PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile is now available on Android and iOS. We show you the download in the Apple App Store and for Android in the Google Play Store. And a first test as well as the system requirements.
According to early reports, mobile PUBG is exciting and fun to play. The nerve-wracking gameplay of the original is preserved, and the controls are also good.

Only picking up weapon upgrades is a real hassle on small mobile displays. Tablet users have it better with their larger screens. Unlike the mobile version of Fortnite, PUBG Mobile is a pure mobile game. It is also free-to-play!
And surprisingly many start their career in PUBG Mobile right with a chicken dinner. What is the reason?
PUBG Mobile is quite modest and runs on over 500 Android devices from Android 5.11 Lollipop and 2 gigabytes of RAM. The Apple version requires at least iOS 9.0 devices, like the iPhone 5S. However, the iPhone 6 is recommended as a minimum.
The download of PUBG Mobile
The download size is quite moderate. You should free up 892.7 megabytes on your device.
Is there crossplay? No, there isn’t. You have no cross-play and no cross-progression with the PC or Xbox version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. You always play with other mobile gamers, and your progress is not shared on other platforms.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The water turns black and the ship suddenly stops! See here the battle against the Kraken in Sea of Thieves.
Players of Sea of Thieves have been looking forward to this battle since the first testing phases: pirates against a powerful Kraken. However, the excitement in this battle is not as high as expected. The community thinks: There is more to come!
Kraken battle in Sea of Thieves in video
When data miners encountered the Kraken during the tests of Sea of Thieves, the excitement in the community was high. They imagined fierce sea battles in which the huge water monster must be defeated. Later, leaked screenshots revealed that the Kraken feature was indeed coming to the game.
Now Sea of Thieves is released, and the first players have encountered the Kraken up close. The encounter is exciting. A random encounter suddenly selects a location in the sea, where the water turns black. Ships suddenly stop and can no longer move. The Kraken holds you fast and challenges you to fight.
At first, as a player, you are completely overwhelmed; huge tentacles rise from the water and can pull players (with their mouths?) off the ship. But not much more happens. You can defend yourself against the creature with cannons and your weapons and attack the tentacles. Once you have taken out all tentacles, the fight is over.
You don’t see a big monster, just the tentacles. Even underwater, there is simply no body to it. In the video by super 21314, you can see a full-length encounter with the Kraken.

The reactions to the first encounters with the Kraken are mixed. Some are happy to have finally “seen” this mysterious monster but found the fight not so great.
Reddit user jimba22 writes, “Yes, the Kraken needs to be somehow more terrifying than it is now.” and such feedback is often seen. Players want a bigger challenge; the Kraken should be able to make holes in the ship and have much more impact in the game. And a body would also be nice.

Furthermore, there is a desire for a reward for killing this opponent. It doesn’t have to be a treasure chest right away, but at least a sound or some gold coins along with a message saying, “Well done, you defeated the beast.”
Perhaps the Kraken adapts to the players’ levels and scales with its abilities. This way, it would be clear that beginners have a somewhat “boring fight” against the Kraken, while players in the endgame have to work hard to defeat the beast. This would at least explain why we haven’t seen a fight with more action yet.
Have you fought against the Kraken yet? How do you like the fight?
Another cool mount from the new WoW expansion has appeared. We show you the mummified raptor!
With Battle for Azeroth, the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, the customization of your character is emphasized. This includes not only appearance, such as cool gear or the look of a new allied race, but also a cool mount. And there will be plenty of those in Battle for Azeroth!
The new highlight is the Mummified Raptor, which data miners from wowhead have now found in the game files. Visually, the raptor is impressive, as you can see from this short video:

