I know this collaboration has been rumored before, but I can now confirm the collaboration is in the works and is happening!When Epic was launching its current Chapter 5, Avatar was said to appear in the games open-world mode and was supposed to be tied to the larger metaverse that Fortnite has currently become. However back then the crossover couldnt happen.Since multiple leaks hint at this collab, fans are wondering how the tall blue aliens from Pandora will be implemented in the game. One such fan wrote, This is gonna hit differently. Another one said, This was already announced alongside the Disney metaverse mode.Since Disney hasnt yet confirmed it, nor Epic if Avatar will be a part of their upcoming joint metaverse, fans very much hope to see a version of the planet Pandora in Fortnite.

Another user said, Called this, and Im absolutely thrilled that Demon Slayer is coming. One of my favorite shows and Epic better do 2 waves of this and add a lot of skins from the series. Theres so much potential here. Even using the swords as mythics with different techniques.A third fan commented, Chapter 6 is destined to be one of the greatest. Another replied, I remember voting for it in the survey for what I heard about.While all the leaks point towards Chapter 6 bringing a lot of Japanese influence to Fortnite, it is also quite possible that another collab that ties in perfectly with Demon Slayer, which is with Cyberpunk 2077 may finally arrive in the game.

Check out how we test and review games hereFortnite is growing each day in terms of player count and activity since Epic is riding the throwback wave quite hard with launches like Season OG, Reload mode, and now the Chapter 2 Remix season. While the game has progressed over these seven years, players still hold a soft corner for the OG days when Fortnite used to be simpler and full of fun gameplay elements.One of the most beloved gameplay features that Fortnite accidentally added was the Double Pump meta where players could stack two Pump Shotguns right next to one another in their inventory and switch between them instantly while firing a shot. This gave birth to the games most broken weapon feature.But the fun lasted only a while after Epic removed it and forever changed the Pump Shotgun to a newer model that fired like most shotguns in shooter games would do. But now Epic has announced the return of the meta in its upcoming game mode which has shaken the entire community to its core.Fortnite brings back Double Pump meta with OG mode next monthFortnite has finally announced that the Double Pump meta will return with the upcoming OG Chapter 1 Season 1 mode on December 6, 2024. Furthermore, the mode is also bringing back the old Pump Shotgun weapon model which will feature the same firing experience and gameplay as it used to when the game was launched.The Double Pump is coming back in Fortnite. Image by Epic Games.Not just that, the OG Burst Assault Rifle with the old weapon model and Electric Traps (also known as Wall Dynamo) is set to return with the game mode. While many thought this was merely going to be the same experience as Season OG with new weapons, Epic confirms its going to be the authentic OG experience that Fortnite fans have longed for.Upon hearing this news, the entire Fortnite community is in a frenzy, including content creators such as NickEh30 who wrote, New player count records about to be set in December! and SypherPK as well who said, They could never make me hate you Fortnite.Epic has also revealed that the mode will have its own OG Battle Pass which will consist of newer versions of rare skins in Fortnites history.

Right from Marvel, DC, and Star Wars, to iconic musical artists like Eminem, the games metaverse has slowly turned into a space where most entertainment entities collide and allows fans to express their fandom on the looped island.One such entity whose fandom has spanned decades is Godzilla as fans have gotten some of the best films in the past year surrounding the character. Now the latest leak has revealed in the next Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, where the island is rumored to be Japanese-themed, Godzilla might finally be added to the game.Godzilla x Fortnite collab leaked to release in Chapter 6A potential leak and speculation around the Fortnite community has revealed that Paramounts Monsterverse is engaging in a collab with Epics Battle Royale to bring Godzilla into the game, alongside simultaneously doing another crossover with Rocket League.Monsterverse logo was spotted in new Rocket League teaser. Image by Psyonix.The speculation comes across as a Monsterverse logo was spotted on one of the arcade machines in the upcoming Rocket League season 17 teaser. According to leaker SamLeaks, Monsterverse could be collaborating with Fortnite and Rocket League, and now, in the new RL S17 Teaser, you can see the Monarch Logo on one of the arcade machines, which confirms this collab.Godzilla was earlier rumored to appear in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 when Mega City POI had a robot dragon sitting on top of the buildings and breathing fire every few seconds. However, the collab did not occur at that point which disappointed many fans.Now since theres a potential possibility of the mythical monster to appear in Fortnite, players have mixed thoughts. One such player said, Needs to be a Godzilla skin and a Mothra glider. Another one wrote, Id prefer classic Toho Godzilla (and other Kaiju), but Ill take it.Right now take this speculation with a grain of salt as the collab could also just result in vehicle decals which might further disappoint optimistic fans.

In the past, popular games like Halo, God of War, Borderlands, and Metal Gear Solid have collaborated with Fortnite, bringing iconic characters as in-game skins.However, some games which are widely popular and highly requested by the community such as Five Nights at Freddys and Cyberpunk 2077 havent been added yet, until now. One of these games is now rumored to join hands with Epic in an exclusive collab with Fortnite which will be added pretty soon in the game.Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite to collab in latest leak for Rocket LeagueIn the latest Rocket League Season 17 teaser, a logo of Quadra, Cyberpunk 2077s vehicle was spotted which led to further speculations by leakers such as SamLeaks that the collab will also arrive in Fortnite.Cyberpunk 2077s Quadra will soon be a vehicle in Fortnite. Image by VideoGamer.In their latest post, Sam wrote, CONFIRMED: We will be getting a Cyberpunk Vehicle in the Rocket League and Fortnite Collab .Quadra can be seen in the new RL Season 17 Teaser, which is a popular car brand from the game. It might be the Quadra Type-66 Avenger, as a leaked car texture lines up with this.Usually, every vehicle that gets added to Rocket League makes an appearance in Fortnite, like the latest Porsche 911 and the upcoming Lightning McQueen. Hence the speculation ties up perfectly with the fact that Quadra will soon become a vehicle in Rocket Racing and Fortnite Battle Royale.However, fans who wish the collab brought more had their own thoughts. One such fan said, My baby. My V8 goodness. Gimme my Type-66. Another one wrote, Will there be cyberpunk skins in Fortnite? A third user shared a GIF of Johnny Silverhand and said theyd want this to be a goal explosion in Rocket League.While a collab featuring characters seems quite far-fetched, adding some cool vehicles from Night City would be ideal given the upcoming Chapter 6 will be centered around the Japanese theme which may be as futuristic as Mega City from Chapter 2.

