Destroy All Humans, the remake of the 2005 PS2/Xbox title, now has a demo. Right now, it's only available on GOG, so you can test the game out and see how it plays on your PC.

The demo consists of the game's first mission, which was shown off in a recent trailer. Whether you played the original or not, you can now get some insight into what the game involves. There's no word on whether the demo will be available elsewhere in the future.

According to the demo description, this is about a 20-30 minute slice of gameplay, so don't expect to spend a whole afternoon with it. The demo weighs in at a fairly hefty 8GB.

If you don't like to play your games on PC, Xbox One owners will be able to get some idea of what the Destroy All Humans experience entails in June, as the original will be a part of Xbox Games with Gold. If you're really keen, there's also a $400 Collector's Edition available for preorder.

Cliff Bleszinski, the designer of the original Gears of War games, has reflected on the closure of his latest studio, Boss Key. Appearing on the Animal Talking show with Star Wars writer Gary Whitta, Bleszinski said the closure of his studio affected him personally in a serious and significant way.

"I was deeply, deeply depressed for about a year," he said. "My doctor put me on Lexapro for a little bit. That messed me up, so I got off that. It was one of the hardest things to happen to me in my entire life. It was almost harder than losing my father when I was 15 years old."

Half-Life: Alyx has received a new update, bringing the game up to version 1.4, and it's added a nifty new feature--liquid inside bottles. That's not normally the kind of thing that would excite us, but Half-Life: Alyx's liquids are an exception.

The GIF below shows off the new liquid in action inside a bottle, and it looks extremely realistic. The new feature isn't the liquid itself so much as the physics underpinning it, which should look extra impressive in VR.

Update 1.4 adds several other features and fixes to the game, including a raft of new subtitles, some UI improvements, and crash fixes. The Workshop has also been updated, which will be good news for anyone who likes to tinker.

Minecraft Dungeons is out now, and Microsoft has teamed up with the fashion company CLOAK to release a clothing series for the title--including, yes, a series of wearable cloaks. The brand, which was co-founded by Minecraft content creators Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, has released a whole range of Minecraft clothing.

Along with cloaks, which are undoubtedly the highlight (especially if you're living in a cold climate currently), there's also shirts, hoodies, jogger pants, and caps available. All the clothing in this range is inspired by Minecraft Dungeons, and the Bauhaus and De Stijl art movements are cited as influences.

The cloaks are "ultra-limited", according to the press release, and are designed for comfort in mind. They're also, of course, the exact sort of outfit you might wear if you were exploring a dungeon. You can see more from the range below.

Microsoft's game-streaming service, xCloud, has introduced five more games, including one of the company's 2020 exclusives.

Available now in the xCloud beta on Android are Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Batman: Arkham Knight, Mortal Kombat X, Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, and Pillars of Eternity.

These games are available in the xCloud service right now. They join the 50+ games already in the catalog, including Gears 5, Destiny 2, Halo 5, Hellblade, Madden NFL 20, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Those looking forward to the Fasnacht Day parade in Fallout 76 have had their prayers answered; the event is back on after experiencing technical issues at launch on May 25. Robots will be set loose upon Appalachia every hour for the duration of the event, and Bethesda has extended the festivities until June 9.

Fasnacht Day is part of the May community calender for Fallout 76 (below), which includes other events like a Double XP weekend earlier on in the month, backpack vanity upgrades shortly after that, and the upcoming submission window for players who want to contribute to the "Black and White" gallery which will go on show in June.

Grand Theft Auto VI is presumed to be the next title in development at Rockstar Games, and now an SEC filing by publisher Take-Two Interactive might indicate that it won't be ready until 2023. [Update: Take-Two has contradicted the takeaway in a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, saying the table only reflects marketing commitments for third-party companies and not its internal projects. As a result, this wouldn't indicate any potential marketing spend on a new Rockstar game.]

A 10-K filing by Take-Two, which includes presumed marketing spend for the next five years, shows that the company is planning to spend over $89 million in its 2023 financial year. This period starts on April 1 2023 and ends on March 31 2024, with double the marketing budget than any other year during this five-year stretch by. According to analyst Jeff Cohen of investment firm Stephens (and reported by VentureBeat), the budget is likely for Grand Theft Auto VI.

