Just two weeks ago, Rockstar mentioned that more GTA Online updates are coming. Well, it seems the wait won’t be long now, as the GTA Online next update is out on July 26! Titled “The Criminal Enterprises,” players can expect new events, modes, vehicles, and more! Read on for the full details.
GTA Online Next Update “The Criminal Enterprises” Info:
The Criminal Enterprises is a sweeping update bringing new missions and upgrades to GTA Online including significant expansions to business prospects for Criminal Careers, plus new, elaborate Contact Missions with players operating as a sworn-in agent for the IAA and much more starting July 26.
The Criminal Enterprises also delivers highly requested experience improvements while giving players more choice in how they climb their way up the criminal ranks. Players will earn increased payouts across a range of gameplay, enjoy experience improvements, and more — with new modes, vehicles, collectibles, and special events dropping all summer long, including new showroom floors where players can test drive or simply purchase a range of new vehicles on the spot.
Expand Your Businesses
The Criminal Enterprises offers an assortment of exciting new updates for intrepid entrepreneurs of all kinds. And no matter which Criminal Career path you’ve chosen, all Business activities — including Sell Missions — will now be available to play in private (Invite Only, Crew, and Friends) sessions as part of The Criminal Enterprises.
Executives
Those who own an Executive Office will notice new staff manager Lupe, ready and able to help source additional Special Cargo for your empty shelves. A new side gig will also open up for Executives, where a shipment of Special Cargo will arrive daily outside your Warehouse, packed and ready for delivery to the docks. Plus, two new sources of Special Cargo will also be added to the mix of Source Missions, increasing the variety of missions available to white-collar criminals statewide.
Bikers
Clubhouses with the Custom Bike Shop are getting an on-the-house upgrade, where MC Presidents will be able to modify clients’ bikes to specifications and deliver them to customers for GTA$ and RP. Bikers will also be able to bolster their street cred and bottom lines by completing two new Clubhouse Contracts, posted on the meeting room wall at the Clubhouse. And you might notice patrons haunting the bar in your Clubhouse — a Bar Resupply mission will keep the kegs tapped and the clientele happy while earning a little extra income for your MC.
Gunrunners
Ammu-Nation has heard that you’re all about supplying quality goods at a fair price, and they want in. Make a daily delivery to a designated Ammu-Nation store for an additional source of revenue. When stocking your Bunker, you’ll come across two new Resupply Missions, so be sure to rob these new targets for all they’re worth. And players will also be able to launch Resupply Missions from the road or increase their research progress by sourcing data from a well-armed mark.
Nightclub Owners
Nightclub owners can now contact Yohan to take on missions to source Goods for their Nightclub Warehouse or call Tony to launch Club Management missions. Two new Club Management missions have been added to the roster, giving you new ways to promote your above-board operations. Meanwhile, inside your club, you’ll be able to maintain the vibes by ejecting troublemakers and chaperoning passed-out VIPs to safe locations off-site.
Go Undercover in Operation Paper Trail
Agent ULP will be in touch with the new Operation Paper Trail, commissioning 1–4 players as sworn-in agents to investigate the local petrochemical magnates, the Duggans, to see if they’re the invisible hand behind spiraling oil prices.
Get Behind the Wheel with New Vehicles
Two new Imani Tech-eligible vehicles will be available to take advantage of special upgrades from F. Clinton and Partner’s expert hacker, including remote control, missile lock-on jammer, and more.

Increased Payouts and Other Improvements
In addition to all the above, be on the lookout for a comprehensive list of new gameplay and experience improvements coming to GTA Online, including a reduction in the effectiveness of the Oppressor Mk II’s homing missiles and countermeasures, an easier way to replenish Health during firefights with more convenient access to snacks and armor, and much more.
The Criminal Enterprises will also introduce several changes to the economy, including permanent boosts to Race and Adversary Mode payouts, increased payouts for original Heists and The Doomsday Heist, bigger paydays for Bodyguards, Associates, and MC Members, and more.