This time, Epic Games will release two seasonal passes, as well as passes for Festival and LEGO modes. Interestingly, all of these will be included with the Crew subscription, which will keep the same price. However, the cost of the next Battle Pass will change, the Fortnite creator revealed.This will be the first time the pass changed the price in seven years. The price of the 25-level bundle will also change and will receive another discount.Fortnite Battle Pass will cost more starting in December 2024For more than 30 seasons, the price of the Battle Pass was 950 V-Bucks. However, that will change. Epic announced a price increase on the games blog, revealing that it would cost 1,000 V-Bucks starting December 1. This is certainly not a significant increase, especially since the smaller bundle of V-Bucks includes 1,000 of them.Interestingly, the 25-level bundle will be 50 V-Bucks cheaper. Its usual price is 1,850, but starting with Chapter 6, you will be able to buy it for 1,800. Whats even more surprising is that Fortnite Crew will include all four passes at the same price. Furthermore, the streamlined leveling system will allow you to level up in all of them at the same time.Fortnite Crew will get a massive upgrade with the next season. Image by VideoGamerEpic Games is also adding the OG Pass next month. This pass will likely contain remixed skins from Chapter 1 Season 1 and will launch on December 6. The company hasnt revealed many details about it yet, but we expect more information before its launch. This will be a separate seasonal pass, although it will be included with the purchase of Fortnite Crew.The next Fortnite season will launch on December 1, while the OG mode will go live five days after.

In the games latest SteamDB update, numerous files relating to The Illuminate gameplay have been moved by developer Arrowhead.Illuminate files flood Helldivers 2Following massive leaks for upcoming mission types and even Illuminate-themed weapons for the enemies eventual arrival, Arrowhead has merged a tonne of files featuring the psychic aliens in the latest HD2 changelist.Found on SteamDB here, a large list of files named gameplay_illuminates have changed depot as of November 22, 2024 at 9:48:43 UTC. At the time of writing, that change happened around six hours ago.Some of the files have been added as DLC, potentially being part of an additional download such as previously leaked weapons skins or some exclusive armour. The launch version of Helldivers 2 did feature a few small DLC-exclusive cosmetics for those who wished to support Arrowhead, but its not been confirmed if additional purchases are coming.More exciting is the amount of files that have not been marked as DLC, potentially meaning that the arrival of The Illuminate is closer than many think. Since the start of the Democracy Space Station storyline, fans have assumed that the new Super Earth landmark of destruction would end up attracting the third faction, and it looks like that might be right.With Helldivers 2 now boasting over 15 million players and becoming an award-winning multiplayer title, it would be a great time to bring the games next enemy type to the game. As some players tire of fighting bugs and bots, a brand-new alien presence would be amazing.

Check out how we test and review games hereFortnite introduces new items each season, both cosmetic and gameplay that often get mixed reviews by the player community. A year ago with the launch of Chapter 5, when Epic introduced Instruments with Fortnite Festival which was poorly received by the community and was deemed useless given the hefty price tag they came with.A similar case was when Epic also released vehicles for Rocket Racing mode and sold them for a price as high as 2,800 V-Bucks in the Item Shop. However, that too was forgiven over time since they enabled some of those to have cross-ownership with Rocket League.Now another cosmetic item has appeared in the game that seemed exciting and promising at first, but when they were put up for sale, players started slamming them as a total ripoff.Fortnite players pass on new Kicks cosmetics due to absurd price tagFortnite has finally added the new Kicks cosmetic item to the game with its latest 32.11 patch, which at present supports 524 outfits. These footwear items are digital models of real-life Nike and Jordan shoes that fans can get in the game and assign to their favorite skin.Kicks are priced at 800 V-Bucks and up in Fortnite shop. Image by VideoGamer.Back when they were announced players were excited to try these out with their locker skins, but when they hit the Item Shop, the pricing of 800 V-Bucks and upwards threw a lot of fans off guard. While you can still get the OG Air Jordan 1s from the Fortnite Battle Pass for free, if you want to get more Kicks in the game, youll have to pay the price in V-Bucks which almost comes close to a low-tier skin.Upon seeing this, players slammed Kicks for being a total ripoff and not adding any value to the current locker they already have. One such fan wrote, 300-600 Vbucks sounds more reasonable. This s**t pricing at the moment aint gonna work.Another chimed in, Yeah those prices are a huge dump joke. A third user added, Crazy how we get Lego styles for free but shoes cost 600-100. Makes no sense.While the debate among the community around Kicks has just begun, Fortnite is also offering a free emote to celebrate the cosmetic release that you can claim for a limited time in-game.

Well, there could be a solution to that, at least for the aging simulator FM 2019. An awesome, overlooked fan-made mod allows you to stand on the touchline and watch your team in action, bringing a Football Manager first-person experience that the official games dont do.Football Manager in first-person?While some games let you experience the view of your players, watching simulated matches from the eyes of, well, a Football Manager. With this mod, you can watch your players engage in the beautiful game while using the mouse, you can swivel your virtual head to the left and right, so make sure you dont miss any of the action.The mod, which we spotted on FM Scout, can be downloaded now, for those who fancy giving it a go, but proceed with some caution. For one, reading the game will be incredibly difficult, so while its certainly a step in the right direction from an immersion perspective, should such a viewpoint arrive in FM 24 or even the massively delayed FM 25, it would certainly need a few tweaks.

While rough and ready, perhaps a hybrid mode allowing players to zoom into this view with a mini-map detailing the hard-to-see action could work?Theres still no concrete release date for FM 25, other than we are expecting the new entry to arrive in March 2025. The game had originally been penned for a Q4 2024 release but was delayed last minute after developer Sports Interactive admitted it wasnt to the level they expected.

