Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max & Gen 2 USB Headsets for PlayStation Now Available

Turtle Beach have announced the release of their award-winning Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and Gen 2 USB wireless gaming headsets for PlayStation consoles!

The Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max and Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB headsets for PlayStation are largely the same. Both headsets feature 50mm neodymium drivers, Sony’s 3D Audio technology, glasses-friendly ear cushions, a flip-to-mute mic, a proprietary 2.4GHz wireless connection method, and very impressive battery lives.

Where the Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max truly shines over the Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB is the battery life. The Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max is advertised with a battery life of 48+ hours, while the Slealth 600 Gen 2 USB is advertised with a battery life of 24+ hours. The Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB sticks to the original headset’s price point of $99.99, and as such is the better option for gamers who can do without that extra juice.

Both headsets also now support Windows PC and the Nintendo Switch, putting all questions of portability to rest.

The Stealth 600 Gen 2 Max headset for PlayStation is available in Black, Midnight Red, and Arctic Camo for $129.99. The Stealth 600 Gen 2 USB headset for PlayStation retails for a lower price point of $99.99 in Black with Blue trim or White with Blue trim.

EA CEO Says Uncertainty of Call of Duty Franchise’s Future Is a “Tremendous Opportunity” for Battlefield Franchise

While Sony is absolutely not on board Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard due to how this might make the Call of Duty franchise exclusive to Xbox console platforms, one person that isn’t losing sleep over it is EA CEO Andrew Wilson, as he thinks this will be good for the Battlefield franchise.

Speaking in a Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology talk, Wilson claims that the uncertainty of Call of Duty’s future and which platforms it will be available on could benefit Battlefield, as it’s a platform agnostic game.

And in a world where there may be questions over the future of Call of Duty and what platforms that might be on or might not be on, being platform agnostic and completely cross-platform with Battlefield, I think is a tremendous opportunity. – Andrew Wilson, EA CEO

Given how the last two Battlefield games (Battlefield V, Battlefield 2042) didn’t exactly perform up to the publisher’s expectations, I’d say the BF franchise can use all the help it can get.

Do you agree that Call of Duty being Xbox exclusive will help sales of Battlefield? Or will PlayStation gamers just not care about it? Leave your thoughts down in the comments.

Diablo 4 “Closed End Game Beta” Launches Later This Year, Focuses on Endgame Content

After a massive gameplay footage leak surfaced yesterday, Blizzard Entertainment has announced a “Closed End Game Beta” for the upcoming Diablo 4, which is set to launch later this year!

Watch the new Developer Update video explaining the details of the beta:

As the title suggests, this closed beta for Diablo 4 will focus on the endgame content that’s set to be available to players once they finish the main campaign and then some.

This new “Closed End Game Beta” will be strictly confidential, meaning players are prohibited from discussing or sharing their gameplay experience in any form. The beta only includes the end-game portion of Diablo 4, as the developers do not wish to spoil the details of the main storyline prior to release. Feedback can be provided to the developers in-game through a dedicated tool, ensuring that player experiences continue to improve throughout the beta.

The Diablo 4 Closed End Game Beta includes:

  • Helltide — an ultra-difficult random horde mode event with special loot
  • Nightmare Dungeons — Nightmare-difficulty dungeons that special sigils can be recovered from
  • Whispers of the Dead — special quests (Whispers) that provide Grim Favors when completed
  • Fields of Hatred — PvP zones where players fight to acquire Red Dust
  • Paragon Boards — an end-game character growth system that unlocks after Level 50
  • Cross-play and cross-save across PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One

diablo 4 closed beta
Invitations for the Diablo 4 Closed End Game Beta will be sent to players who have recently been spending significant amounts of time playing through the end-game of Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo 3. Players who believe they accordingly qualify can ensure they receive an invitation by enabling the “News and Special Offers from Battle.net” option in their Battle.net settings by October 11. The last date invites will be sent out by is November 18, so players who have not received one by then are out of luck until public testing phases start early next year.