Despite this, Cohen points to previous 10-K filings by Take-Two where the marketing budget accurately predicted the launch windows of games before their announcement, with Red Dead Redemption 2 being the most recent example. Although timeline can change over a five-year forecast, it seems plausible that Take-Two's current plan is to launch the next Grand Theft Auto installment a decade after Grand Theft Auto V.

If you haven't yet checked out Far Cry 5, you'll be able to play it for free on PC this coming weekend through Uplay. The sprawling, America-set entry in the Far Cry series will also be discounted, as will the rest of the Far Cry series.

You'll be able to play the game for free from Friday May 29 at 6AM PT until Sunday, May 31 at 1PM PT. Preload is available now.

This probably won't be enough time to see everything Far Cry 5 has to offer, but you'll be able to pick the game up cheaper than usual. The standard and Gold editions of the game will both be discounted by 75% during and following this weekend, while the season pass and DLC packs will be discounted by 50%.

Additionally, all other games in the series will be discounted by up to 75% on the Uplay Store. That includes the standard and Gold editions of each games, and it means you can grab the classic Far Cry 2--or the newer Far Cry New Dawn--at a discount.

Far Cry 5, which pits you up against a cult, received a 9/10 in GameSpot's review. Reviewer Edmond Tran wrote that the game "boasts a wonderfully harmonious flow to its adventure, with its smart changes to exploration, discovery, and progression distinctly bolstering the enjoyment of creatively engaging and experimenting with its spectacular open world."

The final boss in Minecraft Dungeons is, as you might expect, the game’s primary antagonist: the Arch-Illager. Given that it’s the last boss fight in the game, it makes sense for it to be tough--however, the difficulty spike from the previous section to this one is astonishing. If you’re having trouble with the Arch-Illager, you’re not alone. I, too, had an absolute nightmare trying to beat him. It took ages.

But there’s a way to tackle this boss fight in which victory is almost guaranteed. When I went back to take him on a second time, it was substantially easier than the first, because I had a plan. Here’s how to take down the Arch-Illager in Minecraft Dungeons. Be wary, this is a guide for the final boss fight, so expect some minor spoilers below.

If you’re concerned about the final area before the fight, make sure you know how the enchanting system works in Minecraft Dungeons and take some advice from our essential tips and tricks for Minecraft Dungeons. We’ve also put together a guide for everything you need to know about Minecraft Dungeons. Be sure to check out our Minecraft Dungeons review, too.

Martin Scorsese has partnered with Apple to finance and produce the new movie Killers of the Flower Moon. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scorsese originally brought the movie to Netflix--which financed his extremely expensive mobster movie The Irishman--but Apple's bid apparently came in higher.

The report says Netflix was ready to sign Killers of the Flower Moon for $215 million, while MGM was also said to be involved in the bidding process for an undisclosed sum

The final price paid by Apple for Killers of the Flower Moon was not revealed in the report. Apple will finance the movie, while Paramount (which is owned by GameSpot parent company ViacomCBS) will distribute it.

Danganronpa, the cult-classic visual novel that recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in Japan, is now available on mobile for the first time. The first part of the trilogy is on both iOS and Android, and the store description specifically calls it "Part 1" of an anniversary release--because Danganronpa 2 and 3 are coming as well.

The first game in the series casts players as Makoto Naegi, a new student at Hope's Peak, a top-class school that only invites students who are at the absolute top of their field--but Naegi has been invited as the "most lucky" student, having gotten in based on a lottery system.

The students that arrive at the school soon find themselves locked off from the rest of the world and issued a challenge by Monokuma, a malevolent teddy bear (stay with me here)--the only way to escape the school is to commit a murder and not get caught during the class trial that follows. If one student can convince the others to unanimously declare the wrong party guilty, they'll be allowed to escape while everyone else is killed.

It's a weird, fun adventure, and has become a cult classic since its 2010 release in Japan on the PSP. The Vita version received an 8/10 in GameSpot's review.

The game is $15.99 on iOS and $17.99 on Android. It's also available on Vita, PS4, and PC. Release dates for the second and third games on mobile have not been announced as of yet.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is in the works for the launch of both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X (as well as PC and current systems), and it's going to introduce a few changes to the Assassin's Creed formula. The two most recent games in the series, Origins and Odyssey, have taken the series in a new direction by melding the action gameplay with RPG elements. Valhalla isn't necessarily dropping those, but it sounds like progression will be a bit different in the new game. It should serve as a more comfortable play experience for fans of the earlier games, which were pure action-adventure games with very little in the way of role-playing elements.