Some fans find it unfortunate that the Mummified Raptor resembles the raptor from the Collector’s Edition of BfA so much. Horde players receive a golden raptor there. The mummified raptor has merely lost its gold color and is basically a recolor of the Collector’s Edition.
It will be available as a rare drop from the boss Dazar in the new dungeon “King’s Rest.” As is usual with such mounts, however, the drop chance is likely to be extremely low. Whether the mount will be available at all difficulty levels is also not yet certain.
Currently, there is the impression that there have never been so many new mounts as in Battle for Azeroth. Those still struggling with the “300 mounts” achievement should find it easy to complete in the upcoming expansion.
What do you think of the riding raptor? Do you like that there are so many new mounts? Or should Blizzard not release mounts in the style of the Collector’s Edition?
The Update milestone 1.1.2 for Destiny 2 is approaching rapidly. Many weapon classes are set to be upgraded. Hand cannons will also receive a significant buff. We will show you which hand cannons might be particularly worthwhile after the March update.
Here’s what is supposed to change for the weapon class “hand cannons”:
The PvE damage is increased for all hand cannons
The precision multiplier is increased for precision hand cannons
The targeting on consoles is improved
The precision when shooting from the hip and using the targeting device is increased
The weapon precision in the air is increased
Some weapon perks will also be revised:
Reinforced reserves, Kill Clip, and Rampage will receive an increased PvE damage. Rampage will also gain an increased duration.
Dragonfly will receive increased damage, increased radius, and stronger visual effects.
Grave Robber now replenishes half instead of a third of the magazine.
The damage of Time Payload is split into 55 Explosion / 45 Direct. Previously, the direct damage was higher.
The explosion damage of explosive rounds will be reduced in PvE. This reduction will be offset by an increase in damage for all base weapons in PvE. Weapons with explosive rounds will therefore not deal less damage.
We show you a selection of hand cannons that, due to their perks and performance, already represent an absolutely convincing choice for PvP and PvE. Starting March 27th, these weapons will benefit even more from the upcoming changes and could be even more worthwhile for you.
Don’t miss out on the following hand cannons:
The strongest hand cannons after the March update in Destiny 2
The best hand cannons in Destiny 2: Judgment
Judgment is a legendary hand cannon from the Trials of Osiris and is carried in the kinetic slot. It performs remarkably well in PvP and plays better than it might appear at first glance. It is very stable and has good power and a decent reload speed. The vertical recoil behavior is slightly predictable and can be easily compensated. The perk Moving Target provides the weapon with a noticeable increase in aim assist, which pays off especially in Guardian duels.
With the upcoming buffs for hand cannons, Judgment will become even more precise and should not be overlooked, especially for PvP.
The best hand cannons in Destiny 2: Storm
Storm is an exotic hand cannon and is carried in the kinetic slot. It is a fundamentally solid weapon capable of downing an opponent with 3 shots. With correct use of the perk Storm and Stress, even 2 shots may suffice. However, due to better legendary alternatives and the fact that Storm can only reach its full potential in conjunction with Drang in the energy weapon slot, this weapon is rarely used.
With the upcoming buffs of update 1.1.2, the weapon will generally become stronger. However, as part of the revision of Exotics, this hand cannon is also set to be significantly improved. Although the changes are not planned until May, a brief tweet from the developers indicated that the changes are already looking very promising in testing. So you should definitely keep an eye on this weapon in the future.
In Sea of Thieves there are many achievements that you can collect. We show you the tasks and their rewards.
Collectible achievements are now simply part of the core for most video games. These challenges offer the community opportunities to play the game under special circumstances or with new goals. Especially in the endgame, when players have already achieved a lot, they tend to collect achievements.
Here we show you an overview of all achievements that are currently available for Sea of Thieves. It involves krakens, cannonballs, and many nautical miles. In the future, the team at Rare plans to add more achievements that you can achieve.

