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.

A new patch for Rainbow Six Siege has hit the online servers for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One and it will be making a number of pretty significant changes to the game. The new patch is numbered 1.2 and it is the second major patch since the release of Rainbow Six Siege.
Besides a variety of different bug fixes, some improvements have been made to the servers to ensure that hit detection is improved and lag is reduced. Here is a description from Ubisoft about the server improvements.
"With the goal of improving positioning and shooting replication, we had deployed a first update on PC in which the player position update rate is set to 60 times per second (vs. the previous 30). This change however has been done in an intermittent fashion and in certain regions only, as we were testing various configurations. We are now satisfied with its state so we are now deploying this update to all PC users. As soon as this feature has been validated with this more massive test on PC, we will

Enemy didn't go home empty handed though - the second place team was awarded $230,000 and third and fourth place teams Cloud 9 and Paradigm earned $75,000 each. The remaining cash from the $1 million prize pool went to the other six teams.
