While the developer and Activision have yet to comment on the gesture’s removal in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone, it has been removed from the games. The patch notes don’t reflect the removal. As Eurogamer points out, the gesture, which originally meant “okay” for eons, was likely removed due to its recent adoption as a hate symbol. Last year, the sign was noted as “a sincere expression of white supremacy” by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)....

The Politician Elusive Target has arrived in Hitman 3. All owners of the game can play this Hawke’s Bay Elusive Target from now through May 3. This is whether you own the main game or the Free Starter Pack. As with all Elusive Targets, you only get one shot, so you may wish to watch the mission briefing. Currently, players are enjoying The Seven Deadly Sins DLC, Act 1: Greed....

We’ve embedded the video below for your viewing pleasure, as four distinct PUBG characters go on an underwater adventure in the search of red drop boxes - typically filled with guns - only to find a Baby Shark with underwater fried chicken in hand. It’s a trip. This crossover is more than just a short video and some chuckles, there’s a big Baby Shark event taking place in PUBG Mobile right now which brings a whole selection of themed cosmetics and challenges for players to complete....

The Sims 4 developer Maxis hosted a livestream yesterday that showed off a number of new features coming to the game in a free update. The patch, due for release June 2, drops just a few days ahead of the Eco Lifestyle expansion. Most of what the update is adding will be available to all owners of the game. One of the biggest new additions is firefighters, which the developer showed arriving to the scene to put out fires at the character’s house....

One of the key details revealed today during a livestream was the inclusion of The Scarecrow and Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, and a new “Mundy” (human) character named Faye Leung, a New York detective who you can see in the key art below. Season Two of the game takes place six months after the end of Season One, and finds Bigby suspended from his sheriff duties and attending anger management therapy....

We’re sorry to inform you that this leak is totally fake, a joke blown up way out of proportion. In this article, we’ll break down the source of these hijinx, and how exactly it spread so fast across the community. The Ayato horse leak originates with Twitter user Mushi sharing a screenshot of the Wangshen Funeral Parlor discord - a popular hub for Genshin Impact leaks. In this screenshot, Discord user abc69 is asked for some juicy info on Ayato Kamisato (a character we’ve seen mentioned in character stories but not actually seen in-game)....

Let’s start with our favourite recommendation: the SanDisk 200GB microSD card. This little fella regularly holds the top spot in our pick of the best Nintendo Switch SD cards over at Jelly Deals. It exists in that perfect middle-ground of quality, cost and capacity. With the Switch having just 32GB of internal storage, you can see how much extra breathing room this will give you for games, updates and more....

Well, in this second part of the feature, we’ll be exploring that very subject. It’s clear most of the games that would easily end up on this list have been pushed back to 2023. That said, between the precious few that (so far) are sticking to their 2022 guns, and the couple of your under-the-radar, sleeper hit contenders still to come, this year won’t actually end up being that dire when all is said and done....

Weapons and armour tend to get progressively better as you advance through the game, but even lower-end items have their advantages. With inventory space at a premium, deciding what to pack when you leave your settlement becomes more complicated the more equipment you have. It isn’t quite a simple case of linear improvements becoming available the more you play, either. Valheim isn’t above throwing you a curve ball or two — take the mid-game boss, for instance, who is only vulnerable to a handful of weapons, but can be beaten surprisingly easily using the starting wooden club....

In the post, he expressed gratitude to the fans and his colleagues as he passes the baton onto his successor: Where Ziegler is going next is anyone’s guess, though it will still be at Riot. As we know, Riot has a lot of irons in the fire, many we don’t know about yet. But either way, the change in leadership is an interesting development for a game that’s caught fire ever since it officially released a year ago....

Those interested in Valorant, the 5v5 first-person tactical shooter from Riot Games, can in most regions create an account and download the free-to-play PC game. In the game, teams of five players are pitted against each other to win a round-based, attackers vs defenders, best-of-24-rounds gunfight. It is launching with dedicated 128-tick servers, and servers will upsample all player movement to 128 FPS, meaning the servers will automatically upscale lagging players with a poor internet connection to 128 frames per second for the other players....

Valorant hit a very high number of concurrent viewers yesterday on Twitch, with around 1.7 million folks tuning in to see streams. The original figure was noticed by Kotaku, which notes the concurrent viewer count has matched that of Fortnite’s 1.7 million. According to a press release from Riot, the game’s concurrent viewers figure is second only to the 2019 League of Legends World Championship Finals. The game also broke the single-day hours watched record in a single game category within the first hours of the closed beta launch - 12....

There’s no significant changes to Valorant’s most recent Agent, Fade, just yet. Whether or not she really needs nerfing is yet to be seen, as players are still attempting to unlock and learn her. It’ll be much easier to judge whether Fade will undergo any tweaks after a few more weeks or months settling into the roster of Agents. The only changes Fade is undergoing during patch 4.09 are some VFX tweaks to her abilities....

Speaking in the latest issue of Edge magazine (thanks, Games Radar), Valve CEO and co-founder Gabe Newell discussed his feelings on having a competitor such as Epic Games Store. Turns out, he is not really bothered by it, as competition can be a good thing. “Competition in game stores is awesome for everybody,” said Newell. “It keeps us honest, it keeps everybody else honest. “But it’s ugly in the short term....

Mobile games can often be a mixed bag, as there’s plenty with incredible stories, but while normally free-to-play, they’re often walled with countless microtransactions. That made the reveal that Vampire Survivors’ mobile version would be completely free, no strings attached, quite unusual. In an interview with PCGamer, developer Poncle explained why it did so, and the difficulties that have come with the decision. According to Poncle, the studio spent “months” looking for a mobile developer to handle the project, but none were prepared to opt for a “non-predatory” business model....

There’s not much more to say, really. It’s a survey about you, so it’ll ask you about things like the gaming systems you own, what other websites you read, if PGR is your favourite racing series/game series of all time. This will help us know who we are writing for. It’s all anonymous, but if we get more than 100 responses I’m going to assume one of you is an at-minimum C-list celeb – wouldn’t be on the The Masked Singer US, but would be first on the booking sheet for the UK version....

My memory is a little hazy about the exact specifics of the items included, but there was definitely a Troll with bright orange hair. There was a piece of a sponge football (useful!), some braided string, a packet of pickled onion Space Raiders crisps (Best Before Date well before the capsule was due to be uncovered), and one of those bike reflectors that you got in packets of Frosties cereal....

He stepped up to the penalty spot, placed the ball and shuffled back. The goalkeeper looked nervous, but then so was the penalty taker. It was a cold afternoon, but inside this arena (a field), things had reached boiling point. Thoughts flashed through his mind: why is a defender taking this penalty? Why is one of the strikers crying on the sidelines? Who’s dad is that shouting and hollering about how “he’s going to go to your right”?...

Corrupted Holokeys are an easier way to get Tenet Weapons, though you may be farming them for a while depending on your luck. It’s worth your time if the constant Sister chase is wearing you down, though. Here’s everything you need to know about them, including the Corrupted Holokey drop rate.
