Fortnite's Week 6's challenges are now live on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and mobile, giving players across all platforms another opportunity to earn Battle Stars and level up their Season 8 Battle Pass--and to work toward the upcoming Ruin skin. Unlike recent weeks, which had especially straightforward challenges to complete, a couple of those in Week 6 may require some assistance. This includes one that asks you to visit a wooden rabbit, stone pick, and metal llama. If you're not sure where to go, this handy guide will point you in the right direction.As you can probably gather from the challenge's name, you'll need to find the giant, animal-shaped structures somewhere around the island to claim your Battle Stars. This can seem a bit daunting, particularly if you aren't too familiar with Fortnite's map. Fortunately, however, you don't need to visit all three within a single round, so you can simply glide from the Battle Bus to a different animal structure across three matches and complete the challenge.The wooden rabbit can be found in quadrant A4, on a hill located between Haunted Hills and Snobby Shores. The stone pig, meanwhile, is directly east of Lucky Landing, and the metal llama is just northwest of Junk Junction. We've marked their exact locations on the map below. You can also watch the video at the top of this guide to give you a better look at where you need to go.Once you've visited all three of the structures, you'll earn five Battle Stars, bringing you another step closer to unlock Season 8's Battle Pass rewards. Most of Week 6's other challenges are more straightforward, so you should be able to complete them just by playing the game normally. However, you may have trouble knowing where to find the highest elevations on the island, so we've put together another guide laying out where they are located. We've also got a guide to where the knife points on the treasure map loading screen. You can get help on all of Season 8's challenges in our guide; we now know what the secret Ruin skin looks like that awaits if you can complete every challenge in eight different weeks this season.Week 6's challenges arrive on the heels of Fortnite's 8.20 content update, which introduced another new weapon to the game: the Boom Bow. What makes this bow unique is that it has shotgun shells on its arrow tips, making them explode upon impact. The update also brought back the Sniper Showdown limited-time mode and buffed peppers, one of the several scavenged items recently added to the game.Info from Gamespot.com

Season 8 of Fortnite rolls on with a new set of challenges to complete across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, and mobile. Week 6's challenges run the gamut from visiting animal-shaped structures to finding the highest elevations on the island, but another one that may throw you for a loop is to search where the knife points on the Treasure Map loading screen. Fortunately, we've got you covered.Much like the similar challenge from Week 4, all you need to do is look where the knife rests on the Treasure Map loading screen (pictured below), then head to that location to find a free Battle Star. What makes this a bit tricky is that the map isn't labeled, so if you aren't familiar with the layout of the island, it may not be entirely clear where you need to go, but the Battle Star can be found near Lonely Lodge.Specifically, the star will appear in the middle of a forest located in-between Lonely Lodge and the racetrack north of Paradise Palms, near the top of quadrant J6. Pick it up like you would any other item, then finish the match and you'll complete the challenge. If you need more help finding it, you can watch us collect the Battle Star in the video at the top of this guide.There are still a few weeks remaining in Fortnite Season 8, so you still have time to complete any outstanding challenges from earlier weeks and unlock all the new Battle Pass rewards. If you need help finishing them, you can find tips and guides for all of the trickier tasks in our complete Fortnite Season 8 challenges roundup.Week 6's challenges follow shortly after the release of Fortnite's 8.20 content update, which added another new weapon to the game: the Boom Bow. Unlike typical bows, this one has shotgun shells on its arrow tips which will explode upon impact. On top of that, the update brought back the Sniper Showdown LTM and gave a buff to peppers, one of the new scavenged items recently added to the game.Info from Gamespot.com

Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which are among the best-selling Nintendo Switch games, are getting virtual reality support through Labo VR.For Mario Odyssey, this will come in the form of three new mini missions that involve collecting musical notes and coins. These are apparently set in the Cap, Seaside, and Luncheon kingdoms.Experience 2 beloved games in new ways with the Toy-Con VR Goggles from the #NintendoLabo: VR Kit! https://t.co/be8xudP2PK pic.twitter.com/M0C6w59lIT — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) April 5, 2019As for Breath of the Wild, it seems the entire game is playable with Labo VR, with the one exception being that pre-rendered cutscenes do not support VR. You can simply toggle Labo VR on or off from the settings menu, and thankfully you do not need to create a new game to play with Labo VR.Both games will be updated on April 25 to support Labo VR.The Nintendo Labo VR set launches on April 12. The $80 USD kit is billed by Nintendo as the "most immersive, robust Nintendo Labo kit to date..." The kit also comes with a "programming tool" that can be used to create VR games.

