On PS4, pre-loading the Destiny 2 beta will take up 15GB of storage, according to GameSpot. Do that and Bungie should send you an actual download code when the time is right. If you pre-ordered Destiny 2 on PS4, you can start playing at 6 PM BST / 10 am PDT on Tuesday, July 18. What about the Destiny 2 PC beta? Bungie says the Destiny 2 PC beta (including early access for pre-orders) will begin in late August.

Along with custom Gamerpics, the update adds co-op streaming, controller sign-in, and expanded options with the Xbox app on iOS and Android – all additions that Microsoft says are based on fan feedback. Just go to the player profile belonging to the person you want to stream with and select “Invite to co-stream.” Well good news, you’ll be able to assign that controller to your profile, so that every time you turn it on, you’re instantly signed in. Go to your console’s settings menu, choose “Sign

“Lake” is a simple recolor of Doomfist’s original costume. There are going to be more of these in the list ahead, but this one is particularly egregious because the gray sweatpants make Doomfist look like he just got out of bed. “Daisy” is a recolor that only changes out a few tones while keeping most of Doomfist’s costume the same, but what a shift it is. Red, white, blue… we salute the ‘fist. I really love the curves thrown in to add some dimension to Doomfist’s metal torso here, and it defini

The Castlevania series has always been known for portraying a sickly gothic take on fantasy, albeit with a few nonsensical lore elements you’d only find in a video game. Just a reminder, we’re still talking about a Castlevania TV show here. The Castlevania games have always been primarily a solo venture, making a point of placing you amidst the isolation of an unknown and unsettlingly ever-changing landscape. It’s by no means perfect or even fully-formed, but Netflix’s latest original venture ha

GT Sport’s release date has finally been confirmed: the next game in Sony’s flagship racing series will punch the gas and roar into your PS4’s Blu-ray drive (or hard drive, if you prefer downloads) on October 18 in the UK and across Europe. It’ll hit North America the day before, October 17. The high-end competition-focused racing sim will arrive with three editions spread across a handful of retailers: the grand Collector’s Edition is available on Amazon, GAME, and ShopTo; the SteelBook edition

Game of Thrones season 7 is here, and everyone is talking about it. If you’re looking to go beyond the show and learn some genuine, solid-gold facts about Game of Thrones, I’ve got you covered. George RR Martin cameoThe original, unseen pilot for Game of Thrones featured a cameo from George RR Martin as a Pentoshi nobleman. He has never appeared in the HBO show since, although hasn’t ruled out some screen time in the final season. Blame the pilotI’ve alluded to this previously, but the original

According to one games industry analyst, PlayStation 5 may be closer than you expect. Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities told GamingBolt that he expects PS5 to arrive sometime in 2019 or 2020 – “but probably 2019” – and that it will likely feel like another half-step forward after the half-step that was PS4 Pro. So I think they will build a console that will backwards compatible with the PS4 Pro. The new console will arrive when about half of the US market is using 4K TVs, Pachter believes. I

Hellblade’s protagonist, Senua, is journeying through ‘Hel’, but she (and you) will experience the world through the lens of her psychosis. PF: A lot of things really. OPM: How does the idea that we’re closer to psychosis than we’d like to think translate into a video game? TA: When you’re playing the game there’s two things that we do that films rarely do. It’s just put a lot of pieces together for me, so, yeah, that goes well beyond Hellblade.

Your breath has probably turned cold after waiting so darn long but, yep, the Game of Thrones season 7 premiere is so close we can almost touch it. Unfortunately, D(aenerys)-Day isn’t here just yet, so you’ll have to make do with these 8 photos which reveal who is and, let’s face it, probably isn’t in the opening episode. Mild spoilers follow…You don’t want to hear me ramble on any longer, you want pictures, dammit, so pictures you shall get. The lowkey MVP of Game of Thrones season 6, Lyanna Mo

Game of Thrones season 7 is already going above and beyond but Kit Harington is on a whole other level. Jon Snow himself has pulled out all the stops to avoid spoilers being leaked for the penultimate season in Westeros – and that includes filming hours and hours of fake scenes. We put together people in situations where we knew the paparazzi were around so they’d take photos and that would get on the internet to fake scenes so people would think they were real.” Harington revealed that, on his

