In the days since the launch of Apex Legends Season 13: Saviors , fans have squabbled over various topics ranging from arguments about Newcastle being over- or under-powered to endless disagreements about the recent changes to Ranked mode. But there's one thing almost everyone in /r/ApexLegends , the game's official Reddit community, can agree on: Someone is crashing console lobbies on purpose. Following Season 13's update on May 10, a few bugs popped up , but none of them seemed particularly serious--that is, until several reports emerged claiming that freshly killed squads were using some sort of exploit to crash servers. But this is Apex, a game that is no stranger to server issues (especially right after a season launch), so these reports were initially met with skepticism. It could always be a coincidence, after all. It certainly seemed that way until footage emerged of Twitch streamer "Awhlyssa" exploiting the glitch while livestreaming. In the clip, a teammate … [Read more...] about Sore Losers Are Using Xbox Exploit To Crash Apex Legends Servers

Lost Ark – Ark Pass Explained: All Rewards, Skins, And How To Level Up
With the arrival of Lost Ark's major Battle for the Throne of Chaos content update also comes the free-to-play MMORPG's first battle pass, aka the Ark Pass. This new reward track doesn't replace any of the existing ones--there's still the daily log-in bonus rewards--but offers yet another way for dedicated players to earn additional honing materials, currencies, ship materials, cards, and even a mount, for free. Here's everything in the first Ark Pass and how to earn its rewards. How To Progress The Ark Pass To level up the Ark Pass and earn new rewards, you'll need to complete missions that reward Ark Pass XP, which can be found under the Ark Pass screen.

Lost Ark's Battle For the Throne of Chaos update arrives today, and it's the biggest update to Smilegate RPG and Amazon's free-to-play MMORPG yet, adding a new class, a battle pass, a new continent, numerous quality-of-life updates, and more.

New PlayStation Plus: Games, Pricing, And Everything We Know
In case you missed it, PlayStation announced that it's revamping PlayStation Plus . The new-and-improved version of PS Plus is expected to deliver much of what you already get from it while adding aspects from PlayStation's other subscription, PlayStation Now, which allows users to play games via cloud streaming.

PS Plus Is Getting Tiers The biggest change PS Plus users are going to have to get used to is the new tiers coming.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Is More Than Animal Crossing In Mickey Mouse Ears
When Disney Dreamlight Valley was announced , I found its intersecting parts of Disney, the farm-life sim genre, and a free-to-play model to be exciting. With a fair in-game economy and gameplay that keep genre fans coming back, the Animal Crossing-like could have the potential to become a hit with players of all ages--but that microtransaction question loomed large. After spending an hour with the Gameloft development team and checking out a hands-off demo, I'm heartened to have seen a pay model without uncomfortable caveats, making me more confident Dreamlight Valley will be well populated by fans of the genre and brand alike. On the surface, Dreamlight Valley appears to be your typical farm-life sim--even its name seems determined to recall imagery of Stardew Valley, one of the genre's most beloved games. I arrived to my demo wanting to find out if this other valley could provide a similar mix of relaxing gameplay mechanics such as farming, mining, and socializing. It does … [Read more...] about Disney Dreamlight Valley Is More Than Animal Crossing In Mickey Mouse Ears
Netflix To Workers: Quit If You Don’t Want To Work On Content You Disagree With
Netflix has updated its culture guidelines to inform prospective workers that they might be asked to work on content they don't agree with or they perceive to be "harmful." If that's upsetting, there are other jobs out there, Netflix said. For the first time since 2017 ( via Insider ), Netflix updated its culture guidelines with a section pertaining to "Artistic Expression." The company says it supports artistic expression of all types and it allows its audience to choose what it wants to watch. As for employees, they might be asked to work on content they might find "harmful," and if that's the case, they might want to look elsewhere for employment. "Not everyone will like--or agree with--everything on our service," Netflix said. "While every title is different, we approach them based on the same set of principles: we support the artistic expression of the creators we choose to work with; we program for a diversity of audiences and tastes; and we let viewers decide what’s … [Read more...] about Netflix To Workers: Quit If You Don’t Want To Work On Content You Disagree With

Netflix’s New Ad-Based Tier Could Launch As Early As October, Report Says
Netflix has said it might introduce a less-expensive, ad-based option in the future , and it could arrive sooner than expected. Netflix management said in a recent note to employees obtained by The New York Times that the new ad-based tier could launch by the end of 2022, which is earlier than the company apparently planned. Specifically, Netflix management said the ad-based tier may launch in the final three months of 2022, so sometime in the October-December window. At around the same time, Netflix will ramp up efforts to stop password-sharing, a mission the company has been on for some time already. Whether or not Netflix launches the ad-based tier in all markets all at once or if it's rolled out in waves remains to be seen. For years, Netflix said it would not introduce an ad-based model, but the company announced a new way of thinking earlier this year after losing 200,000 subscribers . Netflix projects it will lose 2 million more subscribers in the months ahead . This … [Read more...] about Netflix’s New Ad-Based Tier Could Launch As Early As October, Report Says