Diablo 4 will fully release sometime in 2023 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

Team Ninja Explains Why They Chose to Launch Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Day One on Game Pass

In case you didn’t know, Team Ninja’s upcoming action game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one. If you’re wondering why the Japanese studio agreed to this deal, it’s mostly connected to the game’s multiplayer, and how the studio wants the most people it can reach with the game.

Speaking to MP1st (via NextGen Player who conducted the interview at TGS 2022), Wo Long Producer Fumihiko Yasuda (Director of Nioh 2) explained why they said yes to Microsoft hosting the game on Xbox Game Pass when it launches.

Q: Wo Long is going to be day one on Game Pass. What made the team want to go the Game Pass route and how, if it has, already benefitted the team?

Yasuda-san: This is a first for us being day one on Xbox Game Pass. While we’re making a really, really hard game and we’re not sure what everyone will think of that, but by making it available day one on Game Pass so many players that maybe never played this game before will have a chance to do that and we’ll get even more players around the world than ever before. So yeah, this is a big first for us at Koei Tecmo Games and Team Ninja as well and it’s something we’re really excited about. We also think it’ll be really great for the multiplayer with so many people to play with and really increase the number of people you have available to join your party and take on bosses.

Stay tuned to our full interview with Team Ninja regarding Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty hitting the site soon. A demo for Wo Long is now available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is scheduled for release sometime in 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Rockstar Games Issues Statement on GTA 6 Leaks, Work Will “Continue as Planned”

Rockstar Games has finally acknowledged and addressed the GTA 6 leaks that started circulating around the internet yesterday. Yesterday’s leak consisted of in-game screenshots and gameplay from an early build, and also some of GTA 6’s source code. Rockstar Games had not commented on this breach as of yet, but has now finally given a statement saying that they are “extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game (GTA 6) shared with you in this way.”

The developer says that it will continue to work on GTA 6 as planned, and will properly introduce the game to players once it’s ready. Read the full statement below:

“We recently suffered a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information from our systems, including early development footage for the next Grand Theft Auto. At this time, we do not anticipate any disruption to our live game services nor any long-term effect on the development of our ongoing projects.

We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way. Our work on the next Grand Theft Auto game will continue as planned and we remain as committed as ever to delivering an experience to you, our players, that truly exceeds your expectations. We will update everyone again soon and, of course, will properly introduce you to this next game when it is ready. We want to thank everyone for their ongoing support through this situation.”

Thankfully, Rockstar Games has cleared up the part where people suggested the game might get delayed due to its source code getting leaked by saying they do not anticipate any major disruptions in their development of ongoing projects.

GTA 6’s leak is regarded as the biggest leak ever in the gaming industry due to the magnitude of the title, and the number of details that were shared. It’s good for the fans to finally get an official update of what’s happening around it.

Session: Skate Sim New Skaters Revealed

With Session: Skate Sim just around the corner, crea-ture Studios has given us a look at four new skaters coming to the game, increasing the total number of skaters to 16. Torey Pudwill, Nora Vasconsellos, Samarria Brevard, and Ryan Thompson are well-known skaters and will be making their way to the game.

Watch the Session: Skate Sim new skater reveal video right here:

Session: Skate Sim New Skaters:

  • Torey Pudwill:

Torey is definitely one of the most creative skaters out there. This skateboarding addict is always looking to improve his technique and can never seem to stop!

  • Nora Vasconsellos:

Here is one of the best transition skateboarders out there. One of Nora’s major asset is that she has bundles of energy. We have only one advice to share: get some new wheels, she goes really fast!

  • Samarria Brevard:

Samarria is naturally curious and always looking for new spots. And it seems she has a gift for finding the best. She also has amazing stamina, of which many skaters are in awe!

  • Ryan Thompson:

This Austin native believes that skateboarding is the best way to spend your time and have fun. 
Ryan loves discovering new spots and adapting his skating to the cities where he finds them. 

