Bungie shared info about what loot you can get and a new game mode in this year’s Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost. They talked about it in a blog post and also mentioned some changes coming to Destiny 2’s PVP modes. Festival of the Lost is Destiny 2’s Halloween celebration.
Eva Levante, the event vendor, gives players a special mask for a fun activity called Haunted Sectors. Wearing the mask while playing earns you candy, which you need to get more rewards. This year, Bungie has made some significant changes to the event, shaking things up a bit.

In the latest Destiny 2 blog post, Bungie shared exciting updates about the Festival of the Lost. This time around, there are new kinds of loot and game modes to enjoy. They’re introducing something called Eerie engrams, and you can get them by completing Haunter Sectors.
There’s also a special kind of Haunter Sector called Legend Haunted Sectors, which are harder but give you an even better chance of getting Eerie Engrams.
One thing coming with the festival is Hocus Focusing. This feature lets you use Eerie Engrams to focus on specific Festival of the Lost Weapons and Exotic Armor. This means you can get awesome Exotic Armor pieces without using up your valuable materials. Just head to Master Rahool and focus away.
This year’s event has a new item – a random drop from Festival of the Lost activities called the textured black leather Memento. Also, in the Checkmate game mode, Bungie is tweaking the damage for Hand Cannons and Pulse Rifles and reducing how often Heavy ammo spawns.
They’re also making some adjustments to matchmaking and spawns in Crucible. These are small changes, but the bigger Season 23 for Destiny 2 will bring even more PvP updates. Season 23 is bringing a fresh Iron Banner Mode called Tribute, inspired by the current Supremacy mode.
But that’s not all—Legendary Shards are slowly saying their goodbyes and will be gone for good when the Final Shape expansion drops. Also, get ready for Foundry Weapon focus in Season 23, where you can focus on Hakke, Omolon, Veist, and Suros weapons.
Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost 2023 Release Date
The Destiny 2 Halloween 2023 event (Festival of the Lost) is released on October 17, 2023, at various times, including 1 p.m. ET and 10:00 a.m. PT.
Although Bungie hasn’t officially confirmed the start time, it’s based on past schedules and other indicators within the Destiny 2 community. The event is expected to continue until November 7, 2023.

The Tigr Safari quest in Escape from Tarkov is like a treasure hunt. It happens on Customs, which is the second map in the game. Customs has a customs terminal, fuel storage, offices, and dorms, among other things.
Trader Tadeusz Pilsudski, also called Peacekeeper, gives the Tigr Safari quest. To start this quest, you first need to finish the Fishing Gear quest. Here’s everything you need to complete the Tigr Safari quest in Escape from Tarkov.
Tigr Safari Quest Requirements
To undertake the Tigr Safari quest, players need to reach level 10 in the game. The quest is provided by the trader Peacekeeper and takes place on the Customs map. Peacekeeper says, “Russia has kindly provided the UNTAR mission with several Tigr LAVs. Today the mission has virtually collapsed, and the vehicles are left to rot in the rain. I need you to locate those three abandoned armored trucks on Customs and mark them with beacons.”
How to Complete the Tigr Safari Quest in Escape from Tarkov?
Quest Objectives:
Mark the first Tigr vehicle with an MS2000 Marker on Customs
Mark the second Tigr vehicle with an MS2000 Marker on Customs
Mark the third Tigr vehicle with an MS2000 Marker on Customs
Survive and extract from the location

Here’s some simple information about the beacons called MS2000 Markers:
You can get MS2000 Markers from traders Prapor and Ragman.
It’s a good idea to keep MS2000 Markers in special slots or pouches to avoid losing them if your character dies.
Once you use and mark with MS2000 Markers, they disappear from your inventory automatically.
Put the markers on the armored cars. After placing them, you have to stay alive until the timer finishes, or you’ll need to put them again.