Talking to Kotaku, creative director Ashraf Ismail has delved into the game's progression system, as well as how new missions will be doled out, among other details. Ismail says that one of the goals with this game is to prevent players from hitting progression walls, so that you're less likely to need to grind to level up.

"We have a new take on progression in this game," Ismail says. "We have more the concept of power, power that is gained through, let’s say, the player gaining skills." He wants to avoid "big progression walls" with this game, so that players can explore freely without being held back too much.

Things have been quiet on the System Shock remaster front for a while, but today a demo for the game has suddenly launched. The demo, which is available now on both Steam and GOG, lets you test out all of the game's unlockable weapons within the Medical Bay.

The game, which is set in 2072, is being remastered with a new visual engine, but it aims to present the same story and gameplay that players enjoyed in the 1994 original. It's being developed by Nightdive Studios, which also released an Enhanced Edition of the game in 2015, and is working on System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition too.

The press release GameSpot was sent promises that we'll learn more about the future of the System Shock franchise soon. "Stay tuned for much more System Shock news coming in June," it teases.

It's been an interesting month for System Shock news, as we also recently found out that Tencent is now involved in the development of System Shock 3, which was looking for a while like it might be in trouble. The IP and franchise is still owned by Nightdive Studios.

Hot on the heels of news about Denuvo anti-cheat being removed from Doom Eternal, Metro Exodus has also removed the same software from all PC versions of the game.

Metro Exodus is available on Epic Games Store, Steam, and also via Xbox Game Pass for PC. All three iterations of the title have received a recent hotfix that removes Denuvo anti-cheat software from your installations. On top of that, owners of the Epic Games Store version of Metro Exodus can now back their saves up (which they were unable to do previously).

The hotfix has just been deployed, and it also makes some minor tweaks to the Sam's Story expansion as well as to Epic save backups, as mentioned. The full list of hotfix changes is available below, as pulled from the official Metro Exodus site:

Microsoft has released a new Xbox app that aims to give parents more control over what games their children can access and how long they are allowed to play, among other things.

The new "Xbox Family Settings" app lets you set screen time limits on a daily and weekly basis, while it also allows you to provide, for example, more time on the weekends and less during the week. The app gives parents the ability to set content filters. For example, you can choose to block mature-rated games for younger children or other variations based on age and content level.

The Xbox Family Settings app also allows parents to limit in-game communication with other people. You can toggle the setting to only allow children to chat with friends or not at all, for example. Another feature in the app is activity reports, which are exactly what they sound like. These are gaming and usage reports sent daily or weekly to parents.

May 2020's Games with Gold offerings once again lean into sports and racing, but there's also a pair of action-RPGs. The first of these games are available now for Gold members.

For the whole month, users can grab V-Rally 4, a 2018 Xbox One off-road racing game that features more than 50 rallycross cars, buggies, and more. V-Rally-4 is more of an arcade racing game than a sim, with scenic tracks scattered across every continent.

You can also head back to 2009 until May 31 with Overlord 2, a decent Xbox 360 action-RPG in the now-defunct series. It earned a 7.5/10 in GameSpot's Overlord 2 review, in which we praised the diverse combat mechanics and humorous story.

Dragon Age writer David Gaider's new game, Chorus: A Musical Adventure Game, is going through some tough times right now due to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

In a post to the game's Fig page, the developers said the global pandemic has led to a "loss of productivity, inevitable delays, and many difficult days." Overall, however, the developers at Summerfall Studios say that Chorus is "fine" and "progressing as well as can be expected."

Three members of the Chorus development team have either contracted the coronavirus or been tested for it, the studio said. "Almost all of us have been through mandatory isolation periods. The rest of the time, we've been self-isolating to do our part in helping stop the spread, and still are!" the statement reads.

Developer Naughty Dog unveiled some new information about The Last of Us Part 2 in today's State of Play livestream. During the showcase, director Neil Druckmann confirmed that the upcoming sequel features "some of the largest environments" Naughty Dog has ever created.

While talking over various gameplay sequences before showing off an extended look at The Last of Us Part 2, Druckmann divulged some interesting tidbits about the sequel and its world. He confirmed that Ellie can perform various traversal movements--including climbing, jumping, swinging from ropes, and swimming--while exploring a dilapidated Seattle and other locations "previously unexplored" in the game's universe. These additional traversal mechanics will allow you to discover new areas, resources, and side missions.

