Pokémon Go developer Niantic has always pitched its mobile Pokémon game as a social experience. But when you’re actually playing it, it’s just your lonely trainer on-screen, walking the virtual world of Pokémon Go and catching ’em all.

Rainbow Six Siege has added Master Chief's armor and Gravity Hammer for Operator Sledge in its latest Halo crossover event.
«It's time to siege the day and finish the fight as Rainbow Six Siege introduces a new Halo crossover featuring an Elite set for Sledge that outfits him in the armor of the Master Chief,» Ubisoft says in the announcement post.
The publisher also shared a special cinematic showcasing the Elite set in action as Master Chief jumps from a plane and lands in the Rainbow Six Siege's Consulate map, which you can watch below.
Included in the Elite set are the iconic Spartan-117 headgear and uniform inspired by the character's armor in Halo Infinite — the series' most recent release. It also comes with a gadget skin that reimagines Sledge's breaching hammer as Halo's Banished Gravity Hammer, allowing you to smash your way through enemies as you would in Microsoft's FPS game.
Weapon skins for Sledge's primary and secondary weapons will be included as well; specifically the M590A1 shotgun and L825A2 assault rifle, and his P226 MK25 pistol. As with other special sets, this Elite pack will come with Operator cards, a victory celebration, and a unique Cortana Chibi charm inspired by Halo's artificially intelligent character that fans know and love.
From the in-game store, players can purchase the Elite legendary bundle right now for 2,403 R6 credits — which is around $20, making it the most expensive Elite set in the game.
Elsewhere, Ubisoft recently added another new Operator to Rainbow Six Siege named Ram. Ram joined Year Eight Season Three Operation Heavy Mettle on August 29 and is a «destructive» Attacker from South Korea who comes equipped with the BU-GI Auto-Breacher gadget — an armored drone that can tear through floors and barricades and completely destroy Defender traps.

PC gamers have long embraced RGB lighting schematics as part of their set-up, and it has even been a recurring joke within the community that the additional lighting in your build can improve the frame rates of your favorite games. While frames do win games, the idea that RGB lighting can affect your frame rate has no merit. A more effective way to win your matches is with an elite controller like the BigBig Won Rainbow 2 Pro controller.
Diablo 4’s second season, Season of Blood, is all about vampires. Players will be able to jump in on Oct. 17, gather up their own vampiric powers, and use them to decimate hordes of blood-sucking undead.
As Epic Games announced a set of mass layoffs yesterday, Ubisoft quietly conducted some of its own. Six members in the community and social media teams were let go, a spokesperson confirmed to Polygon.
Counter-Strike 2 is finally here, which means both long-time fans and newcomers to Valve’s iconic shooter are already hopping in-game to play through the updated maps. CS2 arrived as a free update to Counter-Strike Global Offensive, replacing the latter in the process. Now that CSGO is officially dead and Counter-Strike 2 has taken over, an uptick in fans can be seen on Steam’s charts. CS2 has a whopping amount of players after just one hour, sitting with more than the next top nine Steam games combined.
Ubisoft and Microsoft have teamed up for a Halo crossover in Rainbow Six Siege.
Starfield, like all other Bethesda titles, is not without overlooked features that the players will find joy in exploiting. The Spiffing Brit, a notorious YouTuber known for exploiting systems in games and websites, highlighted a particularly incredible exploit in Starfield that allows players to level up insanely fast. If you want to improve your character quickly and with little effort, then look no further as we delve into his exploit.
Somy Spider-Man fans are still a bit displeased that Insomniac Games didn’t stick with the face that protagonist Peter Parker had in the series’ first instalment. In 2020’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the character was given a completely new face, while his face was also retroactively changed in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, which released at the same time, with the developer stating that the new facial model was a better match for actor Yuri Lowenthal, who plays the character, allowing for better facial capture.
Datamined Mortal Kombat 1 dialogue leaks have revealed that Omni-Man will say a variation of his iconic and memeworthy "Think Mark, think!" line from the comic and show.
Starfield has a pretty decent range of clothing for all you fashionistas out there, but every now and then you'll spot an NPC wearing a particularly attractive suit or outfit that puts your own threads to shame. If you were playing Skyrim, you could simply get into your best sneaking position and attempt to undress the person where they stand, but Starfield has no feature that allows you to swipe the clothes that NPCs are wearing. Even murdering them doesn't let you take the clothes off their body.
Over on the No Man's Sky subreddit, fans think they've uncovered a little nod to the game in Starfield. Given how similar the two are - what with you flying across the stars to map procedurally generated planets where you can set up shop and gather resources - an easter egg like this makes sense.