Just head to the main area near the Sniper tower and factories in Customs. The first Tigr vehicle is close to the ‘hole in the fence’ by the Sniper factory.
After marking it, turn around and walk straight until you spot the next Tigr vehicle. Be cautious of sniper Scavs in the area. To find the third one, keep running straight past the bus station.
Tigr Safari Quest Rewards
After finishing the Top Secret quest, you get these rewards:
+5,900 EXP
Peacekeeper Rep +0.03

Armored Core 6 just shared the details for update 1.04. Even though the last update (1.03) came out not long ago, the folks at FromSoftware have been busy fixing bugs and making the game better. If you want to keep playing online, make sure to get the latest update.
Armored Core 6 has some problems that need fixing, but lots of fans think it’s one of the best games in the series. It’s been a long time since Armored Core was on consoles, so being able to play it on a modern console makes a lot of gamers happy.
However, even with today’s technology, the game still has some glitches and bugs. The good news is that updates and patches are available to make the gameplay smoother, balance the stats, and make the game more enjoyable for players.
Armored Core 6’s latest update, version 1.04, brings several improvements and fixes. The official Armored Core account tweeted about it.
The main focus of the update is to make the gameplay more stable and fix bugs on all gaming systems. One significant fix is for a bug that caused issues with loading AC Data when using a previously deleted decal. Now, the decal will disappear when loaded.
The update also addresses various problems with weapons, including adjustments to a flamethrower, a coral oscillator, and a coral rifle. Additionally, the update tackles frame rate issues and corrects animations for wrong movements.
The patch has sorted out issues where missions could make the game freeze. With these fixes, players don’t have to be concerned about wasting time anymore.

Fans really get into the game, especially when aiming for Armored Core’s S-Rank. Fixing a potential problem for achieving that rank should bring a lot of joy to players, considering the hard work and time it takes to reach a good mission rank.
While there might still be some problems with the game, some could be on purpose, like Armored Core’s tricky controls. But FromSoftware is working hard to make the game smoother and more fun for players. The competitive aspect of Armored Core 6 could make it last longer, so the developers should focus on fixing any bugs they find.
Fixed a bug that was preventing AC Data from being loaded when it was using a decal whose image had been deleted from the game server *Note: now when loading such AC Data, the corresponding decal will be removed
Fixed a bug with FLAMETHROWER “WB-0000 BAD COOK” when equipped to the right hand, where firing the weapon while hovering with Tetrapod legs temporarily disabled effects and hit-boxes
Fixed a bug with CORAL OSCILLATOR “IB-CO3W2: WLT 101” where charged attacks had less range when certain parts were equipped
Fixed a bug with CORAL RIFLE “IB-C03W1: WLT 011” where fully charged attacks would cancel if the attack button was held continuously
Mitigated issues where frame rate changes would affect the player AC’s firing accuracy and the rapid-fire performance of some weapons
Fixed a bug where using a weapon immediately after switching to it with Weapon Bay caused attack animations and weapon animations to play incorrectly
Fixed a bug with online matches where an opponent AC would not render if decals were applied to it
Fixed a bug in the mission “Escape” where some events failed to trigger under certain circumstances
Fixed a bug in the mission “Ocean Crossing” where the player could get soft-locked under certain circumstances
Made corrections to the REPLAY MISSION tutorial text, which did not sufficiently explain the actual conditions for achieving an S-Rank rating
The text now reads as follows:
“To achieve an S-Rank rating, you must complete the mission without retrying from a checkpoint while also destroying a large number of enemy targets and minimizing incoming damage, time taken, and ammunition consumed.”
Fixed a bug where the game would fail to load after selecting CONTINUE from the Title Screen under certain circumstances
Fixed a bug where the game would crash after changing parts in the ASSEMBLY menu during AC TEST
Other bug fixes and performance improvements
【Steam】
Changed Title Screen behavior so that control guide device settings do not change according to the device used to “PRESS ANY BUTTON”

It’s that special time when Activision lets players try out a new Call of Duty game before it officially comes out. This year, they’re doing it for Modern Warfare 3. If you play on a PC, you can start trying it out on October 12. For everyone else, the Open Beta for all platforms begins on October 14.
Thinking about trying out the MW3 beta? It’s a good idea to check it out and see what’s in store before the official game release on November 10. Now, let’s talk about whether you can play the beta for free.
Is Modern Warfare 3 Open Beta Free to Play?
In the second week of the MW3 beta, it’s free for you to play as an open beta. For Xbox and PC users, you can enjoy the game early with Early Access.