Following the recent leaks regarding The Last of Us Part I remake, we now have a better understanding of just what new stuff we’ll be getting with the game come Spetember 2. If you’re curious how the original holds up graphically to the remake, we’re here to show you a The Last of Us Part 1 remake side by side comparison!
Note that the remake screenshots shown have some reworked camera angles, so it’s not a 1:1 comparison because of this, but it’s as close as possible, and generally gives us a look at the visual upgrade overall.
The Last of Us Part I Remake Side by Side Comparison:
It’s a big enough visual change, no? That said, don’t expect any major gameplay changes per the leaks, though we’d love to be proven wrong in that regard.
Curious about The Last of Us Part I or interested to get it? Here’s what’ you’ll be getting into (via Sony):
Rebuilt for the PlayStation 5Completely rebuilt from the ground up using Naughty Dog’s latest PS5™ engine technology with advanced visual fidelity, fully integrated DualSense™ wireless controller features and more.
A faithful remakeExperience the emotional storytelling and unforgettable characters of Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us, and explore the events that changed the lives of Ellie and her best friend Riley forever in the critically acclaimed prequel chapter, Left Behind.
All-new experienceA total overhaul of the original experience, faithfully reproduced but incorporating modernized gameplay mechanics, improved controls and expanded accessibility options.
Feel immersed in improved environmental storytelling, effects, facial animations, and enhanced exploration and combat.
The Last of Us Part I is headed out on the PS5 this September 2.
A gamer at heart, James has been working for MP1st for the last decade to do exactly what he loves, writing about video games and having fun doing it. Growing up in the 90's gaming has been in his DNA since the days of NES. One day he hopes to develop his own game.
Krafton has just released an official video that breaks down the brand new skin-creation crafting system for PUBG: Battlegrounds and explains exactly how it will work.
The video first goes on to explain that crafting skins will require crafting materials, which can be found in Hunter’s Chests and Archivist’s Chests. Those chests will be available for direct purchase through the store and will also be available for free through various PUBG events.
The Hunter’s Chests and Archivist’s Chests will include imprints, vouchers, and credits. You can then use those imprints to craft skins which will also require credits. Vouchers, on the other hand, will allow players to craft skins without needing any extra credits.
The chests will also include what is known as Artisan Tokens. These valuable Artisan Tokens will be required for what is known as Special Crafting which will be the only way to craft some special skins in-game.
Vouchers and imprints for skins that the player already owns can also be disassembled and repurposed as materials for other skins the players might desire.
PUBG Corp has released PUBG update 2.14 today for the console versions of the game. This is update 18.2 which was available for PC owners earlier this month. This update comes with some new content as well as a ton of gameplay improvements and bug fixes. Check out the PUBG July 21 patch notes below.
Clear weather will be temporarily applied to Deston for both Test Server and Live Server due to an issue of the smoke in smoke grenades appearing transparent. The weather settings will be reverted once the issue is fixed.
※ PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE FEATURES AND UPDATES SHOWN BELOW MAY BE MODIFIED OR EVEN POSSIBLY REMOVED DUE TO REASONS SUCH AS BUGS, IN-GAME ISSUES, AND/OR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK. WE WILL UPDATE OUR PLAYERS IF SUCH CHANGES OCCUR.
NEW MAP: DESTON
The wait is over. Our 9th new map we’ve been teasing about all this time is finally here this update. Welcome to the 8x8km near-future and ravaged world: DESTON!
Deston (formerly known as “Codename: Kiki”) presents you diverse biomes – a flooded downtown embracing one of the tallest skyscrapers you’ve ever seen in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, a murky swamp, clear coasts, beautiful mountains, and unexplored islands.
Check out our Deston website HERE to go on a VR map tour (July 13th UTC) and delve more into the unknown before its live server release.
Available in Custom Matches and Sandbox Mode (PC).
Bots may spawn in Deston.
Available vehicles: Pickup, Dacia, Coupe RB, Motorbike, Dirt Bike, Roadster Motorcycle, Quad, Buggy, Boat, Aquarail, and Airboat.
The Flare Gun, DP-28, S12K, G36C, QBU, QBZ, K2, Sticky Bomb, Mortar, Lynx AMR, 15x Scope will NOT spawn in Deston.
A few points of interest
RIPTON: The overflow of water has submerged this sprawling city… players will have to wade through shallow water to pass through while always having to be on the alert for enemies lurking at the highest levels of surrounding skyscrapers. Here, you can travel seamlessly from the ground to the sky and back down again with tall buildings! But to prevent snipers from being too advantageous, we’ve made sure not every building here is accessible. (ex. Some buildings may only have a single floor accessible.)
SWAMP: Take a stroll through some trees, grass, and houses built along the water and enjoy a suspenseful cat and mouse with your enemies knee-deep in water!
CONCERT: An outdoor concert festival grounds where you’re free to strut some dance moves before heading out to fight for that Chicken Dinner.
HYDROELECTRIC DAM: This area was once used as one of the green methods for generating power in Deston.
ASSEMBLY: Observe how wind turbines are made here at the Assembly!
ARENA: Don’t let all the entertainment at this paintball arena distract you too much from your main purpose.
MAP UTILITY ITEMS
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS has a variety of special items that can be looted and consumed to create interesting gameplay.
Therefore, to prompt even more diversified plays, we are introducing players who enter Deston to the new MAP UTILITY ITEMS. These items will trigger special in-game interactions depending on the situation, which are expected to provide a new core game flow without breaking player immersion.
MAP UTILITY ITEMS…
Will be placed in your Inventory once you enter Deston.
Will not be consumed on use and may be used as many times as you wish.
Will not affect Inventory weight.
Can NOT be dropped from the Inventory.
Can NOT be swapped with other Inventory items.
Will occupy their own Inventory slot.
Available Map Utility Items
ASCENDER ATTACHMENT
Allows you to use any Ascender as often as they want.
UTILITY PARACHUTE
Looks exactly like the Emergency Parachute.
Can be activated by pressing the Interaction key after jumping off a certain height.