While talking about the new additions made to The Last of Us Part 2, Druckmann said that the game features incredibly large environments never-before-seen in a Naughty Dog title before. As such, horseback riding and boat sailing are necessary components to making your away across The Last of Us Part 2's world.

The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the most anticipated PS4 games releasing this year, and as its June 19 release date quickly approaches, fans now have another way to celebrate the game's launch and own a piece of limited-edition The Last of Us hardware. Sony announced a new PS4 Pro bundle that features a limited-edition console and controller inspired by The Last of Us Part 2, and it'll launch alongside the game on June 19. Aside from the PS4 Pro bundle, the Last of Us Part II PS4 collection also includes a new limited-edition Gold Wireless Headset and a Seagate 2TB Game Drive. Update: Unsurprisingly, the limited-edition PS4 console has sold out, but you can still buy the headset and controller at a few retailers.

Check out everything the Last of Us Part II PS4 collection includes below, including price and where to purchase. Plus, if you still need to pre-order The Last of Us Part II, we have a guide breaking down all every special edition and pre-order bonus.

Niantic has announced two new features that are coming soon to Pokemon Go, both of which will continue to enhance the game's AR capabilities. The first is dubbed "Reality Blending," and it will make Pokemon blend more naturally into the environment around you.

Utilizing the AR tech in certain modern smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Google Pixel 4, Reality Blending will allow the game to display Pokemon partially or fully behind objects. As you can see in the sample clip below, Reality Blending will make it so that Bulbasaur will be obscured when you move the camera behind a tree.

Minecraft Dungeons is a brand new spin-off from blockbuster crafting game Minecraft, but it's pretty different to its source material. What I mean is, even if you're a huge fan of Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons might not necessarily be what you're expecting--instead of mining blocks, chopping down trees, and building all kinds of creative structures like you would in a building game like Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons is an action role-playing game. For those less acquainted with the genre, that means it involves the hacking and slashing of a lot of monsters and other bad things, taking inspiration from a variety of classic titles like the illustrious Diablo series.

Minecraft Dungeons tells the story of a bad guy called the Arch-Illager, who was ostracized by a group of mean Villagers because he looked a bit different to them--sort of like what happened to Shriek in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Anyway, he ended up becoming quite powerful, which radically accentuated the chip on his shoulder and made him reckon it was a good idea to set loads of villages on fire. Naturally, Minecraft Dungeons is all about your quest to stop him.

Once you're up to speed, consider reading about our essential tips and tricks for playing Minecraft Dungeons, and keep an eye out for more nitty-gritty guides coming soon.

As it turns out, the remake of Trackmania Nations will also have a free-to-play version. Simply titled Trackmania, the fast-paced arcade racer will be available in three editions: Starter Access, Standard Access, and Club Access. Starter Access will be free when the game launches July 1 on PC via the Epic Games Store and Uplay.

The Trackmania series is know for its streamlined four-button gameplay and snappy tracks that are often littered with sharp turns, corkscrews, and flips that make for a consistently exciting experience.

With Starter Access, you'll be able to play a rotating series of campaigns that refresh every three months, race on 25 official tracks, and have access to user-created tracks as well as tinker with the editors yourself. You can compete in online Nations League matches each week, too.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne can be a grind sometimes, especially when you are farming for certain monsters to acquire specific materials. So to make two particular Event Quests a better investment for players, Capcom has rolled out a small update on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One that offers more rewards.

For the Event Quests "Talk About a Party Foul…" and "The Wrath of Thunder Descends," Capcom has increased the drop rates of the materials that are awarded upon completion.

"Talk About a Party Foul…" pits you against a Seething Bazelgeuse in an inescapable arena. Should you win the fight, you will get even more Heavy Armor Spheres than before the update. These spheres can be used to improve your armor and on-field performance.

One of the most beloved classic fighting game series, Samurai Shodown, is only weeks away from getting its very own retro collection.

The latest Game Ready Driver for Nvidia graphics cards is out now, and it helps lay the foundation for the future of games aiming to utilize Microsoft's DirectX 12 Ultimate.

Support for DirectX 12 Ultimate was added in the latest Windows 10 May update by Microsoft, and Nvidia's latest driver now lets developers planning to work with the new API utilize their Nvidia GPUs.