Check out how we test and review games hereChinese developer Team Jade is hard at work on the early access version of Delta Force, a new free-to-play tactical shooter launching on Steam on December 5, 2024. While the game has been compared to the likes of Black Ops 6 and Battlefield, design director Ricky Liao wants gamers to know that the team isnt attempting to compete with the giants of the industry.In an interview with VideoGamer, Liao explained that the team isnt looking to compete with Call of Duty, Battlefield or any other shooter. Instead, the Tencent-backed project is aiming to craft an entirely unique space in the free-to-play market, first on PC and later on mobile and console.Delta Force isnt competingWhile comparisons will always be drawn between one FPS game and another, Liao explained that the team doesnt see other shooters as competition, especially CoD. Despite loving Call of Duty, the team behind the new free-to-play shooter doesnt want comparisons that dilute whats special about their upcoming game.CoD is one of my favorite franchises, Liao said. We dont see other shooters as our competitors, especially CoD. When you look at the kind of gameplay experiences you see in Delta Force, its actually very different from your typical CoD experience. So, our ultimate goal is to create a game thats fun and fresh that also challenges the players tactical mind.While Delta Force is decidedly more casual than the series original 90s entries, the team has worked hard to make sure it is more tactical in nature. From its gunplay to its wide open maps, the new free-to-play game aims to have a realistic tone than other shooters on the market.We used to play Delta Force when we were kids, so it was a huge privilege and motivation for the entire team to work on a new Delta Force game, Liao said. It was a game that needed to be played with a brain, and not a pure arcade game. When we started working on Delta Force, we established our first rule that its very important the new Delta Force game should be a tactical game, that players need to really play both with their hands and also with their brain.However, Liao explained that bringing the series back did require some changes instead of transplanting decades-old gameplay systems with modern visuals.We also need to be mindful that the last Delta Force game was fifteen years ago, they said. If we fully recreate that kind of experience, the control, the movement, the animation, it wont really be an experience thats suitable for the modern gaming landscape.Despite this, the team is aiming to keep the core identity of the FPS series, bringing back big battlefields and tactical gunplay and a slower pace than, say, Call of Duty. It might not be as hardcore as the series debut games, butFor more on the upcoming free-to-play FPS game, read about the teams thoughts on the FPS game cancer that is the surge of cheating online.The game launches on Steam later this year, but a console version is in the works for Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, PS5 and mobile.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

After all, not many people care too much if youre zooming past them at 200 miles per hour. But with the PS5 Pro and PC gaming now actually hitting 8K fidelity, low detailed assets are now far easier to spot, and risk standing out and jarring when everything else around them is so realistic. F1 devs vow to improve crowdsIn the latest episode of the VideoGamer Podcast, we sat down with F1 24s Simon Lumb, technical producer at Codemasters, who revealed the team is now actively looking at improving these furniture assets as a result of fidelity and technology improving. The decision about how do you populate crowds, how do you improve the look, the feel, the realism, its all part of an authenticity pass, he said.We want to improve to our crowds, Lumb added. Theres opportunities to take the graphics technology thats always moving forward to give us better looking crowds, so its definitely something we talk about and hopefully we see some updates in future titles. Now weve got 8K, the fidelity, the resolution and what you can see in the crowds really increases. its definitely something we talk about and hopefully we see some updates in future titles.Simon LumbLumb also explained that while improved crowds may be something coming along in the future, there are already signifiacnt changes relating to in-game fences designed to make the most out of the new resolution. We tuned it (the fences) really effectively for 4K view but you add 8K to that and you kind of double that resolution, he said. You can see at what point the fences need to change because now we can see further. At that point, the art team saw it, took a look at it and agreed that it needed to reqork the fences. F1 has a lot of fences, so you rework that, you lift the whole game, you bring new fidelity.While F1 25 is still some time away, the PS5 Pro version of the F1 24 certainly makes use of the PS5 Pros beefed up hardware. Lumb mentioned that PSSR was too good to turn down in this years game, and told us that this is just the start of the journey exploring the newer, more powerful technology.F1 24Platform(s):PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Series XGenre(s):RacingSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

In our review, we called the new survival game Stalker through and through with the same strengths but also weaknesses as its predecessors, and developer GSC Game World are aware of that.In an open letter to fans, the developer explained that there are rough edges present in the game on launch, but the studio is dedicated to improving the title long into the future. Alongside the usual fixes, the team is also committed to bringing free content to the game in a host of future updates.Stalker 2 devs admit rough edgesIn the letter to fans, GSC Game World explains that the massive world of its survival game sequel still has rough edges that fans will encounter.We literally havent released anything of this scale before. Were absolutely committed to being here, monitoring your feedback, and quickly fixing any issues that need our attention. In the first days after release, well be working with hotfixes, rolling them out as precisely as possible, but as frequently as we can.The studio explained that after these upcoming fixes, the team will shift to larger updates that include constant improvements. In December, fans will get access to a content roadmap that includes new features, massive improvements and free in-game content for players.This is a project of endless love and passion from the entire team, the developer said. We genuinely believe this is felt throughout youll feel it in the handcrafted world, youll feel it in the laboratory and in the poppy fields, or during your first emission, or intense battle with a bloodsucker, or the stylish reload of your new fun, or first seeing Pripyat under the moonlight. There are so many things in the game that we are incredibly proud of.Now available on PC and Xbox Series, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is undoubtedly a mixed bag of a game, but its also going to be a love it or hate it title, and undoubtedly will be a cult classic years into the future.

Check out how we test and review games here Contents hide The arrival of Omnimovement in Call of Duty is the most significant change to Activisions shooter series in recent years. In multiplayer and Warzone battle royale matches, you have the ability to sprint, slide, and dive in any direction giving you the perfect opportunity to navigate the maps like a Hollywood action hero. Following the systems integration into Warzone alongside the entire weapon arsenal, those dropping into Urzikstan and Area 99 were quick to notice Omnimovement wasnt as smooth as its multiplayer counterpart. Thankfully, the developers have already made adjustments much to the delight of the biggest content creators out there.Warzone movement changes given seal of approvalNestled within the November 19 patch notes for Black Ops 6 multiplayer and Warzone, Treyarch and Raven Software showcased the areas it has improved in order to ensure Omnimovements fluidity is maintained within matches. Adjustments include a reduction to minimum sprint times for performing a dive to prone which is already proving popular. Shortly after the update went live, Warzone content creator Repullze took to social media to express his excitement surrounding the change. Fellas, are things actually gonna be different this year? asks the streamer. These changes apply to both Black Ops 6 and Warzone and should result in more responsive movements with fewer occurences where players attempt to dive to prone or slide and instead crouch. We will continue to assess and identify areas for improved fluditiy with Omnimovement.ActivisionWith players loading into matches to notice the changes, the reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Just played a game. The sprint assist delay is gone finally, says one fan. Plenty of others share the same sentiment and are grateful Raven Software and Treyarch are listening and addressing concerns promptly. Is Warzone back?The integration of Black Ops 6 reverted numerous quality-of-life changes that significantly improved Urzikstan during the Modern Warfare 3 cycle, much to the annoyance of players. After addressing the poor audio in an earlier update, it appears the developers are listening and continuously working to fix any issues that arise. The removal of Rebirth Island due to map-specific problems was another step in the wrong direction for the battle royale but with the Black Ops 6 era in its infancy, theres still plenty of time for Warzone to return to its glory days especially with Verdansk coming back in 2025.Before you drop into your next game, take a look at when the next double XP weekend is taking place so you can rank up as fast as possible.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

