Now journalists and influencers have posted their videos about the unboxing of the PS5 online. Although it is still early morning in the USA, the comment sections are already full, view counts are skyrocketing, and excitement is pulsating across the web.

Unboxing video of the PS5 has over 250,000 views immediately
These are the unboxing videos: Influencer Marques Brownlee has 12.6 million subscribers on YouTube. Brownlee is known for reviewing hardware. His channel is filled with videos in which he tests smartphones, regularly racking up between 2 million and 5 million views.
He is now unboxing the PlayStation 5 and showcasing the hardware to his fans, many of whom envy him for this privilege.
A second unboxing video for the PlayStation 5 comes from the international gaming site IGN. There, Destin Legarie carefully unboxes the PlayStation 5 and even puts on gloves for it.
Legarie also seems impressed by the size of the PlayStation 5, comparing it to and placing it next to every other console in his household, including a standard PlayStation 4.
In comparison to the PS5, the PS4 looks quite small.
In the comments, it says:
“Dude, that thing is a beast. God damn, the PS3 looks small next to it. Everyone will lay this thing down to fit it into the living room decor.”
By the way, in an interview, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan spoke about the pre-orders and the availability of the PS5 at launch. For example, the PS5 sold better in the USA in the first 12 hours than the PS4 did in its first 12 weeks. You can find more about this here:
Call of Duty: Mobile received a new weapon in Season 11, the NA-45 sniper rifle. This has already caused players to curse, as it has an unfair mechanic that reminds of “noob tactics” from the past. Now the gun is banned, at least for professionals.
While the weapon is weaker than most snipers in terms of damage per shot, it has explosive ammunition. The NA-45 has only two rounds in the magazine: The first sets an explosive charge, and the second detonates it.
These two rounds can be fired in quick succession. Although the NA-45 is (still) not among the best weapons in CoD Mobile, it is incredibly powerful because of this. The explosion can surprise enemies and kill them instantly. In the weapon’s trailer, you can see how it works:

However, professionals can currently do little with the NA-45. The new sniper was banned from the championships on the same day it was released.
How do I get this weapon? Anyone who wants the new sniper rifle without paying for it must complete a series of challenges:
10 kills with the “Agile” perk
5 kills with a sniper rifle
earn the “Long Shot” medal 5 times
15 kills with a sniper rifle with two attachments
20 kills with a sniper rifle with five attachments
20 kills with the Outlaw with a laser attachment
20 kills with the Outlaw with a scope attachment
20 kills with the Outlaw with four attachments
The challenges also provide a lot of XP for the new Battle Pass. If you don’t want to invest the time but have some cash to spare, you might get the NA-45 with the “Lycanthrope” skin in the new lottery.
The Lycanthrope comes with a stylish appearance and strong attachments. In the new Arsenal you can view the legendary skin.
NA-45 too unfair – Banned in the Championships
Why is the weapon unfair: The use of the weapon resembles “noobtubing”, a technique that has been frowned upon since the early days of shooters. In this, players aim roughly at the ground in front of a player with rocket or grenade launchers and kill them without actually having to hit them.
The same trend has emerged with the NA-45. Players no longer aim properly, as is customary for snipers, but quickly scope in, fire both shots at the ground, and kill a player without them being able to defend themselves effectively.
“Noobtubing” is typically associated with rocket launchers, now likely with the NA-45 as well.
Since the shots can come in quick succession and only then does it reload, there are hardly any ways to prevent this. Many players struggle with it and do not quite know what to do about it.
Why is the weapon banned? In the currently ongoing Championships of CoD Mobile, the NA-45 cannot be played. It is not explicitly stated whether this is because it is too strong or because the tournament is currently underway.
Both are possible, although usually in tournaments it is not allowed to change the rules or allow new content during the ongoing competitions.
Can I play it? The weapon was therefore banned from the Championships of CoD Mobile, at least for now. Apparently, the problem with the NA-45 is greater than expected. However, you can still use it in regular games.
If you want to complete world quests in WoW: Battle for Azeroth, you first need to unlock them. A few requirements are necessary.
World quests are important in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. Many players want to start with world quests right away to prepare for dungeons and later for raids or PvP – but they may be missing. In this small guide, we will show you how to unlock World Quests in Battle for Azeroth.
Update: This article was originally published in 2018. We updated it on 29.10.2020 with the latest information from WoW Patch 9.0.
WoW Guide: Requirements for World Quests in Battle for Azeroth
Themaximum level is required: After the level squish, the most important requirement for unlocking world quests is reaching level 50. Before that, world quests are not offered at Kul Tiras and Zandalar.
Reputation with three factions: To unlock world quests, a character must have friendly reputation with three different factions from Battle for Azeroth.
Horde players need friendly reputation with:
Zandalari Empire
Talanji’s Expedition
Voldunai
Alliance players need friendly reputation with:
Order of Embers
The Storm’s Wake
7th Legion
To achieve this reputation, it is usually sufficient to complete some quests in all three zones of your own faction. After just a few quests per area, the requirement is fulfilled. Only with the Order of Embers in Drustvar does it take a bit longer, as the quest line grants reputation only later – but a large amount then.
Advance the war campaign: Most players overlook this step. To unlock world quests, the war campaign must be advanced. You need to play it until you have established a base in all three areas of the opposing faction. The war campaign always starts on the respective ship of your faction in Boralus or Dazar’alor. In doing so, you also unlock the island expeditions “by the way”.
Whistle as a reward: When all requirements are met, you can turn in the quest “The Unity of Kul Tiras” (Alliance) or “The Unity of Zandalar” (Horde) on your ship. This unlocks the world quests on both continents and also grants the flight master’s whistle. With this, you can teleport directly to a flight master.
If you already have a whistle from Legion, it will just be upgraded.
What do world quests offer? World quests are one of the fundamental endgame activities of WoW: Battle for Azeroth, especially for new characters at max level. They not only provide reputation, gold, and artifact power, but often reward good equipment that eases access to dungeons and raids.
Are you still having fun with world quests? Or are you already eagerly awaiting the next expansion Shadowlands?
After that, he expressed regret and accepted a Twitch ban for it. The ban followed: 33 days off was Twitch’s response to these actions.
This is how it looks now: Now the 33 days are over and tonight the streamer is allowed to go live on Twitch again. He had already planned some things in advance, which were partly unable to be implemented due to the Corona crisis.
Return after 33 days
This is what the streamer says: On Twitter, MontanaBlack announced that he is likely to be able to stream again around 10:00 PM. Exactly then he wants to start his livestream.