DirectX 12 Ultimate aims to streamline many new next-gen rendering features across a broader spectrum of engines, including more performant ray-tracing, variable-rate shading, mesh shading, and more. Its benefits won't be seen in games just yet, but this update ensures Nvidia is as up-to-date with Microsoft's API updates as it was with the dawn of ray-tracing and DirectX 12 in 2018.

Over the past decade, the Xenoblade series has transformed from a little-known cult series into one of the biggest Japanese RPG series of the current day, known for their strategic real-time combat and sprawling worlds. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition has finally arrived to the delight of a much larger fanbase than it had back on its original Wii release in 2010, and the reviews are unabashedly positive.

In our Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition review, critic Jacob Dekker gave the game a 9/10, calling it one of the most memorable JRPGs of its era. "Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is just as vast and fantastical as it was in 2010," he wrote. "...Definitive Edition proves that Xenoblade Chronicles is still a fantastic JRPG with an immense amount of strategic depth that's still impressive in 2020. Its bevy of improvements and additions, as well as its fantastic epilogue, make this an adventure worth embarking on a decade later."

We've rounded up some more reviews below, with most of them finding few flaws with the game. In general, critics praise the improvements to the game's more dated-aspects, particularly in regards to the UI and quality-of-life improvements like map markers. However, some chide the game for a high level of perceived "grindiness," as well as faulting its sidequests for lacking much in the way of depth.

The Last of Us Part II will be the focus of Sony's next State of Play stream, scheduled to take place today, May 27, at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 10 PM CEST.

The stream will feature a deep-dive on gameplay mechanics seen in previous showings of the sequel, with Naughty Dog vice president and The Last of Us Part II co-director Neil Druckmann narrating the footage. Although a lot of the stream will give context to gameplay that's already been shown, there will be around eight minutes of gameplay for a brand-new area of the game, too.

The State of Play stream is expected to be around 20 minutes long in total, similar to the most recent stream for Sony's other upcoming PS4 exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima. And in case you were wondering, Sony makes it very clear in the announcement of this State of Play that there will be no mention of the PlayStation 5. However, it appears news could be coming on that console soon, as a June 3 presentation will reportedly focus on PS5 news.

Sony is reportedly planning to host a digital event for its next-generation console, the PlayStation 5, next week. Sources close to the matter say the event will take place on June 3, but also that it could be subject to change.

The report, published by Bloomberg and corroborated by VentureBeat, states that Sony won't reveal every aspect of the new console in the first presentation for it, with the company planning additional events throughout the coming months. There is no confirmation on whether the presentation will focus on hardware or software, or a combination of both.

Sony has detailed the technical aspect of the PS5, first announcing its internals during a recorded GDC presentation delivered by Mark Cerny. Since then it has revealed the PS5 DualSense controller and featured the first Unreal Engine 5 demo running on its next-gen hardware. The PS5 is still scheduled to launch during the holiday season of 2020, with Sony not expecting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to change that.

For the second time ever, Pokemon Go developer Niantic gave fans the chance to vote on the game's next Community Day Pokemon. The voting has now ended, and the two winners are Weedle and Gastly.

Weedle received the most votes out of the four possible candidates, which means it will be the featured Pokemon during June's Community Day. Gastly was the runner-up, so it will be July's featured Pokemon.

Niantic has not yet announced when June and July's Community Days will take place, but we already know what event-exclusive moves will be available during each. Beedrill will be able to learn the Ground-type attack Drill Run as part of June's Community Day, while Gengar will be able to learn Shadow Punch during July's event.

Pokemon Home's 1.1.0 update is now live on iOS and Android. The update implements the Battle Data feature, which displays your online battle stats as well as overall rankings, current online competitions, and more. To celebrate the launch of the update, Pokemon Home's trading features have also been enhanced for a limited time.

First, you can now directly trade Pokemon with players on your friends list over the internet. Previously, you could only perform direct trades with friends locally, making this is the first time you can trade with them from far away in Pokemon Home.

Additionally, the time it takes to complete trades via Wonder Box has been shortened, allowing you to use that feature more frequently. The amount of times you can join a free Room Trade group has also been increased from three to 10.

Team17, the publisher behind Overcooked and Moving Out, has announced its latest game--and it sounds really interesting and unique. Developed by Infinigon Games, Epic Chef is a cooking-themed single-player life-simulator game coming to PC.

