How to Enable Crossplay in Overwatch? Overwatch Crossplay Beta is available right now with the new Battle.net update, since June 8th, 2021. Table of Contents Console players need to create a battlenet account and link it with their Xbox, PSN, or Nintendo accounts. PC players already have a Battle.net account so they can skip this step.

Team Canada may be without one its more outspoken teammates for the Overwatch World Cup, which will take place next month. This past Sunday, former professional Overwatch League player and Ex-Dallas Fuel team member, Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, was handed a 15-day suspension from Overwatch for repeatedly reporting for being abusive in in-game chat. This isn’t the first time that Lengyel has received disciplinary action for inappropriate conduct. He was actually dropped from the Dallas Fuel team, following repeated conduct violations....

The gaming world is packed with battle royale games so how will the iconic Pac Man stay behind? Pac-Man 99 has released on Nintendo Switch and you can join your friends to enjoy it together. As its name suggests, you play with up to 99 players and it still follows the original “maze chase” format. Of course, you need to be a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber to play online but you need something else too....

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels ends with the same lines in which it began: “There will come a time when the world is ready for me, when nation will battle nation, when race will devour race, when brother will kill brother until not a soul is left. Are you ready?” Only this time, Magda (Natalie Dormer) isn’t saying it to her sister, Santa Muerte (Lorenza Izzo). She is saying it to one of two brothers who are now on very different sides of a struggle they were both born to....

Persona 5 has been revolutionary for the JRPG world. The Persona games introduce us to the real world, providing a social simulation element of the games, and a fantasy realm with turn-based combat called the Metaverse. The clashing elements provide a ton of different gameplay styles all in the same game which mean that there’s something for everything — and the protagonist is interesting too. Although you can choose his name, he generally has to be referred to as Joker since that’s his alias in the Metaverse and the only constant name we have....

Persona 5 Royal, the expanded and definitive edition of the successful PS4-exclusive RPG, is nearing its October launch in Japan. While western audiences won’t see Persona 5 Royal until 2020 at the earliest, they can at least enjoy the new trailers and marketing Atlus is releasing pending the game’s upcoming release date. The most recent Persona 5 Royal trailer showcases one of the game’s new playable characters changing into their Awakened form, clearly made by fans of Sailor Moon....

Konami has released an Online Performance Test for its next football game, believed to be PES 2022 but currently titled ‘New Football Game‘. On the website for the beta, Konami say the purpose is to “evaluate the quality of the online matchmaking and connection to the servers.” As you’d probably expect, they also note that “gameplay mechanics, balancing, animations and graphics are all under development and will be improved before the official launch....

It’s been a bumpy road for CD Projekt Red and Cyberpunk 2077, but we’re finally learning more about the game’s promised expansion — Phantom Liberty. Granted, we still have to wait until next year to get our next bit of story content for the game. But what about after? Well, as spotted by mp1st, Phantom Liberty may be the only expansion coming to Cyberpunk 2077 in the end. The revelation comes from an unusual source....

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire takes a lot of inspiration from the Baldur’s Gate series, which means that the monster fighting and treasure looting can sometimes take a backseat to some puzzle solving. One of the first mandatory dungeons in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is the Engwithan Digsite, which the player needs to explore if they want to get their ship fixed. Once they reach the Arena Sub-Level, they will encounter a puzzle that can be frustrating to solve without guidance....

EA has been accused of trying to silence criticism over its newly-released FIFA 20, with fans in uproar over the game’s Career Mode. The hashtag #FixCareerMode took off within the first 24 hours of the title’s release as players appear to have had it with EA’s ignoring of one of the game’s most popular modes. Apart from the crazy scheduling that has plagued Career Mode for years, there are several other concerns where it’s concerned, including unrealistic starting XIs, repetitive press conferences and annoying bugs....

PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds is once again reaching out to its players for the next new skin ideas, thanks to PUBG’s 3rd Anniversary Skin Contest.

On May 30th, Sony unleashed the 4.70 system update for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro. The update increases the quality of the system’s overall performance, allows players to view match results for tournaments, and slightly changed some of the icons. While it isn’t a big update, it is an important one. The update requires 340MB of free space in order to install and is mandatory in order to use any online functions....

Dataminers have discovered a list of no less than 36 rejected games that were seemingly considered for the PlayStation Classic. Re-releases and remakes of titles from decades ago are currently extremely popular in the video gaming realm. The trend began last year when the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy was remastered and re-released across a number of platforms. Recently, the original Spyro trilogy has received the same treatment. Games aren’t the only things being remastered....

Sony has announced that it’s launching its own PlayStation figurine line, although don’t get too excited; they’re not the House of Kratos’ answer to the Nintendo amiibo, but rather, collectible, non-articulate figures. Manufactured by GameStop company ThinkGeek, the Totaku Collection includes a number of iconic PlayStation characters, including Heihachi Mishima (Tekken), Kratos (God of War), and SackBoy (LittleBigPlanet). Other highlights include Bloodborne’s Hunter, Parappa the Rapper, Crash Bandicoot, and the WipEout FX350 ship....

While Pokémon Sword and Shield is fun and brought some engaging new features, it’s a technically shallow game. Throughout the game’s launch in November TheGamer covered several shortcomings including the 30 fps framerate lock, subpar graphics, and let’s not forget the National dex got hacked to bits. Despite adding some frivolously entertaining mechanics such as Dynamaxing and camping, the games are undeniably lacking depth. For starters, the 30 fps is the same frame rate in which the previous titles have run, however, that was on the DS....

Pokemon anime fans who were excited to see Ash and friends explore the Galar region were disappointed to hear that the next (and currently running) anime season would not fully deliver. The new Pokemon anime season instead has Ash visiting all of the previous Pokemon locations, though Galar is planned to be a stop, too. For Pokemon Sword and Shield players hoping for a more thorough tour of Galar, the news was frustrating....

If you’re a Nintendo fan, then it’s probably pretty hard to pick which of the three of these are your best friend: a dog, jewelry, or your favorite Pokemon. Luckily, if you’re a rock-type fan, you’re choice just became a little bit easier thanks to this amazing handmade Onix silver ring. As you can see in the post below to the Pokemon subreddit, user therealMSTR created a silver ring that is in the shape of an Onix....

Pokemon GO trainers barely have a chance to catch their breath this weekend. The February Community Day event isn’t the only big activity to manage, thanks to the surprise addition of Friendship Weekend 2020. This annual event is a great opportunity to stock up on Stardust and to trigger some exciting Lucky Trades. This event is rather short, so players are going to want to get started right away to have a chance to take full advantage of all of the bonuses and features....

Maps are a prominent feature of Pokemon games as they tell you the sequence of routes to follow. However, there is a huge change in the new installments. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, if you open the map, you will not see the standard linear routes. Like Legends: Arceus, you will see a dynamic open-world map. This might get a bit overwhelming with the amount of content in this game. But, you get the chance of following your path instead of a preset path....

In an interview with VG247, Pokemon Sword & Shield producer Junichi Masuda said, ‘We don’t have regrets about what we’ve done.’ He was asked about Pokemon Sword & Shield not having the full national dex, which would include all Pokemon from the previous games. It has been a bone of contention for some of the series’ fans. In response, Masuda said, ‘We don’t have regrets about what we’ve done. In terms of having Pokemon that you had in previous games, we do have Pokemon Home that’s coming out – and that’s another place where everyone can gather all their Pokemon from previous games and enjoy a different way of playing with them there....