This week, a new monster is coming to the world of Monster Hunter World. Its name is Deviljho, and it belongs to the most brutal monsters in the entire franchise. It is huge, it is bloodthirsty, and it always comes when you least expect it.
Already this Thursday, on March 22, Deviljho is coming to Monster Hunter World. It will be the first free DLC monster that enters the new world. Due to the anticipation, and so you can already get in the mood for the new beast, we introduce Deviljho here.
The violent wyvern makes even large monsters flee in fear
Deviljho is a fighting wyvern that made its first appearance in Monster Hunter 3. This beast is definitely not for hunting beginners, as hardly any monster is more brutal than it. Both hunters and other monsters fear Deviljho, as it is constantly obsessed with searching for food.
Even though the fighting wyvern looks cold-blooded, it has an unusually high body temperature. The high energy consumption created by this keeps Deviljho always suffering from hunger, which it satisfies with flesh. With its insatiable appetite, the fighting wyvern is capable of exterminating entire species and destroying ecosystems.
According to observations, Deviljho are cannibals that also eat their own kind. There are even reports that the animals would eat their own tails once hunters cut them off.
In addition, fighting wyverns are huge and sit high up in the food chain. Hunters barely reach Deviljho’s feet. Most other large monsters flee as soon as they see the beast. Deviljho is said to be on par with Elder Dragons in terms of strength.
In battle, Deviljho bursts with rage and spews a beam from its mouth
Deviljho has heavy, powerful muscles, and its mouth is filled with sharp teeth. The monster has powerful legs, which it uses to effortlessly pursue its victims across the area. With its strong jaw, Deviljho executes crushing attacks. Due to all these characteristics, the fighting wyvern can easily pin its prey and tear the flesh from them.
In rage mode, Deviljho pumps up its powerful muscles, making it even faster and stronger. The bulging muscle strands also better harden the beast against attacks. The stretching of the skin reveals the old scars of Deviljho, and the fibrous tissue underneath becomes visible. This gives the animal a glowing, demonic appearance.
In its raging fury, Deviljho can perform a special attack. It releases dragon element particles from its mouth that spread like a ray. This beam is particularly deadly and requires good equipment.
Deviljho always appears when you least expect it…
Deviljho can perfectly adapt to its surroundings and roams the world in search of food. The nomad has no fixed areas where it lingers. Similar to Bazelgeuse, Deviljho always appears suddenly and unexpectedly.
The two might cross paths more often once they appear together in the new world. A spectacular territorial fight was already seen during a stream from Capcom. In the video, some attack patterns of the fighting wyvern can also be observed.
As in previous installments, Deviljho mainly uses its powerful jaw to attack and tosses its opponents around. It uses its foot to pin Bazelgeuse to the ground. The rage mode, in which the beast glows red, is also visible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEzeJ-HPSzc
What attack patterns Deviljho possesses in detail and what weaknesses it will have will be revealed on Thursday. However, it is to be expected that its attacks will not deviate too much from those in previous installments. Most attack patterns of the “old” monsters were carried over into World, and there is little reason to assume that this will not be the case for Deviljho.
Login issues are occurring on Fortnite (PC, PS4, Xbox One, iOS) on Tuesday. Many users are receiving the message “Login failed” when using the Epic Games Launcher, and the login does not work, particularly a problem on PlayStation 4. There is actually no server maintenance planned; this is an outage for Fortnite.
Since around 1:30 PM on Tuesday, reports have been increasing that there are issues with Fortnite. Players receive the message “Login failed” when trying to log in.
Fortnite has already responded. Around 1:45 PM, the message came that there are difficulties with the servers.

Epic has reacted very quickly to this problem in the past
There may be another overflow, as Fortnite has risen to unprecedented popularity in recent weeks. However, the timing is unusual – such problems have typically occurred more towards the evening our time.Since Fortnite is now also playable on mobile, the number of players is likely to have increased even further.
Login issues also occurred last Saturday afternoon, but they only lasted for about half an hour. These problems also arose last night from Monday to Tuesday. Again, they were resolved within an hour.
While Fortnite initially suffered from such difficulties for hours, they have been able to resolve them relatively quickly in recent times.
We will update the article as soon as there is more information regarding the current difficulties with Fortnite.