"Players will find themselves in the city of Ambrosia and as Zest, the mysterious new stranger in town, they must take on master chefs in histrionic culinary combat in a bid to become the best chef in town," reads a line from Team17's press release.

Epic Chef has a narrative element, along with life-sim activities such as farming and foraging. You go fishing, enjoy a day at the spa, or just zen out in the "laid back" city of Ambrosia.

If you're looking for a new role-playing game for Nintendo Switch, Best Buy has a trio of Square Enix titles on sale for $15 off today. Dragon Quest Builders 2, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition, and Octopath Traveler are $45 until 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET.

While $15 isn't a huge discount, all three of the games are currently full price at other major retailers, and Dragon Quest XI is sold out at Amazon right now. We have seen Octopath Traveler for as low as $30 and Dragon Quest XI for under $40 at one point, but there's no telling when they will dip below $45 again. Meanwhile, Dragon Quest Builders 2 has received regular discounts on PS4 and PC, but we don't often see it on sale for Switch.

A new trailer for Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection has been released, and it reveals that the new compilation will contain a game never released before. One of the seven games included in the upcoming Switch, PS4, and PC collection is Samurai Shodown V Perfect--an updated version of the final Neo Geo entry with new content.

The game, which was meant to be the final release for the Neo Geo, was cancelled despite being completed--and now fans of the series will be able to play it for the first time. You can see it in action below.

Seven games in total will be included as part of the compilation:

Signal Studios, the developer behind the Toy Soldiers series, has confirmed a new game is in development: Toy Soldiers 2: Finest Hour. It's coming to Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and first footage of the game is available now on the game's website. It shows toys fighting against one another, as was the case with the original game.

According to the game's site, it will recreate several moments from World War II. "Survive Dunkirk, siege the beaches of Normandy, battle the Imperial Navy in the Pacific, and beware the dreaded arsenal of secret Nazi weapons," the site reads.

It's not clear when Toy Soldiers 2 will release, but like the original you'll be able to both deploy and direct units while also taking direct control of forces to fight the enemy directly.

Those who have been waiting for an update on Wasteland 3 will be glad to know that InXile Entertainment has released a new Dev Diary with details on the game's world, characters, and more.

This is the second dev diary for Wasteland 3 after the first dropped on publisher Deep Silver's official YouTube channel last week. While that particular video focused on character creation and combat in the tactical RPG, yesterday's dev diary release has a bigger focus on the narrative.

InXile's studio head, Brian Fargo, spoke briefly about Wasteland 3's relationship with the previous titles in the series, describing the protagonists' start in this third installment as involving working with "the new patriarch of Colorado who's an authoritarian".

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and the free-to-play battle royale spin-off Call of Duty: Warzone, will be offering double XP over this coming weekend. This will also signify the end of Season 3, which will wrap up at the same time this bonus ends.

The Double XP weekend, announced in the latest Call of Duty briefing, will run from Friday, May 29 at 10AM PT until June 1 at 10 AM PT. You'll also be earning Double Weapon XP and Double Battle Pass tier progression over this weekend.

This will give you a bit of a boost if you need to hit tier 100 in the Season 3 Battle Pass, which will unlock Alex's Indomitable skin. It's also a good reason to jump back in if you've been away from Modern Warfare for a while and check out the newly added maps.

Action movie star Tom Cruise is going to film a movie in space with the support and help of NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX, and now more details about the film have come to light.

The movie will be directed by Doug Liman, who previously directed Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow and American Made. Deadline reports that Cruise and Liman came up with their idea for a movie in space together, and Liman wrote the first draft of the script.

Cruise, Liman, and others will travel to space to film the movie through a partnership with NASA, which contracts SpaceX for space travel.

In another swathe of streamer signings for video giant Twitch, three of the platform's most popular variety streamers have entered into multi-year exclusive deals involving content and partnership support. Summit1G, Dakotaz, and JoshOG follow the likes of DrLupo, honored at last year's Game Awards, in committing to using Twitch as their only streaming platform for the duration of their deals.

Summit1G, whose real name is Jaryd Lazar, has been streaming with Twitch since 2013 according to his channel, while Brett "Dakotaz" Hoffman has been broadcasting Fortnite gameplay to an audience of 4.3 million followers.

Both Hoffman and Lazar have enjoyed fame on Twitch while streaming multiplayer games, and are full-time streamers according to the Washington Post.
