You can find information on animal locations and how to ride animals in Fortnite below, including some handy information on how to control your new best friend. On this page: Animal locations in Fortnite You’ll first have to find an animal in Fortnite before you can ride it....
Be prepared for a lot of installing, however, via a somewhat torturous procedure. That starts with an unusual workaround to get the RetroArch emulation system installed on Xbox, which in turn runs DOSBox Pure. I used this video guide to get going, without the need for developer mode. Once you have DOSBox Pure running on your Xbox console, you also need to - get this - install Windows 98 itself....
Over the past few days I’ve been playing Apex on my Switch, primarily docked using Joy-Cons, and I’ve spent most of it wishing I was playing on any other platform. For me, the main problem is the visuals - everything feels incredibly blurry, ranging from skin textures to enemy outlines. On Switch, Apex officially targets a resolution of 720p in docked and 576p in handheld, with a frame-rate of 30FPS in both....
Bromander guested on the podcast Visionaries to discuss Among Us’ rise in popularity, the impact it had on Innersloth, and what the company’s next plans are. Among Us first released in 2018 but didn’t see mainstream popularity until 2020. During that time, Bromander stated that he, along with fellow co-founder Forrest Willard and mutual friend Amy Liu, were working full-time on Among Us. The small sales numbers for the game meant it was not profitable....
Qute may not court the attention from the mainstream that genre heavyweights Cave and Treasure so capably attract, but its creations are celebrated by genre devotees, and include some very sought after shmup collectibles. Yet behind all their cult status, Qute’s library of releases remain relatively accessible in terms of their game and scoring systems, and are increasingly more available in the West. In fact, the team are still at it, having just taken their latest title Natsuki Chronicles to the PlayStation 4 and PC on these shores....
As PCGamesN reported over the weekend, the Deathstroke character has a symbol on his sword that appears to be a Halo emblem. The symbol was spotted on Deathstroke’s costume by actor Geoff Reeves, who visited the #SnyderCut Exhibit in Dallas, Texas recently. At the time, this symbol was taken to refer to the famous Batman villain, Ra’s Al Ghul. This “Easter egg” was then backed up by Joe Manganiello, the actor who plays Deathstroke in Zack Snyder’s Justice League....
Pietro Ubaldi, the voice of Daruk in the original game, was interviewed by fan site Lega Hyrule (via Resetera) and dropped a little nugget of information. Spoilers follow. Ubaldi has recently been recording voice lines for Nintendo’s new game and it turns out he’s not only dubbing the voice for Daruk, but also Daruk’s ancestor. But Daruk, the Goron champion, ends Breath of the Wild in the afterlife; and who exactly this ancestor is is unclear....
“The family-friendly digital experience will give kids access to tools that will empower them to become confident creators and deliver amazing play opportunities in a safe and positive space,” the pair announced in a joint statement today. Details are thin on the ground, but it feels like a major commitment for Lego’s digital future, and a huge win for Epic Games to be entrusted with the notoriously child-safe brand. What will Epic’s Lego game be like?...
As spotted by PC Gamer, the latest release of the fan-favourite series - despite sitting on an overall aggregated score of “Very Positive” reviews - has recently been hammered by negative reviews almost exclusively written in Chinese because of the title’s in-game Treasures of Tibet store, which flies the Tibetan flag. “Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Tibet have been Chinese territories since ancient times. No matter how the obsolete think, they will eventually return to the mainland,” says one such negative review, as translated by PC Gamer....
With Life Is Strange now available on mobile, there’s no excuse to play one of 2015’s best releases. And for the Trophy hunters out there, it’s a straightforward and satisfying Platinum; complete the story however you see fit, and as long as you find the 10 photos per chapter at some point, it’s yours. On this page: Though the game has choices that impact the story, a dedicated ‘collectible mode’ allows you to go back to previous areas without changing your decisions....
