The Epic Games Store has launched its ‘Mega Sale‘ with a massive discount on more than 1,600 games!!!!!!!!!!!!

This Promotion will run for the next 4 weeks up until June 16th.

Epic has announced that over 1,600 games and add-ons with discounts of up to 75%. Alongside this gigantic sale on their online store, Epic have also delivered a free coupon to all Epic Games Store accounts worth 25% off purchases priced at, or combining to, £11.99.

Epic Games Store sales are bound to continue in 2022 with the summer sale following in July and because of this, the storefront has safely secured a spot in the gaming landscape, providing some much-needed competition to Valve and Steam.

Epic Games Store have always been punching upwards when it comes to gaining popularity with storefront with online games stores being incredibly saturated over the past few years and with Sony and Microsoft releasing versions of their consoles that no longer need discs, this means a large chunk of the player base will only exclusively use the stores on the consoles themselves because you can’t purchase games anywhere else.

Xbox Series S has outsold PlayStation 5 in Japan for the first time and that is a massive deal!!!

As we all know the home of PlayStation is Japan, Microsoft has never really concentrated on the Asian market as their competitors Sony and Nintendo have always dominated on that side of the world as it is their home. But in shocking news, Microsoft’s cheaper slimmer platform the Xbox Series S had outsold Sony’s premier console last week for the first time. The fact the Xbox Series S is cheaper and more accessible than all the other next-gen console has helped sales considerably.

Inside the week of May 9th – May 15th, Xbox Series S had outsold the PlayStation 5 by 4,000 units, an incredible achievement for Microsoft. The Xbox Series S climbs above both PlayStation 5 editions of the console. This is largely down to the production issues that Sony has been struggling with ever since the PlayStation 5 launch back November 2020, globally fans have had their problems getting their hands on both consoles down to said production issues and scalpers buying up multiple units at a time.

Unit sales in Japan between May 9th – May 15th for all consoles

• Nintendo Switch OLED – 35,868

• Nintendo Switch  – 20,443

• Nintendo Switch Lite – 9,011

• Xbox Series S – 6,120

• PlayStation 5 Disc Edition – 2,240

• PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – 453

• Xbox Series X – 105

• PlayStation 4 – 22

Xbox might’ve made the news this week but overall it doesn’t come close to Nintendo, as expected they dominate in Japan week after week with their assortment of handheld consoles (Switch OLED, Switch and Switch Lite). The unique machine has been a phenomenal success for Nintendo selling 20 million units in Japan alone making at only the 5th console to do so (behind the Nintendo DS, Nintendo Game Boy/Colour, Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 2). So Xbox’s recent success doesn’t and probably will never come close to how successful Nintendo has been in Japan over the last 20 years.

Microsoft have no sign of letting up in their journey to win over the Asian market with their renewed direction in Xbox Cloud Gaming. Japan has always favoured mobile gaming so access to Xbox games on iOS and Android could win over some of the hardcore Nintendo fan base.

Globally, Xbox Series X/S have been widely successful as from Microsoft’s financial results from last year they showed Xbox hardware revenues were up 166% compared to the same period last year, which might not come as a surprise since Xbox One sales were tailing off and an increase in revenue from the gaming side with Xbox’s content doing very well.

Call of Duty: Vanguard‘s multiplayer experience is free for all players to access for a week!

Activision has opened up access for players on all platforms to try the latest Call of Duty title Vanguard‘s multiplayer game mode for a week starting NOW!!! through to the 24th May. Alongside this promotion, they have dropped a brand new multiplayer map Mayhem which is set in a 1950s Monster set. This all coincides with the juggernaut that is Warzone, the event currently ongoing is Operation Monarch unleashing King Kong and Godzilla onto the mammoth battle royale map Caldera.

Pick up Call of Duty: Vanguard today!!!

• Buy the game for Xbox
• Buy the game for PS5

This is not the first and won’t be the last time Activision will give free access to Vanguard this year with a two week long free period that already happened in April. Vanguard has not been a success by any means, with poor reception from players, a decrease in sales by 40% in comparison to the previous title Black Ops Cold War and a pure lack of excitement for another World War II shooter. Despite still being one of the best selling games of 2021, Call of Duty: Vanguard posted the worst franchise launch since 2007 for the FPS series in some regions, the series had been on an upwards trajectory with the huge release of 2019’s Modern Warfare, followed by the battle royale Warzone. However, Vanguard appears to have not “clicked” in terms of sales compared to other recent launches. So it is understandable that Activision are starting to push towards promoting the next release in the Call of Duty series Modern Warfare 2 with possible trailers for the upcoming game appearing very soon, want to know more about it read one of our other articles about Modern Warfare 2 here!

Battlefield 2042 Season 1 is currently set for release in early June.

