Drop News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Drop, now owned by Corsair, just announced its latest custom mechanical keyboard, the CSTM80. I’ve been testing it for the better part of two weeks to see exactly what it has to offer in comparison to Drop’s other keyboards and the wider keyboard market.

Warped space bars; funky, oddly spaced legends, colors that look ever-so-slightly and maddeningly off. Every purchase feels like a roll of the dice: you might get a good set but you may be stuck returning it with days of wasted time behind you.

Drop just released its latest collaboration, an OTL tube amplifier made to drive demanding headphones like the HD6XX – that also just happen to be top picks for gaming. Is the Drop + xDuoo TA-84 worth investing in at a pre-order price of $349? Find out in this review!

Stardew Valley is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite games.

With the 1.6 update looming on the horizon currently, an ever-expanding fanbase, and a newly revealed global tour, Stardew Valley only gets bigger and better.

Blizzard has unveiled that one of the five new boss encounters coming with Season 2, Duriel, King of Maggots, will drop Uber Unique items.

During the Developer Livestream on October 4th, the team shared many significant changes coming to Diablo 4 with the release of Season 2 — Season of Blood.

Instead, these items will now automatically be converted into crafting materials:

Blizzard hosted the first of their two Devstreams regarding the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 2, Season of the Blood, yesterday. And, I have to say…it was actually pretty good. In the trove of quality-of-life changes and enhancements coming to the ARPG, a buff to the drop rate of Uber Uniques was mentioned. Diablo Designer Joe Shely followed up on Twitter afterward confirming the buffed drop rate.

The context collapse has escalated at the site formerly known as Twitter: Starting sometime yesterday, the previews that X automatically generates of shared links now strips them of headlines and displays only the lead art and the link’s domain name in the bottom-left corner.

Scuffings and scratches aside, it remains to be seen how the new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max perform in a drop test considering the tensile strength of the new titanium build.

Ever since the Resident Evil 4 remake launched earlier this year, fans have been crossing their fingers that Separate Ways, the side story featuring Ada Wong from the original version of the game, would also make the translation. Well, sure enough, today during the most recent State of Play showcase Capcom announced Separate Ways is coming our way… next week!

This may not come as a surprise to Musk as over the past few months, the app has been going through many changes and the impact is seen in the decline in downloads rather than an uptick he may have been hoping for.

Wonder and the Super Mario RPG remake on the way, but it seems more news may be coming down the ol’ warp pipe. The company has traditionally held a substantial Nintendo Direct in September, doing so for four of the last five years. Well, if rumors are to be believed, the same will happen this year. As we’ve already reported, longtime Nintendo leaker NatetheHate has hinted a Direct is coming “soon-ish,” and website Universo Nintendo has gone further, suggesting we’ll see something next week between September 11 and September 15. Other insiders have also made hints something is on the way.

Armored Core 6 players haven't taken long to strip back the hood and get tinkering with FromSoftware's mech extravaganza, but a new trend in PvP really does leave everything on the table.

Baldur's Gate 3 is the gift that keeps on giving. Even aside from already-released and upcoming patches that are doing things like giving Karlach a new epilogue and restoring 1,500 lines of missing Minthara dialogue, there are still plenty of little secrets, references and easter eggs tucked away that people are still uncovering.

Today is a hump day of eclectic deals with no particular throughline. "Cheap stuff that's good and worth owning" — that's all I can say for it. If you put a gun to my head and told me to pick the best ones, I'd have to go with the ludicrous longevity represented in a 22% cheaper Diablo IV on PC or a 67% off Diablo III Collection on Xbox. Great games played solo. Phenomenal games in two-player or four-player co-op, respectively.

Teased earlier in the month, Chinese juggernaut Netease Games has announced a new, upcoming PS5 and PS4 open world named Project Mugen – and its debut trailer will almost certainly drop your jaws.

Since Fae Farm’s reveal, players have been excited to jump into the cozy title but had one major hang-up about the upcoming title: its price. Now, with the release date just around the corner, developers Phoenix Labs seem to have heard fan feedback and have reduced the game’s price for its PC release to the delight of fans.

Whether or not the Xbox Series S is going to hold back this generation of consoles has been a topic of conversation for about three years now, and that conversation has only grown louder in recent weeks in the wake of the news that Baldur’s Gate 3 probably won’t be launching for Xbox Series X/S until next year due to Larian Studios facing difficulties with getting splitscreen co-op properly optimized on the weaker machine, with the studio also being unwilling to release the game without the feature.