Details for Housemarque’s BAFTA winning sci-fi roguelike have been spotted on SteamDB, including references to its Tower of Sisyphus DLC, Selene’s ship Helios, and the alien planet of Atropos. Returnal would follow the likes of God of War earlier this year, as well as Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn as previous console exclusives arriving on PC. Indeed, as stated in yesterday’s investors presentation by exec Jim Ryan, Sony expects to make $300m on PC games this year....

Alongside the Arcanist, July’s update (officially titled Spells in Spades) introduces a new ultra-tough Inferno difficulty version of the Valtan Legion raid - which requires item level 1445 to participate in - plus tougher Challenge Abyssal Dungeons. This twist on standard Abyssal Dungeons is a weekly activity that, like the updated Valtan Legion raid, will feature its own increased rewards for players able to overcome its challenges. It’s undoubtedly the Arcanist that’s taking centre-stage though, and she joins the Bard and Sorceress as Lost Ark’s third available Mage Advanced Class....
The brainchild of the UK-based startup Joipaw, the Joipaw Console will come with a “dog-tailored touchscreen, a height-adjustable stand and an automated treat dispenser.” It will run interactive puzzle games, such as a whack-a-mole challenge, that are “constantly new and challenging” for man’s best friend (thanks, Axios). “Add speakers, a microphone and a Full HD camera, and you have the smartest dog tech product to ever hit the market,” Joipaw proclaims on the console’s reservation page....
In case it somehow wasn’t immediately obvious, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the Miles-Morales-starring follow-up to Insomniac’s original Marvel’s Spider-Man, taking the first game’s acclaimed web-swinging open-world action and infusing it with a new hero and a bit of snowy, seasonal jollity thanks to its year-end setting. “Insomniac’s second crack at Spider-Man retains the breathless energy of the original,” said Eurogamer’s Martin Robinson in his Recommended review, “but ends up a lot like Miles Morales himself - still fresh on its feet, a little awkward in places, but steadily growing into itself....
Announced as part of this year’s E3 Nintendo Direct, the 2D adventure marks the fifth mainline entry in the Metroid series. Following on after the events of Metroid Fusion, Samus is up to her usual shenanigans descending onto an unknown planet to investigate a mysterious transmission. Naturally, the place is full of dangerous alien lifeforms, mechanical adversaries and a series of locations she can only explore with the right tools....
As reported by IGN, in the sixth part of Power On: The Story of Xbox - a six-part documentary detailing Microsoft’s highs and lows across its Xbox brand - key figures talked about the acquisition and eventual closure of one of the UK’s biggest studios in a bid to “not repeat” the “same mistakes”. Lionhead was co-founded in 1997 by Peter Molyneux, Mark Webley, Tim Rance and Steve Jackson, but it was conceived earlier, while Molyneux was at Bullfrog, the ground-breaking PC game maker of Populous, Syndicate and Dungeon Keeper....
That’s based on a listing for the Windows Subsystem for Android app (thanks, XDA) on the Windows 11 Microsoft Store. In its System Requirements, the app is listed as available for Windows and Xbox One. Microsoft has not confirmed that Android app support is coming to Xbox, and this app is currently designed only for internal testing purposes. There is no guarantee it will ever be released to the public....
The Arms fighter will arrive in statuesque form on 29th April, Nintendo confirmed today. Sadly, the Steve and Alex from Minecraft Smash Bros amiibo have both been delayed until “later in 2022”. Both were previously set to launch at some point during this spring. Min Min was added as a playable fighter to Smash Bros Ultimate in the sixth challenger pack in June 2020. She’s originally from Nintendo’s underappreciated springy arm fighter Arms....
Previous reveals have confirmed the likes of a new, more challenging Master Rank, new monsters, a new area in the form of The Citadel - which promises diverse biomes, including lush forests, icy mountains, and foggy swampland, with a huge ruined castle as its centrepiece - and a new hub area in the bustling port town of Elgado Outpost. That, though, isn’t the end of the additions arriving in Monster Hunter Rise’s “massive” Sunbreak expansion....