The MW3 crossplay beta early access starts on Thursday, October 12, and ends on Friday, October 13. After that, everyone on eligible platforms can freely play MW3 during the open beta from Saturday, October 14, until it finishes on Monday, October 16.
What’s in the Modern Warfare 3 Beta?
The beta version has Favela, Skidrow, Estate, and Rust maps. It includes Ground War mode with the Popov Power map. Cutthroat mode is added for Weekend 2. You can play Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, and Ground War modes in the beta. Orlov Military Base is added for Weekend 2 in Ground War.
According to Playstation Game Size, the beta pack for PlayStation 5 is about 24.813 GB. The size may change for Xbox or PC, but it’s generally around 24-25 GB on all platforms. To play the beta, you’ll also need to download the Call of Duty HQ app, which adds about 100 GB to the total size.
If you want to skip the big CoD HQ download, you can get the beta through MW2, but you’ll need about 81 GB of space if you already have it installed.
Activision hasn’t given all the details about what your PC needs to run Modern Warfare 3, but it’s probably a good idea to have around 100 GB or even more space on your computer.
As time goes on and Modern Warfare 3 gets more updates and features added, the game might need even more space. So, it’s smart to have a bit extra space on your PC. We don’t know the exact size of MW3 yet.

Mortal Kombat 1 DLC
Nintendo Switch just got even cooler with new content for Mortal Kombat 1! Even though the game just came out in September, there’s already DLC on the way. The Kombat Pack is like a bonus pack with six fighters.
Three of them are classic Mortal Kombat characters—Ermac, Quan-Chi, and Takeda—and the other three are from different worlds—Peacemaker, Omni-Man, and Homelander. It’s a good fit since they all love some action.
Peacemaker will be voiced by John Cena, doing his thing from The Suicide Squad and the Peacemaker TV series. Omni-Man will be voiced by J.K. Simmons, the bad guy from Invincible. We’re not sure about Homelander’s voice yet, but fingers crossed for Antony Starr from The Boys series.
The Kombat Pack also throws in some Kameo fighters—Ferra, Johnny Cage, Khameleon, Mavado, and Tremor. So, if you’re into Mortal Kombat on Nintendo Switch, this extra content might make you want more.

There’s a leak about a new Genshin Impact character called Clorinde. She’s shown up in the story a few times already. The Fontaine region has introduced many new characters, and most of them are likely to become playable soon.
Genshin Impact has included four characters from the Fontaine region. The newest one is Neuvillette, which uses a Hydro catalyst. If you want the Chief Justice of Fontaine on your team, you need to act fast because his banner is set to end on October 17.
Image Source HoYoverse
A recent post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit shared more info about a new character named Clorinde, first seen in the Fontaine teaser. In the teaser, she caught everyone’s attention by wielding a gun, creating excitement in the community.
The leaks suggest that Clorinde will be a powerful five-star character, serving as the main DPS in Genshin Impact. However, it’s essential to be cautious about these leaks, as Clorinde’s release date is likely several months in the future.
Even though Clorinde has appeared a few times in the Fontaine story, we don’t know much about her. Neuvillette did mention that she’s part of the Champion Duelists, a group of really good fighters. In Fontaine, if someone’s in trouble, they can request a trial by combat and go up against one of these skilled duelists for defense.
The Chief Justice said Clorinde is the best fighter in the group, so in the next Genshin Impact update, she might have powerful DPS abilities. We don’t know when she’ll be released, but it seems likely she won’t be in a special banner in version 4.2.
The Developer HoYoverse has set aside this update for two more characters, Furina and Charlotte. Some fans in the comments are unsure whether to summon Furina or save their Primogems for upcoming characters like Clorinde. There’s a possibility that Clorinde might be introduced in the same update as the new Geo user, Navia.

