To help support Fortnite content creators of all sizes, Epic Games has launched a new program called Support-A-Creator.

From now until December 31, you can choose to input the name of any supported creator when you spend V-Bucks in-game.

Doing so will help the creator to get paid a small sum of money based on how much V-Bucks you spend. Creators will be rewarded money regardless of whether you paid for the V-Bucks or if you earned it through the Battle Pass.

Everybody from Ninja to small streamers on YouTube and Twitch are eligible to sign up to the Support-A-Creator program.

As of writing, there are already 4,000 creators on the program and Epic Games are being rather lenient with new sign ups. If you are a Fortnite content creator with a small audience and you are struggling to bring in revenue, you may want to visit the Fortnite creators page to sign up.

You can then ask your audience to input your name when they spend V-Bucks and you will be rewarded.

While all of the hype has been surrounding Blackout recently, Treyarch certainly hasn't neglected the standard Black Ops 4 multiplayer by any means.

In fact, Treyarch has been very busy balancing and updating the game after their past multiplayer beta, and they have just now announced two new maps that'll be appearing in Black Ops 4's multiplayer.

The first map is Summit. This is a fan favorite from the very first Black Ops game, and many people are happy to see it return.

Summit is a research facility covered in snow. It's a fairly small map but it offers some excellent opportunities for close quarter combat.

The second map that Treyarch announced is Morocco. This is a brand new map that Treyarch mentioned will be available from October 12. Morocco takes part in a small Moroccan village. The full description for this map is as follows:

“Rebels in a small Moroccan village are using government military support planes as target practices as they fly over

We have finally been given more information about the upcoming Fallout 76 beta across all platforms.

Bethesda has revealed some details about the beta and when we can expect to get access to it. Take a look at what we now know below.

Bethesda has announced that the Fallout 76 beta will come to the Xbox One first on October 23. One week later, the beta will be available for PlayStation 4 and PC players.

Bethesda has made it very clear that while they are excited to show people Fallout 76 for the first time, the beta is designed to be a stress test. As a result, the servers may go down, they may break, and there may be performance issues.

Bethesda also said that the servers will be going online at targeted timeframes so that Bethesda can get as many people online at once.

Bethesda says they will reveal the live server times at a later point, but the servers will be live between four and eight hours at a time.

What's exciting is that the beta will

A brand new Red Dead Redemption 2 trailer has dropped and it showcases more gameplay elements. We finally get to see what it'll be like to actually play the game.

The trailer begins by different criminal activities the player can take part in. This includes large bank heists, train robberies, or store hold ups.

The trailer also showcases rival gangs and outlaws. Players will need to keep their wits about them as they explore the world as there will always be danger around the corner.

The trailer also showcases what it will be like to constantly be on the run from bounty hunters and the law.

As teased from the last trailer, we got to see a further look at the new deadeye system. It will now have multiple stages. You can slow time, paint multiple targets at once, or see critical areas on a particular enemy.

Besides typical criminal activities like explained above, Red Dead Redemption 2 will also offer a number of less dangerous activities.

Examples

If you’re a diehard Call of Duty fan, you’ll already know the majority of game modes featured in most games like the back of your hand.

One popular game variant that has seen a lot of popularity in the past is Hardcore mode. Typically, a COD game will have hardcore variants of existing game types. For example, hardcore Search and Destroy or Team Deathmatch.

Hardcore mode reduces a player’s HUD and makes the time to kill far quicker. This makes dying a lot easier, hence the name. There has always been a mixed reception for hardcore mode, but many players love it.

Thankfully, Treyarch announced that hardcore mode will be coming to the multiplayer for Black Ops 4. No details have been shared about how it will work, though. With Black Ops 4 using an entirely new health system, the hardcore mode will need to be adjusted to fit this system.

Treyarch also revealed that while the standard multiplayer will get a hardcore mode, Blackout will not get such a mode. There

The next wave of free Xbox Games with Gold titles have been announced. We've taken a look at all the free games Xbox Live Gold members will be able to get their hands on below.