This progression system offers a variety of rewards every season, including skins, and is relatively easy to complete. On top of that, it costs less than an average skin, making it affordable for everyone. However, the system is completely changing next season, and Epic Games revealed all the details about it.Earlier this year, Epic made seasonal passes non-exclusive, so its no surprise that were getting another big change. Once again, this is a positive change that will benefit the community.Fortnite is removing Battle Stars from the seasonal passFor more than five years, Fortnite has used Battle Stars with its seasonal pass. These stars had different functionality over in the first five chapters but were always used for leveling up the pass. When the next chapter comes out, this will no longer be the case. Epic Games is moving away from Battle Stars to make the progression system simpler and more effective.With the release of the Remix season, Epic enabled progression across multiple modes. Thanks to this, it is now possible to level up in Fortnite Festival, LEGO Fortnite, and Battle Royale at the same time. The next chapter will take this a step further by completely removing Battle Stars. Festival Points were also removed with Chapter 2 Remix, while Studs will be gone in Chapter 6 as well.Fortnite Chapter 6 will bring many changes. Image by VideoGamerOnce these earned currencies are retired, the Battle Pass, Music Pass, and LEGO Pass will simply unlock rewards for you to claim as you earn XP.Epic GamesLeveling in Fortnite has become extremely easy in every mode. The upcoming change will make this task even quicker, removing the grind completely from the game. It will be interesting to see if Epic Games will add more rewards to the Battle Pass in the future, as that would motivate players to keep playing more after hitting level 200.

Not everything has been revealed, but a Helldivers 2 developer has guaranteed more mission types are on the way.Theres a lot to be excited about for HD2 judging by leaks that have yet to materialize. More weapons for the Illuminate have been uncovered through datamines, leaks have shown off a mysterious new weapon, and there are also old Dune weapons and armor speculated for a new Warbond.While leaks are a way of knowing whats potentially happening behind-the-scenes, Arrowhead has shared some of their plans for the imminent and far-off future. One of these plans includes extra activities for Helldivers 2 players to enjoy.More mission types are coming to Helldivers 2On the Helldivers Discord, Arrowhead community manager, Twinbeard, was asked if there is any news on new content, patches, reworks on the DSS this month or next.In response, Twinbeard posted, We almost never talk about upcoming content beforehand unless its already announced. He elaborated that Arrowhead are absolutely working on new content, but he didnt reveal exactly when stuff will arrive.Then, in response to a different user, Twinbeard said, I can almost guarantee that more mission types are coming, sooner or later.Image credit: Helldivers DiscordFinally, although the specifics of the new content and extra missions types havent been revealed, Twinbeard eased concerns that anything has been delayed due to issues with the DSS.

Check out how we test and review games here Contents hide The trend of leakers managing to unveil new content ahead of launch has skyrocketed in Call of Duty. Whether its for an upcoming Black Ops 6 season or early intel on the next instalment of Activisions shooter series, those with insider knowledge often share news that ends up generating excitement for Activisions popular FPS series. With Season 1 in full swing and the launch of Ranked Play on the horizon, one notable leaker has called time on revealing details on upcoming updates following constant death threats from gamers. Black Ops 6 leaker stops sharing intelPrior to the launch of Black Ops 6, X user BobNetworkUK shared details on what Treyarch was working on several months before the servers were switched on in addition to announcing Verdansks return to Warzone. On November 19, 2024, the popular CoD insider announced theyre calling quits on leaking unreleased information. I dont intend to return to leaking full-time, the leaker revealed. Ive also closed my DMs. Ive been getting death threats over obvious bait tweets and just the same stupid questions over and over.When confidential information makes it out into the open, Activision is quick to intervene to stop the leaks before the publisher and developer get a chance to showcase their hard work to the passionate fan base. With some fans taking things too far, its no surprise to see insiders stop revealing the intel for all to see.Will Call of Duty leaks stop for good?While Bob wont be leaking Call of Duty intel for a while, there are still plenty of dataminers who sift through the files of the game to see what secrets theyre able to uncover before an update goes live. With Season 1 Reloaded including the arrival of the Citadelle Des Morts Zombies map, information on the next batch of Wonder Weapons is already appearing. According to Zombies leaker alanthethird_90, the next Wonder Weapon is allegedly going to be the Umbral Blade in addition to the return of the iconic Wunderwaffe DG2 which made its debut in Call of Duty: World at War. Of course, its important you take these leaks with a pinch of salt until Treyarch shares more as part of the build-up to the mid-season update. However, with strings relating to the Wonder Weapons appearing within the Black Ops 6 files already, theres a strong chance theres some legitimacy to them.