The next big update for The Division 2 is now live, and it adds a new, more challenging difficulty mode, as well as a new World Tier, weekly invasions, new weapons and gear, and more. Not only that, but the first raid is on the way at the end of the month.Operation Dark Hours, The Division 2's first raid, is slated to arrive on April 25. It's an eight-player raid that is described as "the toughest of all challenges," and one that will "test the teamwork of the most experienced agents."Even further out, Ubisoft will add a new Specialization to The Division 2, but there is no word yet on what it'll be or when it'll release.Friday's new update, Tidal Basin, is part of the first post-launch free content, Invasion: Battle for D.C., and it arrived on April 5. It adds a new stronghold, Tidal Basin, which is occupied by the Black Tusk faction. "Tidal Basin is now home to some of the most powerful enemies in the game, and they're not going down easy," Ubisoft says.Players who successfully complete the stronghold will rise to World Tier 5, and in turn this lets players get gear scores in the range of 450-500. Reaching World Tier 5 unlocks new weekly invasions that see Black Tusk enemies take over missions and strongholds throughout D.C. They are described as "harder" than other challenges, and the reward for completing them is better loot and gear.Additionally, Invasion: Battle for D.C. adds a new Heroic difficulty setting that Ubisoft says makes for "some of the most challenging gameplay yet." On top of that, new two exotic weapons, Pestilence and Nemesis, along with gear sets True Patriot, Hardwired, and Ongoing Directive, are coming to The Division 2 in the update.In addition, a new PvP map titled Fort McNair is added in the update, while there are more cosmetics to acquire through the Invasion Apparel Event.Invasion: Battle for D.C. is the first of at least three free content drops for The Division 2 in its Year 1. The others include Episode 1: DC Outskirts Expedition (Summer 2019), Episode 2: Pentagon: The Last Castle (Fall 2019), and Episode 3 (Winter 2019).Info from Gamespot.com

Halo: Reach is coming to Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One and PC, and now Microsoft has shared the first image of what the game looks like from the main menu. Microsoft shared a work-in-progress version of Reach in the campaign section of MCC on Xbox One. As you can see, it's left of Halo: CE, as it's a prequel to that game.Halo: Reach is expected to come to both Xbox One and PC later this month through its first "flight" AKA beta test. To get in to the test, you need to register to become a Halo Insider, which you can do here. For PC, you'll need to upload your DxDiag and link your Steam ID.The number of people who signed up already "blew away" Microsoft's expectations, the company said, so it further warns that it "simply cannot accomodate everyone."On PC, each title within the Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be sold individually, but the "flights" are free, if you get in. And in a big change for the series, Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be available through Steam.Halo: The Master Chief Collection originally launched in November 2014 for Xbox One. It faced serious and significant server issues at launch that made the title basically unplayable for some. Microsoft improved the experience significantly over time, and today the title is mostly stable and highly populated with players thanks in part to its inclusion with Xbox Game Pass. Info from Gamespot.com

