How to See How Much Money You’ve Spent in Valorant

1 year 9 months ago

Wondering how much money you’ve spent in Valorant? Although the game is entirely free-to-play, it offers plenty of purchase options for players looking to nab some unique weapon skins or speed up the process of unlocking a new character. If you’re looking to see how much you’ve spent in Valorant, Twinfinite has you covered below.

Checking Your Purchase History in Valorant

The simplest way to see your purchase history in Valorant is to use this official support page for doing so. After visiting the link, simply follow these steps to see how much you’ve spent in Valorant:

  1. Click the red “Log In” button.
  2. Log in with your Riot Games account information. This will redirect you back to the support page.
  3. Click the red “Get My Purchase History” button.

After a brief wait, the page will display every transaction you’ve made on that particular Riot Games account in Valorant, including the amount, the payment method, and the date/time the transaction took place. Above the list in bold is the total amount you’ve spent on Valorant with all of the transactions added together.

Can You See How Much You’ve Spent In Valorant Itself?

As of right now, there is unfortunately no in-game equivalent for checking purchase history, meaning the above support page is the only option for seeing your Valorant purchases in a tidy list.

Summer Games Done Quick 2022 Raises Over $3 Million for Charity

1 year 9 months ago

The annual Summer Games Done Quick speedrunning marathon ended on Sunday morning and has raised over $3 million for charity. The weeklong event received over 42,000 donations totaling $3.01 million for the Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières organization, though a few late bids have increased the total since then.

This would mark the third-highest donation total in the organization’s history with the Awesome Games Done Quick 2022 marathon setting the record at $3.4 million earlier this year, followed by the Awesome Games Done Quick 2020 event at over $3.1 million raised.

Summer Games Done Quick 2022 was the first event to be held in-person after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down most operations starting in 2020. The last event to be held in-person was AGDQ 2020, and all events held after were online-only.

SGDQ 2022 had over 130 runs of various games such as Tunic, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Minecraft, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, and more. There was also a Super Mario Sunshine run that seemingly ended in disaster, but bounced back with a flurry of donations and support from the community. Complete runs can be watched from the Games Done Quick YouTube channel.

Legendary Visual Novel Witch on the Holy Night for PS4 & Nintendo Switch Gets First English Trailer

1 year 9 months ago

Today Type-Moon released the first trailer in English of the upcoming remaster of the legendary visual novel Mahoutsukai no Yoru, which is being titled “Which on the Holy Night” officially for the west.

The trailer provides a look at the cast of characters and a glimpse of the story, but it also showcases the English localization (which was confirmed a while ago) for the first time.

Interestingly, we also get a “This Winter” release window, which may mean that the western release may not be exactly at the same time as the Japanese one. That being said, it has to be close considering that the game launches in Japan on December 8.

The platforms as the same as Japan, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, and we also get a glimpse of a Mature ESRB rating, which isn’t very surprising given the game’s themes.

You can watch it below.

f you’re unfamiliar with Mahoutsukai no Yoru, which translates as “The night of the witches” (“Witch on the Holy Night” is the official subtitle of the Japanese version) is a visual novel released in 2012 by Type-Moon, known for creating the ultra-popular Fate series.

The Best Dragon Quest Games, All 11 Ranked

1 year 9 months ago

It’s long overdue, but it’s time to rank all the mainline Dragon Quest games that have been released so far.

Few game series have the fame and wide spread appeal that Dragon Quest enjoys. An RPG series stretching back three decades with talents the likes of Akira Toriyama tied to its creation and continued innovations, it has entertained gamers for years with tales of chosen heroes overcoming untold evils with the help of lovable party companions. As with any series, though, some entries proved better than others, and we’ve got all 11 mainline entries ranked from fine to phenomenal.

it’s worth noting that this ranking will not include the side and spin-off games like Dragon Quest Builders and Builders II which, while still awesome, aren’t exactly comparable to the big JRPG adventures of the main games.

Dislyte’s Bloody Hunt Trailer Teases Raid-like Event, Along With 3 New Espers: Amunet, Ullr, & Azure Dragon

1 year 9 months ago

Dislyte is one of the bigger mobile game releases of the year from Farlight and Lilith Games, and it’s certainly made a splash for itself by boasting an incredibly unique art style and very diverse cast of characters. The developers have just dropped a new trailer for the game, showing off three new Espers coming in the next update, along with a brand new game mode that looks a lot like a raid-style event with potential co-op elements.

You can check out the trailer down below:

The three new units are as follows:

  • Azure Dragon: Xiao Yin (Flow, 4-star)
  • Ullr: Aurelius (Flow, 4-star)
  • Amunet: Zora (Flow, 5-star)

The reveal of the three new Espers alone is already exciting, as the current meta is currently dominated by a lot of Inferno Espers, whereas Wind and Flow Espers have kinda fallen by the wayside, save for a select few standouts. All three new Espers will be Flow-attuned, which will hopefully shake up the meta when the patch does drop.

Soul Hackers 2 for PS5, PS4, Xbox, & PC Gets New Screenshots Showing The Soul Matrix & More

1 year 9 months ago

Today Atlus released another gallery of screenshots and details of the upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2.

Deep under the city where the game is set, there is a place named Axis, which Aion uses as its base. There you can interact with Flamma, who represents Aion.

Within Axis you can find the Soul Matrix, a series of dungeons associated with Arrow, Milady, and Cyzo. These dungeons represent their mental state and the deeper Apple connects with them, the deeper they can be explored.

You can use the enemies that appear within the Soul Matrix to grow your party’s powers, while you can also find Vision Quests that will let you explore their past.

You can also receive Orders from Aion, which are basically quests that offer special rewards. When your Soul Level grows above a certain threshold, you’ll be able to acquire Summoner Skills in the Soul Matrix. These have various effects like buffing stats or increasing the power of the Sabbath.

Within the Soul Matrix you can also find extremely powerful enemies that you should avoid unless you’re prepared for a very challenging fight.

Along with the screenshots, we also see artwork of various demons, including the Frost “family.”

You can check them all out below.