Now the stream will take place in Germany and he has already planned something for that as well. On Instagram, he showed that he wants to raffle some things during the stream. Among them are also some new smartphones that he paid for out of his own pocket.
What did MontanaBlack do in the meantime? During his ban, the streamer was still busy. He regularly uploaded videos to YouTube, which mainly focused on FIFA 21.
He also invited YouTube colleagues to join him. This resulted in a provocative scene from MontanaBlack’s streamer room. Colleagues appeared there who had taken over this room from a “previous tenant” who was obviously still out of sight.
Now MontanaBlack no longer has to hide in the streams and can go live again openly. It will be interesting to see how his stream will go for his return.

What is today’s maintenance about? A week ago, The Division 2 received the next major update with Title Update 11.1 (TU11.1). Besides changes in numerous areas of the game – especially for the Summit mode – the patch also brought various bug fixes, but even now there are still a few glitches, and adjustments to the game are ongoing – albeit on a smaller scale.
This is how today’s maintenance will go
These times are important: As usual, the developers at Massive have already announced the schedule for today’s maintenance on Twitter.
This is what you can expect today:
Maintenance begins at 9:30 AM German time
Downtime will also start, meaning the Division 2 servers will go offline on all platforms
Unless issues arise during maintenance, it is expected to last about 3 hours. During that time, your agent life must pause
Servers should be back online by 12:30 PM German time at the latest
With the server restart, the downtime ends and thus today’s maintenance as well
However, keep in mind: The maintenance schedule may change. The end of maintenance is often moved forward or back by Massive. If anything goes wrong today, we will update this article as usual.
Patch Notes for Maintenance on October 27
This is changing today: There aren’t really many changes coming to the players today. Essentially, today’s maintenance brings only 2 fixes. Here’s what the maintenance notes say:
A problem was fixed that caused Delta-01 errors for some players when certain characters were loaded
A problem was fixed that prevented suicide drones from attacking player skills
The clothing event of Season 3 is now over and is no longer available
Items from the event can now be purchased with premium currency in the in-game shop
The legacy box will now be available – with a rotating selection of items
By the way: If you want to know what comes next after Title Update 11.1 and what else The Division 2 has to offer in 2020, take a closer look at the following article. The developers have already given a rough outlook on the immediate future of the game: Finally, we know how The Division 2 will continue – Roadmap 2020