Halo: The Master Chief Collection has received yet another major update, and this one includes a series of significant changes, one of which should make most multiplayer games run smoother.The new update available now "upgrade[s] the rate at which network packets are sent by the server" for Halo 2, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo. Additionally, the amount of data that individual packets can hold is increased. What this means is that each game should now run more smoothly and reliably. For Halo 3 specifically, the clients previously sent 15 packets per second, with the server sending 30 per second. But with the update, servers and clients send 60 packets per second. That puts it in line with the 60FPS frame rate.Here's how Microsoft's Dana Jerpbak summed up the changes:"We've upgraded the rate at which network packets are sent by the server in Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 2A. We have also increased limits on how much data each individual packet can contain," Jerpbak said. "This includes data about the position of bipeds, where they're aiming, what projectiles they're firing, etc. The server prioritizes what data is contained in a packet until it reaches a maximum size. In gaps where the client hasn't received a certain type of information from the server (due to latency or prioritization), the client predicts what this information should be based on the last data received. It then corrects its predictions upon receiving new data.""This can result in cases of rubber-banding' where a biped's position is predicted locally and then corrected by the server. By increasing the allowed size of packets as well as their frequency, we have significantly reduced these gaps. This results in less prediction and correction due to more frequent and more complete updates from the server. In Halo 3, the clients would send 15 packets per second to the server, while the server would send 30 packets per second to all clients. Now both servers and clients will be networking at 60 packets per second, aligning with the framerate."You may still experience some rubber-banding, as the rate at which packets can be sent depends on your network environment. But overall, Jerpbak said "the increased send rates should generally result in an overall smoother online experience. This improvement affects dedicated servers as well as peer servers in peer-to-peer matches."Jerpbak said Microsoft conducted "extensive" internet and external testing, and Microsoft has concluded that the changes will have a positive impact.You can read more about the network changes in this ridiculously in-depth blog post.The new MCC update also comes with makeover themed around Yapyap The Destroyer from Halo Wars 2. You'll immediately notice that the splash screen and the main menu have received a Yapyap-themed takeover, while there is a nice Yapyap game selection option in Social Matchmaking; if you play enough you can earn a Yapyap nameplate and more.The new MP loading screenAnother big update is that loading screens in multiplayer now display lots more detail, including the map name, the primary starting weapon, the time limit, the score to win, the Gamertags of people in your session, the data center hosting dedicated server of the match, as well as the game type and description and other helpful hints and tips.For campaign, the new loading screens now display the mission name, the difficulty, and the Skulls you have turned on, among other things.You can read this Halo Waypoint article to see a full breakdown of what's new.In other news, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming to PC, and the rollout process begins with a beta test for Halo: Reach later this month. A similar beta test, or a "flight" in the Microsoft parlance, will be held on Xbox One.Beyond that, Microsoft is expected to discuss Halo Infinite (and new Xbox consoles) at E3 this year, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

Xbox Live Gold subscribers will soon need to pay more for their membership, as Microsoft confirms it's raising the price of its premium service across the UK. The new prices will take effect from May 8."To ensure gamers have consistent pricing for Xbox Live Gold across Europe we are making changes to UK pricing from May 8," a Microsoft spokesperson told GameSpot. "Prices will rise by £1 a month for our monthly subscriptions, £3 for our quarterly subscriptions, and by £10 a year for an annual membership. This new pricing is aligned to the changes we made in [Europe] in 2016 as we strive to offer our members premium gaming and entertainment services at a fair price. We have notified members whose accounts are on recurring billing in the UK so they are aware well in advance."Taking the rise into account, the new cost for a month of Gold will be £7, while a quarterly subscription will set you back £18. A yearly subscription, which Microsoft says is its best-value option, will cost £50. The company did not state if its 6-month option, currently priced at £30, will see a price hike.Xbox Live Gold pricing is now approximately in line with that of PS Plus in Europe. Other regions will seemingly not be affected by the changes.Xbox Live Gold prices increased across some parts of Europe in 2016, but it's been many years since the UK (or US) saw its prices rise. Since 2016, however, the British pound has suffered poorer exchange rates with many other countries' currencies.Aside from online multiplayer, Xbox Live Gold comes with an array of benefits, such as free monthly games. April's free Xbox Games with Gold include The Technomancer, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, and Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005), and they're available now.Info from Gamespot.com

We're more than halfway through Season 8 of Fortnite now, which means players who have been keeping up with the game's weekly challenges should be getting close to unlocking this season's secret Legendary skin.

