Famous female Twitch streamer Pokimane is incredibly successful and one of the biggest female streamers in the world. But despite - or perhaps because of - her popularity, she’s made an announcement on Twitter that she is limiting the amount for donations on her streams that viewers could give. Pokimane’s 2020 has been filled with ups and downs. From her signing a multi-year deal with Twitch to having a fellow streamer banned for bullying her, Pokimane, real name Imane Anys, has continued to be incredibly popular....

While Valve may be more interested in creating new games that have better options for monetization, its fanbase is more than happy to support Valve’s classic franchises in its stead. Case in point Portal 2, a very popular sequel to an already popular puzzle game. Valve’s lack of interest in continuing the Portal franchise will be capitalized on by modders, however. Case in point Emberspark Games’ upcoming Portal 2 mode Desolation....

Shortly after Facebook rebranded as Meta last year, the social media giant also rolled out a massive online space for users to play and interact with one another in virtual reality. The name of the concept, Horizon Worlds, connotated everything the company wanted to say about the infinite frontier of virtual reality. “There’s a lot of fun/tortious/actionable things like that that pop up,” Upload creator Greg Daniels says of the Horizon/Facebook naming coincidence....

Every day that goes by, Sony’s next-generation PS5 that’s expected to hit shelves this Holiday season gets closer and closer. Sony has already unveiled the DualSense controller for PS5, the highly-anticipated successor to PS4’s DualShock 4 controller, offering a glimpse at what players can expect from the design of the box. However, with COVID-19 forcing Sony to change gears with its PS5 Approach, exactly when it’ll reveal more remains in the air....

While the current console hardware cycle is still going strong, many gamers have been speculating as to when Sony Interactive Entertainment and Microsoft could finally announce the release of its next generation of systems. Now, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) analyst Lewis Ward, the two tech titans could very well wind up unveiling the PS5 and the newest iteration of Xbox during press conferences at E3 2020. According to comments made in a recent interview, Ward believes there is a chance for both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One to get “modest hardware refreshes” at some point in 2019....

That said, if you didn’t have a chance to secure yourself a PS5 this week, Sony says you shouldn’t worry about console shortages at launch. In an interview with The Washington Post, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan has assured fans that “Sony will have more PlayStation 5 units ready for sale than they had PlayStation 4 units in 2013.” The PS4 sold about 2.1 million units worldwide in its first two weeks, with 1 million of those units sold on launch day, according to WaPo....

That’s right, we got a first look at FNAF Security Breach during PlayStation’s Showcase event today. The teaser didn’t give us much, but it’s definitely not the pizzeria that we know. If you haven’t been keeping up with FNAF, the universe has expanded well beyond its initial jump scare title to include several series of books, games, and potentially a television series. This universe is focused on a world where robots are infused with the souls of dead children, and these animatronics come to life to punish bad adults....

We haven’t seen much of them yet, but Psychonauts 2’s interns might be the key to capturing the same magic that made the first game so memorable. There are many reasons to love Psychonauts, from its fantastic platforming to its wonderful mental worlds, and even its twisted Tim Burton-esque designs. All of these elements are things I could rant and rave about for hours, but the highlight of Psychonauts for me has always been the campers themselves and how accurately they portray what it’s like to be a kid....

PUBG Corporation has announced that it has ended its partnership with Tencent Games to publish and distribute PUBG Mobile in India.

At the time of writing, there are 52,849 user reviews of Skyrim: Special Edition on Steam. That’s a lot of reviews. It’s well known that Skyrim fans were unhappy with the launch of Skyrim: Special Edition, mostly due to the fact that its launch hid vanilla Skyrim from the Steam storefront. The newer edition of Bethesda’s iconic sword and sorcery RPG is also reportedly incompatible with a variety of beloved mods - and, as we know, Bethesda games are nothing without their modding communities....

It’s pretty hard to be a true outlaw in Red Dead Online without your trusty steed. From racing against other players to raiding a bandit hideout, horses are a critical component of this hit online game. And most of them cost a pretty penny. Some are better than others in different situations. Rockstar has added horses with a variety of stats; the animals with higher base Health can look a predator in the eye and hardly flinch, while those with better Stamina can run across the region without breaking a sweat....

Throughout the experience, fans can explore specialist job roles or compete head to head in competitive battles. As a live service game, Rockstar occasionally adds special updates that buff specific activities....

Red Dead Redemption 2 received astounding critical reception upon its release in 2018 and since then it has been discussed as one of the best games of the entire current console generation. The game’s narrative did an excellent job of showcasing the journey its protagonist Arthur Morgan went on in an attempt to seek redemption in the face of his mortality. He wasn’t the only character who was redeemed in the game by the time credits rolled, though....

Without a doubt, Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most highly coveted video games of the year. This has been indicated by the fact that its sales have already outpaced its predecessor’s lifetime figures by a pretty wide margin. That said, though, it’s safe to presume there are plenty of folks out there who have yet to pick up the open world western. With this being the case, now is likely to be the best time to buy it, as there are several decent Black Friday deals available....

There are several large and small maps in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, each designed for a specific purpose, game mode, or battle. Some of the Modern Warfare maps are based on scenes from the campaign itself while others are simply meant for domination and team deathmatch game modes. The design and purpose of the map have a major influence on whether players enjoy it. Larger maps are great for large scale conflicts, but struggle when it comes to smaller game modes....

Some armor is straight forward and easy to find in Remnant: From The Ashes while others are hidden. There is an armor set hidden at the very beginning of the game that a lot of people might not have found. It’s as easy as smashing everything you see and crouching around. The Drifter’s armor set is a scrappy looking piece of armor that provides a damage buff and a cooler look when you have yet to get any other armor....

Phil Spencer has never been one to hide credit where it’s due, even when it relates to his most immediate competition. Spencer “applauded’’ Sony’s accomplishment with the PS5’s DualSense controller, and he repeated that sentiment in a recent interview with the Kinda Funny Gamescast. In a wide-ranging conversation that also talked about Game Pass and how it might help revive some of Microsoft’s older franchises, Spencer also talked about the future of Xbox’s hardware, suggesting that the Xbox controller might evolve to have some of the DualSense’s features....