The new consoles from Microsoft and Sony will be released soon – the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S. And Ubisoft has now explained in detail how exactly their latest games will be improved through free next-gen upgrades on the upcoming hardware compared to the PS4 and Xbox One.
When will the new consoles be released? Gamers won’t have to wait much longer – at least not if they managed to secure one of the new next-gen consoles in advance. Currently, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are sold out. Whether that will change before launch is still unknown.
But for those who were lucky, the following dates are when it starts:
What’s the deal with next-gen upgrades? Numerous games will be released for the then old console generation and for the next-gen.
Many of these games will receive so-called next-gen upgrades on the PS5 and Xbox One platforms – either directly at launch or a bit later. This means that buyers of the last-gen versions will also be able to enjoy the new technical possibilities on the next-gen (usually) at no additional cost.
For 8 of its latest or upcoming games, Ubisoft has now explained in detail in a blog what changes come with the next-gen upgrades. Below you will find the games and the corresponding upgrade details.
By the way, all the upgrades listed below are free for owners of the PS4 or Xbox One versions. If you want to upgrade from the PS4 disc version to the PS5, consider that you need a PlayStation 5 with a drive. This will not be possible on the all-digital PS5.
Especially the improved loading times should be impressive on next-gen
What the next-gen upgrades improve in the latest Ubisoft games
What changes in detail on the next-gen consoles? Here are the 8 Ubisoft games with their key next-gen changes in detail. By the way, these features are already included in the next-gen versions of these games.

A conflict between the music industry and Twitch is brewing. Representatives of artists in the music industry sharply criticize the streaming platform, claiming they are doing too little to protect the rights of artists. This endangers their existence. However, Twitch denies this.
This is the letter: The US site Variety has a letter from representatives of musicians and songwriters to Twitch and Amazon. It is signed by 18 organizations representing copyright holders. Among these organizations is the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), which claims to represent 85% of the music legally sold in the USA (via riaa). So this is somewhat like “the music industry” you often read about.
The letter was sent on Thursday, October 22nd. It was addressed to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the Twitch CEO Emmet Shear (featured image). Amazon acquired Twitch in 2014 for $970 million.
The letter states that Twitch allows its streamers to use the rights holders’ music without a license. It appears that Twitch is doing nothing against the thousands of copyright violations and doesn’t even acknowledge them.
It is mentioned that the representatives of the artists are “deeply disappointed” by Twitch’s actions. There is still an immense amount of “unlicensed music” available on the platform. This “concerns” the rights holders.
Twitch grows with music, jeopardizes artists’ livelihoods
Twitch uses music to grow their platform and dismisses musicians with vague platitudes. Twitch turns a blind eye when the rights of musicians are violated. However, it is crucial for musicians to receive fair royalties on a growing platform like Twitch. This is a matter of life and death:
Because the money that is missing makes the difference between whether a musician has a roof over their head or not.
It makes the difference between whether a musician can afford health insurance or not.
It makes the difference between whether they can work as artists or whether they have to give up a lifelong dream.
Twitch is primarily a gaming platform. Right now, the platform is growing rapidly, also because the Corona pandemic restricts other entertainment options. Twitch, through its strong growth, has drawn the attention of the music industry, as artists use Twitch as an alternative to concerts and tours.
Twitch says: We are proud of how we help musicians
This is Twitch’s response: Twitch denies these allegations in a statement from Monday. They are very proud of what an important service Twitch has become for musicians and songwriters, now that other stages in the real world are closing and tours have to pause.
They have teamed up with “dozens of labels” to ensure that the music of the artists is distributed and promoted. Additionally, they pay some labels royalties.
Twitch claims they are proud to contribute to the health of the music industry. Furthermore, they investigate every copyright infringement complaint.
“Twitch turns a blind eye when users violate rights”
This is what the rights holders are saying now: In a further statement from the rights holders RIAA, it is said:
Twitch looks the other way when users violate rights. They shift the responsibility to the streamers: No company seeking a genuine partnership with artists behaves like that.
Therefore, a large coalition of organizations has now come together to point out Twitch’s misconduct, which continues to make unlicensed music available on their platform.
Twitch exploits the work of musicians, songwriters, and many others without compensating them.
Twitch must now acknowledge the seriousness of the situation and ensure that no unlicensed music is available on Twitch.
Streamers like TimTheTatman have received warnings on Twitch.
The conflict between the music industry and Twitch has been brewing for several months. Just a few days ago, Twitch deleted thousands of clips that had copyright complaints lodged against them.
In Destiny 2, the expansion Beyond Light is on the horizon. This time, the launch is particularly exciting because new classes are coming for the first time – but which one should you play?
That’s why the launch is so interesting: With the launch of the next expansion “Beyond Light“, players will have access to completely new classes in Destiny 2 for the first time. Instead of receiving upgraded Arc, Void, or Solar subclasses, the DLC brings fresh Stasis classes.
This introduces the first new element ever in Destiny. The Stasis abilities resemble ice or frost magic from other games, and their source is not light, but darkness.
No wonder Guardians are itching to try out the new classes.
MeinMMO wants to know which class you want to dive into the adventure with first. Before we get to the survey, we’ll briefly introduce you to the 3 new classes.