It's the weekend in Destiny 2, and it's time to party with the special snake-faced weekend vendor, Xur. That means grabbing an Invitation of the Nine, and purchasing some Exotic weapons and armor from the Agent of the Nine to fill out your collection.Head out to Titan to find Xur this week--he's hanging out on The Rig. Head to the north end of the platform and check inside a low building near its edge to find him. This week, you can pick up D.A.R.C.I., a sniper rifle that offers a bunch of targeting perks. Its Personal Assistant gives you information about enemies when you aim at them through the gun's scope, and using the perk gives you better target acquisition and extra precision damage.While there was a dearth of Forsaken Exotics in Xur's bag last week, this week is a little less disappointing. Hunters can grab the Gwisin Vest chest armor from Forsaken, which gives back Super energy for the kills you make with Spectral Blades in between activating the Super's invisibility. For Titans, there's the Antaeus Wards leg armor, another Forsaken Exotic. The boots let you reflect incoming projectiles when sliding, and using the reflection perk gives you Super energy. Warlocks aren't as lucky--they're stuck with Winter's Guile from the Year One collection, which boosts your melee damage for every melee kill you rack up.Here are all the Exotics Xur offers this week and what they'll cost you:D.A.R.C.I. (Exotic sniper rifle) -- 29 Legendary ShardsAntaeus Wards (Exotic Titan leg armor) -- 23 Legendary ShardsGwisin Vest (Exotic Hunter chest armor) -- 23 Legendary ShardsWinter's Guile (Exotic Warlock gauntlets) -- 23 Legendary ShardsYou can also buy a Fated Engram, if you can afford it. Dropping 97 Legendary Shards on the item will grant you one Year One Exotic you don't already have for that character. Xur also offers the Five of Swords challenge card for free, which allows you to add difficulty modifiers that increase your score in Nightfall runs.Xur brings another Invitation of the Nine this week, a weekly bounty that gives you a Powerful gear drop, a bit of story about the Nine, and a new Lore entry. If you've been keeping up each week, this one will send you to Io to complete The Pyramidion strike. You'll also need to kill Cabal, Taken, and Vex enemies.Info from Gamespot.com

