While we can already expect the Community Day with Charmander for October, there is no event known for November yet. If we believe the leak, we should soon be voting again.
Leak says: We can choose the Community Day ourselves
This is what the leak suggests: The data miners have accurately predicted the following so far:
A vote between Weedle, Charmander, Grimer, and Porygon (Porygon and Charmander won the vote back then)
According to the data miners, a third vote is still ahead. It should revolve around the following Pokémon:
Bulbasaur
Timepole
Magikarp
Staravia
According to the leak, these monsters might be up for voting.
Could the leak be true? Magikarp probably won’t be up for voting anymore. After all, the Pokémon had already had a Community Day in August, which took place without a vote beforehand.
The other 3 Pokémon would fit well into the concept. With Bulbasaur, there is again a starter involved, Timepole is a rather rare Pokémon that can already be shiny and Staravia would be a brand new shiny.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that the last votes have always been used for 2 Community Days. The 2 Pokémon with the most votes received a Community Day. While there would still be room for such a Community Day in November, generally a special Community Day takes place in December, highlighting all Pokémon from the year.
The vote, if it were to happen, would probably only refer to the Community Day in November.
Things to consider: Of course, this is just a leak – nothing is officially confirmed. However, the previous votes indicate that there might be some truth to it.
Aside from Magikarp, it’s worth remembering the 3 Pokémon. We may have to vote for one of the 3 monsters soon.
Here we go, the first Team of the Week (TOTW 1) for FIFA 21 is here. We will tell you which players could be in the first Team of the Week.
What is the Team of the Week? EA Sports selects 23 players each week who have shown outstanding performances in real football. These players are rewarded with improved Inform cards and can be found in FUT packs for one week.
What are TOTW Predictions? In the Predictions, the FIFA community tries to estimate which players could make it into EA’s Team of the Week.
This is based on the actual performances of football players from the weekend. The better the player’s performance, the more likely they are to get a spot in the Team of the Week.
Prediction for Team of the Week 1 in Ultimate Team
These predictions come from fifauteam (via fifauteam):
TOTW 1 Predictions
Goalkeepers:
GK: Mike Maignan (OSC Lille)
GK: Illan Meslier (Leeds United)
Defenders:
CB: Ruben Dias (Benfica)
CB: Sebastian Coates (Sporting)
RB: Leo Dubois (Lyon)
RB: James Tavernier (Glasgow Rangers)
CB: Luca Caridola (Benevento Calcio)
Midfielders:
CAM: Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
CAM: Alejandro Gomez (Atalanta)
LW: Andrej Kramaric (TSG Hoffenheim)
CAM: Jonathan Viera (Beijing Sinobo Guoan FC)
RW: Hirving Lozano (Napoli)
RM: Angel Correa (Atlético Madrid)
CM: Mikel Moreno (Real Sociedad)
LW: Ansu Fati (FC Barcelona)
RM: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
CM: Bradley Johnson (Blackburn Rovers)
Forwards:
ST: Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
ST: Wissam Ben Yedder (AS Monaco)
ST: Mauro Icardi (PSG)
ST: Moussa Marega (FC Porto)
ST: Romain Alessandrini (Qingdao Huanghai)
ST: Niclas Füllkrug (Werder Bremen)
Possible Bundesliga Players in TOTW 1
These Bundesliga players could be included:
Niclas Füllkrug led Werder Bremen to victory with 3 goals against Schalke 04 and thus qualifies for a spot in the first TOTW of FIFA 21. If he doesn’t appear in the Team of the Week, it would be very unusual.
This is what Füllkrug’s first Inform card could look like
Andrej Kramaric scored 2 goals against Bayern Munich and thus played a significant role in Hoffenheim’s victory. An TOTW card should therefore be likely.
When does the first TOTW come out? EA has confirmed that the first TOTW will arrive on Wednesday, September 30. The players of TOTW 1 should then be available in the Web App from 7 PM. The Inform cards will remain in packs for one week, until October 7.
Why is the TOTW coming out so early? This year, the first TOTW is released before the release of FIFA 21, which means that buyers of the Standard Edition (release October 9) will miss out on TOTW 1. However, if you have early access to the game, through EA Play or the Champions or Ultimate Edition, then you have the chance to pull players from the first Team of the Week in packs.

For years, the MMORPG The Secret World Legends was quiet, but suddenly the developers announce one of the biggest updates ever. What’s inside?
What kind of update is this? Those hoping for a new story like a Survival Scenario may be disappointed. Because the update focuses on a rework of the balancing in the MMORPG The Secret World Legends. Especially the raids and dungeons are affected. The loot key system is also being revised, and there are adjustments to crafting and classes/roles.

The MMORPG The Secret World Legends has received a new update.
Many changes to the MMORPG
What exactly is changing? You can expect a whole range of changes, as the developers themselves explain, it is one of the biggest updates for the MMORPG ever.
All characters receive 9 Polymorphic Glyph Exchanger to adapt your glyphs to your role. This makes glyphs interesting for tanks as well. Glyphs can be used in items and improve them.
You no longer need keys to find loot in dungeons, scenarios, and lairs. At the end, a chest with loot appears.
In dungeons, raids, and scenarios, the elite mechanics now start at elite level 8. Others come with level 14. There are additional achievements starting at level 17.
Solo and duo Seek as well as Preserve scenarios now go up to elite level 17, and the Manhattan Exclusion Zone now has a pure elite 17 version with its own mechanics and special loot.
There are new crafting items, and recovering glyphs and seals now costs 4,000 MoF for a red version.
The balancing of items has been revised. There were also changes to blood magic.
Healing and tanking have been improved, and there are adjustments to some weapons, healing potions, and ultimates as well as the passives for solo survival games.
Why is this update special? For about two years, there has been silence around the MMORPG The Secret World Legends. There were basically no major updates anymore. The community thought the game was dead and operator Funcom would simply keep the servers open.
Now receiving such a comprehensive update is very surprising.