First up is Overcooked. This is a co-op party game where players must team up to prepare a variety of meals for hungry customers. Preparing meals can get very frantic and all sorts of problems can go wrong.

As you play Overcooked for longer, you'll be taken to wackier restaurant locations with even more absurd things happening in the kitchen. Overcooked is frantic, action packed and an excellent game to play with your friends.

Over on the Xbox 360, Stuntman Ignition is available up until October 15. In this game, you get to control a variety of different stunt vehicles as you perform stunts on a movie set.

It's a game that'll put you through the paces and send you on a variety of action-packed challenges. The game certainly has a limited life span, but it's incredibly fun for the first

Out of nowhere, Mojang has announced a brand new Minecraft game.

The new game is called Minecraft: Dungeons and it takes Minecraft to new territories.

Mojang has unveiled that Minecraft: Dungeons is more like a side project that will exist alongside the original Minecraft game.

As the name suggests, Minecraft: Dungeons is a dungeon crawler game. It uses the same engine and existing Minecraft assets, but it will be an entirely different gameplay experience.

In Minecraft: Dungeons, up to four players will be able to join up to fight through underground levels, battling new mobs, bosses, and collecting loot.

The environments in Minecraft: Dungeons will be procedurally generated, but players will go through small levels, as opposed to the main Minecraft game which has an infinite open world.

Despite the announcement for Minecraft: Dungeons, development for the main Minecraft game isn't slowing down. Mojang has kept to their promise to keep pushing free

Fortnite season 6 has dropped and it's easily one of the most exciting seasons we've seen so far. Here is a quick overview on everything that has been added in season 6.

First, let's start with the new map locations.

In season 6, four new locations have been added - corrupted areas, corn fields, and haunted castle. The fourth place is a large floating island that moves around the map. There are also other changes spread throughout the map.

The season 6 battle pass is also filled with 100 new cosmetic items and plenty of other rewards. There are two new evolving skins - one called Calamity and another called Dire.

Both advance as you level up your battle pass. The Dire skin is perhaps the best we’ve seen so far - you start off as an ordinary man but slowly turn into a wolf as the skin evolves.

There are of course many other great skins in the new battle pass, including the Nightshade pumpkin head skin.

Pets have been added to Fortnite, as well.

With October starting, Sony has announced their free PS Plus games for the month. As Halloween will be taking part later this month, Sony has thrown in Friday the 13th to kick things off, alongside a number of other titles.

As mentioned before, Friday the 13th is easily the highlight of this month's free PS4 games. In Friday the 13th, one player gets to play as Jason Voorhees, while up to six other players must play as teen counselors.

The counselors must attempt to escape their location, while Jason gets to use a variety of tools and abilities to track them down.

The counselor players must communicate and work together to prepare a plan to escape. Playing as the counselors gives you a sense of panic and tension, while playing Voorhees is just as exciting, but for completely different reasons.

After that, we have Laser League. This is a fun multiplayer game that tests your reflexes and critical thinking. Laser League is very easy to pick up, but it takes lots

COD Blackout has been up and available on beta for PS4 pre-orderers this week and we’ve had the chance to get our hands on it.

We have to say that we’re very impressed with what we’ve seen so far. There was a lot of criticism directed toward Activision when the Blackout mode was announced, but we think that’ll all be dropped once everybody gets their hands on the game.

In Blackout, 88 players join the same open world map. Just like other battle royale games, the idea is that only one player or team can survive.

You’ll choose where you land and from there you must pick up loot scattered around the world. You’ll find everything from SMGs to RPGs on the ground, as well as a range of utility items.

Blackout also has a selection of vehicles in the world, including helicopters, large trucks, and ATVs. This is very exciting to see - vehicles are something we haven’t seen in Call of Duty for a very, very long time.

The vehicles work smoothly, but they fit into