Genshin Impact just announced the four-star characters for the second part of version 4.1. The game updates regularly, and each update has two cycles with different special characters and weapons.
The latest update brought a new character to Genshin Impact, Neuvillette. She came with Hu Tao in her third appearance. Neuvillette is a key character in the Fontaine region and is said to be really powerful, possibly even stronger than the Hydro Archon.
In Genshin Impact, there are two kinds of characters you can play: five-star and four-star. Five-star characters are super strong, but they’re tough to get because you need to make 90 wishes to guarantee getting one.
Four-star characters are easier to get, but there are three different ones you could get when you make 10 wishes. The next 4.1 update will have a banner featuring Wriothesley, Venti, Thoma, Chongyun, and Dori, as confirmed by the game’s official Twitter account.
Dear Travelers, the event wishes “Tempestuous Destiny,” “Ballad in Goblets,” and “Epitome Invocation” will be available October 17!
Wriothesley is the only new character in the second banner phase, and he’s a five-star rarity. People are really excited about him because he’s the first catalyst user with a Cryo Vision.
This lets Wriothesley deal Cryo elemental damage with his Normal Attacks all the time. Players will likely need to try out different team setups to find the best party for this new Genshin Impact DPS character.
Image Source HoYoverse
Earlier game information showed that Wriothesley does great in teams that focus on Melt and Frozen reactions in Genshin Impact. Many players think Venti, the Anemo Archon, is one of the top Anemo supports in the game, along with Kaedehara Kazuha.
Venti is awesome in Genshin Impact because he fits well in almost any team, thanks to his Anemo abilities that don’t mess up the main party reactions. Also, he’s super friendly for free-to-play players since you don’t have to spend too many resources to make him strong.

He adds, “So, I’ve been told that somewhere on Reserve there is some underground exit, which is activated from somewhere else, but from where exactly – hell knows. Anyhow, It would be great if you sniffed that place out. The base is quite a hell hole as you know, and I am willing to pay generously for any information on how to get out of there safely. I want to send people there to gather military equipment, but I’m afraid they’ll just get killed if they don’t find that secret exit.”
How to Complete the Back Door Quest in Escape from Tarkov?
The primary objectives of the Back Door quest are straightforward:

New info about Honkai: Star Rail leaked on Argenti, showcasing his abilities and fighting moves. Argenti is a top-tier five-star physical character linked to the Erudition path, suggesting he’s great as the main damage dealer.
Early leaks suggest he boosts the whole team’s damage and adapts well to any battle. But, like all heavy hitters, he might need support to recharge energy for using skills non-stop. So, teaming up Argenti with a support unit could make him even more formidable.
Argenti is coming to Honkai: Star Rail version 1.5 later this year, bringing lots of new content for players. There will be new gacha banners like Hanya and Huohuo, and players can join three events to get awesome rewards.
Image Source HoYoverse
In version 1.5, they’re adding new dungeons to the Stagnant Shadow and the Cavern of Corrosion with tough enemies. By defeating these enemies, players can get ascension materials and relics to level up their units. The release date for version 1.5 hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s likely to come out around November 15.
New leaks about Argenti in Recent Honkai: Star Rail from HoneyHunter and Dim have revealed his abilities. Argenti focuses on regenerating energy and dealing damage to one enemy at a time. His regular attack deals Physical damage to a single foe, and his skill does the same but to all enemies.
Argenti’s ultimate is super strong, using 90 energy to hit multiple targets with Physical damage equal to 170% of his attack. He restores three energy, gives Argenti an Ascend stack, and bumps up his CRIT rate by 2.5% after using any skill.
Argenti’s fighting animations were accidentally leaked, and it looks awesome. He charges ahead to attack with his red spear, and his special move is really cool. He jumps up and brings down huge vines by hitting the ground.
He’s dressed like a knight, wearing a mix of a coat and metal plates. If you look at his design and body shape, he’s kind of similar to Gepard and Luocha from Honkai: Star Rail.
In the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail version 1.5, two new characters, Huohuo and Hanya, will be introduced. They come with special abilities, outfits, and fighting moves.