When is the update coming? It will be deployed on September 29.
The update for The Secret World Legends surprised the community.
This is how the update is received: Fans of The Secret World Legends are excited about this surprise. There is even hope that further updates and perhaps even new content will follow.
Dragnerve writes on reddit: “Can we hope for new content?”
itworksintheory says: “The Secret World was my favorite game but I had already given up hope that the developers would continue. And then I see this news.”
scoyne15 explains: “Impressive amount of changes. I just wish there were new content included.”
The community did not expect this update. And who knows, maybe more is indeed coming. The Secret World Legends still has a loyal community that would be happy about new content. So far, however, there have been no statements from the developers regarding that.
Are you also surprised by this sudden update for The Secret World Legends?
Three employees of the New York subway secretly converted an old storage room into a so-called “Man Cave.” There, they drank beer, lazed around, and watched streams of Twitch star Tfue. But this has now cost them dearly.
What happened? Under the Grand Central subway platform in New York, three subway employees built a secret “Man Cave.” This refers to retreat spaces for men where they can still behave like “boys” and where the decoration can be chosen without interference from women.
Typical Man Caves are usually converted garages, parked construction trailers, or basement rooms. In this case, however, the three subway employees, all electricians and carpenters, made such clever use of an old storage room for their purposes that no one noticed.

Curiously, the room was not marked anywhere, and even the safety officer did not have a key to it. The room was essentially invisible and officially did not exist. Therefore, the three “boys” could lounge around, drink beer, and watch top streamer Tfue undisturbed. They had a refrigerator, a microwave, a flat-screen TV with a streaming box, as well as a fold-out sofa to lounge on.
(The featured image of the article comes from theMTA Inspector General’s Office.)
The End of the Man Cave
This is how the Man Cave was found: The secret Man Cave in the subway shaft has been rumored among the staff of the New York subway for at least a year. There were also complaints from employees that other staff members were drinking and partying in the Man Cave during working hours without permission.
However, each of these inquiries into the matter came up empty. But the current investigation was successful, and inspectors discovered the secret room. Evidence included a partially consumed beer can. Additionally, the stream of top streamer Tfue was currently playing on the screen.
What happens now? The three employees responsible for the room have been suspended from duty for the time being. Investigations are still ongoing regarding how long the Man Cave has been used and whether they also used it specifically during working hours.
However, even if the room was only used during their free time, it poses a problem for the three employees:
The equipment in the room was partly requisitioned without permission from the stocks of the New York subway operations
The operation of the room was essentially paid for by customers of the New York subway
The electrical wiring was said to be inadequate. Had a fire broken out, it would have been difficult to find and access the room that was not marked on any map and to which officially no one had a key.
The professional future of the three Man Cave residents looks bleak. Additionally, further investigations into such unauthorized retreat rooms in the subway are currently underway. It remains exciting to see what else will be discovered soon. A completely different form of “Man Cave” exists in the game Animal Crossing. There, players have ordered a real stripper to a virtual island.

Alliance players are simply better in PvP of WoW. This is not due to their skill, but rather an unfair advantage that can make them nearly invincible.
As old as World of Warcraft itself is the question of which of the two factions actually wears the pants and is the stronger one. The Horde or the Alliance? The latest video from Paladin Rextroy has now found a clear answer: It is the Alliance. However, it is not the superior players to blame, but a small toad that leads to absurdly high healing.
What is it about? Rextroy has once again found a new way to troll in PvP. Instead of defeating enemies with one-hits, he relies this time on massive self-healing that heals him for several hundred thousand health points every few seconds. In his latest video, he shows how he can withstand multiple Horde players who simply cannot kill him. On average, he achieves 60,000 healing per second, which is quite impressive for a Retribution Paladin.

Why does this work? The reason for this is the damage scaling that is active in many parts of World of Warcraft. High-level characters deal massive damage to creatures that are far below their level. This is fundamentally active in all open world areas, except for Kul Tiras, Zandalar, and the associated areas of Battle for Azeroth.
This scaling ensures that opponents at level 1 can be hit for several million damage points. With a high leech value, this means that the player’s own character is healed massively.
For instance: With a critical hit of 1,000,000 damage and a leech of 30%, that results in a substantial 300,000 health points as healing.
Rextroy is quite a phenomenon. In other videos he has:
How does this work exactly? The star of this method is the item “Gently Pressed Toad.” Only members of the Alliance can purchase it from the Old Loola in Shadowmoon Valley of Draenor. The item creates a small level-1 toad that can then be attacked.
Using a macro, Rextroy ensures that a toad appears exactly in his position and then is destroyed by him with a powerful critical hit in the next moment. Something that all classes can do, although it is easier with AoE abilities.
Rextroy is dishing out slaps again
The prerequisite for this is, of course, gear with the corresponding amount of leech. Collecting an entire set of this can probably take a long time, but currently it is still possible with the Corruption. The stronger the leech, the higher the healing from the toad.
Because only the Alliance can buy this toad, only the Alliance has access to this massive self-healing in the open world. However, it is probably only a matter of time before Blizzard nerfs the toads.
With Patch 9.0, this will be more difficult because Corruption is removed and therefore possible leech is reduced. But Patch 9.0 seems to be delayed.
Horde players are now welcome to object…

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD Warzone, players can already pre-download the new update 1.27 for the new season – but only on the PS4. Additionally, the exact start date of the newSeason 6 and the size of the patch are now known.
What is the preload about?As was first introduced in Season 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale Warzone now also allow you to download the new update 1.27 (patch notes) early, including Season 6.
This ensures that players can dive straight into the fresh content at the start of the new season instead of having to download the required data for a long time first. Many players have wished for this for a long time.
She wants to participate in Season 6
All about the Season 6 preload
On which platforms is the preload active? Currently, only players on PlayStation 4 can preload the new CoD patch. It is still unclear whether other platforms, such as Xbox One and PC, can also download the new content in advance.
