While the Now Arena is completely sold out, you can still watch the event for yourself, from the comfort of your own home.The main card will begin at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on PPV. There will also be a preshow--called The Buy In--which will have a match on it, but at this time, it's unknown what match that will be because the 21-woman Casino Battle Royale for an AEW Women's Championship match has been moved to the main card.

Livestreamers, especially those from marginalized communities, often face targeted hate and harassment on streaming platforms. This has resulted in many streamers banding together to call for more action from platforms themselves--and it has also given third-party streaming tech companies an opportunity to fill the gap. Today, streaming software company Streamlabs announced Safe Mode, a way for people to block hateful and harassing messages from showing up on streams.Safe Mode works from within Streamlabs to protect a streamer's feed and live chat from malicious users. In essence, the tool provides a number of restrictions and filters that grant more control over who can interact with a stream. You can select as many or as few of these options as you'd like, and they run the gamut from features already implemented in Twitch like emote-only chat to new features like clearing all recent events and queued raid alerts.Safe Mode will be available to all users of Streamlabs, regardless of whether or not they pay for Streamlabs' premium options. Streamlabs' announcement of Safe Mode comes on the heels of #ADayOffTwitch, a protest against Twitch organized by ShineyPen, Lucia Everblack, and RekItRaven designed to raise awareness about the issues facing streamers from marginalized communities. The protest and its associated Twitter campaign #TwitchDoBetter began following a wave of coordinated "hate raids," which involved bots and malicious actors flooding a streamer's chat with racist, bigoted, and violent material.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nexon and developer NAT Games have revealed a first look at the upcoming loot shooter that's currently titled Project Magnum.At first glance it appears to be inspired by Destiny, but other than the idea of unlocking powerful new abilities, co-op teams taking on legions of enemies that vaguely resemble the Cabal, and what appears to be an all-powerful giant golf ball in the sky, the game has a number of features to help it stand out.As a third-person game, Project Magnum is focused on PvE activities, many of which feature gigantic enemies that players will have to work to take down. Another key feature is an energy-based grappling hook that can be used to quickly maneuver around the battlefield when the titanic enemies unleash a barrage of attacks.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

One of the largest changes coming in the second part of Minecraft's Caves & Cliffs update impacts both caves and cliffs. The update will include multiple changes to the way the game generates its blocky worlds, shifting mountains even higher into the sky while caves will have brand-new underground biomes. The update itself isn't out yet, but players can preview some of Minecraft's new world generation in its latest Snapshot beta.Included in Minecraft Snapshot 6 are a suite of terrain generation updates, with the first and foremost making mountains generate so they match the surrounding terrain better. The game will now take climate into account when generating its mountains, so in warm climates, players can expect to find snow higher up on a mountain, while others in colder climates will have snow closer to their base.Caves are also receiving some sizable changes with this Snapshot, although players may not find them too friendly. Ocean floors will now be "cavier," linking to underground cave systems. Players will now be able to find cave systems by diving to the bottom of the ocean easily, but they may also find that more of the caves they explore are totally flooded. The Snapshot also marks the return of underwater ravines.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Early today Sony opened up preorders for Horizon Forbidden West, the anticipated sequel to Guerrilla Games' franchise arriving for PS4 and PS5 in February 2022. With it came details on a plethora of editions you can buy, ranging from standard game purchases to expensive and impressive collector's editions with loads of extra goodies, all of which you can find in our preorder guide for the game. What it also revealed is that Sony is seemingly changing its approach towards PS4-to-PS5 upgrades, and it's suddenly a lot more expensive, and more confusing, with Horizon Forbidden West.In the past, Sony has offered a simple avenue for cross-generation upgrades. Although launch games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales offered them for free, games since have allowed PS4 players to pay $10 to upgrade their game to the PS5 version. This was the case up until now, with Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut players on PS4 able to use this method to get the PS5 version of the game when they managed to purchase Sony's new console. This is also the case for Death Stranding: Director's Cut coming out this month.That isn't the case with Horizon Forbidden West. In fact, there seems to be no current upgrade path at all planned for the game. Instead, Sony is suggesting you make that decision up front. You'll still have the $60 version for PS4 and $70 version for PS5 to choose from, but you won't be able to pay the $10 upgrade fee to make the jump after the fact. Instead, Sony says that they only way to get a version of that game that works across both consoles, you'll need to purchase one of the game's more premium editions, starting at the $80 Digital Deluxe Edition.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

However, this isn't Whoovie's first attempt at playing Call of Duty with a piano. There's an in-depth video where Whoovie talks about playing Warzone with a piano, how they convert their piano inputs into keyboard inputs on PC, and how they trained for a month to improve their aim with piano keys.For the Mauer der Toten Easter egg, Whoovie released a 6-minute YouTube video, where they provided gameplay and brief commentary of most major steps of Mauer der Toten's quest.

Bungie revealed the patch notes for Destiny 2's Update 3.3.0.1 today, which is the first update following the launch of Season of the Lost. While most of the update is dedicated to bug fixes and tweaks, it also enables cross-platform voice chat for Destiny 2's recently added cross-play functionality.In general, the hotfix smooths out some of the issues that have cropped up since the launch of the new season. For example, it fixes an issue where the Astral Alignment activity could soft-lock upon destruction of all Ether Wisps, or when players quit while holding objects.In addition, the update tweaks a handful of problems with weapons and armor. It solves an issue where Stasis crystals were doing more detonation damage against players than intended, which could conceivably feel like a small nerf against Stasis abilities.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Madden NFL 22 was released in late August, and though we were pretty pleased with the changes and improvements made for this year, the game also came loaded with bugs. A new patch takes aim at several of these, and it also makes gameplay improvements that should get it closer to where it probably should have been at launch. The majority of updates and improvements listed in the patch notes are apply to both the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 versions as well as the PC, Stadia game, though the last-gen game is missing some features. The overarching gist of the update was "adding more historical content" and "stability improvements causing connectivity issues," which means more uniforms and fixes to player likenesses, but there are also a bunch of updates to the gameplay and progression systems. Actions are being taken to address pass coverage concerns though it isn't being updated quite yet, and the new momentum system is being changed so it doesn't swing back and forth so quickly in online games. Certain exploits and issues related to defensive formations were addressed, and run-pass option plays will now be harder for the QB to scramble away from defenders.