Lords Of The Fallen Gameplay
In Lords of the Fallen, the coolest thing is that you can move between two different worlds: Axiom (the world of the living) and Umbral (the world of the dead). To switch between them, you have to give up one of your lives. If you get defeated by an enemy in Axiom, you come back to life in the same spot but in Umbral.

In the extended gameplay trailer showing how the game is played, they show us a special lamp called the Umbral Lamp. This lamp helps us move between the bright and dark parts of the game so we can change our surroundings and explore better. It’s also useful in fights. But be careful! If you stay too long in the dark area, more enemies will come after you.
You can play alone or join a friend for an online co-op adventure in the single-player campaign. This is a new feature not found in the 2014 game and missing in many other games like Souls.
Lords Of The Fallen Story
Lords of the Fallen starts a thousand years after beating the demon God, Adyr. But, Gods can come back, and Adyr is set to return. As a Dark Crusader, you need to travel through both the living and dead realms to defeat him once and for all.
During Gamescom, a new story trailer was revealed. It begins with the Dark Crusader meeting his end, including losing his head to the Lightreaper—a tough boss in the game. The trailer also features the Demon God sharing his reasons for wanting to control humanity in a spooky voiceover.
Image Source CI Games
We get to see some scary enemies in action in the Lords of the Fallen’s rogues’ gallery. They’re fighting the Dark Crusader in intense battles. We also meet Sophesia and Byron, two characters we might bump into on our journey.
The trailer ends with a glimpse at a Lovecraftian nightmare with lots of teeth, eyeballs, and maybe even portals to other dimensions in Umbral.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a first-person shooter video game in Activision’s main series. It’s the first big game that works on both the older PS3 and the newer PS4. This game is a big deal because it helps connect the two generations of consoles.
It’s also a brave move for Infinity Ward because they’re trying something new after sticking with the Modern Warfare games for a long time. The fish AI demo for Call of Duty: Ghosts didn’t excite fans, especially since it followed the popular Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
This marked the end of the golden age for the series, which had seen success from 2007 to 2012. Unfortunately, Ghosts wasn’t as successful and started a tough period for the Call of Duty series. The game had issues in different modes, and these problems contributed to the fact that it never got a sequel.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Campaign Falls Short
The Call of Duty: Ghosts game had some problems in its different modes, especially in the campaign. Firstly, the creators had the tough job of making players interested in a whole new world and characters because people loved Modern Warfare and characters like Captain Price.
It was tricky since the Ghosts group in the game had nothing to do with Modern Warfare 2’s Simon Riley, except for a dog named after him. Also, the main character, Logan, who didn’t talk much, was challenging for players to relate to.