When can you start the preload? The preload on PS4 has been active since yesterday (27.09.). If you have automatic downloads enabled, the corresponding download should also start. To be sure, you can manually check for updates.
If you still don’t see a new update – don’t despair. Even during the currently ending Season 5, the preload on PS4 took place in 2 phases, and one is assigned to one of the two preload waves completely randomly. So if you can’t download the update yet, you will definitely be able to catch up today.
Almost 20 GB usher in Season 6
How big is the download for Season 6 and update 1.27? On PS4, the new update 1.27 is nearly 20.5 GB in size. It is currently unknown how it looks on PC and Xbox.
When exactly does Season 6 start? The ongoing preload has also revealed the exact start time of the new Season 6. Although the patch can already be downloaded now, it can only be installed at 8:00 AM on 29.09. (German time).
The update 1.27 can only be installed on September 29. You should be able to play normally until then
Season 6 will start on September 29 at 8:00 AM in Germany – on all platforms.

The graphics update of Dead by Daylight is in full swing. Some new images make us hungry for more – but perks are also being improved.
The latest killer “The Rot” has been playable for a few weeks now and slowly but surely the next mid-chapter patch is approaching. There, the developers are advancing their efforts to bring Dead by Daylight visually up to the standards of 2020. Gradually, all maps and animations are being revised and graphically improved. But many perks are also being improved and made more viable – for both killers and survivors.
The next map to receive a graphical overhaul is the MacMillan Estate. This is one of the first realms that ever existed in Dead by Daylight and is accordingly somewhat outdated. Although only initial ideas are currently available, they are definitely worth seeing. Do you recognize the following locations?
Please keep in mind regarding the images that these are only concept drawings so far. Based on the last updates, such as on the Yamaoka estate, we already know that the images will closely resemble what will later be seen in the finished game.
Many perks are being buffed because they are too weak
The next mid-chapter patch has even more in store than just a few graphical enhancements. The developers have taken a close look at a whole range of perks and are making significant changes to them. In the past, there were concerns that perks might be considered “too powerful,” but those concerns have since been alleviated. Therefore, some perks will become even more effective so that they will be used more often. However, some perks have also been weakened. Among the most important planned changes are:
Any Means Necessary: There are now blood points for resetting pallets. Additionally, the cooldown is reduced to 60 seconds.
Cruel Limits: The radius of the blockages is increased to 32 meters (from 24 meters).
Mindbreaker: The exhaustion effect now lasts a few seconds longer on survivors.
Slippery Meat: The increased chance to escape from bear traps has been removed. Instead, the chance to escape from the hook has been increased.
Thanataphobia: The perk no longer reduces the healing speed of all survivors. All other actions are greatly slowed down as a trade-off.
We’re Gonna Live Forever: There are new ways to collect tokens. The speed at which dying survivors are healed (lying on the ground) has been increased as an additional bonus.
Technician: Explosions from generators are now guaranteed to be avoided. However, a failed skill check results in a larger penalty.
Pop Goes The Weasel: The duration of the perk has been reduced to 45 seconds.
The perks of the Demogorgon are finally getting better.
Are you still unsure which perks you should play? Our top lists are always up to date:
What do you think of the new look of the MacMillan estate? How do you like the planned changes to the perks? Are these good and meaningful innovations, or should they have focused on other things instead?

Those who surrender early in Hearthstone miss out on many victories. A streamer shows how much luck one can sometimes have.
Although strategy and planning play a big role in Hearthstone, there are often random elements that can decide victory or defeat. Especially the Mage class has some major RNG components that can drive some players insane. However, one should never give up prematurely. This was recently demonstrated by YouTuber Funki Monki in a spectacular victory.
This was the situation: It actually looked quite good for YouTuber Funki Monki. Both he and his opponent had already drawn their entire decks, suffering fatigue damage with every card draw. Other matches are decided as early as turn 1. Since Funki Monki had more health points, victory was within reach.
However, he had not accounted for Reno Jackson. This is a Mage hero who casts a random spell at the start of each turn as his hero power.
As fate would have it, Reno casts the saving spell Tidal Wave. It deals 3 damage to all minions and also has lifegain, healing the Mage for a whopping 9 health points, thus saving him.
Many players would have given up at this moment, as victory seemed almost impossible.
This is how he won at the last moment: However, Funki Monki did not give up. He let the game continue, even though he knew that he would inevitably die in the next turn – simply from drawing another card.
But fate was on his side, as Reno Jackson was working for him. The Mage’s next random spell was “Dark Prophecy.” This allows you to discover a minion that costs 2 mana and summon it with +3 health. Coincidentally, the card “Nerubian” is summoned. This is a minion that causes the player to draw cards until they have at least 3 cards in hand at the end of the turn.
However, since there were no cards left in the Mage’s deck, this condition could not be fulfilled. So the Nerubian kept drawing “no card” and dealt fatigue damage to the Mage until he was annihilated.
In Pokémon GO Zapdos is back in the legendary raids! You can defeat the Pokémon in a raid with just three players and need to be at least level 25.
How long will Zapdos remain in the raids? The legendary bird is only in the raids for one week. Zapdos will disappear again on October 2 at 10:00 PM German time. After that, 3 more legendary raid bosses will appear in October.
Until then, you can easily fight against Zapdos. You only need 3 trainers with the right counters who are at least level 25.
Fight Zapdos easily with 3 trainers
Use these counters: Zapdos is of type Electric and Flying, and therefore weak against Rock and Ice types. So you should rely on such Pokémon.
Use these aids: On one hand, the weather is a good help during the raid. If it is partly cloudy or snowing in the game, you benefit from the weather bonus.
On the other hand, friendship level is important. If you have a high friendship level among each other, the raid will be easier.
For our calculations, we only considered the friendship level. With the right weather, it goes even easier with three trainers, but it works well as a trio even without the weather bonus.
Defeating Zapdos at level 25 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: At level 25, the battle can be quite tricky and especially consume some potions. So aim for a high friendship level.