NEW FEATURE: ASCENDER
Are you going to climb those towering skyscrapers on foot?
Nope! Travel the flashy and fastest way on vertical spaces with the new ASCENDERS!Use the Ascenders to create some Mission Impossible moments while getting your hands on some loot at the top!
Ascenders are spread throughout the map as ropes attached to objects that allow vertical traversal.
Both ends of the Ascender are accessible any time.
With an Ascender, you can swiftly descend from the highest rooftop with no risk of fall damage.
You can not use an Ascender when another player is currently using the same one.
You are unable to loot items from the ground when you’re on an Ascender.
Once mounted on an Ascender:
You can move up and down the rope using movement keys.
Using the Sprint key while MOVING DOWN (ONLY) will increase the speed of descent.
You can dismount from the Ascender at any point.
If you dismount at the top of the rope, you will teleport to the spot on the building near the top.
Otherwise, you will let go and fall.
You can still be shot and killed on an Ascender.
You will detach from the Ascender and fall to the ground.
Ropes can be found inside and outside structures.
Ropes are static objects that don’t have movement.
Ropes can be found on varying heights based on the structure.
CELL TOWERS
Cell Towers are very tall and thin ASCENDER-FOCUSED BUILDINGS.
These towers allow you to ride an Ascender from the ground level up to a very high position in one, long ascent.
Ascending and descending on a Cell Tower provides a faster traveling speed compared to regular Ascenders.
When you press the Interaction key at the top of the tower, you will be flung into the air in the direction you’re facing.
Shortly after being flung into the air, your Utility Parachute will automatically deploy, allowing you to safely glide a long distance.
Ascending a Cell Tower and traveling with your Utility Parachute will help you reach your destination faster than traveling on foot!

NEW FEATURE: SECURITY KEYS AND SECURITY DOORS
Discover new ways to roam Deston with the new SECURITY DOORS! Pick up SECURITY KEYS, unlock Security Doors, and pick up high-tier items at your own risk.
Security Doors are located throughout buildings in Deston.
Security Keys will…
World spawn around the map.
Stack in your Inventory.
Security Keys are consumable items and will be removed after single use.
Security Doors can be grouped together so that one Security Key can unlock the entire group.
Security Doors can not be closed nor relocked.
Therefore, the open doors will be a hint to other players that you’ve been (or still are) at this area.

NEW FEATURE: FUEL PUMP
As you and your vehicle chase down an enemy, you realize you’re almost out of gas… when you notice out of the corner of your eye a Fuel Pump!
Stop by the FUEL PUMP to refuel your vehicles, or why not make it explode to finish off your enemies?
Fuel Pumps will be located throughout Deston.
Only the driver riding the vehicle can press the Interaction key to refuel the vehicle.
You are required to press the Interaction key for 1 second.
The vehicle much be at a full stop to refuel.
The use radius is 5m.
If the vehicle moves or the driver changes seats during refuel, the refuel will cancel.
The driver can repress the Interaction key to cancel fueling.
Vehicles must be missing a minimum amount of fuel before they can use the Fuel Pump.
There is no limit to using Fuel Pumps.
Fuel Pumps have a health value.
They can receive damage and be destroyed, which creates a large explosion and damages all players around it.
After receiving damage, Fuel Pumps will spark and begin leaking gas, exploding after a few seconds. Additional damage dealt to the Fuel Pump will cause it to explode sooner.
When a Fuel Pump’s health falls below a certain value, it will begin taking damage over time until it completely runs out of health.
Destroyed Fuel Pumps can not be used.