If you've been looking to pick up a spare gamepad for your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S or PC, it might be a good time to pull the trigger, as Microsoft's official Xbox Wireless Controller is on sale for $44 at Amazon and Walmart. Microsoft itself has the device for a dollar more. While this isn't an all-time low — we saw the controller go for $5 less over Black Friday, for instance — the Xbox pad has typically retailed in the $50 to $55 range in recent months. Note that this price applies to the white, black and red models; the pink, green and "electric volt" colorways, which usually cost $5 more, are each on sale for $49.

We are still fairly new to the latest-generation console cycle. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S console platforms launched during the pandemic. That made things incredibly difficult for consumers as you had shipping issues, limited stock, and resellers buying up all available stock. Fortunately, those days are behind us, and now getting these consoles is relatively easy. But if you think that we are getting any price drops for the Xbox Series X/S as time goes on, think again.

As we noted yesterday, we’re in the midst of one of the biggest weeks in All Elite Wrestling history. Tonight is the final AEW Dynamite show before their biggest PPV ever via All In London, and the head of the company, Tony Khan, has been making all sorts of statements to hype up the event. For example, yesterday, he held a press conference breaking down the event and showcasing how excited the company was about what was about to happen. But then, just before the new day dawned, he dropped another announcement about AEW Fight Forever that fans will want to hear.

We’re now mere days away from the release of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon on both the PS5 and PS4, but publisher Bandai Namco still has important information to share.

It turns out, no matter how much it may feel against us, RNG truly is just RNG — at least when it comes to loot drops. Recently, players took to Reddit to discuss the possibility of loot drops being influenced by outside sources and not solely by RNG. In one thread which picked up quite a bit of steam, players shared anecdotal evidence and experiences of entering a World Tier for the first time and immediately receiving high item power drops, then not seeing more for dozens of levels — and some speculation focused on the contents of your inventory and stash influencing these drops. Thankfully, Blizzard has clarified: these factors have no bearing on the luck of the drop. Drop Rate Discussion on Reddit

Hold onto your warp nacelles and hyperdrives, Starfield aficionados. The game's lead designer Emil Pagliarulo and lead quest designer Will Shen have hosted a Discord Q&A about Bethesda's forthcoming space colossus.

IO Interactive's final flourish with its Hitman trilogy was to bring it all under one roof, with Hitman 3 morphing into Hitman: World of Assassination and adding a roguelike mode alongside everything from the first two games. Or it felt like the final flourish anyway, with the game being maintained and patched since but no new additions (and even IO itself saying Hitman "is a little bit on hiatus").

Call of Duty creators Activision and Infinity Ward have offered a bizarre tease about the return of a controversial maneuver in the FPS game, seemingly confirming that it will become more easily available in Warzone 2, and perhaps be included as part of the next CoD once the Call of Duty Modern Warfare3 release date arrives. A mysterious package sent to a variety of professional Call of Duty Warzone 2 players, including FaZe’s Kris ‘Swagg’ Lamberson, hints strongly at the return of the loved and hated slide canceling. Nevertheless, this has to be one of the most elaborate gaming reveals of 2023.

PlatinumGames co-founder, Bayonetta director and celebrated Twitter shoutyman Hideki Kamiya would like the "retro" game label to go out of fashion. His argument is that calling something "retro" is inherently condescending - each game has its own particular achievements and qualities that deserve to be understood in terms of more than just nostalgia cultivated by a novelty-driven industry. After all, Johnny 90s Developer didn't spend months knocking together a bespoke cover system or fancy artstyle so that you could badge it "quaint", "old school" and so on, 30 years later. Assuming you can still access the game at all.

Larian Studios has confirmed it's working on FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2.2 support in Baldur's Gate 3—a much needed upgrade for anyone gaming on an AMD, Intel, or older Nvidia graphics card.

In light of the newly published financials, the Final Fantasy 14 creator has also seen its share price decline by 12%.

Best Buy is currently offering the historic lowest-ever price on the PS5 in both its editions with a $50 discount for a limited time only. 

We don’t see too many shadow drops in the video game industry, but when it happens, there’s plenty of hype built up immediately to try these games out. For instance, Hi-Fi Rush was a game that dropped back in January of this year. Best of all, you could enjoy it through the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. That title did well, and now we might have another shadow drop release for the Xbox Game Pass service. A new game could be coming out next week, along with its grand reveal. 

QuakeCon is in town, and so too are a whole bunch of discounted goods. That's right, FPS fans, it's time to save like a demon and slay AAAs like there's no tomorrow. Meanwhile, it looks like the VR wars of recent days are continuing in earnest. The standalone PS VR2 unit is being aggressively priced to counter the imminent appearance of the (considerably expensive) Meta Quest 3.