Mamutel is one of the best counters against Zapdos.
Use these Pokémon: In total, 4 Pokémon at level 25 without weather enhancement can win against Zapdos in a trio. These include:
Rihornior with Rock Slide and Stone Edge
Mamutel with Powder Snow and Avalanche
Terrakium with Rock Slide and Stone Edge
Rameidon with Rock Slide and Stone Edge
Defeating Zapdos at level 30 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: At level 30, the battle becomes much more relaxed. You won’t lose as many Pokémon anymore.
Mewtu with the Ice attack Ice Beam is useful here.
Use these Pokémon: You have significantly more options with the counters. In total, you have 9 additional monsters available:
Galar-Flampivian with Ice Fang and Avalanche
Despotar with Rock Slide and Stone Edge
Glaziola with Ice Shard and Avalanche
Mewtu with Confusion and Ice Beam
Brockoloss with Rock Slide and Stone Edge
Demeteros with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
Geowaz with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
Snibunna with Ice Shard and Avalanche
Alolan Geowaz with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
Defeating Zapdos at level 35 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: With Pokémon at level 35, friendship level hardly matters anymore. You can almost defeat it with just two players – if the weather is right, you can do it with two.
With Reshiram, you can succeed.
Use these Pokémon: If you want more options with the counters, then the friendship level should still be high. You could then use these 3 additional counters:
Reshiram with Fire Fang and Stone Edge
Rossana with Ice Shard and Avalanche
Kyurem with Fire Breath and Blizzard
Defeating Zapdos at level 40 – Here’s how
Meet these requirements: If you are fighting with Pokémon at max level, you should have no problems with Zapdos in a trio. You can even defeat it with just two players, but only with Rihornior.
Even Zekrom can defeat Zapdos in a trio – even if the attacks are not very effective.
Use these Pokémon: If you want to use more Pokémon, then at level 40, you have 9 more monsters available, some of which do not even use effective attacks:
Stolloss with Rock Slide and Stone Edge
Rexblisar with Powder Snow and Weather Ball
Siberio with Powder Snow and Ice Punch
Keifel with Ice Shard and Avalanche
Amoroso with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
Flampivian with Fire Fang and Stone Edge
Zekrom with Fire Breath and Thunderbolt
Regirock with Stone Throw and Stone Edge
Knakrack with Dragon Tail and Outrage
How difficult will the battle be? The trio with Zapdos is definitely one of the easier challenges. It is also doable with two players, but we recommend the right weather and top counters at max level.
Is Zapdos worth it? The Pokémon is a solid Electric attacker, even though there are better alternatives. So if you want some variety in your team, you should secure a good Zapdos.
Additionally, Zapdos can be shiny. You can also secure one of the coveted specimens. You can find all about the probabilities of shinies here:
In FIFA 21, everything should be better for the street mode VOLTA. We will tell you what changes and why VOLTA deserves a second chance.
The VOLTA mode, newly introduced in FIFA 20, was not particularly popular. Many players tried the street football mode but quickly left it behind, as can be seen from the PS4 trophy for completing the VOLTA story:
The Volta trophies “End of the Road”, “One-of-a-Kind”, and “Collector” are all classified as Ultra-rare.
Only 4.3% of FIFA players completed the story mode of VOLTA.
For FIFA 21, EA wants to save the VOLTA mode and we will tell you why it could actually work.
That’s why VOLTA deserves another chance
What should change: EA aims to address the major weaknesses of VOLTA with the announced improvements. And if the developer can keep its promises, VOLTA in FIFA 21 could become a pretty fun mode.
Finally, you can play with friends
This is new now: The probably biggest new feature is the new online co-op. The feature that most players have probably wished for: Finally, you can play VOLTA together with friends and no longer have to kick alone.
The new co-op mode is called “VOLTA Teams”. You can team up with up to 3 friends to play in 5-a-side matches, similar to Pro Clubs.
This could improve VOLTA: If the co-op mode is as much fun as Pro Clubs and can motivate players with cool rewards over the long term, then “VOLTA Teams” could become quite popular.
Particularly nice combinations with friends, if each person only controls one street player, could lead to many fun moments.
More content to provide long-term motivation
This is new now: VOLTA in FIFA 21 must motivate players for longer through more content. And perhaps the new “Featured Battles” mode could be interesting. In terms of gameplay, the mode is reminiscent of Squad Battles from Ultimate Team and is particularly interesting because of the new “Groundbreaker-players”. These can be recruited for your own team.
These are former football stars like Eric Cantona and Kaka and even non-footballers like British boxer Anthony Joshua. But to include these Groundbreaker players in your own team, you first have to defeat them in VOLTA.
The first “Groundbreaker” are already known
This could improve VOLTA: Featured Battles sounds exciting and could provide variety and challenges in VOLTA. Moreover, the list of Groundbreaker players is set to continually expand, ensuring ongoing motivation.
Improved gameplay could reduce frustration
This is new now: In the first year of VOLTA, it was quite difficult to hit the small goals or dribble precisely. Unfortunately, this had dampened the fun of street kicking a bit. However, EA promises to have worked on this – and especially scoring should now be easier.
This could improve VOLTA: The most important element of the VOLTA construct is clearly the gameplay. It should be a bit easier to control manually than in FIFA 20 and cause less frustration with shots on goal. And if EA has truly eliminated the gameplay issues, VOLTA really deserves a second chance.
We are very curious to see if the improvements can make the VOLTA mode better and are looking forward to the release of FIFA 21 to test the innovations ourselves.

Things to keep in mind for the birthday cakes: If you discover a large birthday cake, don’t forget to eat the little cake pieces around it to replenish shields or health. This is another challenge that you can easily complete on the side.
Fortnite celebrates its birthday: Fortnite is already celebrating its 3rd birthday. And since the first celebration, the game has changed quite a bit over the years – just like the celebration.