Hardcore PvP fans will receive a new MMORPG for iOS and Android with A3: Still Alive in just a few weeks. Even Battle Royale fans can take a look at it.
What is A3: Still Alive? The mobile MMORPG by Netmarble is based on a very popular PvP MMORPG in Asia called A3. Player-versus-player battles are also at the forefront in the mobile version. It is played from an isometric perspective, similar to Diablo 3.
You are not safe anywhere in the world and can be attacked at any time. However, there are also quests and additional PvE content. This mix made the quasi-predecessor A3 so popular in Asia.
The MMORPG also offers a story told through chapters and cutscenes.
You create your hero from the classes Berserker (Male), Archer (Female), Templar (Male), Wizard (Female), and Assassin (Male). There is a gender lock.
The character creation is very detailed with many options to customize your hero.
Classic MMORPG gameplay with solo and cooperative campaigns in areas like deserts, forests, and snowy landscapes.
A Battle Royale mode for 30 players, where you will be leveled up.
The free-for-all mode “Dark Presence” for 100 vs 100 players, where you fight with the levels and items you have earned.
Guild wars play a significant role in PvP battles.
It is possible to summon an AI partner to assist you.

In this video, you can see the character selection, the introductory mission, and some quests from A3.
An MMORPG with Battle Royale
What is special about A3: Still Alive? The mobile MMORPG offers not only an open world with quests and plenty of fighting, but also a Battle Royale mode for 30 players.
In this mode, you are given predetermined weapons and skills to ensure fairness. Your level will also be adjusted.
It is possible to unlock special weapons by collecting points on the battlefield.
There is no auto-combat in the Battle Royale mode. You must actively strike.
The map is designed for 30 players and is therefore not too large. The developers want the battles to progress very quickly and that a match does not drag on too long.
Is it not possible to play the MMORPG on PC? You can play the game on release via the BlueStack emulator on PC.
To do this, download BlueStacks from the official website and then install A3: Still Alive as soon as it is released.
When does the MMORPG launch? The global release of A3: Still Alive is planned for November 10 for Android and iOS devices.
You can already pre-register on the official website and reserve a name.

