A new Steam beta update hints at more cross-play with Xbox
The barriers to cross-platform multiplayer are slowly being eroded away, with even the previously stubborn Sony finally acquiescing. It’s increasingly prevalent between Xbox One and PC, especially, with both platforms already sharing Xbox Live. Microsoft games like Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 4 and Gears of War 4 all feature cross-platform multiplayer. In many cases, using the loathed Microsoft store is still necessary, but a Steam beta update suggests that might cease to be the case. Spotted on GitHub and reposted on ResetEra, the code references Xbox network features and hints at possible closer links between Steam and Xbox Live. It’s worth noting, however, that there’s already cross-platform support between the two platforms for games like Killer Instinct. These Windows 10 games feature on both the Microsoft Store and Steam, while more recent ones, like Sea of Thieves, are Microsoft Store exclusives. The cross-platform multiplayer that already exists … [Read more...] about A new Steam beta update hints at more cross-play with Xbox
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

Kraken news! Sea of Thieves closed beta update gives clues about what’s to come
An update to the currently inaccessible Sea of Thieves closed beta has been datamined, revealing new content added to the pirate game. The most eye-catching finds revolve around ye olde oversized octopus or squid, the Kraken, which has long been linked with the game. Let's face it, it wouldn't be a proper pirate game without it. The files, rummaged by the Sea of Thieves subreddit, mention defeated animations for the Kraken as well as a roar and underwater powerslam, which sounds interesting and, clearly, as though we'll fight it. There is a sound effect for hitting the Kraken with a cannon, too, and individual tentacles can apparently die. The Kraken was dredged up in another Sea of Thieves datamine from a week ago, where the beast was said to be able to wrap tentacles around ships, suck players up and spit them out. The newer datamined files also turned up mention of new types of skeleton - metal, plant and shadow in addition to bone - which should provide some much-needed mission … [Read more...] about Kraken news!