From the latest Chapter 2 Remix season which brought back the OG island but with new characters and hip-hop icons, to an epic Marvel live event in the previous season, Epic always keeps things exciting for the community.When it comes to whats next, players have their eyes sighted on the Disney collab which is rumored to bring an entirely new mode to Fortnite which will allow fans to experience the brand like never before. As part of that collab, an iconic location from one of the popular Disney films is leaked to arrive in Fortnite and fans cannot wait for it.Fortnite x Disney collab leak shows Radiator Springs from Cars is coming soon as a POIAccording to Fortnite leaks on X and other outlets, Radiator Springs is said to arrive in 2025 when Cars collab will arrive in the game. In the past few months, multiple leaks have surfaced on social media which have shown that Lightning McQueen and other characters from the franchise will be added to Fortnite.Radiator Springs will become a POI in Fortnite soon. Image by Disney.However, it is still unclear to fans if these vehicles will arrive in Rocket Racing or only Battle Royale, similar to the Cadillac Lowriders that are now on the island. If the former is the case, then expect Radiator Springs to be a Rocket Racing map rather than your traditional POI on the Battle Royale island.Regardless, Fortnite fans who were overjoyed by the news had their own two cents on the leak where one user wrote, Probably as a creative map theres no way theyll add it as a POI even though we do have a desert reload map now.Another one chimed in, Maybe as the mini passes during chapter 6, when that update drops itll be a mini poi like the TMNT base. A third user commented, Ive bought Lightning McQueen in Rocket League in advance of his arrival in Fortnite.Since Lightning McQueen is already in Rocket League, currently theres no info if cross-ownership of that vehicle will be carried over to Fortnite when the collab hits Battle Royale. However, well keep you updated right here if any further developments on this iconic Disney collab take place.

While not all datamined content will become reality, Arrowhead has claimed in a new interview that vehicles will be added soon in Helldivers 2.While we are past the 60-day roadmap of massive buffs, Arrowhead has revealed their intentions for the near future. They are working on improvements for the DSS following poor response from players, meanwhile, they are also looking to fix excessive ragdolling while also revamping the jet pack.As for leaks, datamines have uncovered a mysterious new weapon, and other leaks have revealed old Dune weapons and armor possibly reserved for a Premium Warbond. Vehicles were leaked earlier this year, and now Arrowhead has said they will be added soon for Helldivers 2 fans to enjoy.Vehicles will be added soon to Helldivers 2Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani and Helldivers 2 creative director, Johan Pilestedt, recently spoke at Korean gaming conference, G-Star. The interview is posted on Korean outlet, Inven, and it has thankfully been translated on Reddit by user Creepy_Ad3991.During the conference, they were asked if they could talk about wheeled vehicles, armored vehicles, or reconnaissance vehicles.Both Jorjani and Pilestedt initially responded in jest with Pilestedt joking Super Earth is conducting various experiments to improve the mobility of Helldivers. Jorjani also joked Vehicles are too expensive. Super Earth is sensitive to the economics of the battlefield and doubts the driving skills of Helldivers.After also jesting about whether or not Helldivers are old enough to drive, Pilestedt added On a more serious note, vehicle updates are in the plans. It will be added soon, but I dont think I can go into more detail than that.It is a translated interview, so there may be some inaccuracies with specific wording, but the above is good news to hear. Granted, soon is a very loose phrase that has no specific ETA, but at least we know vehicles are officially planned for a future update.There were gameplay leaks of vehicles earlier in the year. Footage still exists on X from Mr_Rebs_, but other gameplay footage has been removed. Either way, vehicles were leaked, and they are officially on the way albeit with no specific release window.For more Helldivers 2, check out our guide to thebest warbonds ranked, along with thebest stratagemsandbest throwables.

This means that players could rock outfits or weapons from Warhammer, Halo and other sci-fi series, as long as it makes sense for the developers.In an interview with Korean outlet Inven, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani revealed that crossovers are being planned at the studio. However, theres still no concrete details on what crossovers the studio is actually working on.Helldivers 2 crossoversSpeaking to Inven, Jorjani explained that the studio is planning crossovers, but Arrowhead doesnt want to oversaturate the game and turn it into a blend of other franchises.We are also planning crossovers (collaborations) with other IPs, Jorjani said. We dont want to do too many crossovers, but we are considering appropriate collaborations that fit the games atmosphere. For example, collaborating with Power Rangers would be difficult in terms of concept, but maybe we could do something like Black Ranger?Arrowhead has not announced any concrete plans for crossovers, but the studio has discussed a few cool ideas for the game. In the interview, the Helldivers 2 devs cited Warhammer and Starcraft as neat possible crossovers, but CCO Johan Pilestedt made sure to note that nothing has been decided yet.Alien seems like a pretty good theme. What do you think? What would be good? asked CEO Shams Jorjani. Bringing in the Zerg from Starcraft would be good, and bringing in Terran Marine weapons would be good too. Something like a Gauss rifle.No matter what gets added, the team is very keen to make sure that every crossover added in future updates fits the game. While crossovers are always cool, series like Call of Duty have ended up destroying their own aesthetic with skins from series like The Boys and even Nicki Minaj.I think we need to be very careful and cautious when applying any skin or cosmetic, Jorjani said. For example, even if I like a certain skin, I dont want it to ruin the game experience of my teammates. I think the whole process has to be done carefully.For more Helldivers 2 content, read about the long-awaited arrival of vehicles in a new update or the scrapped Super Earth city environments found within the game files.Helldivers 2Platform(s):PC, PlayStation 5Genre(s):Action, Shooter, Third Person8VideoGamerSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

However, it turns out that Larian Studios RPG is even more popular in 2024 than it was during its release year.With the arrival of mods and further optimisation of console ports, BG3 is officially more popular than ever before, and there are even stats to prove it.Baldurs Gate 3 popularity has only increasedRevealed by Larian director of publishing Michael Douse, BG3 is more popular than ever. Across 2024, continued sales of the RPG have only led to increased player counts across multiple platforms.Douse revealed that average daily peak concurrents are up 3% this year over last year, attributing increased concurrent player counts to mod support. Alongside this, average daily active users are up 20% over last year.Following the release of multiple optimisation passes with patches, Baldurs Gate 3 has also massively increased its player counts on Steam Deck. While playable on launch, the RPG did suffer from poor FSR support and rough performance in areas on Steam Deck. While some areas still chug (all of Act 3), the game is now far more playable.This has led to a massive explosion in Steam Deck users over the past year with Douse revealing the average daily Steam Deck users are up 61%.As a fun aside, Douse also revealed that the game has officially sold its third copy in Vatican City. With two copies sold in the Holy City already breaking minds, theres now an even higher chance that The Pope has boned Halsin in bear form.For more BG3 content, check out the awesome cut content mod that adds early access areas back into the game or another mod that brings a real-time pandemic into the role-playing game.Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