NEW WEAPON: O12
Introducing the world’s fastest shotgun: O12.
Not only is the O12 a high-capacity weapon, but the potential lethality of each slug ammo combined with its sheer volume of fire will also make it feared in both close- and mid-range combat! Its relatively long range than any other shotgun will make the O12 a worthwhile choice for every player.
The O12 will world spawn in Deston.

MIRAMAR
To improve the Miramar play experience, we have improved inconveniences pointed out in the past, enhanced details of buildings and added an oasis to the minimap.
Improved Terrain
By improving the level of the terrain that caused inconvenience while driving, smoother driving is possible when driving a vehicle.
Improved Buildings
The quality of small cottages and storage buildings have been improved inside and out.
Due to high win rates, the billboard on San Martin’s roof has been removed.
Some house buildings have been improved in the outside.
A storage’s fences and layouts have been rearranged.
Billboards have been installed over the map.
Oasis
The water depth comes at the character’s ankle height around the shore. At the center, it comes at the character’s waist level, so the character cannot be prone in the water. Also, the level of the terrain has been lowered around the oasis.
The height of the mountain terrain has also been lowered to increase accessibility along with new roads to help access the Oasis area.
The location name Oasis is added to the minimap.
Along with that, the Oasis has received a great improvement inside and out.
Vehicle Spots are added.
A vehicle spot is added near the Oasis. Certain vehicles’ spawning spots have been relocated.
Three vehicle spots have been added near the roads of Chumacera.

(CONSOLE) GRAPHICS OPTIONS
In April’s Community Care Package, we explained the graphic level we were targeting, the various technical issues we were experiencing, and the reason for the delay in development. As previously explained, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS on console platforms is very sensitive to memory usage. As a result, we’ve spent a lot of time optimizing memory usage on console, allowing us to add improved graphics options. Also, with the support from the platform holders, it became possible to differentiate between the previous generation (PlayStation®4/4 Slim/Pro, Xbox One/One S/One X) and the current generation consoles.
There is a potential stability issue in delivering the same level of graphics that many players expect on all console devices. Therefore, we’ve provided different maximum framerate and resolution options per console device to provide stable gameplay.
SUPPORTED SPECS BY CONSOLES
ANTI-ALIASING
Added an option on specific console devices allowing players to choose between FXAA (Fast approximate anti-aliasing) and TAA (Temporal anti-aliasing).
Enabling TAA will soften the sharp edges you see on objects at a distance when playing.
Enabling this option can cause a ghosting effect when a console’s framerate drops below 60fps.
FXAA is set as default.
Anti-Aliasing options will be available on the following consoles.

SURVIVOR PASS: DESTON
Richen your Deston experience even further with the new Survivor Pass: Deston! Check out more details in the upcoming July Store Update announcement.
NEW SYSTEM: WORKSHOP
As a Squad streaks through the Battlegrounds, one player starts to notice another teammate’s skin.
“Hey, nice skin. Where’d you get it?”
“I made it in the Workshop.”
“Workshop?”
Yup, the Workshop! We’re very excited to introduce our brand new system: the WORKSHOP where you can now craft your own skins with never-before-seen materials!
Purchase Chests and keys from the Store, gather Imprints, Vouchers, Credits, and Tokens, murmur a little bibbidi-bobbidi-boo and craft various skins!
WORKSHOP WILL BE AVAILABLE TO USE FROM THE 18.2 LIVE SERVER (NOT AVAILABLE IN 18.2 TEST SERVER, BUT WILL BE IN THE NEXT 19.1 TEST SERVER).
A WORKSHOP MENU has been added to the lobby menu.
You can choose to do Regular Crafting or Special Crafting at the Workshop menu.
To use the Workshop, a Hunter’s Chest and/or an Archivist’s Chest is required.
You can obtain Imprints, Vouchers, Credits, and/or Artisan Tokens from these Chests.
Purchase a Hunter’s Chest and/or an Archivist’s Chest from the Store.
The materials’ probabilities are available through the Store preview.
You’d need a key to open Hunter’s Chests and/or Archivist’s Chests.
Keys are purchasable at the Store.
Or, you can craft a Key by using 3 Key Fragments.
You can open obtained Chests at the Regular Crafting page.
Different types of Chests may be added in later updates.
Use up materials to craft items you were unable to get in the past! You can craft items no longer at the Store, Survivor Pass items, Workshop-exclusive items, and more.
Item sales that ended AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD are only available for crafting.
REGULAR CRAFTING
Craft previous Store, Survivor Pass, and Esports items with Regular Crafting!
You can also DISASSEMBLE or REPURPOSE materials here.
IMPRINTS, VOUCHERS, and CREDITS are the core materials.
IMPRINTS
Use Imprints and Credits to craft items.
You can also choose to Disassemble Imprints to earn Credits or Repurpose Imprints.
SET IMPRINTS
You can craft at least 2 items from designated items.
You can choose to exclude the item(s) you do not wish to craft from the options.
IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A SET IMPRINT FROM THE CHESTS FOUR TIMES IN A ROW, YOU ARE GUARANTEED 1 SET IMPRINT IN THE NEXT CHEST OPENING.
VOUCHERS
You can craft items without having to use Credits.
You can also choose to Disassemble Vouchers to earn Credits or Repurpose Vouchers.
CREDITS
Currency used for crafting items with Imprints.
Obtainable from Chests or from Disassembling Imprints/Vouchers.
REPURPOSING
Allows you to exchange 3 Imprints/Vouchers for a random item (of the same tier as the Repurposed materials) that you do not possess.
The probabilities of the random items are all equal.
You can obtain costumes, gear skins, vehicle skins, emotes, sprays, and/or nameplates through Repurposing.
If you already possess every item of a certain tier, you’ll receive the tier’s worth of Credits instead.
You can check out/equip your crafted items at the Customize tab.

