If you’ve been keeping up with the news recently, you may have heard about the new Fortnite Galaxy skin. It’s a unique skin for Fortnite that is supposed to be exclusive to those that purchase a Galaxy Note 9 or a Galaxy Tab S4 before 12/31/18.

Whilst it makes sense that this item will be exclusive, to begin with, there are rumors that suggest the Fortnite Galaxy skin may be available to everybody after the date listed above.

In a Forbes article, a chat with a Samsung customer representative suggested that the skin will be made available to everybody after the 31st of December.

Now, we can’t guarantee that what the chat representative was correct. They could have made a mistake. But if you think about it logically, it’d make sense for Epic Games to put the skin on sale to everybody eventually.

The new Galaxy skin has already gathered a lot of attention and there’s no denying that a lot of people would throw over their hard-earned V-Bucks to get

Wonder where the free PlayStation Plus games for August have been? Well, here they are.

In this article, we will showcase the official list provided straight from Sony. All of these games are available to download for free right now.

PS4

This month, the PlayStation 4 will have two games up for free - Mafia III and Dead by Daylight.

One of the most popular open world action-adventure games, Mafia III puts you in the shoes of a Vietnam War veteran as he seeks revenge on a group of mobsters that murdered his family.

Dead by Daylight is a unique multiplayer horror game where one player plays as a serial killer and four others play as the victims.

The serial killer must hunt the victims down, whilst the remaining players must work to fix up generators and escape their location.

PS3

PS3 will have Bound by Flame and Serious Sam 3 BFE available for all PSN members this month.

Bound by Flame is a fantasy-themed

The Black Ops 4 beta is live. During the beta, a lot of changes have been noticed by the community. One such change is the introduction of a new weapon ballistics feature.

Weapons in Black Ops 4 will behave differently depending on their weapon class. With this, bullet drop and things like spread will be added to balance out the different weapon classes.

So far, we haven’t noticed all of the weapon ballistic changes that have been added, but one clear change is found on SMGs.

In past COD games, SMGs were often all-in-one killing machines. They were fast firing and could be used at relatively any distance. In Black Ops 4, this is no longer the case. SMGs start to falter at longer ranges due to changes to their weapon ballistics.

This will make players think harder about which weapons to use to suit their playstyle. The weapon ballistic changes will also be important for creating a more competitive environment. Hopefully, players will be forced to rely on each

Thinking about going pro in Fortnite on the PS4 or Xbox One? The good news is that it is still possible, despite what other people may say.

Many individuals think that professional gaming, especially for shooter games like Fortnite, requires a mouse and keyboard for you to be able to compete at a high level.

Whilst it is true that a mouse will give you more precision and accuracy than a controller, there’s nothing stopping you from playing Fortnite competitively with a controller if that is what you are comfortable with.

To go pro in Fortnite, the easiest route is to build a strong following on YouTube or Twitch first. Live streamers are the first to get invited to Fortnite events these days. Once you’re invited, you’ll get recognition and the chance to fight for prize money just for working on your personality and stream quality.

Obviously, it’s not going to be an easy journey. Building up a stream big enough to gain the attention of Epic Games or other tournament

This year there has been a huge Pro Xbox One controller shortage due to a mixture of
manufacturing limitations and a larger interest from the general public.
As a result, many of the biggest aftermarket controller manufacturers are facing global shortage
issues.

To make things worse, most companies are unable to provide a date for when they will be able
to deal with back orders for those interested in out of stock Xbox One pro controllers.

What Is Causing The Pro Xbox Controller Shortage?

One of the major reasons why pro Xbox controllers are out of stock right now is because
Microsoft is moving away from the non-Bluetooth variant of their Xbox One controller.
Many custom Xbox controller manufacturers are still using the version without Bluetooth, which
means they need to deal with some adjustments before they can start shipping out the new
models.

This is the main reason why there is such a large

If you have an old physical copy of any of the games listed below, you'll be able to put in the disc and play it on your Xbox One. If you don't have a physical copy, don't worry, Microsoft is also selling digital copies of each game for $9.99.

We have provided the full list of original Xbox games now available on the Xbox One X below:

• Black
• BloodRayne 2
• Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge

With the Xbox One X set to storm the world next month, Microsoft is gearing up their game library by releasing visual updates. Surprisingly, even some older Xbox 360 games available on the Xbox One X via backward compatibility are set to get the visual upgrade treatment.

According to Xbox, a number of Xbox 360 backward compatible games will be getting an upgrade to support a higher resolution, 9X the original pixel count, and expanded color details.

This upgrade allows to improve game visual quality without touching the game code in any way. It's called the Heutchy Method and "leverages the power of Xbox One X to let the Xbox 360 emulator present the very best version of the game possible with the existing assets--all without touching the game code."

The number of games to get upgraded visual support is quite limited so far. The Xbox 360 games available for an Xbox One X visual upgrade are Assassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Halo 3.

Gears of War 4 is set to receive a rather hefty patch that'll include a range of improvements aimed towards Xbox One X users. These improvements are all changes to the graphical appearance and overall frame performance of the game.

The update is completely free, but it won't offer any benefits for those not using the Xbox One X.

To begin with, the new Xbox One X improvements for Gears of War 4 will allow players to play the game in true 4K (3840 x 2160). Players will have the option to choose between different visual modes, but even 1080P is said to have a significant graphics boost.

There will also be two different rendering modes players can choose from. Players can either go into Performance mode or Visuals mode. On Performance mode, the game will be capped at 1080P resolution, but frame rate will be higher and will reach 60 frames per second.

With the Visuals mode, players can choose to use 4K resolution and 30FPS. These changes will only be apparent in Campaign

So far, we know that Star Wars Battlefront II is getting a single player campaign, but we know relatively little information about it.

This is quite surprising considering how close we are to the launch now. Thankfully, we have a few more snippets of information today that we can use to help slowly piece together the Star Wars Battlefront campaign story.

Battlefront II producer David Robillard has revealed the length of the Star Wars Battlefront campaign. According to Robillard, the playtime is roughly 5 to 8 hours, depending on how well you can play against the AI opponents.

Considering that this is usually the average length of a single player campaign for AAA first-person shooter games, I think we've got something special to look forward to. There are no details of any level of replayability for the single player campaign yet. These days, most campaigns seem to have very little replay value.

It'd be great to go back to the days of Halo 3 - during those times

A brand new game of the year edition for Hitman has been announced and it will make its way to Xbox One, PC, and PS4 later this year on November 7.

The new game of the year edition will include the base game, the content available through the Hitman season pass, and a brand new campaign called Patient Zero.

IO Interactive has provided a small snippet of information about the new campaign. We've provided the description below:

"After the routine elimination of a target, a contingency plan to unleash a global pandemic is triggered and Agent 47 must race against the clock to prevent a virus from spreading," reads the new campaign's description. "This four-mission campaign spans different locations in the game, each one re-worked from the original settings with new gameplay opportunities, disguises, characters, challenges, gameplay mechanics, AI behavior and HUD elements. Bangkok, Sapienza, Colorado and Hokkaido look and feel completely different with a new time of day
