It's been a hard July for Apex Legends.
This Prime Day, you may find yourself in the market for a new PS5 controller. You could get a standard DualSense for under $70 — and even get one in a fancy color — but you might be looking for something a little more premium to get a better deal. Your eye might instead be drawn to the DualSense Edge, Sony’s answer to the Xbox Elite Series 2. But there’s an even better option.
Slitterhead director Keiichiro Toyama says Sony wanted Japan Studio to make "more highly budgeted games" before it was ultimately closed.
Baldur's Gate 3 won many Game of the Year awards, starting with the Golden Joystick Awards, then The Game Awards, BAFTA, GDC Awards, DICE Awards, Steam Awards, New York Game Awards, and even our own Awards here at Wccftech. In fact, we're now in the second half of 2024, and the game continues to win awards. At the recent Develop: Star Awards conference that took place in Brighton, UK, Baldur's Gate 3 won several awards including best overall game, as you can read from the full list of winners.
If you’re gaming with friends or playing online games, you need a way to communicate — a gaming headset. Now, you might have been eyeing the Prime Day headphone deals, but you should go for a headset instead. These Prime Day deals on headsets bring the best of both worlds: a headphones portion to hear what’s going on and a microphone component to team up with the crew. This combo makes for a perfect gaming experience and keeps everything in one convenient package. And, plenty of them are on sale right now for Prime Day deals, making it a good time to buy. For more goodies, be sure to check out our collections of console deals and gaming laptop deals.
For those eagerly awaiting the new Call of Duty game, players won't have long to wait. The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta is coming soon. It will be released simultaneously across all platforms, and subscribers to Game Pass can get early access to the game alongside those who have pre-ordered the game.
In case you'd somehow forgotten that Activision is now part of the Microsoft machine, here's a stark (although not entirely unsurprising) reminder: The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta is set to kick off in August, and for the first time in many years we're all jumping into it together.
The Beta has been familiar, exciting, and surprisingly forward-thinking all around. As a structured glimpse at Sony's Firewalk Studios-developed competitive team-based FPS, the first real look at is an enjoyable introduction to the fiery 5v5 action to come in the finished game, sans a few expected smudges and connection issues. Most of these should be rinsed away by its proper launch next month – and, hopefully, in the open beta which pops on July 18th – but the excellent fundamentals at 's core are well worth weathering its growing pains.