Annapurna Interactive has announced that What Remains of Edith Finch will be releasing on Xbox One on July 19. It’s one of the best games of the year, with more creativity and ideas than several other games combined so great news for Xbox owners. Just to underline that point, here’s an Xbox announcement trailer full of people saying how good it is. That creativity, combined with some lovely storytelling and poignant moments mean, if you own an Xbox this should go straight to the top of your list

Remember those mysterious cassette tapes that No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games sent to community leaders back in June? After poring over the tapes, posters, and other materials sent out by Hello Games, the NMS community seems to have reached the home stretch of this ARG. After registering with a website operating under the codename “Walking Titan,” fans were lead to a livestream video which, among other things, promises 10,000 applicants will be invited to check out the next step for No Man’s

On July 22, players from around the world will gather in Grant Park to learn more about the future of the game and participate in special challenges. Here’s how it works: during Pokemon Go Fest, players in Chicago will have three “Challenge Windows” (11am – 11:30am, 12pm – 12:30pm, and 3pm – 3:30pm, all Central timezone) to catch Pokemon, with each type corresponding to a different bonus. And if the worldwide Pokemon Go community catches enough Pokemon during these Challenge Windows, Niantic wil

Then you should shamble on over to the Humble Bundle, where the latest name-your-own-price package deal is filled with undead-slaying games (and some other bonuses) from Capcom. It’s called the Capcom Rising Bundle, though it actually has one more Resident Evil game than Dead Rising if you pay for the whole set. Honestly, the bundle is worth it just for the Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 HD Remasters alone. $1 or more tierStrider (2014)Umbrella CorpsDmC: Devil May CryBeat the average (current

Ron Howard, the freshly-appointed director of the Han Solo movie, isn’t wasting any time getting down to business. And by “business” I mean “teasing fans with a look behind the scenes.” This week, Howard tweeted out a closet rack full of colorful costumes, asking fans if they could guess who they belong to. It’s possible that because the costumes seem to be so obviously tied to Lando that Howard is using our presumptions to throw a curveball. Not everyone is thrilled about the director shakeup,

The response to the announcement of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle – complete with cartoon mascots and combat Mario – was one of confusion and gentle hostility. It prompted the standard cries of ‘why is Nintendo working on this instead of [insert favourite unmade Nintendo game]?’ It’s lovely to report, then, that those suspicions are brilliantly unfounded. It’s not just that this isn’t a Nintendo game – it’s actually a Ubisoft game in exuberant dungarees – but that it’s a wonderful, sharply surp

No origin story in Spider-Man: Homecoming, then. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter Parker is simply Spider-Man. He’s crap at understanding his limitations, and forgets that he can’t very well be Spider-Man when there are no tall buildings or ceilings to use. He’s crap at using his new suit, really crap at interrogating people, and most importantly of all, crap at realising that he’s crap. There’s Peter’s mission to intercept the would-be hijack of a truck full of Chitauri technology.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild may not support the level of mod creativity that games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 do, but that hasn’t stopped folks from using in-game tools and mechanics to come up with unique creations and tricks. Bringing Mario Kart to HyruleConsidering just how large the map in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is, why not cruise around Hyrule in style? Shield jumping gives Link a double jump, while the use of the Remote Bomb gives Link an added boost. YouTuber Adryl

Ant-Man isn’t coming alone in the sequel to the 2015 movie. Sure, the title Ant-Man and The Wasp does give the game away, but Wasp actress Evangeline Lilly has just confirmed the very first official shot of her character in costume. First look at Hope Van Dyne as The Wasp! After a muted effort in the original movie, it sure is nice to see Hope Van Dyne spread her wings and let loose. And for those of you in need of a ridiculously unreliable narrator, Michael Peña is back as Luis.

The MCU timeline can be a confusing mess of battles, betrayals and basically everything else. Heck, even Spider-Man: Homecoming is a little bit sketchy on exactly when it takes place, unless you want to dig into it. If you’re on Marvel’s books, though, (like Homecoming director Jon Watts) you get access to the document detailing everything in the MCU and, yes, it’s a giant scroll. One of my producers, Eric Carroll, it was his first job at Marvel to work on this timeline and to see where things l