Check out how we test and review games hereThe first post-launch season of an annual Call of Duty game always marks major changes to Warzone. Whether its a brand-new map or the integration of new weaponry, Season 1 acts as a reset for the battle royale. With Black Ops 6 introducing Omnimovement along with the Area 99 Resurgence map, audio adjustments were met with widespread frustration from players unable to hear nearby opposition in the heat of battle. Thankfully, Raven Software is already addressing the issue making it much easier for you to hear those all-important footsteps.Warzones awful audio is fixedWithin the November 16 patch notes, Raven Software showcased numerous changes designed to improve the latest iteration of Warzone. To fix the sub-standard sounds, the developer has now fixed several issues with occlusion, enemy footstep, ascender, and parachute audio.As a result of the changes, players dropping into the action can now hear players deploying their chutes in addition to their movements if theyre close by. The developer has also confirmed that there are further changes in the works, a huge positive for those ending up in the gulag more often than usual.Our teams are hard at work on additional audio updates, and this is just the first of several steps were taking to improve the Warzone audio experience.Raven SoftwareThe next major Warzone update is likely to be for Season 1 Reloaded, the halfway point of the first post-launch season for Call of Dutys battle royale. The ability to hear everything in your surroundings clearly makes all the difference, especially in Warzone where several players are battling to become the last one standing. Adjusting audio so soon after applying major changes to the game is also a promising sign. Raven Software is no stranger to acknowledging the feedback of the community and its great to see the developer act quickly in a bid to improve the experience for all. With further changes on the horizon, Warzones audio is only going to continue getting better. Audio wasnt the only thing addressed in Warzones November 18 update. The developer applied a nerf to the Stim Shot to stop it from issuing a six-second speed boost alongside its instant health regeneration. Now, the equipment only features a three-second boost resulting in many rethinking how aggressive they can be in close-quarters combat. Warzone has often struggled to strike a balance with its audio. The Modern Warfare 3 era managed to find a range where footsteps could be heard over other sounds, giving players the best possible chance to react to incoming threats. Theres still room for improvement but it could be a while until audio returns to its absolute best.

Another popular collab that didnt get enough limelight at the time was with Alan Wake 2 which brought the protagonist of that game to Fortnite as an Item Shop skin.However, now the director of Alan Wake 2, Sam Lake has shown interest in numerous Fortnite collabs in the future, one of which is as iconic as it gets and has been something that fans want in the game.Sam Lake wants iconic Alan Wake 2 dance to become a Fortnite emoteIn a conversation with IGN, Alan Wake 2 director Sam Lake was asked if he would like to see Max Payne become a Fortnite skin someday, the character he wrote for Rockstar in the early 2000s. To the question, Sam replied, Yeah maybe, I dont know. Maybe, if we pick through the Remedy Connected Universe, I would certainly love to see Alex Casey in Fortnite.Sam Lake wants Herald of Darkness as a Fortnite emote. Image by IGN.To those unaware, Alex is an officer for the FBI in Alan Wake 2 and is modeled after Lake and written by Alan Wake in his novels. Alex is a quite vital character in both Alan Wake games since whatever Wake faces in the games is through his experiences while writing Alex.Moving on, Sam Lake also told IGN, But if there is another thing about Fortnite that I still feel should have been there, I think that the dance choreography of Herald of Darkness definitely should be in Fortnite.Herald of Darkness was one of the most popular dance moments in video game history as it became a viral sensation even to those who werent acquainted with Alan Wake before its sequel. During the release of the game numerous fans had requested Epic to add the dance as an emote in Fortnite, but now that Sam has expressed interest, fans believe it could become a reality soon.One such fan said, Sam Lake really knows what the people want. One of the best people in the gaming industry. Another wrote, Put Casey in Fortnite and I will play the game again. A third user commented, They did it once they can do it again, I need this please, while referring to the requests made by fans for adding the Bye Bye Bye emote.

Players have a new Ultimate to anticipate, two new characters, a new boss, and a host of new skins. While players are head over heels in love with the revealed new outfits already, the unfortunate news is that Nexon will not be changing prices for The First Descendant Season 2 skins.We only have to wait until December 5th for The First Descendant Season 2 release date to arrive. Again, theres two new characters for players to look forward to, and the new Ultimate is Sharen. Aside from what was announced in the developer commentary, Nexon has also revealed a new feature previously kept secret, and the developer is looking to add jiggle physics in the future with appropriate options.In addition, there are big improvements on the way for skins involving body diversity and them no longer being seasonal. While players are happy with the appearance of the costumes, a lot of fans would still like to see price changes for skins.Nexon is not changing the price for skins in The First Descendant Season 2Since the launch of The First Descendant, there has been regular complaints online that skins are overpriced. Not only skins, but there have also been complaints about the way Nexon has handled selling cosmetic dyes.There is good and bad news for TFD Season 2. The good news is that you will be able to buy attachments and components of skins individually, meanwhile, the bad news is that Nexon is not considering a price change to skins overall.On Discord, TFD_PD_Lee was told The new skins for season 2 look awesome but I want to see price changes soon, I really enjoy the game and I want this game a great success but please fix the prices so you can have more players spending and getting player retention. The player ultimately argued in favor of a price decrease by stating Its not the same spending for a 50 dlls skin for 10 people instead of a 15 dlls skin for 50 people.While a lot of players would like to see a price decrease, however minor, the unfortunate news is that a change is not being considered. TFD_PD_Lee explained We [Nexon] currently have no plans to adjust skin prices. Even when skins are converted to universal skins, their prices will remain the same. While some have suggested that a price increase might be acceptable when skins become universal, weve all agreed to maintain the existing prices.The good news is that we wont be getting any price increases, but the bad is that there wont be a decrease. However, in further good news, Nexon plan to continue expanding the availability of skins as rewards (through events, battle passes, boss clears, etc.) rather than purely as paid content.Image credit: The First Descendant DiscordFor more The First Descendant, we have a guide to thebest skills and loadout for Viessa, along with thebest skills, gear, and mods for the hugely popular Bunny.