Unlike the previous two years, the birthday is now celebrated in September instead of July. This is because in July, the PvE part Fortnite: Save the World is actually celebrating its birthday, while the more popular free-to-play part Fortnite: Battle Royale was released in September.
A lot is already known about the PlayStation 5. However, there are still some important questions remaining just under 2 months before the launch of the PS5. These 7 would be of great interest to our shooter expert Sven Galitzki. And what else would you like to know about Sony’s next-gen console?
When is the PS5 coming out? There are only about 2 months left until Sony’s new console finally hits the market. Both PS5 versions – the purely digital and the one with a Disc – will be released on November 19 in Germany and Europe. In some other countries like the USA, Japan, Canada, or Australia, Sony’s next-gen PlayStation will be available a week earlier, starting November 12th.
What does the PS5’s user interface look like and what can it do? While we now know what the PlayStation 5 and its accessories look like from the outside, we have seen little of it in action aside from some gameplay.
Particularly the appearance and especially the functions of the new user interface interest me, but there has been nothing official on that so far.
How noisy will the PS5 be in practice? This might seem ridiculous to some, but it’s an important criterion for me.
The PS4 Pro could easily drown out a landing rescue helicopter with its fan during heavy load. Sony has worked on this problem, but I am very curious about how loud the PS5 actually is.
I hope that the new console might be tested by specialist magazines before its release and that one can learn more about the operating noise there. By the way, you can find out what you can do against a hot and loud PS4 in our guide:
This could be one of the few SSDs to qualify for the PS5 and its games – the Samsung V-NAND SSD 980 Pro
What SSDs are supported by the PS5? The new SSD of the PlayStation 5 is supposed to be extremely fast and significantly reduce loading times. However, it could fill up quite quickly for gamers with many games, as it is “only” 825 GB in size.
While one will be able to connect external SSDs to the PS5, the problem is: While this is sufficient for old PS4 games, PS5 games are explicitly designed for the new, fast SSD of the PS5. And currently, there is not really much selection of SSDs that are technically suitable for it, and Sony has not yet released an official list of certified SSDs.
What about PSVR2? I have high hopes for virtual reality on the PS5. I had a lot of fun with PSVR on the PS4, but the technology still has a lot of room for improvement. On the PC, I have seen what is possible with VR in titles like Elite Dangerous or DCS World.
The PSVR headset for the PS4
According to Sony, VR will play an important role on the PS5. However, not much is known about that so far. While a patent for a new PSVR controller has surfaced, it does not necessarily mean anything concrete will come of it. PSVR 1 is said to be supported, but there are still open questions. Will there be an upgrade for that? Is a PSVR 2 coming soon? If so, when? And what will it be able to do?
I am also very curious about this. With the new generation, a worthwhile VR experience should finally be possible, which would make me particularly happy.
Open questions about PS5 backward compatibility: Sony has at least clarified how far the PS5’s backward compatibility extends at this point. Many PS4 games will be supported and run on the PS5 from day one. Unfortunately, the PlayStation 5 will not be backward compatible with PS1, PS2, and PS3.
But how many and which PS4 games will be supported exactly? So far, it has only been stated that the PS5 will be compatible with 99% of the PS4 games tested so far. How many and which ones remain unknown.
Witcher 3 is one of the few PS4 games confirmed to receive a free next-gen upgrade
What is the availability at launchlike? The PS5 is currently sold out. While Sony has announced additional supply at the end of the year besides the already completed second wave, it remains unknown when exactly that will be. Despite two pre-order waves, not everyone interested has been able to secure a PS5.
When will additional stock come exactly? Just before the launch? For the immediate Christmas shopping season? And what about retail? Will one be able to walk into MediaMarkt or Saturn to buy a console on the release date or shortly after?
I urgently hope for more concrete information from Sony on this matter.
The PS4 controller DualShock 4 can only be used on the PS5 with PS4 games.
Will some old games benefit from the new features of the new DualSense controller? Is Sony finally releasing an official pro controller? What about wheel support – especially for Gran Turismo 7? The top products from Thrustmaster are said to be PS5-ready, but to what extent? And what about other devices?
Some more clarity on this matter before the PS5 launch would also not hurt.
What about you? What questions are currently on your mind regarding the PS5? What do you want to know before the launch? Or is everything important already cleared up for you, like for our author Maik Schneider?
Genshin Impact will be released tomorrow, on September 28, on PC, PS4, iOS, and Android. We at MeinMMO will tell you 6 things you should know before the game starts.
What kind of game is it? Genshin Impact is a free-to-play cooperative RPG developed by the Chinese studio miHoYo. Visually, it resembles Zelda: Breath of the Wild, although there are significant differences, not only due to the co-op mode.
No, even though both games have many similarities. Zelda and Genshin Impact both:
rely on a similar art style
feature an open world and many side quests within it
dungeons and puzzles to solve
various means of transportation like swimming or climbing
A significant difference, however, is the character system. In Genshin Impact, you can play more than just one character, as is the case with Link, but have more than 20 different characters to choose from.
Another innovation is the co-op mode, where you can defeat world bosses, complete dungeons, or solve puzzles together with up to 3 other players. This is particularly noticeable in the combat system, where Genshin Impact emphasizes an action-oriented play style and combos with other players.
In addition, Genshin Impact can be played on multiple platforms and offers crossplay between them.

Genshin Impact relies on a mix of action and tab-targeting. For some abilities, you have to aim precisely, but the auto-attack automatically selects the targeted target.
The RPG offers you 4 abilities per character:
An auto-attack
A chargeable attack
An elemental attack
A kind of ultimate
Although the number of abilities is manageable, Genshin Impact is designed to play quickly and dynamically – unlike Zelda.
You play multiple characters directly
In Genshin Impact, you have more than 20 different characters to choose from. From these, you can form a team of 4 different heroes, between whom you can freely switch without load screens.