DICE‘s troubled title Battlefield 2042 finally has a release date for it’s battle pass-style upcoming Season 1 update. Early June is the time but it can’t ever be set in stone with the quite frankly horrible start to Battlefield’s life cycle. Even before release this game has been in a downward spiral, with the open beta last summer that gave everyone access to try the game early being pretty much unplayable to multiple delays to the initial release date of the game Battlefield has taken many many hits but DICE and EA are trying to turn this around with multiple hotfixes and patches to build up to the release of Season 1.

• Buy Battlefield 2042 on Xbox!!!
• Buy Battlefield on PS5!!!

Season 1 is DICE and EA‘s attempt to copy the unbelievable success of Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone‘s battle pass, a live service with plenty of features and unlockables for gamers to earn whilst playing with friends and against others in online competitive modes. Battlefield 2042 has taken such a reputation hit over the last 6 months with players leaving in droves with the PC edition of the game dropping below 1,000 concurrent players in April, a truly shocking amount from such a popular run of titles, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefield 1, 4 and 5 all being massive successes for DICE and their publisher EA.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson was quoted last week.

This is one of the great franchises of our industry, built by one of the great teams in the industry, and our expectations are it’s going to continue to grow and be a really important part of our portfolio for many, many years to come.

This comes after many fans suggesting that EA and DICE have given up the crumbling franchise after flagship Halo Infinite was released with fans loving the newest addition to the long running franchise. Andrew Wilson had denied claims that Halo Infinite made Battlefields issues look more prominent after Halo’s impromptu release of a free multiplayer for all Xbox players.

Through all the stumbles EA are hell bent on sticking with Battlefield 2042 with multiple quality of life updates and listening to fans requests to add features that were expected such as a dynamic leaderboard to check on your stats mid-game(something that should’ve been featured since release). So does the future finally look bright for Battlefield 2042.

Sony confirm three new colours for the PlayStation 5 console will release starting next month!

The PlayStation 5’s outlandish design caught the eye of many when it released in November 2020 but a lot of the player base who were lucky enough to get their hands on the ultra rare machine wanted more choice with the colour of the console. In January, they dropped Midnight Black and Cosmic Red with the new three colours finally on the horizon. PS5 owners can swap the face plates themselves to give it a new fresh look.

Alongside Midnight Black and Cosmic Red, the three new colours are Nova Pink, Starlight Blue and Galactic Purple. The revolutionary DualSense controller is also getting a makeover matching the colours that the PlayStation console is getting. But unlike the console the new coloured controllers will reportedly come with improved parts to prevent stick drift and users can check a code on the back of the controller to verify that it has the new parts.

Sony is yet to reveal special edition custom designed PlayStation 5 consoles whereas the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro over their lifespan had uniquely designed consoles around the flagship games of the time such as Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man. But with options for PlayStation 5 owners starting to become more vast their is an increasing worry that the shape and design of said console could change over the next 18 months like the PS4 and PS4 Pro having multiple design changes over the 7 predominant years of it’s life. Some gamers do want to see a change in console design as it’s novel, impractical and rather large design in comparison to it’s main competitor the Xbox Series X, fans want to see a slimmer more sleek design to appear in the future. Controversy has been lingering over the choice of colours as when the PlayStation 5 console was released many fans were begging for third party accessory makers including Dbrand to provide black face plates to replace the white ones. Sony are known for not working well with others as they sent a cease and desist to Dbrand forcing them to stop selling them immediately aggravating many fans, it’s taken them 18 months after release of the console for them to finally move into the market of giving us a choice of colours.

Have you been able to get your hands on the PlayStation 5?

Do you like the new colours?

Are you happy that the controller will be improved?

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick discusses the troubles of including real life brands into the ever expanding world of GTA online

Brand Collaborations are all the range in the video game world these days, with the likes of Fortnite, Fall Guys and the assortment of sports games such as FIFA and NBA 2K all jumping on the brand integration train with success so it’s surprise that probably the biggest video game of the past decade Grand Theft Auto V that doesn’t wasn’t to go with the wave of other games. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has suggested that players shouldn’t expect to see any brand inclusion anytime soon.

The world of GTA is a fictional world, so to bring real-life brands in, they really have to be iconic and they have to fit within that world, Zelnick says.

It’s very much a creative decision driven by the team at Rockstar. It’s not a financial decision.

Zelnick said NBA and PGA (games that are under the Take-Two umbrella) lend themselves to big clothing brands while GTA Online is a fictional world and to add real life brands to that they have to be iconic and fit within that world. The GTA Series and the online section of the game has always been known for parodying brands and pop culture moments so to add real life brands would look out of place in the vibrant land of Los Santos.

• Pick up GTA on PS5 now!!!!!

