The second beta for Titanfall 2 has now gone live for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and you can still get the chance to play it right now. The main goal for this beta from Respawn Entertainment's perspective is to stress test the servers, so it's very easy to get into the beta on both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. You can download the Titanfall 2 multiplayer stress test from both the Xbox Games Store and the PlayStation Store from your consoles.
If you miss the beta this time, don't fret, we'd expect there to be at least another multiplayer stress test before the game gets a final release. Speaking of which, Titanfall 2 is now scheduled for release on October 28 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Available gameplay content in the beta is understandably quite limited, but this new beta test did see a small addition of new content added. A number of game fixes and tweaks have been made during the beta test, too, so it's clear that Respawn Entertainment still have quite a

As you may know already, Sony is slowly gearing up to release the PS4 Slim as a new alternative to their current game console. As the name of the console suggests, the PS4 Slim will be a smaller, more lightweight version of the original PlayStation 4. This is a move that Sony has made plenty of times in the past with all of their consoles. In fact, Sony even released a PlayStation One slim, and have been doing so with their main game consoles ever since.
Because of this, it's no surprise that a PlayStation 4 Slim is on it's way. However, the surprising part is that a newly reworked DualShock 4 controller may be released alongside the PS4 Slim.
According to rumors, the new controller will have a change to the lightbar. The lightbar is used to signify each player for split-screen games. Each player is given a different color. Players can also change their own color for their profile so that players know that they are signed into their own account when playing on their own.

2K Games has announced that a new BioShock collection will be coming soon. The collection will feature the previous BioShock games and all related DLC packs. As you can imagine, the title for the collection is simply "BioShock: The Collection."
2K Games made the announcement with an announcement trailer, which has been posted to their Youtube channel. If you've played the BioShock games then the trailer is certain to send chills down your spine. It may be surprising, but it's been nine years since the first BioShock title. Nine years!
2K Games has described the collection as being a $59.99 bundle with other $100 worth of content. Obviously this is taking the full game digital retail prices into consideration, and not the far cheaper price of a used physical copy.
All three games have been remastered for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4 with help from Blind Squirrel Games. Below, the content from each three games in the collection has been listed. On top of the full games

If you're a Battlefield 4 player and own the game on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 or PC, you may want to head into game because DICE has just released Second Assault as a new free update.
The new change has been added as part of DICE's new 'Road to Battlefield 1' campaign, which will essentially re-release old content for free to hype up previous Battlefield players and encourage others to get back in the game in anticipation for the new Battlefield title later this year.
Before this change, Second Assault was available for $15, so if you've always wondered what the Battlefield 4 DLC content was like but didn't want to spend any extra cash on the game, you can now find out for yourself.
Operation Metro, Caspian Border, Gulf of Oman, and Operation Firestorm are included in Second Assault, all of which are re-imagined versions of Battlefield 3 maps. Second Assault also adds five new weapons and 10 new assignments to the game.

A new expansion is coming to Neverwinter later this year, but before that the game will be coming to the PlayStation 4 for the first time. The PS4 version will also include all of the nine previously released expansions that have made their way to PC and the Xbox One.
On the PS4 listing, Neverwinter has been described as a game 'Set along the Sword Coast, Neverwinter is a free-to-play game with eight playable classes and the controls have been reconfigured to make use of the DualShock 4's touchpad and Party Chat integration.'
Whilst Neverwinter requires an Xbox Live Gold membership to be playable on the Xbox One, the Neverwinter release for PlayStation 4 will not require a PS Plus membership. This means that all PS4 owners will be able to play Neverwinter for free, so long as they are able to download the game to their hard drive.
It's been a common trend to see free to play games make their way to consoles and Neverwinter isn't the first. However, Neverwinter is definitely

Despite being launched on Xbox One far after the release of the PlayStation 4 and the PC versions, the Xbox One edition of Rocket League has already brought in a huge number of players. In fact, recently it was confirmed that the game now has over 1,000,000 players.
Psyonix, the developers of Rocket League, recently revealed on Twitter that the Xbox One version has now hit 1 million unique players. It'll be interesting to see how many unique copies have sold on the PlayStation 4 and the PC as well, especially in a similar time frame. Numbers for other platforms are probably as high as you'd expect them to be, but with all of the hype surrounding the Xbox One release, we have a feeling that the new version has sold a lot quicker than previous releases.
The increased sales for Rocket League should hopefully mean two very big things. Firstly, development for Rocket League is going to continue for the foreseeable future, which means new content patches, new cosmetic items, new

A brand new update for Star Wars Battlefront has hit servers and it features a bunch of new content for March. The new update is already available for all platforms - this includes PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
It should be noted that all of the content in the new March update for Star Wars Battlefront is entirely free of charge for all players across all three platforms. The new update adds a new survival mission on Tatooine called Rebel Depot, as well as Survivors of Ender to Assault, Supremacy, Walker Assault and Turning Point.
The update adds Rebel Depot on Tatooine as a new Survival Mission, and brings Survivors of Endor to the Walker Assault, Supremacy, and Turning Point modes.
After this free content update, more content for Star Wars Battlefront is sure to follow. However the next upcoming content will most likely be part of the paid DLC season pass. We're expecting to see Outer Rim as the first expansion for Star Wars Battlefront and this should include new

Tom Clancy's The Division has finally gone live and servers for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC are now available. The open world third person shooter RPG title is a brand new IP from Ubisoft which features a random loot system similar to Destiny. However, there are plenty of gameplay elements that make The Division unique.
If you owned the physical copy of Tom Clancy's The Division, chances are you managed to get into the servers earlier than the March 8 release date. Servers went live early, however digital copies did not activate until the aforementioned launch date.
On top of the full game, a number of microtransactions have gone live for Tom Clancy's The Division. Whilst there is no typical DLC content available yet, the microtransaction packs from Ubisoft feature a number of in-game items.
All of the microtransaction packs include cosmetic-only items and can be accessed from each console's game store - this would be the UPlay store for PC, the Xbox Games store

If you've been following the development of Fallout 4 then you'll know that Bethesda has a lot of great plans for the game in the near future. Whilst Bethesda will be releasing their own additional content throughout the next year, Bethesda also want to open up new content potential via community mod support.
Not only will Fallout 4 receive mod support on the PC but for the first time mod support will also be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the past we had no idea about when mod support will arrive for Fallout 4 but Bethesda has recently spoken up about their plans. Todd Howard at Bethesda recently revealed that the PC mod support should be released soon and the consoles should follow after everything has been shown to work smoothly on the PC.
Mod support should hopefully be launched between the first and second DLC packs for Fallout 4.
In an interview with GameInformer, Howard mentioned that their "Goal is between the first two DLCs. It'll go up at that time

That's right, Quantum Break will no longer be just available for the Xbox One. Whilst the game will not be coming to PlayStation 4, it will be launching on Windows 10.