You have to do this as opponents have different weaknesses and are, for example, more vulnerable to fire or water damage. Overall, there are 6 elements:
Anemo
Pyro
Cryo
Hydro
Electro
Geo
This creates a very interesting dynamic and constant switching between characters. The max level is level 80, by the way.
In Genshin Impact, there are many characters. You form a 4-person team from these.
Why is it not a real substitute for MMORPG?
Genshin Impact offers many features that resemble an MMORPG, including daily quests and a crafting system with 4 different professions. Still, it is not comparable to MMORPGs, not only because you can only go on an adventure with a maximum of four players.
To unlock the co-op mode, you first need to reach adventure guild level 16. Moreover, the difficulty level is rarely truly demanding.
The biggest drawback, however, is that according to reports on reddit, players who help their friends in co-op get significantly less loot. They cannot loot monsters or open chests. Only resource gathering works in the friends’ game.
However, those who enjoy playing solo in MMORPGs might find fun in Genshin Impact. For others, we have gathered the best solo MMORPGs for you:
In Genshin Impact, you can equip your character with potions, artifacts, and weapons. Weapons are the heart of the equipment. There are 5 different types of weapons:
Sword
Bow
Polearms
Two-handed sword
Catalysts – magical weapons
However, each character can only carry one weapon. Moreover, each weapon comes in different strength versions, from 1 to 5 stars. Each weapon can also be upgraded up to 6 times at each level, making it stronger. From level 3, in addition to the normal attributes of a weapon, there is also a passive effect, which can vary widely.
Weapons of the first 3 levels can be collected in the open world.
Weapons of level 4 can be obtained through crafting or through wishes, a gacha system.
5-star weapons, the best you can get in the game, are only available through wishes.
The most important part of your equipment is the weapon.
Additionally, you can equip up to 5 artifacts. These also bring attributes and belong to specific types. The latter bring set bonuses, resulting in additional effects.
The co-op RPG is free to play, but relies on an item shop with cosmetic items and a gacha system reminiscent of loot boxes. Through these loot boxes, the strongest weapons and new characters can be unlocked.
Although you can also earn the premium currency, it can still be an advantage to invest a lot of money. However, a positive aspect is that the probabilities of success are stated exactly. Also, there is no PvP, which greatly reduces the appeal of strong equipment.
The remake of the “Mass Effect” series will probably miss the popular multiplayer mode. This leaves an important piece of the original experience absent.
After Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem there was a big gap in the hearts of many Mass Effect fans. A glimmer of hope appeared a few months ago when the rumor spread that BioWare was working on a remaster of the original trilogy. The game was supposed to be released in October of this year. However, that has now been delayed – and it will probably also come without the multiplayer mode.
What was the multiplayer mode? The multiplayer mode from Mass Effect 3 was quite popular. After finishing the main story, players could spend several hundred more hours here. It involved fighting against increasingly stronger waves of various enemies with up to three other players. Players earned in-game currency that could be spent on new weapons or additional equipment to tackle even tougher difficulty levels. There was also a leveling system with skill points and numerous different character classes with unique abilities.
In multiplayer mode, there was a lot of action – and cool characters.
Why will the mode be missing? According to a report by Venture Beat, the multiplayer will not appear because it would turn the remaster into a “live” game that requires regular maintenance. Servers would need to be set up and maintained to allow multiplayer matches. This is an investment that EA probably does not want to make, especially since it is questionable how many players would actually use this mode. After all, Mass Effect is essentially a single-player RPG.
Since the achievements from multiplayer could also impact the story, it remains to be seen how BioWare will resolve this issue.
Even though the multiplayer mode is missing, all DLCs are expected to be included in the remaster version. Therefore, purchasing additional content is not necessary.
Mass Effect 2 was already much better than part 1 – it simply played better.
Mass Effect 1 is simply too poor – delays development
Mass Effect 1 needs more time: However, the fundamental development of the remaster has apparently been delayed. One reason is the ongoing global situation due to the coronavirus, but there is another factor: Mass Effect 1 is simply too poor. Both the gameplay and the graphics and animations have aged poorly and do not correspond to the gaming experience that parts 2 and 3 offer. At BioWare, there is concern that players might be put off by Mass Effect 1, preventing them from progressing to parts 2 and 3. Therefore, they want to spend more time on part 1 and make some modernizations.
However, keep in mind that this information has not been officially confirmed. Officially, the remaster for Mass Effect has not been announced at all. It was supposed to happen, according to sources, in October, but is now postponed indefinitely.
The former producer of GTA V Online has founded a new company and is now working on a game called Everywhere.
Who is Leslie Benzies? Every GTA fan has surely played a game developed by Benzies. The former president of RockStar North has been involved with the GTA series since 2001 and has produced it for over 10 years.
Leslie’s game portfolio includes:
GTA III to V including the DLCs and spin-offs
Manhunt
L.A. Noire
Red Dead Redemption
Max Payne 3
Leslie left RockStar North in 2016 due to a legal dispute with the parent company TakeTwo Interactive over $150 million, which ended in a settlement between the two parties.
Two years later, in 2018, he announced that he has founded a new company called “Build a Rocket Boy Games”. The developer has offices in Budapest and Edinburgh and over 130 employees, including former developers of GTA V such as
What is the GTA veteran working on? The first game the studio is working on is called “Everywhere”. According to Benzies, it will be a “massive open-world game”:
Everywhere will have many traditional gameplay mechanics, but we want to bring something more, something that draws its inspiration from, well, “everywhere”.
Players are getting smarter and demanding more from their games. And we want players to have real freedom to live in our world the way they want. We want to offer a wide variety of modes and styles that not only tell our stories. They should allow players to live out the identities and adventures they want to explore the most.
Leslie Benzies to VentureBeat
The logo of Everywhere, the new game by Leslie Benzies
Additionally, Benzies explained that Everywhere is a long-term vision. It has the potential “to develop and grow forever”. This sounds suspiciously like a games-as-a-service game.
According to Benzies, Everywhere is however “very different” compared to GTA. So there will probably not be a direct competitor to RockStar’s action game.
