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 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

A brand new patch for Ghost: Recon Wildlands has arrived for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The patch, which is codenamed 3.0, comes in at a hefty 5.3GB.
In the new update, new season challenges have been added to Ghost Recon: Wildlands. These new challenges can offer players rewards for completing. Each season will be themed, with the first starting in this new patch. The first season is named "The Rise and Fool of Unidad" and will encourage players to take down Unidad operators.
Season challenges will be reset every Wednesday, so players will be able to come back each week to earn more rewards each season. Players can earn up to three rewards each week as well.
A bunch of other changes and tweaks have been added in Ghost: Recon Wildlands, including improvements to "narrative content delivery," which essentially means AI ghost dialogue has been improved. The radio playlist in cars has been randomized too, so you shouldn't find yourself listening to the same songs each time

A big new update has hit the Overwatch servers and players are getting hyped up. The new Overwatch Insurrection adds a brand new PvE mode, a bundle of new skins and plenty of new item unlocks via a brand new in-game chest.
The new in-game loot box from the Overwatch Insurrection adds a total of 100 new in-game items, including some impressive new skins.
The main focus of the new Overwatch Insurrection update, however, is the new PvE game mode. In the new game mode, teams of four can go up waves of incoming robot AI opponents. In the main PvE game mode, players must fight as Reinhardt, Tracer, Mercy, and Torbjorn. There is a secondary version of the same game mode where players are able to pick and choose their own heroes.
The main PvE game mode increases in difficulty as players fight their way through it. At the end, players will go up against an Orisa-like boss. This new PvE game mode will only run until May 1, so if you want to give it a go, make sure to round up

Infinite Warfare has received a new update which includes new weapons, new voice packs and more.
Although the Infinite Warfare update cycle may soon be nearing its end, a recent update has been pushed out to PS4, Xbox One, and PC servers. The new update, which is patch 1.12, introduces a number of new features and purchasable items within the Infinite Warfare store menu.
First things first, two new voice packs have been added to the store. The first voice pack is a run-of-the-mill UK Special Forces pack. The second is a little more exciting. The next voice pack features phrases and words of advice from Method Man, an American rapper perhaps best known for his part in the Wu-Tang clan.
Two new weapons have also been added to Infinite Warfare in the latest update. First up is the VPR - this is a full-auto ballistic SMG. It has dual barrels and dual magazines for faster fire rate and reload times.
The second new weapon is the X-Eon - a brand new full auto energy

After a short time on the public test environment on the PC, Orisa, a new hero in Overwatch, has been added to the live servers for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
The new hero, named Orisa, is a brand new tank hero for Overwatch. To begin with, Orisa will not be available in competitive play. For the first few weeks, Orisa will be limited to Quick Play, Arcade and the Play Vs. AI modes. Blizzard has explained that they'd like their player base to get to learn how Orisa works before she is thrown into the competitive meta.
While Orisa is a tank, she has an arsenal of abilities to help protect her team, which makes her a viable support as well. Her main weapon is called the Fusion Driver - it can deal consistent damage to enemies, but Orisa is slowed down the longer the weapon is used as a throwback. Her alternate fire is called Halt and this allows Orisa to create a small detonated charge that can slow enemies.
Orisa's ultimate ability is called Supercharger. With this,

In preparation for CWL Dallas, a brand new Infinite Warface patch has hit servers across all platforms.
The new patch includes a number of bug fixes and tweaks, but most importantly has made some adjustments to some weapons. The highlight for this patch's weapon balancing is the changes to the KBAR and the Type-2.
The KBAR and NV4 have now both been nerfed, while the Type-2 has been buffed, which makes it one of the most viable weapons in competitive play.
Below, the full weapon balancing changes for the latest Infinite Warfare patch have been listed.
- Type-2 (AR mode)- Slight increase to the fire rate and a decrease to ADS recoil
- Type-2- Slight increase to hip fire spread when in akimbo mode
- Volk- Increase to the 3 bullet hit kill range
- Titan- Slightly increase to the fire rate and an increase to the 4 bullet hit kill range
- KBAR- Slightly decrease to the 4 bullet hit kill range
- NV4- Slightly increase to the ADS

Glaz has slowly been phased out of competitive play, and Ubisoft have taken notice. As a result, it looks like Glaz will be getting a much needed buff.
A new video posted to the Rainbow Six Siege Twitter profile showcases a thermal imaging scope for Glaz - when Glaz zooms in with his sniper, the thermal heat signature of enemy players can be seen through walls.
Ubisoft didn't mention whether this would be a feature for all operators, or whether it would be exclusive to Glaz, but it would make sense that the feature was locked down to Glaz's sniper rifle.
So far, we don't know when this new feature will be brought to Rainbow Six Siege. There is a big update planned for later this month, so we may see the new thermal scope added to the game then.
Hopefully, the feature isn't too overpowered at the beginning. We expect the play rate for Glaz will spike massively after the patch for his thermal scope hits live servers, though.
Recently, Rainbow Six Siege rolled

A new update is being planned for Dishonored 2 that will add new difficulty modes to the game.
The new update will include a number of other features and will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One on January 23. PC players will be able to download a beta update on Steam on January 18 to test it early.
The level of control a player will have over how difficult Dishonored 2 can be may be the most impressive we've seen in a game so far. Instead of having locked difficult levels, the new update for Dishonored 2 will give players access to 20 different sliders, all of which can be used to adjust the difficulty of different game mechanics.
For example, one slider can change how many enemies are likely to attack you at once, while another can change how quickly it'll take for a sleep dart to take effect. One slider will be named Iron Mode, use this slider and you can turn off manual saving, load functionality and even add permadeath.
Finally, the other major feature of the upcoming