Her abilities range from mid-range attacks to mind control spells, perfectly complementing other classes. The YouTube video showcases the fifth class of MU Legends.
Spellbinder Update brings new features
In addition to the Spellbinder class, the update of the support mage brings new features to the game. Players at high levels will find challenges in the new dungeon “Lupa’s Ancient Archive.”
Webzen aims to accompany the release of the Spellbinder with several events.
The growing popularity of the video game Fortnite has now attracted the controversial YouTuber Logan Paul and his brother Jake to Twitch. Logan’s channel already has 230,000 subscribers, but he hasn’t streamed yet. They are not considered gamers. It’s all about the size of the game.
YouTuber Logan Paul has been involved in some controversies recently. His type of YouTube content is repulsive to some. He wandered through Japan and made fun of the culture there. When he made a suicide victim’s corpse the theme of a video, it went too far for some.
Many find the way he operates his channel distasteful.
Logan Paul has now announced that he will turn to Twitch and gaming. He makes no secret of why he is now interested in Fortnite: Because it is so big and promises so much attention.

His stated goal is to stream Fortnite with rap star Drake. Last week, the well-known Fortnite streamer Ninja managed to do that, a passionate gamer. 600,000 watched, a Twitch record.
Although Logan Paul has not done anything on Twitch yet, 230,000 already follow his channel.
The community on Twitch is divided in its reaction.
Some say Twitch is not the place for them. After all, the brothers also bring a community with them that prefers to draw penises in chats.
Others like the streamer summit1g express positive opinions. If they bring so many users from YouTube to Twitch, it’s ultimately good for the platform.
Jake Paul immediately has trouble with Twitch streamer Ninja
Paul’s brother Jake Paul also wants to act like a gamer now. With his first video “I’m donating 200k to my favorite streamer” he immediately got into trouble. Because he used a picture of Ninja as a thumbnail (title image)
But the video itself is not about Ninja at all; instead, it shows an older “prank” with other streamers to whom he supposedly donates money. These are his colleagues from Team 10.

Twitch streamer Ninja does not find this very funny. As the US site Kotaku reports, Ninja is having all mentions of “Paul” removed from his channel. Ninja has distanced himself from Paul, calling him this “famous John Smith,” who is using his face for clickbait despite being rich enough not to need to.
The thumbnail has presumably been changed now after there were some negative reactions to the video.
Ubisoft’s next big open-world game Far Cry 5 will be released on March 27 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. But how much time should you actually plan for the campaign if you’re not distracted by other activities like fishing or hunting?
Next week, the new open-world game from Ubisoft, Far Cry 5, will be released. The American website GameSpot has asked how much time the game’s campaign alone would take, which can be approached both offline and in cooperative mode.
About 25 hours campaign – without potential distractions
As the executive producer of Far Cry 5, Dan Hay, mentioned, “good” players should need about 25 hours for the game’s story mode. But this is only the beginning. Not only should Far Cry 5 offer many side activities, every player could choose their own path and approach tasks as they see fit.
“We have seen people exploring the world and spending four or five hours just fishing or hunting, or simply doing things we weren’t really prepared for,” said Hay. “It really depends on how you play.”
In addition to the campaign, there will be a map editor that allows you to create maps or your own game modes.
GameSpot wanted to know if players would be able to create battle royale modes in Far Cry 5 with the editor, similar to PUBG or Fortnite. Dan Hay found this idea “super cool” and stated that the tools will continually be expanded. So let’s see if the battle royale hype will also sweep over to Far Cry 5.
BronzeBeard, CinnamonBeard, GreyBeard – There are many beards in Sea of Thieves and we explain to you what mistakes they stand for and what solutions are available.
At the launch of Sea of Thieves, the game and its players are struggling with problems. Some arise from the high demand at launch, while others are related to issues on your side. We explain to you what a LazyBeard is and what you can do against errors like AshBeard, AvocadoBeard, or the LavenderBeard.
Fixing Sea of Thieves errors, solutions for Beard Codes
During the testing phases and after the release, several error messages have already appeared in Sea of Thieves. Instead of the usual error numbers, the developers named these with bearded names.
The solution for some errors is quite simple and resolved with a restart, while others relate to problems with Sea of Thieves and antivirus software or a firewall.
According to reports from the community, the error messages “CinnamonBeard, BronzeBeard and FishBeard” have been accumulating since release. Together with the players and developers, some errors and their solutions have been explained:
CinnamonBeard, BronzeBeard – Error code in Sea of Thieves
Initial experiences show that these errors are likely a connection problem with Sea of Thieves. One of the most successful solutions is a restart of the game.
On Xbox One, press the Guide Button on your controller
Select Sea of Thieves
Press the Menu Button (to the right of the Guide Button)
Select Quit
Now restart Sea of Thieves and try to join a game.
GreyBeard error message
There is no official explanation for the GreyBeard error yet. Players assume it has to do with matchmaking. Unfortunately, there is still no effective solution for this.

