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

The Eclipse DLC for Black Ops 3 that originally landed on PlayStation 4 a month ago has finally made it's way to the Xbox One and the PC. The new Eclipse DLC is the second of a series of content packs for Black Ops 3 and it includes a number of new features and maps for the game.
Whilst the content has already been available on the PlayStation 4 due to an exclusivity deal with Sony, this is the first time players on the Xbox One and the PC will have access to the content. In total, the new Black Ops 3 DLC pack includes four new multiplayer maps as well as a new Zombies campaign.
Out of the four maps, three of them have been created from the ground up whilst the fourth, Verge, has been based upon Bonzai, one of the most popular maps from Call of Duty: World at War.
Verge was previously described as a 're-imagination of the classic Call of Duty: World at War map, Banzai. Verge drops Multiplayer combat into the center of a distant post-apocalyptic future, where two warring

The debut DLC for Fallout 4 is now available. Named Automatron, the first DLC comes as part of the $50 season pass but it can also be picked up for $10 as standalone content. The DLC features a new set of quests that put the player against a mysterious character named the Mechanist. Players will be forced to fight against all sorts of aggressive robots and they'll also have the pleasure of taking down Robobrain, a robot boss character.
As you take down more robots throughout the Automatron quest line, you'll unlock new items that you'll be able to use to build your very own robot. There are apparently dozens of different limbs, armor pieces, paint jobs, voices, weaponry and ability mods to choose from, allowing you to create your very own unique robot companion.
Hopefully the content in Automatron will last most players throughout the rest of March because the second DLC, which is named Wasteland Workshop, will be available at some point in April. The third DLC will also be

A brand new update has launched for The Division and it features a range of changes to the game. The new 1.02 update has launched for Xbox One, PS and PlayStation 4 and in this article we'll be delving into some of the changes.
Most of the changes that affect gameplay have been listed below.
+ Named enemies will now drop better loot in Challenge mode than in Hard mode.
+ Added a cooldown period for the Static Turret stun attack in order to avoid a stunlock in PvP and PvE game modes.
+ Named NPCs will no longer respawn after being killed in the Open World. This will prevent situations where players were able to kill a same named NPC over and over again.
+ Modifications to the weapon talent: Trained.
+ It can now only be rolled on Shotgun, Marksman rifles and Pistols.
+ Its bonus has been reduced from 1%-5% to a constant 0.1%.
+ For the Midas SMGs, Trained Talent has been replaced with Responsive Talent which increases damage when getting -

A brand new Xbox One update has launched and it brings a number of changes, some of which were seen in the Preview Program that received an update earlier in the month. The update coincides with a Windows 10 Xbox update, both of which have some interesting improvements.
Firstly, a change has been made to party chat - the limit for players in a chat is now 16. Previously the player count for a party chat was 12. Party Chat originally launched with just 8 player support and it has grown since, mostly because it has been one of the most popularly used features. Xbox One engineer Mike Ybarra says that 64 player party chat may one day be a possibility. We'd hope that with that, we'd have some sort of channel sorting system so that party chat could be used as a voice server like Teamspeak 3 - players would be able to join different channels to avoid overspeaking other players who may be playing a different game. On top of the increased player amount, Xbox One owners will now be able to

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

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
