Hi-Rez Studios is opening up the Realm Royale beta on consoles to everyone. Realm Royale, Hi-Rez Studios’ battle royale shooter based on Paladins’ world and heroes, first hit the scene last year. After a successful PC launch, the game entered closed beta on PS4, and Xbox One. Though player numbers, at least on PC, took a big hit in the following months, Hi-Rez has renewed its commitment to the game and its player base in the new year. The first item on the agenda is the Realm Royale open beta, which goes live tomorrow, January 22 on PS4, and Xbox One. This is the first time the game will be available without the need of special invite codes. The studio is also planning more new content and updates for the game in 2019, with details to be revealed soon. Hi-Rez Studios also revealed in an email that the Switch version of Smite will enter closed beta before the end of the month, with an open beta to follow shortly after. … [Read more...] about Realm Royale goes into open beta on PS4 and Xbox One tomorrow

Fallout 76’s latest PC beta update caps frame-rate at 63fps, locks FOV
Bethesda has locked Fallout 76’s frame-rate in the most recent beta patch on PC. The penultimate Fallout 76 beta session, which took place last night, went live with a few improvements on consoles and PC. Not all of these have been welcomed by players, however, particularly those on PC. As you’ve probably seen, Fallout 76’s unlimited FPS on PC was causing the classic increase in speed and screwing up physics. This has been the case for many Bethesda games, but the developer decided to act now because frame-rate tweaks have the potential of ruining a multiplayer game like Fallout 76. It admittedly may be impossible to uncouple physics simulation and animation from frame-rate just days before release, so Bethesda decided to instead lock the frame-rate. Players on Reddit have reported a locked 63fps on PC. While you were previously able to unlock the frame-rate through the game’s .ini files, this is no longer possible. Switching the files to read-only also … [Read more...] about Fallout 76’s latest PC beta update caps frame-rate at 63fps, locks FOV
Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta Updated With New Mode
Treyarch has added a new mode to the Black Ops 4 beta with a new update. The developer updated the game with a new mode called “Fast Collapse.” The mode is pretty simple but will boost enemy encounters and will end the game faster than usual. In the new mode, the circle will move faster than usual which means players will have to move to the safe zone sooner than they usually would. Naturally, the more you move the more chances of engagement with other players. Remaining outside the circle means you will be dead but what would be even more interesting is if the circle does more damage in addition to moving quicker. Black Ops 4 Blackout beta update is now live so boot up your client to enjoy the new mode. The addition of “Fast Collapse” also indicates that Treyarch might add more modes to the battle royale section when the game comes out. It would be similar to PUBG where new modes and community events are added every now and then to avoid stagnancy. Black … [Read more...] about Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta Updated With New Mode
Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta Update Will Nerf Armor This Thursday
Black Ops 4 Blackout beta will get an update this Thursday and it is expected to nerf armor, reducing time to kill for those wearing armor. Armor is a crucial part of Blackout and it needs to be found as soon as you land. However, those who manage to find it often end up getting an unfair edge in combat due to an increase in time to kill. After gathering feedback from the community, David Vonderhaar confirmed that his team is planning to nerf the armor this week. They are looking to test it today and roll out an update on Thursday. Black Ops 4 Blackout beta feedback is important for the final product as there are still many changes being made. Just recently, Treyarch released a list of new changes and improvements for Black Ops 4 beta. They are changing the way loot pick up works and fixing the quick equip menu as well. Some players have had trouble performing certain actions while the Quick Equip menu is open. We have two fixes set to go live around 10 AM PT tomorrow (Tuesday) that … [Read more...] about Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta Update Will Nerf Armor This Thursday