The Ghosts’ voices sounded a bit robotic, and the story was expected. The campaign didn’t measure up to the cool single-player mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. In Black Ops 2, you could make choices that affected who lived or died, and the story could change a lot.
There were even different endings and extra missions to spice things up. But in Call of Duty: Ghosts, they played it safe and stuck to the usual campaign style, missing out on the innovation.
The ending of Call of Duty: Ghosts had a problem because Infinity Ward wanted to make a new series. They left fans hanging with a confusing cliffhanger. Even though Rorke got shot up close, he somehow survived. He captured Logan to brainwash him into becoming a Ghost Killer.
If there was a sequel, it might have been about Logan and his brother Hesh fighting each other. But the idea of Rorke surviving and Logan turning against his family seemed unrealistic. The cliffhanger felt like they were trying too hard, and fans may never know what happened next.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Had Big Issues
Although Call of Duty has had awesome campaigns, the multiplayer is the most crucial part. Sadly, in Call of Duty: Ghosts, the multiplayer had some big issues. Most maps were not great—too big and weak. This is bad for a Call of Duty game.
Take Stonehaven, for instance. It was a huge map that felt scattered, not following the usual three-lane style. It felt like a massive space where players just wandered around without a clear focus.
Call of Duty: Ghosts had some problems in its multiplayer. One issue was with the UAVs, called SAT COMs, in the game. These were devices that showed enemy locations, but they were easy to destroy.
To make matters worse, you needed to place several SAT COMs at once for them to work well. Using just one didn’t help much, making the whole thing more complicated than it needed to be for a classic Call of Duty feature.
Then there’s this thing called Field Orders in Call of Duty: Ghosts—kind of a weird move. Even if you’re just an okay player, you could get big game-changing stuff like the KEM strike by doing simple stuff like teabagging a downed enemy.
Some rewards were just plain silly, like turning into Michael Myers or the Predator. And you know, some players don’t like too much goofiness in a serious military game.
So, this extreme goofiness didn’t sit well with everyone. And there were other issues, too. Some weapons, like the Honey Badger, were too strong, and the colors in the game were mostly gray, which made it feel like it didn’t have much personality.
Then there were these things called Field Orders, a weird system that gave even the regular players game-changing streaks like the KEM strike just for doing basic stuff like teabagging a fallen enemy. Some rewards were kinda silly, like turning into Michael Myers or the Predator.
Now, some players aren’t fans of super bright outfits in a military game, so you can imagine how this extra goofiness didn’t sit well with everyone. Plus, there were problems like weapons being too strong, like the Honey Badger, and the whole game had this overly gray look that made it feel kinda bland and lacking in personality.
Why Call of Duty: Ghosts Extinction Mode Wasn’t a Hit?
Call of Duty: Ghosts tried something new with Extinction mode, where players teamed up to fight aliens called Cryptids. Some players remember it fondly, but it didn’t become as popular. Unlike the round-based style of Call of Duty Zombies, Extinction had linear missions, which might be one reason why it didn’t become a hit.
Call of Duty: Ghosts came out after Black Ops 2 and had to measure up to its popular Zombies mode, known as one of the series’ best. Ghosts had a bumpy start but later introduced beloved maps like TranZit, Mob of the Dead, Buried, and Origins, making its DLC season impressive.
Even though Infinity Ward and non-Treyarch Zombies modes made Ghosts usually not do well, Extinction, which played more like Zombies, could have been more successful.
Unfortunately, it faced challenges by being released at the wrong time. It couldn’t keep a large audience despite being a solid and replayable model with its Teeth system and different classes.
Call of Duty: Ghosts had problems in all three modes – Extinction, multiplayer, and campaign. Some people liked it and feel nostalgic, but it wasn’t as good as other Call of Duty games like Modern Warfare and Black Ops. Ghosts didn’t get a sequel because it wasn’t as successful.

A Fortnite leak suggests the old Chapter 1 map might make a comeback in Chapter 4 Season 5. Epic Games always keeps Fortnite fresh by adding new content and tweaking the map each season. But soon, it looks like they might bring back the original map.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is now in its Halloween-themed Fortnitemares phase. This special event features Halloween elements, including skins inspired by Jack Skellington and Michael Myers.

Leaks about Fortnite, which have been happening since the game was released, revealed these spooky skins before Fortnitemares 2023 began. Other leaks are also surfacing, and a reliable Fortnite leaker hints that the next season’s map might be an alternative version of the Chapter 1 island.
A Fortnite insider named HypeX shared some scoop about the upcoming season on their Twitter. While HypeX doesn’t always get the timing right, they often leak content that Epic Games ends up adding. In the past, HypeX accurately predicted changes to the Fortnite map.
CHAPTER 1’s RETURN ‼️
A reliable source claimed a day before S4 that Chapter 1 returns in S5 due to the time machine breaking, and that we’ll cycle through ch1 seasons for a month with constant map changes and OG weapons / loot pool, until the blackhole, and then we go into… pic.twitter.com/zFfCUhEh92
Now, they’re saying that in Chapter 4 Season 5, players will travel back to the old Chapter 1 map using an in-game time machine. According to the leak, players will start at an early stage of the Chapter 1 map and see it evolve to later stages throughout the season.
HypeX mentioned that the Chapter 1 map is making a comeback in Fortnite. However, it’s unclear if it’s the very first map or a later version. The Chapter 1 map had places like Anarchy Acres, Dusty Divot, and Loot Lake. HypeX leaked images focusing on Loot Lake, hinting that this location might return in the upcoming season.
HypeX also shared items from Chapter 1 Season 5 scattered on the current island, supporting their claims. Since Fortnite often has unique themes for each season, like the current heist theme, Season 5 might bring back more than just the old settings.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 is starting in early November. Fans are eager to find out if the leaked information is true. Remember, since it’s not an official announcement from Fortnite, take everything from HypeX with a bit of caution.