This seems to be a similar error to GreyBeard, related to group formation. Developers from Rare advise to play temporarily as a solo player when encountering this problem.
LazyBeard, AshBeard, AvocadoBeard and other issues
In addition to the common errors, there are minor issues that may be related to Xbox Live or your system:
LazyBeard error message
You have been kicked from the game due to inactivity. Just log back in.
AshBeard error message
You are not logged into Xbox Live. Log in there to play Sea of Thieves.
AvocadoBeard error message
You do not have an Xbox Live Gold subscription (anymore). Renew it to play online again.
The connection to Xbox Live has been interrupted. Check the status in your Xbox settings.
FluffyBeard error message
The Sea of Thieves servers are unreachable due to maintenance. An update is likely being deployed.
LavenderBeard error message
This problem occurs in connection with antivirus software or firewalls. Temporarily disable these to determine which settings need to be changed for Sea of Thieves.
KiwiBeard error message
This error occurs when multiple gamertags are logged into the console. You need to log out other accounts so that only one is active. After that, you can play Sea of Thieves.
If there are new errors or solutions, we will update this article for you.
Particularly stubborn Classic fans in World of Warcraft can be annoying – and they do their cause a disservice, believes Cortyn.
Every game has a small group in the community that is a bit louder and rowdier than the rest of the player base. Often, this manifests itself in forums, where one insult chases the next, or once again the developers’ competence is called into question, as well as all other players who hold a different opinion.
For me, this group in World of Warcraft is part of the Classic community.
Basically, I understand the desire for WoW Classic, and I am also itching to dive back into the “good old” Azeroth for a few days when the opportunity arises. Especially the original Scholomance (for 10 players) or Zul’Gurub make me nostalgic. But the insistence of some Classic fanatics really gets on my nerves. Because they apparently do not know when their opinion is welcome or helpful and when they should just keep quiet.
A BfA livestream overrun by Classic fanatics
This was particularly evident in the livestream last Thursday. There, the Game Director of WoW, Ion Hazzikostas, along with Community Manager Josh Allen, hosted a Q&A. It was already known in advance that this was a Q&A for “Battle for Azeroth.” Of course, this did not stop hundreds of Classic fans from flooding the chat before the start.
CLASSIC WHEN
CLASSIC NEWS NOW
What about Classic?
Give Classic or riot
Hazzikostas even explained at the beginning of the stream that they were working on Classic and making progress. Many of the job postings from the announcement would no longer exist because the positions had been filled. However, the stream was supposed to be about Battle for Azeroth, as announced.
The chat was practically unusable.
Since the relevant people were understanding and realized that there would be no more information, they naturally remained calm – Just kidding. The chat spam continued throughout the hour.
Throughout the entire stream, the chat was practically unusable. Where meaningful questions about the stream or even questions for the Q&A were usually asked, a healthy communication was no longer possible.
I am absolutely baffled as to what these players want to achieve with this. I would be very surprised if Blizzard could suddenly prepare the servers faster due to the spamming of “CLASSIC WHEN???” or decides to spontaneously change the topic of the broadcast because a few loud voices want it that way.
The loud Classic fans can best be compared to the stereotype of another group. Let’s see if you figure out what I mean based on the example.
Person A: I’m really into Rammstein! What do you listen to? Person B: I prefer German rap. And how about you? Person C: By the way, I’m a vegan.
This is exactly how the Classic fans come to my mind. They bring up the topic even when it has no place in the current conversation.
Even in the official forums, almost every discussion is now attempted to be directed towards Classic. “Let’s talk about the Allied Races!” – “Who wants to talk about that? I want Classic!!!”
Yes, I am surely doing a disservice to many Classic fans who just look forward to the classic servers and do not stand out negatively. This text is not directed against you.
If you see yourself in the description above, then I have a request for you: Don’t be a vegan. Thanks.
The Western MMO Wild West Online is set to receive a major update this week – however, it will be accompanied by a wipe.
The update is currently being tested, which is why the team cannot yet say when the patch will be released. However, it should be ready this week. Even after the update, there will still be some placeholders, such as in the skill descriptions. In addition, the team is currently working on fixing larger bugs.
Weapons are supposed to have a greater variety of skins
The entire lighting system will be overhauled, as a day-night cycle is coming into the game
Optimizations to trees, grass, and other vegetation, which are expected to look better visually, and performance will be increased
You have to start over
The developers state that a wipe is necessary. When the update is released, the servers will be wiped clean. Your characters and your achievements will be lost, and you will have to start over. An exact release date for the online game has not yet been set.