About Session: Skate Sim (via press release):

Session invites players to dive into the genuine 1990s skateboarding way of life, when each stretch of pavement and each stairway was a great location for your favourite stunt. The game’s ultra-realistic physics bring the sensations of skateboarding to life, and the studio has even integrated ground-breaking gameplay, a first in a skateboarding game: the “True Stance Stick”, where each foot is independently managed using the two sticks. With a learning curve that is just as demanding as in real life, players have to practise how to control their board and pull off all the different stunts available in the game, from the simplest to the most complicated. The integrated editing tool lets each player immortalise their greatest achievements on video.

Session: Skate Sim is available now through early access. The full game will launch on September 22, 2022 for Xbox Series, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC. You can find out more on the game’s official website.

NBA 2K23 Update 1.005 Jumps Out This September 19 (Update)

Visual Concepts has released NBA 2K23 update 1.005 today for both last-gen and current-gen platforms. This is a small download for those on PS5, which will be a bit of a relief for most. You can check out the NBA 2K23 PS5 September 19 patch notes down below.

NBA 2K23 1.005 Patch Notes | NBA 2K23 PS5 September 19 Patch Notes:

Size: 400MB, 1.06GB (Xbox)

Update: Visual Concepts has acknowledged the patch, and states that it doesn’t include any gameplay changes (though they only referenced the PS5 and Xbox Series versions).

 

Unfortunately, 2K Sports has not posted official patch notes for today’s NBA 2K23 update yet. However, some info about the update has been posted via the game’s PS4 update history. You can see the details down below. 

  • Improved the stability of the title in addition to a number of general improvements to the user experience.

One thing we can surmise is, this patch will most likely patch out the VC glitch that some players have been sharing online.

Reddit user HammerBroski said that after this title update, players are now able to sign their in-game player’s shoe deal and continue the main quests.

After updating the game, you can now sign your shoe deal and continue on your main quests!
by inNBA2k

If 2K Sports posts official patch notes later today, we’ll be sure to update this post as soon as we can. For the patch notes, expect it to be released in a few hours. Remember: if it’s not from Visual Concepts, then it’s not official.

We’re also checking the community for any confirmed gameplay-related changes as well. Once we find anything substantial we’ll update the post.

Update: Post has been updated with an official acknowledgement from Visual Concepts.

NBA 2K23 Update 1.02 Shoots Out This September 19 (Update)

Visual Concepts has shot out NBA 2K23 update 1.02, which is the game’s first patch since it was released this month. This patch is out on both last-gen and current-gen platforms. Read on for what’s new in the NBA 2K23 September 19 patch notes.

NBA 2K23 Update 1.02 Patch Notes | NBA 2K23 September 19 Patch Notes:

Size: 419MB (PlayStation)

Update: Visual Concepts has acknowledged the patch, and states that it doesn’t include any gameplay changes (though they only referenced the PS5 and Xbox Series versions).

If the developers release anything else about the patch, we’ll update the post.

Reddit user HammerBroski said that after this title update, players are now able to sign their in-game player’s shoe deal and continue the main quests.

After updating the game, you can now sign your shoe deal and continue on your main quests!
by inNBA2k

As expected, Visual Concepts has not released the official patch notes just yet. Expect some of the changes to be different for last-gen and current-gen versions as well. However, if we have to hazard a guess, this patch will most likely patch out the VC glitch that some players have been sharing online.

The PS4 update history states:

  • “Improved the stability of the title in addition to a number of general improvements to the user experience.”

While that’s listed, Visual Concepts has not listed the game’s official patch notes in the game’s update history ever since it was released on PS4, so it’s not entirely accurate.

For the patch notes, expect it to be released in a few hours. Remember: if it’s not from Visual Concepts, then it’s not official.

We’re also checking the community for any confirmed gameplay-related changes as well. Once we find anything substantial we’ll update the post.

Update: Post has been updated with an official acknowledgement from Visual Concepts.

