A brand new update has been added to GTA Online that introduced a new weaponized vehicle and a number of other changes. As usual, a new list of items has been put up for discount and the items on sale last week have now reverted back to their standard prices.
The biggest feature in this new update is without a doubt the new vehicle. The vehicle is weaponized and is called the Insurgent Pickup Custom. As the name suggests, the Insurgent Pickup Custom is essentially a Pick-up style Insurgent vehicle. A player can sit on the top of the Pick-up and use the heavy machine gun that the vehicle is equipped with.
The player on the turret is vulnerable, while players inside the Insurgent Pickup are safe from bullets. To fully upgrade the vehicle with the best armor and weapons, players must first purchase the Pickup, then upgrade it in the mobile operations center.
If you haven't managed to get access to the new gun running content yet, you'll be happy to hear that some of the

A brand new update is coming to Rainbow Six Siege, and it will be adding loot boxes, among some other changes.
It seems most online multiplayer games now have some form of loot box - players can open these boxes for a chance of new cosmetic items in gear. We've seen this type of box in Counter Strike, Overwatch, Rocket League, Call of Duty, Halo, and now it's coming to Rainbow Six: Siege.
Title update 2.1.1 is the new update that's bringing the loot boxes. The loot boxes are called Alpha Packs, and players will have the chance to buy them with either of the two types of currency currently in the game.
This means players can play more games to earn renown to spend on the packs, or they can spend real money to get points to open them with. The alpha packs will feature a chance based loot system similar to other popular multiplayer games. The packs will include loot already available in the game, as well as new items of legendary rarity.
A number of bug fixes were

In the recent gun running update, Rockstar included some course code for a potentially hidden UFO mission. GTA modding group Team Guru has now uncoded the mission and have got it working.
So far, the mission cannot be played legitimately and it looks as if the mission is not yet completed. Rockstar may have plans to add the full mission in the future. For now, though, the uncompleted mission starts by showing players a gigantic crashed alien spaceship.
Near the spaceship crash is a small alien egg - players can pick up the egg. After this, a group of aliens appear, and players must work together to eliminate the aliens. Players must then drive the egg to their gun running bunker.
Aliens have been seen in Grand Theft Auto 5 before. In a mission in the story, Michael starts to hallucinate after taking drugs. During this mission, players take control of Michael to bring down waves of aliens. Some players have tried to decode an alien-themed mystery, known as the Chilliad

A new patch has hit Outlast 2 which should make the gameplay a little easier for those enduring the horrors on normal difficulty mode.
While the harder difficulty modes are still available for those looking for a challenge, those hoping for a bit of slack while on normal mode have had their prayers answered to. Going forth, players on normal mode will now have their camera battery life last longer than it did before the patch.
To make things a little easier, the Outlast developers also made sure that using the microphone feature on the camera, which can be used to hear through walls, will no longer drain the camera battery either. Currently, the night vision feature on the camera still does drain the camera battery, so you'll still need to be conservative with the camera's features, but it no longer drains as fast as it did before, especially on normal mode.
For those wanting to know more about the latest patch, make sure to read the excerpt straight from the Outlast

A brand new Battlefield 1 map has been announced and more information has been shared about the upcoming DLC content drop that will be hitting in late summer.
The brand new map for Battlefield 1 is named Prise de Tahure, and it will take place in the autumn after the Nivelle Offensive. This was a French and British lead offensive that took place in 1917. The official map description is as follows:
"Prise de Tahure sees French troops desperately holding on to re-captured heights in the Butte-de-Tahure region. The frontline trench networks cut right through several villages facing obliteration from the constant skirmishing between German stormtroopers and French raiders. This is a war of attrition. Adaptability and tactics are the means to wear your adversary down."
The new map will shortly be added to the community test environment - during test play, DICE will make any adjustments they see necessary. After that, the update will be prepared to launch alongside

A new Horizon Zero Dawn patch adds 243MB of new changes and tweaks to the game.
The new update is patch 1.20 and it makes a number of changes to the photo feature, among other tweaks.
With the new improved photo mode, you'll now have more poses for Aloy to use, as well as a number of new facial expressions. 3 more filters have been added too, so you can snap shots like it's going straight on Instagram. More importantly, the camera controls have been improved so that it's easier to get that perfect shot.
The new 1.20 patch also adds some much-needed changes to the crafting menu. There are new categories now, which makes it easier to navigate through the menu. You'll also see a green check mark next to any categories that have been completed, while a white icon has been added to categories that contain recipes that can be crafted. A gray icon has been added to symbolize categories that have no recipes that can be crafted.
Patch 1.20 has also fixed a number of gameplay