With “The Witchwood”, Hearthstone makes extensive use of a mechanic that significantly restricts you when building your deck, but lures with powerful rewards.
The first Hearthstone expansion in 2018 will be “The Witchwood” and will expand Blizzard’s card game by 135 fresh cards. Some of these have already been revealed and at least in the initial examples, a new trend can be observed. The developers want to create new incentives to be somewhat restricted in deck-building.
This refers to cards with an additional effect that only triggers if one of two conditions is met:
The deck may only contain cards with even costs (0,2,4,6,8,10)
The deck may only contain cards with odd costs (1,3,5,7,9)
In a new video, developer Dean Ayala presented four new cards that utilize these mechanics.

The Schillermotte is a minion only for priests. A beast for 5 mana with stats of 4/4 and has the battlecry: “Double the health of your other minions if your deck only contains cards with odd costs.”
The Trübzitteraal is a beast for shamans, costs 2 mana and has solid stats of 2/3. Its battlecry reads: “Deal 2 damage if your deck only contains cards with even costs.”
For druids, the beast Düsterhirsch is available for 5 mana, with stats of 2/6 and taunt. It also has the battlecry: Gains +2/+2 if your deck only contains cards with odd costs – effectively making it a 4/8 tank for 5 mana.
For mages, there is the beast Schwarzer Kater. 3 mana brings stats of 3/3 and adds spell damage +1. Also included is the battlecry: Draw a card if your deck only contains cards with odd costs.
The new cards look promising and the community is already speculating about these cards. For example, all decks with “odd costs” can also complete quests, while decks with even costs have to forgo that – a clear disadvantage.
More new cards will be revealed starting March 26. Then Blizzard will likely unveil the missing cards gradually through streamers and community sites, and possibly also announce a release date.
He earns over $500,000 a month through his livestreaming. Why he and Fortnite are so successful with viewers, Ninja explained in an interview with CNBC.
In an interview with the news channel network CNBC, professional streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins stated that he earns about $500,000 a month. And that’s solely from his streaming and partnerships.
How this works and why Fortnite is so popular with viewers, he explained in the video. Additionally, he gives an important piece of advice for those who want to follow in his footsteps.
The accessibility of Fortnite is important for the game
The streamer “Ninja” is among the most successful streamers on Twitch.TV. Just recently, he broke the record for the most simultaneous viewers when he played Fortnite with the famous rapper and singer “Drake.” This attracted over 600,000 people simultaneously to the livestream.
This success is not only noticed among other streamers and the gaming community but also in the mainstream news. In his explanation to CNBC, Blevins stated why Fortnite became so successful so quickly.
“I think it’s the combination of many factors. Very important is that the game is free-to-play and already available on all platforms like Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. They also just released their mobile version on iOS, which is difficult to implement. Not to forget, there are also rumors about Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch. This accessibility and friendliness of the game is … they simply reach every market perfectly.”
CNBC was also interested in the financial side of livestreaming, after all, Blevins earns about half a million dollars in just one month.
Ninja explained that a large part of his income is generated through Amazon and Twitch Prime. But his massive reach on YouTube with five million subscribers, on Instagram with one million followers, and a similar amount of followers on Twitter also play an important role. The collaboration between Twitch and Fortnite is particularly significant.
Why is Ninja so successful? His self-assessment
A question from the interview revolved around why one should watch Ninja’s stream specifically and what makes him so successful. Ninja replied: “I think I offer a combination of strong gameplay. So high-quality gameplay that you can’t see with many other content creators. It’s very difficult to be among the best in a video game or anything else in the world.
I also believe that I … I mean, I’m very silly. You often see that in my streams or YouTube videos when I impersonate people. Just crazy antics. It’s fun to watch and there is also a positive environment.”