Craft new costume sets only at Special Crafting!
ARTISAN TOKENS are the core materials.
ARTISAN TOKENS
Currency used for crafting at Special Crafting.

So, learned everything you need for the Workshop? A Workshop walkthrough video will also be available at our official PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS YouTube channel soon so make sure to watch for more insight!
And last but not least, several events that give out Chests and materials as rewards are also coming up to help you get used to the Workshop, so stay tuned!
ITEM TIER
Even though it is difficult to place a clear standard on an in-game item’s value (as they vary depending on the situation and definitely through time), we thought this would be the best time to readjust a bunch of our items’ tiers – including the earlier items that were not even bestowed a tier in the first place – as a sequential update to the Workshop.
The tiers were readjusted based on each item’s in-game quality, how difficult they were/are to obtain, and many other factors. With this, we hope to create a synergy with new features such as the Workshop and upcoming updates as well.
You can check out the list of readjusted tiers of each item at the very bottom of the Patch Notes.
WEAPON MASTERY
Remember how we shared our plan for a significant overhaul of the Weapon Mastery, which had not been updated for a while, through the Weapon Mastery Overhaul announcement last March? We’ve expanded the Mastery Tier to motivate our already maxed-out players. Also, we have added must-have rewards, so level up and move on to the next tier to collect all rewards!
STATS OVERHAUL
We have categorized stats by game modes (All, Normal, Ranked) and by weapon type (All, AR, DMR, SR, SMG, SG, LMG, Pistol, etc.)to provide all the information our players wanted to know in the past. You can check the following information through the new Stats.