The looped island provides plenty of resources that help players dominate lobbies and remain the last man standing toward the endgame.To achieve that easily, players would sometimes hire an NPC in the game who would assist them by either pinging enemies around them or even providing them with resources such as ammo and health. However in the latest Remix season, NPCs have been made extinct and in their place, bosses are hireable only if you defeat them.So one Fortnite player did the obvious and got the boss to fight on their side until it turned into a brutal backstabbing moment for them that ultimately cost them the win.Fortnite player slams boss NPCs in Remix season making them lose gamesA Fortnite player named Reeves_Wilmoth shared the incident with a clip on the FortniteBR subreddit where they wrote, Ice Spice is not only the worst addition this season, but also a back stabbing no good bot that cost me a crowned Victory Royale.As a context they shared the video clip of themselves camping on top of a Zipline tower with the hired NPC boss when randomly the boss threw a Chiller Grenade right next to the player, causing them to slide down and get eliminated by fall damage.Fortnite player got thrown off by Ice Spice NPC boss they hired. Image by Reeves_Wilmoth.The player in frustration further said, Im pissed off at this bots mechanics. I enjoy the mythic rifle and the grappler she drops, but her boy had messed me up more than helped me by throwing down damn ice bombs that shoot me 20 feet in the wrong direction every time I shoot at someone, even costing me victory royales like I showed above.

As a solution, one player suggested, Yea I dismiss her every match I win the Shark so shes no longer following me.Another player who faced a similar tragedy shared, She is the absolute worst. It took a whole team of us the other day to figure out how to make her stop throwing ice at us in the middle of nowhere with nobody else around. We tried dancing, we tried everything. It took mad long & we didnt even know what we did to get her to stop. Its best to never have her with you. She is the worst bot ever introduced to the game by far & will likely cost you the match.So the next time you defeat a boss in Fortnite Remix, make sure to dismiss them as a follower if you dont want them hindering your gameplay. To do so on PC, simply press your mouse wheel and click on Dismiss Follower under the Follower Comms wheel. On console, do the similar function by long pressing the left D-Pad.

Along the way, they also faced several life-threatening entities such as Automatons that challenged player skill in every manner they could.Now after the games latest update a DSS (Democracy Space Station) has been added which allows players to complete multiple major orders before its activation. Unfortunately, the addition received negative responses with players pleading with Arrowhead to fix issues with it including its biggest problem with friendly fire.While the companys community manager Twinbeard has assured players of incoming fixes with DSS issues, hes finally revealed the real reason behind them in the first place.Testing process & comms surrounding it has been a step down: Helldivers 2 community manager opens up on DSS failAfter the launch of DSS in Helldivers 2 players are taking to social media platforms such as the Helldivers subreddit and sharing their experiences with the bugs theyve been facing after deploying the station during gameplay.One of the most commonly faced bugs among players is the friendly fire bug, which causes the DSS to wipe out the players entire team rather than focusing on the enemy. While Arrowhead has assured of incoming fixes, Twinbeard has commented when asked why the station wasnt tested enough for bugs before launch.Twinbeard revealed why DSS failed at launch in Helldivers 2.I think that the idea of the DSS and what it can become in the future is awesome and I think it can be utilized for a great many things if things pan out well. I however also think that the testing process and comms surrounding the development cycle has been a step down compared to the recent heights weve seen for HD2, responded Twinbeard.He further added that the team at Arrowhead owns to the errors made and is not sweeping these issues under the rug which are concerning to them as well.Twinhead concluded by saying, The launch of the DSS was flawed, but it can be tweaked and evolved in many different ways. I think and hope its life cycle has just begun.Since Arrowhead has yet to reveal when a hotfix will be deployed to Helldivers 2 to fix the said issues, players should avoid using DSS for the time being, unless, of course, youre looking for hilarious team wipe content for your socials.For more Helldivers 2, check out our guide to thebest warbonds ranked, along with thebest stratagemsandbest throwables.

The free shield adds an extra layer of protection for players who embark on major orders or battle enemies across the galaxy.Players are being given free shield by devs in Helldivers 2. Image by Reddit/WhiteRaven_M.However, players believed this reward was merely to pacify them as a temporary solution to the massive issues going on with DSS. One such player wrote, Titanic is sinking? Thats where flex tape comes in, comparing this reward to a mere useless solution to them taking friendly damage from space stations.Another user chimed in, This is like giving us a snorkel for a tsunami and I find that absolutely hilarious. A third user said, Im sorry, but I cant help but laugh about this whole ordeal. Yeah, the devs really fumbled with this station, but the fact that weve been working towards this, excited about this station bringing absolute dominance on the enemy, only for it to kill us in the end is hilarious.Arrowhead has assured players that theyre working on these issues in addition to the fixes needed with excessive ragdolling,revamping the jet pack, and adding to theGalactic War Map.

With the release of Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass, Epic Games decided to change its playbook regarding exclusive items. Due to this, Battle Passes will return in the future, and anyone will be able to purchase them. As a result, many players are wondering if this affects older seasonal passes as well.Epic has revealed a lot of details regarding Fortnite Battle Pass exclusivity, and thanks to a recent post on the companys website, we now know if the older passes will return.Will older Battle Passes return to Fortnite in the future?Exclusivity is a big part of Fortnite Battle Royale. Many players want to have limited-time items that will not be available in the future. This is what the Battle Pass was all about, but things have changed since August 2024. Seasonal passes are no longer exclusive, although they still give many benefits, including early access to cosmetics.This ground-breaking change made the community believe that the older passes would stop being exclusive as well. However, that is not the case, the Fortnite developer clarified. The exclusivity change will only affect Battle Passes released after August 7, 2024, starting with Chapter 5 Season 4.Any Battle Passes released after August 7th, 2024 will be impacted by this change. Any Battle Passes released prior to August 7th, 2024 will not be impacted by this change.Epic GamesOlder Fortnite cosmetics, such as Black Knight, will remain exclusive. Image by VideoGamerWhile Epic Games wont bring older Battle Passes back to Fortnite, we expect the company to release many remixed skins in the future. This has been the case for the past few years and is a decent way of redesigning older skins and bringing them back without affecting their exclusivity.With Fortnite Chapter 1 returning permanently in December 2024, Epic will likely design new remixed skins. After all, the Season 2 Battle Pass is one of the most popular seasonal passes, and many players would love to own classic skins such as Black Knight and Blue Squire.