At the end of the interview, he was asked a question he deemed particularly important. Many young people watch the livestreams and the success of the streamer and want to pursue a similar career. He has an important piece of advice for them.
“I worked part-time and was in college while I started streaming. I continued to perform well in school and focused on my future, alongside streaming and my Halo career.
For me, it was this way: If I was successful in school, I had the reward of enough time to play all the games. And honestly, I want to recommend that to everyone, all the kids out there. You can’t just throw everything away and focus on playing video games full-time. That’s also a career with a lot of competition at the moment. You should focus on your future, and you can spend your remaining time streaming.
The most money is saved
In his interview, Ninja came across as authentic and grounded. He explained that he doesn’t want to spend the large amount of money he earns on crazy things, but saves and invests most of it. The streamer is also involved in charity work. He rescues animals and is committed to preventing suicides.
The retail chain GameStop is bringing back the promotion where a PS4 Pro is available for 99€. You need to trade in an old PS4 and 3 games. Last year, this led to chaos. The demand for the offer of the year was insane back then.
In April 2017, a trade-in promotion by GameStop caused pure chaos. Customers could hand in their old PlayStation 4 with 2 games and pay an additional 99€, in exchange they received a new PS4 Pro. We called it the “Offer of the Year” back then.
However, the deal became known a bit too early and GameStop totally underestimated the demand.
People ran to the stores, but found empty shelves. The PS4 Pro consoles were gone quickly. Some could get on a waiting list for reordering, others could not. The lines were busy, employees seemed uninformed and overwhelmed. There were angry Facebook posts and people were furious.
This should not happen again a year later. By the end of 2017, GameStop had brought back the promotion and it went smoothly then.
GameStop brings back the PS4 Pro trade-in promotion for 99€
Once again, GameStop offers to take in used PlayStation 4 consoles and in return provides a new PlayStation 4 Pro. This time, however, they want 3 games.
In detail:
The offer runs from March 19 to March 31 in all GameStop stores in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. During this time, you can take advantage of the offer and reserve a PS4 Pro. The trade-in promotion itself will take place between April 2 and April 14. The old PS4 must be handed in for the trade.
GameStop will provide a black 1TB PS4 Pro for 99€.
They want a PS4 console with three games and one controller in exchange.
The traded-in console must be fully functional. The three games can be any except 67, which are listed here. These include games like Destiny, The Elder Scrolls Online, Battleborn, No Man’s Sky, Final Fantasy 14, and many older sports games from previous years.
Instead of the third game, people can also trade in a second functional controller.
We have a cool mount for Neverwinter for you. This time it is a giant bird called “Axtschnabel” and you can win 50 of them for the PC version of Neverwinter.
In the role-playing system Dungeons and Dragons, there are many curious beasts. Some of them are not only good for grinding and delivering experience points. Some D&D creatures can be trained as mounts. Among them is the fearsome Axtschnabel, a wild bird of prey, which comes here as a nice mount.
50 turquoise Axtschnäbels to win for PC
An Axtschnabel is more likely to be encountered by most adventurers as an opponent. The large running bird is quite ill-tempered and attacks anyone who approaches it. But this is a special Axtschnabel: “Suratuks turquoise-dusted Axtschnabel!”
This Suraturk is an artist from the city of Calimport, who has given a trained Axtschnabel a turquoise dusting. This makes the mighty beast look less brutal and rather fabulous!
The riding bird increases movement speed by 110% and has two insignia slots as well as one universal slot. Ideal for exploring the wild jungles and the lost city of Omu.
To win, you simply need to perform three actions from the embedded windows here. The winners and the prizes will be randomly drawn. The contest ends on March 29, 2018. The winners will then be contacted via email. Legal recourse is excluded. Good luck!