EXPERT TIER SYSTEM
The Expert Tier System will motivate players to continue their level upgrades as it will allow players to move on to the next tier once they reach the highest level. There are a total of seven different steps from tier 0 to 6.
Highest level is 700.
As soon as you reach level 100, you can move on to the next tier and start leveling up again for all tiers below Master tier.
Tier levels
Tier 1: 100 – 199
Tier 2: 200 – 299
Tier 3: 300 – 399
Tier 4: 400 – 499
Tier 5: 500 – 599
Master Tier: 600 – 700
REWARDS
We have made the Mastery Level more visible to other players so that players can start showing off their achievements. In addition, the following will be rewarded on every tier upgrade.
Weapon Nameplates evolve through visual upgrades.
You can see the Weapon Mastery Tier through the kill message (the message that shows up in the center of the screen when a kill is made, not the kill feed) when a kill occurs.
Weapon Mastery Medals are rewarded on every tier upgrade.
Previous and new BATTLEGROUNDS PLUS players will be rewarded by the number of weapons that have reached level 100 retroactively. Therefore, accounts before the transition to BATTLEGROUNDS PLUS will not receive Mastery Medals.
Charms are provided retroactively.
Weapon Mastery Charms will be retroactively rewarded based on the highest level weapon after the update and will no longer be provided as Weapon Mastery Rewards. For example, if you have a level 50 M416 and a level 30 AKM, all Charms up to level 50 will be rewarded.
Charms can no longer be acquired through Weapon Mastery and instead can be acquired with BP or through other means.
UNIVERSAL CHARM SYSTEM
Due to the nature of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ battle royale system, it was challenging to pick and upgrade a weapon in particular. For that reason, the ownership of the charm was given to unlocked guns. Now, the ownership goes to players, and they can be equipped with any weapons.
Charm Customize Menu
Charm customization is now possible from the Charms Customize weapon tab.
XP COUNT
Increased bonus multiplier to allow less popular guns to level up faster.
Points are rewarded based on kills instead of defeats. Also, defeat distance is no longer included in the final score.
We’ve increased the overall amount of XP.
STORE – CHARMS
After the retroactive distribution of Charms, they can no longer be acquired through Weapon Mastery and instead can be acquired with BP from the store except for the ones you have already acquired. For more details on Charms, please checkout our July Store Update announcement.
MASTERY MEDAL
Previously, the medals were only obtainable in-game. Now, we have added commemorative medals that can also be acquired in the lobby. Meet all the conditions to collect all commemorative medals! The medals are for you to keep for good.

PERFORMANCE
Optimized memory use by compressing data used to show indoor reflections. As a result, you can save over 50MB of memory on Xbox One S.
Slightly reduced CPU usage for all vehicles. This helps secure frames when multiple vehicles are on one screen, especially when playing on low-end console devices.

While we’re more than a month away from The Last of Us Part I remake hitting store shelves, it seems details, screenshots and even footage have leaked online! Note that some of the stuff posted here might be spoiler-ish for those who haven’t played it yet, so proceed with caution.
Check out screenshots of The Last of Us Part I on PS5:
https://imgur.com/a/uzkVNZB
There’s also a short gameplay clip available too:
For something more gameplay-related, we also see in-game screenshots of the settings menu where we see the Rendering Mode, Unlocked frame rate options. Here’s what players can spot in the settings menu that’s new for PS5.
Rendering ModesAdjust the resolution of the framerate.
Fidelity:
Favor resolution over framerate (4K, 40Hz)
Target 40 fps
Performance:
Balanced resolution and framerate (Dynamic 4K, 60Hz)
Target 60 fps
Unlocked Framerate

Alongside the settings screenshots, in-game screenshots of the controller layout has made its way online too.

Finally, there’s also footage of the game showcasing the facial animation and visual upgrades, though this is super spoiler-y for the game. So if you want to not spoil the story at all, don’t watch it (this is very early on in the game’s story and plot):
Now here’s the bad part: the controls screens confirm that dodge and prone mechanics in The Last of Us Part II won’t be available in TLOU Part I! Not only that, but the leaker also claims that there are no gameplay improvements outside of animation and audio.
Images/Footage Leaker claims there’s no gameplay improvements.
Leaker says most gameplay improvements are animations and audio.
Leaker says the game supports VRR, 4K40 FPS (Gameplay Mode) & 4K60Fps (Dynamic Mode).
Leaker says the game will feature an array of new accessibility options as seen in The Last of Us: Part II, additionally when Joel upgrades a weapon you’ll now see him add attachments.
Same as with any other leak, treat this one with a grain of salt, though with the amount of stuff leaked now, it’s hard to refute any of it. The Last of Us Part I has now entered gold status, so the September 2 release date should be locked in.