This video showcases the Battle Royale mode of A3: Still Alive.
What does pre-registration get me? Apart from securing your character’s name now, you will participate in a giveaway. There are interesting prizes to win:
The turbo leveling in World of Warcraft has been nerfed. The “dungeon boosting” is no longer worth it.
In World of Warcraft, there are many methods to level up quickly. Whether it’s traditional questing, visiting dungeons, island expeditions, or PvP. However, one of the fastest methods has now been drastically nerfed. Those visiting dungeons with incomplete groups now receive less XP than before.
What has changed? Enemies in dungeons now grant the same amount of experience points per player, regardless of the group size. Previously, enemies had a value of experience points that was distributed among all players. The fewer players in the group, the more experience points individual characters received.
Now all players always receive the same value of XP, regardless of the group size. So it is no longer worthwhile to tackle a dungeon with only 2 or 3 players.
Why did Blizzard do this? Blizzard has fixed a bug that arose primarily due to the Pre-Patch 9.0. Due to the scaling of dungeons, some “extreme leveling tactics” were possible. Blizzard wants dungeons to still be seen as a lucrative means of leveling up, but not overshadow all other methods at the same time.
What does this mean? For most players, this is likely of little relevance. Those who normally play dungeons with 5-player groups will not feel any change, as the experience points gained remain the same.
Only those who have been “boosted” and march through dungeons with smaller groups of 2-4 players will now receive significantly less experience points.
Boosters are missing a nice source of income.
Boosters themselves are of course missing a nice source of income, as some players simply let themselves be pulled through a dungeon to quickly reach level 50 without doing much. Booster players could demand a lot of gold when pulling others through dungeons.
Leveling is already fast: Basically, it should be noted that leveling in World of Warcraft has been extremely fast since Patch 9.0. Anyone who takes a weekend can quickly get their character to level 50. Experienced players can even accomplish this in the span of a single evening.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, the developers are constantly trying out new mechanics to keep the battle royale exciting for its players. However, it can be doubted whether a new teleport feature is actually planned.
What’s going on this time? A new bug is wreaking havoc in Call of Duty: Warzone. This time, science fiction fans are in for a treat, as the new glitch sends you on a journey halfway across the map – and in breathtaking record time, similar to teleportation technology.
As Muffin gathers some loot with his teammate near the dam in a BR-2 match, he wanted to leave the house using the shortcut through the upstairs window.
However, the shortcut did not lead outside the house. Just as he pulls out his knife to clear the window, his action teleports him nearly 2,000 meters away. Instead of being at the dam, he suddenly finds himself at East Promenade (see thumbnail).
Clearly confused, he puts away his flame knife (also proof of the technological advancement in the CoD world) and has no idea what just happened. Even a quick glance at the map doesn’t help at first – utterly perplexed, Muffin jumps at the end of the clip, as if he wants to pinch himself to check if it was all just a bizarre dream. But it was just an absurd glitch.
Players love the visible confusion of the victim
What do players say about it? In the comments on reddit, other Warzone players are particularly entertained by the confused reaction of the player. Although no words are spoken, Muffin’s confusion is clearly evident through his gestures. Many players can relate:
JustCallMePick: “Yea. The confusion while looking around makes me almost hear the ‘What the … ?’ Then the jump for ‘Is this real now?'”
NickFromRugby: “Your reaction really made me laugh because I felt it in my soul ?”
lawlykilla: “You were lucky that didn’t happen in the final circle. Then it would have teleported you into the gas LUL”
However, on Twitter under the post from “Call of Duty News”, the mood is not quite so calm. There are many negative comments questioning why anyone would still voluntarily play Warzone.
Sony has announced that the game “Destruction AllStars” will be delayed on the PS5. However, it will be included in the February 2021 lineup as a monthly game with PS Plus. This also affects users who have pre-ordered the game.
What is it about? Pete Smith, Director of Product Development at Sony, announced in the official PlayStation Blog that the multiplayer game “Destruction AllStars” will be delayed. Instead of being released in November 2020, the game will now be released in February 2021.
However, you will no longer have to buy it – because in February, the game will start directly through PlayStation Plus just like Fall Guys once did, and will be available as one of the monthly free games at no additional cost – provided you have a PS Plus subscription.
Destruction AllStars is a multiplayer game best enjoyed when you play against players from around the world online. We want as many people as possible to experience the chaos on the PS5, and what better way to do that than to make the game available to our PlayStation Plus members?
What about pre-orders? Sony stated that all pre-orders will be canceled and people will be refunded. It does not matter whether the game was pre-ordered digitally in the PlayStation Store or in a physical store.
What if I don’t have PS Plus? Since it is a purely multiplayer title, PS Plus is expected to be required.
What kind of game is this? Destruction AllStars is an action game that focuses on PvP multiplayer. In an arena, you compete against other players with vehicles and more.
The game is developed by Lucid Games. In 2017, the team, along with developer Ghost Games, released the racing game Need for Speed Payback for EA.