In this recent set of game consoles, Microsoft did something special by launching two Xbox versions, where one costs almost half as much as the other. They released the $300 disc-free Xbox Series S and the $500 Xbox Series X in 2020. Now, three years later, they’ve introduced a new Series S with a significant improvement and a slightly higher price.
The new Xbox Series S 1TB was released on September 1 for $350, a bit higher than the $300 original Series S. You can still buy the original one, and sometimes it goes on sale for $250. The new version has twice as much storage as the original and is matte black instead of white. Other than that, both versions are the same.

Who is the Xbox Series S for?
When the Xbox Series S was introduced, it was aimed at people looking for an affordable option. This was for those who didn’t need a super powerful console and weren’t planning to buy many games that would use up a lot of storage.
It seems like this approach worked well because a leaked presentation from last year revealed that the Series S sold almost twice as much as the Series X. Since 2020, there have been two big changes to the Xbox Series game consoles.
First, the price of extra storage cards has gone down. Both the S and X consoles have slots where you can add a card to double the storage, and it works really well.
When the consoles first came out, these extra storage cards were super expensive – $150 for a 512GB card! But now, the same card only costs $80, and it’s super easy to plug in. If you already have the Series S, instead of spending another $350 on a new console, you can pay $80 to double the storage to 1TB.
The second thing is the expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming, even though it’s still in testing. People who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can play over 100 games on their console without using up space. But recently, there have been long waits, making it hard for gamers to play whenever they want.
Ideal Buyer for the Xbox Series S 1TB
It’s for someone who’s okay with lower resolution, doesn’t want to shell out $500 for a gaming console, and likes the idea of not worrying about storage space or having to delete old games on their Xbox Series S.

A new report gives us important details about Grand Theft Auto 6 and the upgrades to Rockstar Games’ RAGE Engine. The engine is getting better with improved weather and physics.
This means the game could offer a much cooler experience for players. The report also hints at other improvements, like better physics, more realistic weather, and upgrades to artificial intelligence in the upcoming RAGE Engine version.
Fans have been waiting a really long time for Grand Theft Auto 6, much longer than usual. It’s been over ten years since the last game, Grand Theft Auto 5. Even though they announced the new game last year, the creators haven’t shared much about it.
But, despite the official hush-hush, there are some leaks giving fans sneak peeks and hints about what’s coming in Grand Theft Auto 6.
They’re making big improvements in how cars move, using more detailed shapes than in Grand Theft Auto 5. This means that in the new game, crashes will look more realistic, with better details of how the cars get damaged.
In the next Grand Theft Auto game, they’re planning big improvements in how water behaves and how light looks. These changes will come together to create a detailed weather system that affects the game world in different ways.
When there’s a storm, driving will be harder, and strong winds can mess up plants and make big waves on the beaches. Rain and wind will make it trickier to drive fast, and the way the sun rises, sets, and nighttime looks will be more realistic, making the game feel even more real and exciting.
Fans are really excited about Grand Theft Auto 6, but we’re still waiting for an official trailer and release date. Take-Two Interactive hinted in August that the game might come out in the next 20 months, making fans even more eager.
There’s also a rumor going around that the game could cost $150, which is more than most other games. We’ll have to wait and see how it compares to the earlier ones.