For Call of Duty players looking for the next content drop for Call of Duty Warzone and Vanguard, Activision has you covered, as the Warzone and Vanguard Mercenaries of Fortune mid-season update details have been revealed, and for this one, we’re going to see The Terminator franchise crossover to Call of Duty!
COD Warzone and Vanguard Mercenaries of Fortune Mid-Season Update Info:
Release Date:
Vanguard update out on June 26 at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET/12 AM HKT
Warzone update out on June 27 at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET/12 AM HKT
Warzone Mercenaries of Fortunte Mid-Season Update – What’s New:
Fortune’s Keep: Cursed Ground Public Event Live Prior to Update
As first found by Warzone’s Operators this week, Fortune’s Keep is now considered Cursed Ground – and now has an event to match.
Right now in Warzone, there are several “cursed chests” hidden around the newly discovered island. These chests contain power-ups and high-quality items… but can only be unlocked by brave souls who survive a hungry horde.
Once the event begins, Zombies will continuously spawn in the vicinity of the cursed chest. Eliminate them near the chest to harvest Wisps; as your collection grows, more difficult waves of zombies will rise to protect their Cursed Ground.
Harvest enough Wisps within the time limit to secure victory and access the rewards within, including Cash, Killstreaks, Equipment, and possibly Perk Tokens.
Just remember that the Circle Collapse can devour you just as effectively as the disturbed animated corpses that rise from the cursed soil of Fortune’s Keep…
Portable Redeploy Balloons, Armored SUV Nitrous Upgrade
Need more flexibility in movement options? The mid-season update brings two new movement options to Caldera: Portable Redeploy Balloons and a nitro boost to the Armored SUV.
Armored SUV – Now with Nitro Boost Power
After a quick pit stop for upgrades, the four-passenger Armored SUV will now include a Nitrous Boost.
In Rebirth of the Dead, a re-imagined version of Zombie Royale presented by Beenox, ten quads will deploy to the island, ready to battle fellow Operators, both living and undead.
Eliminated Operators return as zombies, intent on adding to their numbers by pursuing the remaining humans. To revive as an Operator, zombies must locate and collect four antivirals, which can be found in several ways:
Lone antivirals, visible through obstacles, are found in crates and at Buy Stations.
Eliminate an Operator to earn two antivirals.
Earn all four antivirals by performing a Finishing Move as a zombie, earning your instant revival and netting you the animated “Head Scratcher” Calling Card in the process.
Throughout the match, the Infestation Meter will fill up as zombies are eliminated. Once it is filled, all spectators will be revived as Zombies.
Those skilled enough to win a match as a human will receive the animated “Last Alive” Calling Card, a true testament to your ability against all enemies, alive and undead.
Vanguard Zombies Camos Available in Warzone
There’s no better way to fight the undead masses, than with Zombie Camo weapons!
In Mercenaries of Fortune Reloaded, those who unlocked Vanguard Zombie Camos – including Golden Viper, Plague Diamond, and Dark Aether – can use them on their Vanguard weapons in Warzone.
Titanium Trials: Endurance
To simulate the toughness of a Terminator model, the maximum base armor threshold will be increased to 300 hit points, with the Tempered Perk appearing more frequently as ground loot for more efficient armor repairs. Each player begins the game with a Self-Revive Kit and core health regeneration takes longer to restore, making it a high-skill, high time-to-kill (TTK) game mode.
Titanium Trials features a custom-built loot table to support the higher TTK gameplay, including exceedingly rare Redacted Weapons that are a step more powerful than Loadout Weapons. There are also fewer overall resources in the map to reward Operators who act aggressively towards the opposition, with the cost of Loadouts beginning at a higher price point and decreasing through the duration of the match.
Titanium Trials: Endurance, using the Battle Royale ruleset on Caldera, goes live on August 11 for two weeks only. Be there or be terminated.
Vanguard Mercenaries of Fortunte Mid-Season Update – What’s New:
New Vanguard Multiplayer Map — Desolation
Deploy to a Pacific listening post in Desolation, a new medium-sized Multiplayer map set in a labyrinthine village cut directly into the mountainside, with a crashed plane in flames on the nearby cliffside.
Traverse the winding alleys and confined shanties on the ground floor where close-quarters combat can erupt at any moment or over the rooftops and walkways above, mantling from position to position. The listening post itself lies near the center, right in the middle of the chaos. The Operators who combine fast reflexes with smart movement are sure to find success here.
Ikenna Olowe Joins Butcher and Hendry
Ikenna Olowe understood strategy from a young age. As a child in Nigeria, he excelled at chess, quickly surpassing his teachers. He grew strong studying Gidigbo, a martial battle of wits. Balanced in body and mind, Ikenna joined the war effort as a battlefield engineer, establishing critical supply lines around the globe.
His preferred weapon is the new Vargo-S Assault Rifle — use it while playing as Ikenna Olowe to gain bonus Operator XP and Weapon XP.
Unlock Ikenna Olowe by purchasing his Bundle, scheduled to go live in the Store in Mercenaries of Fortune.
Vargo-S
Trading firepower for improved accuracy and fire rate, this rifle excels in medium and long-range engagements.
Accuracy is king with the Vargo-S Assault Rifle, paired with a high fire rate for added aggression. Though outclassed in power, its reliability finds success in a variety of Gunsmith configurations, from fast-handling and snappy for tight mid-range play to adding a scope and additional stability to better compete from a distance.
Unlock the Vargo-S by completing its in-game challenge or by purchasing a Store Bundle to be released later this season, featuring a Weapon Blueprint from this weapon’s family.
The first cybernetic organism developed by Skynet, the Model T-800 is perfectly able to blend in with humans utilizing living tissue over a hyper alloy skeleton. Now is your chance to become the classic Model T-800 Terminator.
This ten-item Bundle features the Ultra-rarity “Model T-800” Operator paired with its own Finishing Move, Play of the Game, and MVP highlights for a truly immersive experience. Also get the “Neural Net Processor” Ultra Assault Rifle Weapon Blueprint, “Coltan Alloy” and “Motorhead” Legendary Weapon Blueprints, “Always Scanning” Charm, “I’ll Be Back” Animated Emblem, and the “Infrared Optics” Reticle.
Skynet’s advanced AI model, the Model T-1000 is developed from a mimetic polyalloy liquid metal capable of shape shifting to better impersonate the human resistance.
The Ultra “Model T-1000” Operator leads this ten-item Bundle, also featuring its own Finishing Move, Play of the Game, and MVP highlights as well as three Legendary Weapon Blueprints: the “Liquid Metal” SMG, the “Persistent Mission” Assault Rifle, and the “Identity Theft” LMG. Also equip the “Alternative Future” Watch, the animated “Full Chase” Emblem, and the animated “Unstoppable” Calling Card.
Same as always, once the patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know! Don’t forget, aside from the new content, there’s also new adjustments being made, and we’ll let our readers know what they are once the official patch notes are out.