A new machinima is causing a stir. Rarely has a class in World of Warcraft been showcased as perfectly as the Demon Hunter here.
Demon Hunters have a bad reputation in World of Warcraft. They are labeled as a “No Skill” class by many players because they have only a few abilities. Moreover, they are the “Edgelords” of WoW, constantly complaining about how terrible their lives are. “I sacrificed everything! What have you given?” is one of the most popular quotes for WoW memes for a reason.
However, that Demon Hunters can also be damn cool is shown by Ivan Kuzkin on his YouTube channel. There he uploaded the video “Warcraft Demon Hunters” and showcases his entire skill in video editing. Since words hardly describe how cool the video turned out, you better check it out here:

Of course, the clip is filled with much more action than the WoW combat system is, and the graphic splendor of the animations far exceeds the original. But if there were an advertising campaign for the Demon Hunters, this video would definitely have the best chances.
Cortyn says: Actually, I don’t enjoy the Demon Hunter class in World of Warcraft at all; from its lore to its playstyle, it’s just not my thing. But after this brilliant video, I feel tempted to give the Demon Hunter another chance and bash my way through the battlegrounds (and lose mercilessly in the process). It can only be a matter of time before Ivan Kuzkin gets a job offer from Blizzard – at least, I wish him that. The only question remains: When will we get videos for all the other classes?
What do you think of this cinematic? Does it hit the nail on the head? Or does it simply not fit the Warcraft style?
There is a sign of life from the Korean MMORPG Bless. Although there is still no fixed release date, the game will start in Early Access with us in May 2018. This is evident from a trailer.
For years, the MMORPG Bless has been in the air, already playable in Korea and Russia, and has a tumultuous history behind it. In 2018, it is finally supposed to come to us in Europe. The release is now approaching.
As announced now with a trailer, Bless will launch in May 2018 in Early Access on Steam. However, the trailer is not listed on YouTube. Something seems to have gone wrong with the announcement anyway. It apparently leaked to the public a day too early.

There is also new information. Bless has apparently finally decided on a payment model, which is not the Free2Play model favored by many Asian MMORPGs.
Bless is supposed to be a Buy2Play game: So buy once and then play without a subscription like Black Desert or Guild Wars 2. All of this is supposed to be presented with a “brand new website”.
Somehow, this announcement seems to have leaked to the public in a strange way. In the Reddit forum of Bless, there are quotes from a news announcement, but they are anonymous. It looks like this news was published in an article by cgmagonline.com, which has since been removed.
It is still available in Google’s cache.
A German fan site also has a statement from Neowiz and published it, which no one else has reported on.
This could be a sign that the announcements actually had an embargo and were under NDA, which has now been broken. Perhaps the announcement was supposed to happen only when the official website launched. Well, in any case, it seems that Bless is really getting started in May.