The real question is, does GTA need to include real life brands into their ever changing world? the answer is…no, as of time of writing GTA has made over $6 billion. An obscene number that companies around the world couldn’t even imagine let alone from one singular game that came out in 2013. GTA 5‘s wider success is largely down to GTA Online, making $800 million on shark cards alone, the player base can buy in-game currency with these shark cards to buy property, clothes and cars in the world. In it’s latest full-year earnings report Take-Two claimed that GTA 5 has shipped over 165 million copies of the game since it’s release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, lasting through 3 generations of consoles including Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

The GTA train keeps on rolling with the GTA Trilogy: the Definitive Edition was released last November with remastered versions of industry changing titles of GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas but it came with largely negative reviews because of the poor state the game was released with many glitches some of them crashing the game. But the shining light is with improvements and many patches being introduced over the last couple of months the game has been an enjoyable experience for many and the Trilogy capitalises on the one thing that gamers love, nostalgia!

Nintendo have scored a winning goal with their newest title Nintendo Switch Sports topping the UK Charts for the past three weeks.

Nintendo seems to have grabbed the attention from Switch players across the country with a truly action packed title. Nintendo Switch Sports has even stood above other beloved Nintendo exclusive titles such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Also leapfrogging two powerhouses, LEGO Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga that had been keeping the Nintendo’s off top spot and PlayStation exclusive Horizon: Forbidden West, this new title has really hit it out of the park…apologies for the pun.

• Get Nintendo Switch Sports Now!

The highly requested Wii sports sequel Nintendo Switch Sports brings a familiar assortment of sports to play with your friends and others from around the world online with Badminton, Bowling, Football, Tennis, Volleyball and Chambara (basically a sword fighting game with whole range of attacks and dual wielding, multiple ways to take out an opponent). If proof is needed that the game has been successful since release it even tops Japan’s video game charts. It seems that time is key with the game facing very little competition with only one other major game being released recently Evil Dead: The Game. Seemingly a slow month for game releases Nintendo will be content with the results of the current UK Charts but maybe not on consistency as Switch Sports has had a 54% drop on week to week sales. May has always been known to be a quiet time in the calendar for gamers so Nintendo Switch Sports could stay at the summit of the charts for longer than expected with no new big games coming until June and July.

With many people still struggling to get their hands on the new PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X and a worldwide pandemic, the Nintendo Switch has become a safe haven for many gamers, selling over 100 million units and becoming Nintendo’s biggest selling console of all time, dwarfing the Nintendo 64, Game Cube and the Wii. Later in the year they will continue to capitalise on their soaring popularity by releasing more long awaited titles such as Mario Strikers: Battle League, Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Make sure to pre-order:

• Mario Strikers: Battle League
• Splatoon 3
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3

The post Nintendo Switch Sports tops the charts again! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Activision’s biggest franchise is already garnering hype as they return to the Modern Warfare series with the supposed date for their trailer, alpha test and possible release date being leaked!

Well, it’s the time of year again! the Call of Duty hype train arrives with many ready for a big improvement after the failures of the two previous titles, Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard. As many have fallen out of favour with the FPS genre Activision and Infinity Ward are hoping to turn their fortunes around with the sequel to the highly successful Modern Warfare (released in 2019).

On April 28th, Infinity Ward revealed to the world the logo for the upcoming title and had fans wanting more information.

They’re reports suggesting that some snippets and teasers of the game could be revealed as soon as the 2nd June, this has surprised many because fans thought they would expect to wait until Summer Game Fest 2022 which starts the following week (10th June) for all the information. Following the teasers a suspected official reveal trailer will arrive on the 8th June with huge details on the games campaign being revealed at the Summer Game Fest. Great news for fans as we are not that far away from news coming our way.

As we power through the summer of games being revealed and release dates being pushed back, game developers will need you to turn that console on and test their games out for them with public Alpha and Beta tests. The Call of Duty Franchise have always had tests to make sure their game is full functioning before release, rumours are that a possible Alpha test for Modern Warfare 2 could be dropping mid-August. For the last 5 years PlayStation have had a contract with Activision where the platform will get new and exclusive content before the competitors and that will continue up until 2023, so if you are on the PlayStation 5 you could get your hands on Modern Warfare 2 before anyone else. But for Xbox gamers don’t be down because you will also get your hands on the tests possibly weeks after Sony players and with Microsoft’s gigantic acquisition of Activision for $68 million, Call of Duty’s exclusivity contract will probably be on the Xbox platform after 2023.

The reported release date for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is October 2022.

No news if Infinity Ward will continue to release their games on the old generation consoles with Xbox One and PS4 players increasingly worried on the silence from Activision’s side of things. Lastly, the big blockbuster game mode Warzone that kept us all enthralled through the last couple of years could be getting a sequel following the games release. The latest rumour is that Warzone 2 could be releasing late 2022 or most likely early 2023.