EA confirms several in-demand features will make their way into FIFA 23. The game will now officially feature women’s club teams for the first time ever, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023, and cross-play.
FIFA 23 is now set to be the first game ever to allow fans to play both the men’s and women’s FIFA world cups in the same game. Both world cups are also set to join the game as post-launch updates and at no additional cost.
For the first time ever, fans will also now be able to play women’s club teams in FIFA 23. The game will feature Barclays Women’s Super League and Division 1 Arkema joining the biggest stars and teams, including 19,000+ players across 700+ teams in over 100 stadiums and over 30 leagues.
Finally, EA finally confirms that FIFA 23 cross-play will be available for the soccer sim on day one. The feature, however, will only be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC.
Cross-play will be available at launch in FUT Division Rivals (except Co-Op), FUT Champions, FUT Ultimate Online Draft, FUT Online Friendlies (except Co-Op), FUT Play a Friend, Online Friendlies, Online Seasons (except Co-Op Seasons) and the Virtual Bundesliga competitive game mode that is available to players based in Germany. Cross-play is initially enabled for all players when launching FIFA 23 for the first time, provided the platform level settings allow for it, and it can be opted out of at any time
EA SPORTS FIFA 23 is now available for pre-order via the game’s official website. The game is coming out later this year on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC.
Discord on Xbox and PlayStation consoles has been in demand for as long as Discord existed. Now Xbox Insiders will have the opportunity to try out the new feature first-hand and the feature should soon be available for all Xbox console owners.
The new feature will allow Xbox players to connect to Discord voice chats from their consoles. This will allow players to connect with their friends on different platforms without wondering if every individual game that you will be playing is supporting this feature.
To try out this feature, players will open the guide on their consoles by pressing the Xbox button. Go to the Parties & chats section, and click “Try Discord Voice on Xbox.”
After that scan the QR code that will appear on the screen, from there you will have to link both the Discord Xbox applications on your phone in order to set up a two-way link between the two accounts. Even if you have previously connected both accounts, you will have to do that again.
Once these steps are done, whenever you join an audio channel on your Discord mobile application, you will see a new “Join on Xbox” option. Once you choose that option, the call will be transferred to the console of your choosing.
The tl;dr version:
Using Discord Voice chat on Xbox will be easy – to get started, users should:
Connect their Xbox account to their Discord account to grant Voice Access to their console
Install the Xbox mobile app to transfer voice activity from Discord to their Xbox console
Go into a Voice channel on Discord. From the Discord mobile app, select the option to Transfer to Xbox.
Confirm in the Xbox mobile app (it will open automatically and prompt users)
It is worth noting that so far Discord does not have a dedicated application on Xbox consoles. All calls are simply transferred from your Discord account to your Xbox console.
The feature is now only available for Xbox Insiders who have the latest test build installed on their console. The feature should also be available for all Xbox Console owners in the future.