If that’s not enough, you can download more gameplay footage right here. However, just want to provide a disclaimer that MP1st isn’t liable to whatever you download and run on your PC. That link was provided by Reddit user iV1rus0 who posted the leak on Reddit.

Don’t forget, this is beta gameplay, and as such, is not representative of the game’s final version when it releases.

For all we know, some or most of the stuff here are placeholder items, and whatnot. Also, the lists aren’t complete, and as such, don’t ask why X vehicle isn’t in the game or something.

Hopefully, we hear something official from Rockstar regarding today’s massive leak.

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition: ROTT Remaster Releasing Early 2023

Fans of the cult classic 1995 first-person shooter Rise of the Triad, we have good news for you: a remaster of the original title, titled “Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition” is coming to PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in early 2023!

Watch the reveal trailer below:

Apogee Software’s Rise of the Triad was originally envisioned as a sequel to the legendary 1992 FPS Wolfenstein 3D, before being spun off into a separate IP. While the game did not enjoy much commercial success, it quickly gained a significant cult following in the coming decade. Technology and budget constraints forced Apogee to cut a good chunk of planned content out of the game, and the game suffered from numerous bugs and glitches on newer operating systems. A remake by Interceptor Entertainment in 2013 attempted to reimagine Rise of the Triad while staying true to the feel of the original, but failed to garner much commercial attention.

A remaster of the original title was revealed by 3D Realms (the successor to Apogee Software) at Realms Deep 2020. Remastered by Nightdive Studios with help from New Blood Interactive with Apogee Entertainment serving as publisher, Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition features a 4K@60FPS visual experience, increased FOV, cloud saves, restored cut content from the original plus a new story episode, and multiplayer!

We’ll let Apogee tell you the rest of the story:

In Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, players gear up with a five-person task force known as the H.U.N.T. (High-Risk United Nations Taskforce) to infiltrate a mysterious (and exceedingly dangerous) island full of maniacal cultists. With updated HUD and UI elements, players can enjoy the classic campaign *plus* restored cut content and a new, original story episode in the Rise of the Triad universe. Once they’ve blasted their way through the single-player campaign, players can grab a few pals and engage in some old-school multiplayer COMMbatt deathmatch with multiple modes!

rise of the triad remaster

Key Features of Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition:

  • Five playable characters
  • Guns, rocket launchers… and bats
  • Level editor with Steam Workshop support
  • Multiple multiplayer modes (max. 11 players) — including the first ever capture the flag mode
  • A classic for modern hardware — 4K/60, increased FOV, updated HUD and UI, original sprites and texture, modern resolutions, achievements, cloud saves, and more
  • A thrilling story that screams 90s at the top of its lungs
  • All original ROTT episodes and expansion packs plus
  • A new episode created by New Blood, Nightdive, and Apogee software veterans
  • Ability to play with 1995 or 2013 soundtracks + jukebox
  • Level after level of explosive single-player action

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition releases in early 2023 for PC (Steam, GOG, and Microsoft Store), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, priced at $19.99 USD. Nightdive Studios will release physical versions of the new remaster in collaboration with Limited Run Games across multiple platforms. Additionally, a Standard and Collector’s Edition of the remaster are in development for all platforms!

PowerWash Simulator Now Coming to PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch

Indie dev FuturLab’s PowerWash Simulator is now coming to the PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch consoles! First released through Steam Early Access on Windows in 2021, PowerWash Simulator lets power washing enthusiasts (we see you) hose it down in a first-person linear adventure. The game puts players in charge of a small power washing business in the small town of Muckingham. Levels are presented as jobs from clients, and players must thoroughly clean a variety of objects in order to progress through the game.

PowerWash Simulator was fully released on Windows PCs, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in addition to Xbox Game Pass in July last year. PlayStation and Switch gamers will be glad to know that the eccentric game will now be releasing for their consoles too, albeit at an unspecified date later this year.

This new development was announced by publisher Square Enix through a strange infomercial featuring fictional power washing pros Kenny Washmore and Jerry Cleansburg at Tokyo Game Show 2022:

PowerWash Simulator is currently available for Windows PCs (through Steam and Microsoft Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass (including an Xbox Cloud Gaming version!).