For PlayStation 4, this is Update 1.05, which is 2.5 GB in size.
When will Title Update 3.1 be released? The new Title Update 3.1 is now available on PC (via Origin or Steam) and the consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The most important changes from the patch notes for Title Update 3.1
What’s included in the patch notes: Title Update 3.1 has changes from all areas and modes onboard. Both gameplay and visual elements are being revised. In the following list, we summarize the most important changes.
Gameplay – Changes
Various adjustments have been made to gameplay:
The “Competitor Mode,” which allows the AI to mimic the playstyle of some of the world’s top FIFA players, will be more challenging.
The time players take to recover after a block animation is to be shortened.
The Elastico skill move has been slowed down, especially when chained together. This skill move was deemed particularly strong by FIFA pro Cihan in an interview.
Through passes sometimes turned into short passes – this should now be prevented.
The skill moves “Sombrero Flick,” “Standing Step-over” and the combination “Ball Roll/Scoop Turn” sometimes did not work as intended.
Additionally, many further changes to gameplay arise in specific game situations. For example, the ball could unrealistically fly when two players went for a header.
The “Competitor Mode” plays like the FIFA pros
Ultimate Team – Changes
These bugs have been fixed in Ultimate Team:
Many points in the menu were adjusted. For example, the menu sometimes lagged when scrolling right – and options that were on the left side suddenly hung off the screen.
Newly bought or obtained players through SBCs sometimes ended up in the wrong places in the menu.
Player cards were sometimes displayed incorrectly after goals.
In the Co-op Mode, several bugs were fixed, including incorrect displays and stability issues.
Overall, a lot of visual bugs have been corrected in FUT.
Career Mode – Changes
This has been corrected in Career Mode:
You can now scout for talents in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Iceland.
Incorrect texts were replaced or corrected in various places.
If a player was put on the transfer list, and you delegated his contract extension to the assistant, he could no longer be removed from the transfer list.
Sometimes development plans were not shown as completed, even though time was up.
Players wanted contract extensions, even though they had just signed a new contract.
Recently signed players could not be loaned out.
Additionally, many more visual adjustments and bug fixes have been made.
Other Changes
What else has changed? The list of further changes is also long. For example, some bugs in Pro Clubs have been fixed, just like in VOLTA. There were issues with playing music, menus were revised, and stability has improved.
Various visual aspects of stadiums and kits have also been revised, animation bugs have been corrected, and stability adjusted. Overall, the list of revisions is very long – you can find the complete patch notes here (via FIFA Forums).
Overall, it seems to primarily involve bugs, adjustments, and improvements. There are indeed many coming together in the list. It remains to be seen how much the patch will affect the gameplay feel once it is live everywhere.
Additionally, the continuation of the OTW event is still to come this week. Here you can find out who is in the Ones-to-Watch Team 2.

In Pokémon GO there are major changes to the coin system again! The tests regarding the new system are coming to an end and the old system will be reactivated in Germany.
This is the change: From November 5th at 11:59 PM local time, the tests regarding the coin system will end. All countries that participated in the tests, including Germany, will return to the old coin system.
This decision is being implemented due to the feedback from the trainers, says Niantic. There has been continuous criticism of the new system, as initially, one even had to participate in raids to earn coins.
Returning to the old coin system – But why?
This is how it continues: From November 6th, you can earn your coins again in the old ways. You will only receive 50 coins if you have sat in the arenas for about 8 hours. In other ways, such as solving quests, there will no longer be any coins.
These daily quests will soon no longer exist.
Why is this change happening? Niantic cites trainer feedback as the reason. However, they do not elaborate further.
The criticism was quite loud. Especially at the beginning, one had to do significantly more to get the same amount of coins.
One had to sit in arenas and also solve tasks that were quite tricky. Over time, there were minor adjustments. The task “Win a raid”, which was needed on some days to earn your 20 coins from the quests, was removed.
This was the mood now: After the raid quests were removed, the mood around the system had significantly improved. Therefore, there are now some comments on reddit that believe that this change was no longer necessary.
max_mullen writes on reddit: “‘Based on trainer feedback’, which trainer feedback? After they removed the task “Win a raid” (or made it very rare), all the feedback I read was super positive. I understand if it’s because they are earning less money, but then they shouldn’t say it’s based on trainer feedback.”
Now Niantic has pulled the emergency brake and after a few months canceled the tests. However, they also stated that they are still working on solutions to change the coin system. We can therefore expect another test run soon.
Finally, there has also been criticism of the new eggs in Pokémon GO. They don’t seem to be any better:
A list shows which games have been played the most on PlayStation 4. Which of these have you played? MeinMMO presents the 10 games.
What is it about? A picture was published in the PS4 subreddit showing the PS4 games with the most players. It concerns the total number of players for each game.
Where do the data come from? The data come from Gamstat.com, so these are not official data from Sony itself.
The figures from Gamestat are based, according to their own statements, on a representative sample of around 8 million PSN accounts that are retrieved via an interface. The data is then extrapolated with an error rate to all PSN accounts.
Sony also accidentally published specific figures for all PS4 titles related to “MyPS4Life” (via arstechnica.com). Gamestat.com also uses these figures to generate their numbers.
A third factor includes the achievements. By correlating the trophy percentages with the total number of players, a figure can be calculated.
The game Fortnite: Battle Royale is not included according to the website, as reliable numbers are missing (via gamstat.com). Since game update 3.4.0, the game no longer appears on the trophy list. While this is possible, it is significantly more error-prone. In September 2019, the game had around 65 million players on PS4.
These 10 PS4 games have been played the most – are you playing them too?
At this point, we present you the 10 most played PS4 games. The number behind the game always represents the total number of players. However, please note that the data do not come from Sony or the developers.