Following 2015's sleeper-hit Her Story, creator Sam Barlow initially wasn't keen on making a similar game right after. However, as the framework for his follow-up took shape, the writer/director found his past's game approach to storytelling as a compelling hook for his new tale. In Telling Lies, you'll investigate the lives of four strangers over a period of two years; each of them has their own secrets and personal trauma. By witnessing brief glimpses of their lives from private videos, you'll uncover the larger story that connects them all together.We spent some time talking with the game's writer and director during GDC 2019, where he gave us the rundown on what to expect with his return to the interactive video drama. In essence, Telling Lies takes Her Story's foundation of an interactive drama and expands its scope. Featuring a larger cast of characters, portrayed by film and TV actors such as Logan Marshall-Green, Kerry Bishé, Alexandra Shipp, and Angela Sarafyan, it puts more of a focus on the private moments that individuals have alone with their devices, and how relationships are affected when filtered through a personal phone or webcam.With an air of voyeurism similar to films like Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies, and Videotape and Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation, the overarching story unfolds on a modern desktop with access to an NSA database. Playing heavily to the modern paranoia surrounding increased surveillance, this conceit allows you to search through hours of recorded footage taken from phones, computers, and dashboard cameras, revealing plenty of personal and raw moments. According to Barlow, when the larger story begins to form, you'll come to understand why you're examining these characters in the first place.Similar to Her Story, Telling Lies will have you comb through footage looking for the key information that fills in the blanks of a fractured timeline. Moving away from Her Story's '90s-era tech, the player interface in Telling Lies--another desktop--is more modern, allowing for greater flexibility in how you can interpret and piece together the story. By searching keywords, you'll be able to find clips that include the use of that word. Engaging the clip will start you at the point where the keyword is spoken by the person of interest. From here, you'll be able to play the video for its duration, even if you landed on the last word spoken in the clip, or scrub it back to see what came before--possibly unearthing a new clue.Barlow explained that Telling Lies not only examines intimacy in the modern age but also plays with the concept of context and what you bring with your perspective. In Her Story, it became apparent over the course of the game that figuring out the crime that Hannah was suspected of wasn't necessarily the true goal. Rather, it was more of a character study and an exercise in fostering empathy for her, faults and all. According to Barlow, Telling Lies is about "exploring the larger story through the negative space," an idea that stuck with him during the making and ensuing reception of Her Story."It's kind of doubling down on the sense of narrative I had with Her Story," Barlow said. "People would play that game and one of the big positives they came away with was they felt like they had an intimate experience when spending that time with that character, listening to her talk, and it felt like they had a connection and empathized with her in a way. Despite it being essentially a computer interface, it all felt quite organic and human in a way. You get to explore [the story] through these more character-driven and intimate moments, which is a very different texture to most video games."Some clips will show various characters during some mundane moments, without anything of consequence happening. However, another video might show a pivotal, and likely serious, event, which can give previous clips new meaning. Discovering the context of many of these clips can add new layers to the key characters, which can affect your perception of their relationships with others. Though it all seems to be in a similar vein as Her Story, and Barlow said that Telling Lies hits something more social than its predecessor could."I think it's an interesting question when you make something that is as different and weird as Her Story," said Barlow. "I deliberately did not immediately want to make a sequel with Her Story, and I gave myself some distance from it. Once I came back to it and I was like, 'What was interesting to me about that game that I think I could do more with? What direction can I take it in?'"One of the more remarkable things about Her Story was the way it used its detective conceit as a means to examine its key character. Thanks to its non-linear approach, you could unearth details about the lead at your own pace. Barlow seems to be aware of what made the original work, reinforcing the flow of the narrative and the sense of distance from a story that's long since past. However, the new focus on a larger cast can make for a more intriguing plot, which may play out in its most raw and intimate forms.Telling Lies is set for release sometime in 2019 and will be published by Annapurna Interactive.Info from Gamespot.com