On socials, Nexon has been teasing additions to TFD via the second chapter, but now they have fully pulled the curtain aside through a pre-recorded developer commentary. Here you will find The First Descendant Season 2 release date along with the confirmed new playable characters, new Ultimate, and the official roadmap. Ahead of the S2 reveal, Nexon announced a lot of exciting additions for TFD fans to anticipate. Nexon is adding jiggle physics soon with appropriate options, and the developer is also conducting a rework for an appealing character that is massively popular within the community. In addition, right now players can redeem a new code for massive rewards in celebration of Nexons 30th anniversary. We only have to wait a few weeks for The First Descendant Season 2 release date to arrive, and now we officially know the roadmap, new characters, and upcoming Ultimate. The First Descendant Season 2 release date The First Descendant Season 2 release date is December 5th. This was confirmed by Nexon before their pre-recorded developer commentary. S1 was a lot of fun with the introduction of Hailey and Ultimate Freyna, and S2 should be even better as we are getting two new Descendants instead of just one, and we are getting another Ultimate that should supersede Freyna. In addition to these new big additions, Nexon is adding a new Vulgan Legion Boss. Its described as Much bigger than the other Vulgus, and, not only is it bigger, but its weapons change for each phase, making for varied combat.Per the developer commentary, it fights with a handgun and shield, but, when the phase changes, it splits the shield in two and uses it as a melee weapon. Then, for the final phase, it pulls out two handguns and uses both of them to fight. TFD Season 2 new charactersOne of the new playable characters for The First Descendant Season 2 is Keelan. This is the male who superficially resembles the MARVELs Blade because of his shades and style. In the developer commentary, it was revealed Keelan is a Descendant assigned to H.O.U.N.D, a search unit mainly deployed in Void Operations. They are a specialized search unit tasked with searching and, if necessary, seizing control of spaces found in the Void. As for gameplay, he has Toxic abilities that can be used while airborne, and can pierce enemies with his dash skill. Arguably the best aspect of the Season 2 reveal is that players will be able to recruit a German shepard dog companion named Fellow. You will be able to interact with the dog through various means such as petting, shaking hands, and high-fives. There are also other bizarre, but great, interactions like playing the conga.As if a dog companion wasnt enough, you will also be able to customize them in four different compartments: fur, body skin, torso attachments, and head attachments. Nexons other new Descendant for Season 2 is a female named Ines Raya. She is someone who works with Kaleen, and she uses the Electric attribute. She is also a character who specializes in AoE combat. Nexon confirmed she has a different body type like Hailey, too, and she will be added in week 7, meaning she will not be playable right away unlike Kaleen. Image credit: NexonNew UltimateThe new Ultimate is Sharen and it will have two skins. There is a default skin and then another that thankfully does not come with a helmet or mask. During the commentary, the devs said the skin resembles something from science fiction, like Ghost in the Shell. For Sharen, there will be two new Ultimate skill modules. The first module is Area Supression, and this enhaches her AoE abilities and grants her the ability to throw shortswords in a 360-degree circle around her. The other module is called Ambushed. It increases the effectiveness of stealth by increasing her movement speed and reducing the cooldown of skills used while in stealth. In addition, if you kill an enemy while in stealth, it re-triggers stealth, so you have a mechanic that almost allows for infinite stealth.

Armed with full immersive controls, a new Silent Hill 2 VR mod might just be the most terrifying game available on PC.Silent Hill 2 VR can go join MaryCreated by prolific VR modder PrayDog, Silent Hill 2 VR cleverly uses the modders UEVR tool to bring six degrees of movement to the game. Alongside being fully immersed via a VR first-person perspective, the mod also brings full movement controls to the game.This means that players now have to physically swing their wooden planks and rusty pipes at enemies and manually peak around corners to pop a nurse in the shin with a pistol. While the game doesnt have the full manual reloading of actual VR games, at least for now, its the most realistic SH2 experience yet.Due to the amazing gameplay of Silent Hill 2 on a flatscreen, the UEVR version is perfectly suited for virtual reality. As enemies react depending on where the player hits them, you can actually use your makeshift bat to sweep enemies in the legs to knock them down, a move previously only available with the power of a gunshot.While we have yet to try out the VR mod, and were not sure we want to, Praydogs UEVR turns an already terrifying game into an absolute nightmare.

Players who have upgraded to the new console have been checking out the game and have found nothing different compared to the games previous state. It makes you wonder what is going on was the patch even deployed, or is it just that lacklustre?Was Black Ops 6 even updated for PS5 Pro?All signs point to a big fat no. While the game was confirmed to be supported along with the consoles launch on November 7, players havent noticed any major differences between the regular PS5 version and the PS5 Pro version of the game.Some have taken to social media and forums to inform others, like VictorDude on Reddit: So the PS5 Pro got delivered today and I set it up, installed CoD, but I cant really find what the enhancements are for the game. I used the same LG C3 OLED in the 120hz mode with the old PS5, but the resolution looks the same (still some slightly jagged edges around straight lines like fences, etc).Similarly, Krgwoww noticed much of the same with their version: Gotta say, I was excited to play BO6 on the Pro, but the 120hz mode seems like Im playing in 1440p or less? I really was expecting something more crisp Of course not native 4k but Im pretty sure my RTX 3080 can do better than this on PC.So whats the deal with that? Apparently, Black Ops 6 wasnt even updated for Pro yet. As it currently stands, all you get from the PS5 Pro upgrade are the hardware improvements that come from the new console compared to the older model. All the enhanced bells and whistles are supposed to be unlocked when the game gets an official update.Looks like well have to wait for the Season 1 patchAll is not lost apparently, while Black Ops 6 is perfectly playable in its current state on PS5 Pro, the real update is yet to come. According to the PlayStation Game Size account on X, theres a hefty patch coming up along with the Season 1 update. Many players speculate that this would correspond with the PS5 Pro enhancements, meaning that this update will unlock the full potential of the new hardware. Nothing official has been announced yet, but it would make sense for Treyarch and Activision to wait and release both Season 1 and the PS5 Pro update all in one go, rather than cutting it into two pieces. The update is coming out tomorrow, November 14 and is expected to land around midnight EST or 5 pm BST.Call of Duty: Black Ops 6Platform(s):PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/XGenre(s):ShooterRelated TopicsSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