Modern Warfare 2 Slide Cancel Spotted in Beta, Here’s How to Do It

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019, one of the (or worst depending on whom you ask) best things about the mobility was being able to slide cancel for an added burst of speed. While Infinity Ward made a conscious effort to omit it from Modern Warfare 2, it seems it hasn’t take, as players in the beta has already found a way to do the Modern Warfare 2 slide cancel.

Over on Twitter, user @ItsObesitys has found a way to do the Modern Warfare 2 slide cancel, though it’s lot harder to do it now.

https://twitter.com/ItsObesitys/status/1570864290030043136

As you can see from the explanation, it’s definitely not an easy thing to do, though it’s not super hard, either. That said, this is a beta, and with Infinity Ward making a concerned effort to remove this accidental feature out, expect the studio to patch these slide cancel exploits as it’s found.

Do you find think Infinity Ward should just restore slide cancelling in Modern Warfare 2? Or are you hoping that this gameplay mechanic gets taken out completely? Leave a comment below and let us know.

Report: GTA 6 Leaker Claims They Have GTA 5 & GTA 6 Source Code, Wants to Negotiate Deal With Rockstar

In a rather unfortunate turn for today’s massive Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) leak, it seems the leaker has more than just gameplay footage and info about the upcoming game, but they seem to have the source code for both GTA 5 and GTA 6!

The leaker with the username teapotuberhacker updated their original post in the GTAForums board, and is now trying to negotiate a deal with Rockstar to prevent further leaks.

Here’s his updated message:

Ok so this has gone unexpectedly viral, woke up to 3000 Telegram DM’s If you are a employee of Rockstar or Take2 and your trying to contact me. Send me a message containing 22559219889638875756 on telegram Or you can email me at teapotuberhacker@protonmail.com **from your corporate email address** I will try to read all these reply soon – i am looking to negotiate a deal

As if leaking the game wasn’t damaging enough for Rockstar Games, they now face the reality that the source code of one of the most highly anticipated games of this generation getting its source code leaked. 

With what’s happening, don’t be surprised to see local and federal authorities involved soon. Mind, this could potentially delay the release of GTA 6 as well, which we’re hoping isn’t the case. We’ve reached out to Rockstar to get a statement about this and will update the post if we get a response.

Report: Loads of GTA 6 Footage, Screenshots Leak Out (Update)

In a big leak that happened earlier today, What’s alleged as the first footage for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has apparently leaked, and there’s tons of it along with screenshots too.

A GTAForums user named teapotuberhacker has uploaded a zip file that lists screenshots and videos taking a look at early development from Grand Theft Auto 6. It shows a female protagonist, which is in line with a rumor that surfaced in July via the ever-reliable Jason Schreier.

GTA 6 Footage Leak:

https://streamable.com/kaqnqp

https://streamable.com/hxm9on

Speaking of which, Schreier has acknowledged that the footage that has leaked is likely to be the real deal.

Apparently, this massive GTA 6 leak was obtained via the Rockstar Games Slack, which was the same way the Uber hack that happened a few days ago. You can even hear some Slack message notifications going off in some of the footage.

Same as with any other leak, treat this one with a grain of salt. That said, this does seem like the real deal. That said, go check it out, as these will most likely be taken down by Rockstar’s legal hounds ASAP.

We have reached out to Rockstar to seek further clarification on the authenticity of this massive leak, and will update the story if we get a response. 

Update: Jason Schreier has mentioned that he has confirmed with Rockstar sources that this GTA 6 leak is legit. I gather, this is the most official confirmation we’ll get until Rockstar issues a proper statement this coming week.

Source: GTAForums, (thank, ak47rocks1337yt)

Update: (Editor’s note: the post has been updated for clarity and cohesion).

Update 2: As expected, Rockstar has taken down the footage. We’ve updated it with more from the community.