Who has invested in Benzies’ company? For his endeavor, Benzies has brought in various investors in recent years. Among them are cryptocurrency investors Galaxy Interactive, Makers, and the publisher Netease, which is known for operating World of Warcraft in China.
So far, Benzies has raised about $42 million for his company. This is approximately the pure development costs of games like Halo 2 or Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt.
The major patch 9.0 of World of Warcraft has once again been pushed into the testing phase. But what does that actually mean?
In recent weeks and months, there have been recurring rumors that Blizzard may have bitten off more than it can chew with the upcoming expansion World of Warcraft Shadowlands. The unexpectedly early release date has already raised doubts, which have now been fueled further. For the upcoming Patch 9.0 has once again been put back into the testing state. But what does that mean?
What happened? The patch 9.0 on the PTR had the designation “Release Candidate” for several days. This is a version label that Blizzard uses whenever they believe the current patch version is stable enough to be transferred to the live game.
Now, however, Patch 9.0 on the PTR has received another update. The designation “Release Candidate” has been removed and the patch is back in testing state.
Why was this done? As a rule, Blizzard puts a patch back into “testing” mode when there are still multiple issues and bugs that need to be addressed.
It could be a minor error on Blizzard’s part. However, it is enough to raise concerns. In any case, players should emotionally prepare themselves that Patch 9.0 may not appear next Wednesday and may take another week or two longer.
What are the consequences? Within the community, September 30 was already established as the release date for Patch 9.0, even though Blizzard never announced it. It is conceivable that the release will now occur later – possibly on October 7.
However, it is rather unlikely that the entire expansion Shadowlands will be delayed because of this. WoW expansions have always met their announced dates since “The Burning Crusade”.
Diablo 3 presents in a blog post the update 2.6.10, which will go live on the PTR servers on October 1st. The new season theme, rewards, and Haedrig’s Gifts will also be introduced.
When does it start? The testing phase for Season 22 of Diablo 3 will commence on October 1st. Although there were concerns a few weeks ago that the season might be delayed, everything currently seems to be on schedule.
The PTR test will split into two phases, which will go live one after the other:
October 1: During this phase, the changes to Legendaries and Set Items will be introduced.
From October 8: During this phase, players will be able to test the new theme of Season 22 and its content.
Additionally, two buffs will be activated on the PTR servers to assist you in testing. They will increase the drop rate of legendary items and guarantee double the amount of Blood Shards.
The Season Theme of S22
This buff awaits you: The new theme of Season 22 revolves around shadows. When you touch a shrine or a pylon, a shadow clone of your class will appear. This clone will fight alongside you against enemies for one minute, as long as you are not killed during this time.
However, it does not clone your character and build directly. Each time it appears, the shadow clone will be assigned one of three predetermined build variations of your class, which it will then use in combat against the demons.
What happens with the Cube? In addition to the shadows, you will receive an additional slot for your Kanai’s Cube in Season 22. The new slot will be able to hold the same items as the other three. Its effect will not stack with theirs.
The goal of the new slot is to provide players with more creativity and diversity in builds. It is also the feature of the season that has been received positively in the community so far.
The fourth Cube slot will be the seasonal buff. The Witch Doctor will blow up the Rifts.
reddit user BadGyuLala
The 4th slot for Kanai’s Cube is a great addition. The “Shadow Clone” theme also sounds cool.
reddit user Xixth
In the threads, the possibilities were also drawn out of how to build incredibly broken builds with the fourth slot of the cube, and speculation was made about which classes would benefit the most from it.
Rewards and Haedrig’s Gift
What Season rewards will there be? For players who put in effort during Season 22, there will be gifts again. This time, there will be a frame for the profile picture and a pet. There are no images of the two rewards yet.
What does Haedrig bring? Depending on which class you open the gift with, you will receive one of the following sets:
In just 2 months the new PlayStation 5 will celebrate its release. Many are looking forward not only to the new PS5 launch titles but also to some of their old favorites in new splendor. But what does it actually look like? Will all games really benefit from the new hardware?
While some are looking forward to one or the other launch title, there are also players like our shooter expert Sven Galitzki, who are more excited for some of their old PS4 gems in fresh attire. But will all your previous favorites really look better on the PS5?
Which old PlayStation games can be played on the PS5?
Games via the PS5 backward compatibility: You will be able to enjoy old games on the PS5 through backward compatibility. Recently, Sony finally provided clarity regarding the backward compatibility feature of the PlayStation 5.
This means that the PS5 will be backward compatible with 99% of all PS4 games tested at launch. This applies to games on physical media as well as digital versions from the PS Store. However, we do not know exactly how many games have been tested so far.
Unfortunately, it looks bad for games from older PlayStation generations. The PS5 will not be backward compatible with the PS1, PS2, and PS3.
Even though the PS5 can boast a native 4K resolution as well as additional graphics power and a lightning-fast SSD – not everyone has a 4K TV or a 4K monitor. And not every old PS4 game will visibly benefit from all the new features compared to the PlayStation 4.
This is likely the case for the majority of old PS4 games: Many games will be running on the PS5 thanks to backward compatibility from day 1, but will remain at the technical standard of the best last-gen platform (except possibly for resolution). While there are likely to be fewer problems like frame rate drops, anyone expecting new graphics standards, high-resolution textures, or new effects everywhere will likely be disappointed.
Take The Division 2 as an example. The developers have already stated in a dev vlog that they do not plan to adjust The Division 2 specifically for next-gen (for now?). While the game will run on the PS5 from day 1 thanks to backward compatibility, it will only be at the best level of last-gen – that is, at the level of the PS4 Pro (or the Xbox One X at Microsoft).
The Division 2 probably won’t look much better on the PS5 either (Here on the PS4 Pro)
And so it is likely to be the case for most of the thousands of old PS4 games that are supposed to run on the PS5, for which no explicit next-gen upgrades have been mentioned or announced so far.