What kind of game is this?FIFA 20 is also a sports game from EA Sports and the successor to FIFA 19. The highly advertised new feature in FIFA 20 was the VOLTA mode – a street football variant alongside the standard games.
However, the mode was received only partially well due to some gameplay difficulties. Additionally, many missed an option to play the street mode with their friends. Therefore, the VOLTA mode for FIFA 21 was revised and equipped with more co-op possibilities.
With FIFA 20, many new stadiums from the German leagues also made their way into FIFA. There were 13 new arenas from the first and second Bundesliga included in this edition.

The horror game Dead by Daylight is trying to save its Halloween event. Players are being showered with numerous bonuses.
The release of the Halloween update for Dead by Daylight did not go well. The community was heavily disappointed. There is hardly anything to do, and the actual reward, the Halloween skins, could scarcely be unlocked unless one throws real money at the problem.
The developers quickly reacted to the criticism and implemented an emergency solution.
What was the problem? Halloween always holds great significance in Dead by Daylight, as there is (usually) an interesting event, and in any case, cool skins to earn. Damn disgusting skins were available again this year, but these could not simply be earned; they had to be purchased through the shop.
This year, it was also possible to earn them through the in-game currency Iridescent Shards, but the price was high. To earn a single skin, one had to spend several hundred hours in the game. Much too much for a Halloween event.
These cool skins were supposed to lure players into the Halloween event.
This is what the developers have done: After the shitstorm went rampant in the official forum and on the Dead by Daylight subreddit, the developers reacted quickly. They implemented a solution where every player is at least able to earn one skin.
To achieve this, they made two changes:
The cost of the new skins in the shop (for all original DbD characters) has been reduced by 50%. Instead of 18,000 Iridescent Shards, they now temporarily cost only 9,000 Iridescent Shards.
There is a daily login bonus that grants a large amount of Iridescent Shards.
What kind of bonus is this? Players will now receive a juicy bonus upon daily login in Dead by Daylight. There are both Iridescent Shards and Bloodpoints. Depending on which day you log in, there are different amounts – the most on Halloween weekend.
October 24 – October 30: Daily 500 Iridescent Shards and 20,000 Bloodpoints.
October 31 – November 1: Daily 2,750 Iridescent Shards and 100,000 Bloodpoints.
November 2 – November 4: Daily 500 Iridescent Shards and 20,000 Bloodpoints.
Players who collect all bonuses will receive a whopping 10,000 Iridescent Shards and 470,000 Bloodpoints. That is enough currency to unlock one of the new skins for free.
The survivor skins also look great.
If desired, Iridescent Shards can also be spent on other things, such as new characters, perks from the Shrine of Secrets, or alternative outfits.
It is worth logging in daily in Dead by Daylight, even if you don’t want to play any matches right now. The shards and bloodpoints can also be used later.
Blood Hunt is coming as well: In addition to the daily login bonuses, there will be a Blood Hunt from October 29 to November 2. During this time, the earned Bloodpoints will be doubled. This is a great time for newcomers to catch up to the pros quickly, but also useful for veterans to unlock the last perks on all characters.
What do you think of this emergency solution from the developers? A good, savior idea? Or do you see a catch in it?
