There are a number of bonuses available in GTA Online that will remain available throughout the rest of the week. Rockstar has been placing weekly bonuses in GTA Online for the last few weeks and this week's worth of rewards will feature bonus GTA dollars and RP.
Running from March 4 through to March 10, all versus missions will reward players with double GTA$ and double RP. All players will be rewarded with double points, regardless of whether they win their games or not. If you're interested in the versus mode bonuses, you'll be able to quick join into the mode within the pause menu in GTA Online.
On top of the double bonuses for GTA Online's versus mode, players will also be able to save some money on a variety of content. Firstly, all flight school gear has been reduced by 50%. All combat helicopters, including the buzzard, have been temporarily reduced by 25% too. This is probably the area where you'll save the most amount of money, so if you plan to buy an attack chopper,

Ever since it's release the ranking system in Rainbow Six Siege has needed some work. Finally the competitive FPS game from Ubisoft should be receiving a much needed update to how ranked works in Siege.
The new upcoming update should make it easier for the matchmaking system to find players of a similar skill level to yours. Players will be matched up with and against similar skilled players for the first time since the release of Rainbow Six Siege. In the past the ranking system attempted to match up players with a similar rank but for a long time the rank system would match up coppers and bronzes with silver, golds and sometimes even higher ranks.
Recently a patch was made to bring more balance to the ranks between each team but the upcoming update should now focus on a player's skill instead of their current ranking. The balancing will focus on attributes such as their recent performance and their number of hours in Rainbow Six Siege.
The upcoming patch for Rainbow

We have some interesting information about Fallout 4 sales to share with you. According to Bethesda’s director, Todd Howard, Fallout 4 managed to make more with digital sales on day one than it made with physical sales.
Whilst specific numbers weren't shared, Howard revealed that digital sales numbers for Fallout 4's first day of release managed to outperform physical sales numbers and Howard considered this to be, "A big change."
Whilst it is likely that physical copies made up a large portion of sales on day one, it is interesting to see that the digital format was favored over the physical version on day one. With only physical copies in mind, Fallout 4 managed to ship 12 million copies on day one alone, so sales for the digital version must have been pretty significant.
We don't have numbers on how well digital sales performed after the first week, or first month of Fallout 4's release, but we'd imagine that they managed to at least sit close with the physical sales

So it looks like the file size for the digital version of Quantum Break on the Xbox One has finally been revealed. With Quantum Break heading for release in April, it's good to know how much storage space Xbox One owners will need to set aside for the upcoming Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive title.
According to the Xbox Games Store listing for Quantum Break, the digital version will weigh in at 44.09GB. This size may not include day one patches or any additional content planned for after the initial release, but if you spare around 50-60GB for The Quantum Break you shouldn't run into any issues once preloading becomes available. Strangely the listing for The Quantum Break has now been removed so it could be possible that the previous number was a placeholder or a file size for an older build. We don't imagine the game will be much larger than the previously stated 44GB, however.
The new information does not share the PC file size. Whilst recommended specs for Quantum Break

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

To fit in with plenty of other trending video games, Rockstar has released a brand new patch for Grand Theft Auto Online that fits in with Valentine's Day. Whilst the update adds some timed exclusive Valentine's Day themed content, some new permanent features have been added too.
Like previous updates, all of the content has been designed specifically for GTA Online, but some of the items, such as vehicles and clothing options, should be available in the singleplayer portion of GTA V too.
The first of the newly announced items for the Valentine's Day update is a brand new vehicle called the Albany Roosevelt Valor. This vehicle has been described as being an "Updated take on the classic Roosevelt," and it has "A range of exciting modifications available to apply at Los Santos Customs."

Guess what? We're about to get a bunch of information about the first Fallout DLC and it sounds like it could be incredible. Bethesda has been on Twitter to suggest that not only will the upcoming first DLC for Fallout 4 have new content, but it will be making an overhaul to some of the previous gameplay as well.
In one very exciting Tweet, Bethesda mentioned that They are "Doing a complete overhaul of Fallout 4 Survival mode. Food, sleep, diseases, danger and more," and reminded players to stay tuned.
Bethesda has also suggested that we're not far off from the first DLC release for Fallout 4. Hopefully we'll be hearing some very exciting news about Fallout 4 very soon.
With an overhaul to the survival mode, the Fallout 4 experience could be changed drastically. In the past, modders have created mods for the PC version of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas that make it incredibly hard to survive. Whilst we may not be seeing as extreme changes as in some of these mods,

You didn't really think Ubisoft would create an entirely new IP and never touch it again did you? Well, if you did, I have some news for you. It's been confirmed that a brand new Watch Dogs game is in the works and if all goes to plan, it should hit shelves at some point in 2017.
In Ubisoft's recent financial calling, a number of details were revealed, but the highlight of the show was definitely the announcement of Watch Dogs 2 to their investors. To top it off, Ubisoft also have plans for a brand new AAA IP, however this has yet to be revealed.
The new Watch Dogs 2 has been scheduled to launch before Ubisoft's next financial year ends, which will mean the new game will hit before April 30, 2017. Two other games, For Honor and Ghost Recon: WildLands, are expected to launch before the above date too and to top it off, Ubisoft have a re-imagined Assassin's Creed planned for this financial year.
We aren't sure what's more exciting. A new Watch Dogs title could potentially

In the teaser, the following information was shared.
+ Includes all PC content up thru to PC version .233
+ Split screen multiplayer supported for online and local play
+ Frame rate improvements
+ Maximum number of players in non-dedicated servers increased to 8
+ Fixed a memory leak that would eventually cause the client to crash after some time
+ Fixed multi-colored DimorphodonIncluding split screen to Ark was a surprise, especially considering singleplayer frame rate is already struggling to perform well. However, the new update does improve the overall frame rate so maybe the new Xbox One patch will allow players to play Ark: Survival Evolved on the