These games will receive a free upgrade: However, there will also be games that will receive a next-gen upgrade either on day 1 or at a later time, thus additionally benefiting from the power of the new hardware.
For example, Destiny 2 will offer true 4K resolution and 60 FPS on the PS5 through the upgrade. Rainbow Six Siege will even offer 4K and 120 FPS. Numerous games will thus enjoy a higher native resolution, additional graphic effects, and a higher frame rate.
The Witcher 3 is one of the games that will receive a free next-gen upgrade
According to the current status, these PS4 games will receive a free next-gen upgrade on the PS5:
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
Atelier Ryza 2
Borderlands 3
Cyberpunk 2077 (a further, more robust update is also supposed to come later)
Dead by Daylight

Doom Eternal
Far Cry 6

Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Little Nightmares 2
Madden NFL 21
Maneater
Marvel’s Avengers

Yakuza: Like A Dragon
(Last updated on: October 19, 2020)
More titles may be added before the launch. We will update the article then. By the way, if we have overlooked an announced free next-gen upgrade, feel free to let us know in the comments. We can still expand this list then.
And if you are buying new games for the PS4 as disc versions right before the PS5 release and want to know if they will receive a next-gen upgrade, look for the packaging. It will state “PS5 Upgrade available” for the corresponding titles.
You should pay attention to this label if you want to know if the PS4 game will receive a free next-gen upgrade for the PS5.
For some upgrades, you will have to pay: However, there will also be games that will receive a next-gen upgrade but will have additional costs associated with it – such as
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Control (The upgrade is only available with the purchase of the Special Edition)
NBA 2K21 (with the purchase of the Mamba Forever Edition)
Marvel’s Spider-Man (the remaster is only available for buyers of Spider-Man Miles Morales)
And although the PS5 has already been extensively introduced, it has even been available for pre-order in two waves and is already sold out, many important questions about Sony’s new next-gen console are still unanswered. What questions are still on your mind regarding the PlayStation 5? Our shooter expert Sven Galitzki still wants answers to these 7 questions as soon as possible:
In Call of Duty: Warzone, you can collect some intel for the legendary operator Ghost to earn a hefty amount of experience points and learn about the story of Verdansk. Here you will find the solution for the Season 5 Intel Part 4 – New Threats.
What are Intel Missions? With the start of Season 4, new mission series were added to the Battle Royale Call of Duty: Warzone: Intel. In the Challenges tab of the Warzone menu, you will find under “Missions” on the far right the option “Intel”.
Ghost sends you on a scavenger hunt across the Warzone city of Verdansk to uncover the events prior to the evacuation and understand the machinations of the bad guys. Just before Season 6, there is now a new mission series.
For the tasks of Part 4 Season 5, you need to collect a total of 6 intel and can quickly earn 32,500 experience points. In order for you not to have to search for the intel for the mission “New Threats” alone, you will find here the locations and tips to help you complete it. The solutions for other Intel missions can be found here:
Ghost wants to know what is happening in Verdansk.
How to solve the 7 steps of the Intel mission in CoD Warzone
Tips: Before you go searching for the intel, check out the notes in the tasks. There have been reports that the missions only work properly if you have taken a look at the respective note.
You can only complete one intel from the mission per match and can only finish the next step in a new round. However, it is possible to collect intel from other intel missions in one round. For example, if you haven’t completed Season 5 Part 1 yet, you can also check off a data package from that mission.
It’s best to complete the mission in the “Plunder” or “Blood Money” mode. Here you can respawn repeatedly and have significantly more attempts per match. If you are with a team, each of you must pick up the data individually.
Warning Bug: There are frequent reports that players cannot pick up some intel. If you are affected, there is currently nothing you can do and you must hope for a patch.
1. Find the position from Ghost’s message
Reward: 2,500 experience points
How to solve the task: East of the city area and north of the prison is the grain chamber of Verdansk, the Krovnik Farmland. Southeast of the stadium, you will find the first intel – a gold coin left by Ghost. Pick up the coin on the hay bale, and then head to the next point.
How to solve the task: Here, you can also directly access it after landing. An abandoned camp on a hill northeast of the stadium holds the next data. After a quick sausage over an open fire, this point is also completed.
How to solve the task: For intel number 3, head to the dam in the north of Verdansk. You need to go into the small house south of the water barrier. It’s best to go through the east window, keep right, and then turn left into the room at the end of the hallway. The desk on the left side holds the next intel for you.
How to solve the task: The last 3 intel are all quite close to each other. Jump in the south of the city, west of the harbor at the large, strange stone monument with the spiral staircase. In a northern direction, you will see a label with the years of the Second World War. On the surface above, you will again find a gold coin, which while not filling your bank account, will add to your experience points treasure.
How to solve the task: This task is a bit different and requires better preparation from you. Choose the field upgrade “EMP Drone” for your loadout and start a match in Plunder or Blood Money. Then land directly on the monument and attack everything that moves. Because the drone takes a moment to charge, and you can shorten that with points. Once you can deploy it, let the EMP device drop on the large antenna on the monument.
Once you have completed this, you will find a small house southeast in which a TV is waiting for some viewers. Fulfill its wish and collect its intel.
How to solve the task: You need to extract the last data from Bunker 10. The entrance to the bunker is marked on the map, which can be found a bit southeast of the monument. By now, you can enter many bunkers in the Warzone with codes or cards. Usually, there’s a lot of loot waiting for you, the list and locations of the bunkers can be found here. The code for Bunker 10 is:
60 27 45 13
Through the entrance, you will come to the anteroom of the bunker and to the right of the massive door is a keypad. Enter the code, enter the bunker, celebrate a short loot fest, and take the turn to the left. Straight ahead, you will see a long terminal and approximately in the middle, at the two monitors, you will find the last intel.
How to solve the task: For the last task, you don’t need to do anything else. The last 5,000 experience points will be added to your account, and the final intel mission of Season 5 is completed.