Shazam! May be a fun, kid-friendly blast of positive energy for the DCEU that stands well on its own, but that it also sets up some big things to come in the future--after all, for all the jokes and the bright colors, this movie is introducing a whole new corner of DC's long and complicated comic book history into the mix for the movies.And its post-credits scene just takes it all one step further with even more vintage comic book insanity brought to life on the big screen.Shazam Spoilers below, so proceed with caution.The movie leaves us off with a clear set up for a sequel--not only does Billy successfully battle both Sivana and the seven deadly sins, he also empowers his foster family in the process. The newly formed team establishes their very own lair within the Rock of Eternity, where they'll probably make more than a few messes in the process of keeping the magical world safe from evil. C'mon, who could blame them? They're kids set loose in an extremely dangerous (and wonderful) candy store--and there are some pretty major threats looming just over the horizon.Meet Mr. MindAlright, I hope you're ready to get weird, because we're about to get really, really weird. The first post-credits stinger features an incarcerated Dr. Sivana--looking a whole lot more like the original comic book Dr. Sivana of the 1940s, stooped over, wearing glasses, and so on. He's frantically trying to find his way back to the Rock of Eternity by endlessly scribbling on his cell walls and apparently having absolutely no luck.But just as his pencil breaks and he feels all hope is lost--a voice. A computer generated voice that just so happens to be coming from a worm. A worm with a plan to break Sivana out of jail.So, OK, those words together in that sentence probably seem like nonsense even in a movie as goofy as Shazam. But don't worry, it's not a gag or even a punchline. This is all real-deal comic book stuff. Remember back at the beginning of the movie when young Sivana was first transported to the Rock of Eternity, and there was a brief shot of a tiny caterpillar in a glass case? And later, when Billy was transported to the Rock, the caterpillar's case was broken and the caterpillar itself was missing?Well, we found him. Or rather, he found Sivana. Mr. Mind may not look like the most intimidating supervillain in the world--he's, well, a bug, no beating around the bush there--but he's actually got a pretty devious track record in the DC Universe. There's a reason the wizard had him locked up like a magical trophy.Mr. Mind got his start back in the 1940s, when superhero comics were just getting their start, as an intentionally goofy threat. He was a non-threatening, easy-to-understand pastiche of fascism--something that the kids reading comics in the Golden Age would have definitely heard their parents talking about, even before Pearl Harbor, but probably didn't completely understand. He was a megalomaniacal worm from outer space with a genius level intellect and "the conscience of Hitler" (no, really.)Of course, he was largely made to be pretty easily dispatched by Billy and friends--but that didn't stop Mind from constantly trying to scheme his way into world domination. As part of said schemes, Mind actually founded one of the first ever supervillain team ups in comics history: the Monster Society of Evil, an extremely goofy name for a pretty goofy group of ne're-do-wells with a revolving roster that traditionally included both Mind and Sivana alongside some of Billy's other frequent foes.Obviously the post credits scene here--Mind breaking Sivana out of prison--is implying the formation of a live action Monster Society in one way or another, but the group's goals (and other members) are still largely mysterious. As with most of the vintage comics campiness that has persisted to the modern day, Mr. Mind and the Monster Society have been overhauled a few times over to make them less hilarious and more genuinely scary--including a reveal that Mind's worm form was merely his larval stage, prior to his metamorphosis into a giant cosmic moth capable of eating the space time continuum.So, what we're saying is there are a lot of potential avenues a live action Monster Society could take. We might see Mr. Mind turn into a silly gag villain, or we might see him destroy the entire DCEU. Your guess is as good as ours.Talking To FishThe final post credits sequence is considerably less jam packed with foreshadowing. We get to see yet another of Freddy and Billy's super power tests--this time to check out whether or not Billy can talk to fish--an obvious wink to Aquaman.Outside of the occasional t-shirt, Freddy makes no mention of Arthur Curry in his superhero fan collections, so this moment is actually the only real Aquaman reference in Shazam. He's probably still too new on the scene for Freddy to have found much real life merch, right? After all, the whole Atlantis thing did just happen.Who knows, maybe someday Arthur will show up at Fawcett High to impress all of Billy and Freddy's friends like Clark did at the end of the movie--though we probably shouldn't get our hopes up for that one.Read next: Why Shazam is DC's most fun movie yetInfo from Gamespot.com

Toys-to-life as a concept infiltrated the games industry toward the end of the last console generation. Production of the plastic figurines has significantly slowed down since then, with a few heavy-hitters--such as Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions--discontinuing production altogether. Ubisoft's open-world game, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, is following suit, as the developers have announced that the game won't get any more toys.In an update posted to the official Starlink website, the Starlink development team confirmed that physical toys will not continue to roll out. "Despite the immense and continuous support from our players, the sales for Starlink: Battle for Atlas fell below expectations. Consequently, we recently made the decision to not release any additional physical toys for the Spring update and in the future."While the news is saddening for fans, the Starlink team isn't done with with the game altogether, as it's preparing to release the "biggest update to the game so far.""Starlink: Battle for Atlas has been a passion project for us from the start, and we are incredibly proud of the modular Starship technology we have developed, and how well players have responded to it," it said.The update the team is referring to was announced during Nintendo's February Direct. Along with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Super Mario Maker 2, and Tetris 99 reveals, the rest of the Star Fox team--Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad--will join Fox McCloud in a new series of missions in Starlink on Switch. Each pilot comes with their own special abilities and skill trees and can be used to play any mission available in the game. In addition to the inclusion of the Star Fox team, Starlink will receive more content in this forthcoming update, such as Starship Races, Factions Missions, and more. The update is planned for this April, but no specific release date has been given.In our Starlink review, we called it "an interesting and enjoyable open-world game," but lamented that "if you're interested in the physical models, you'll have to spend more to get the same experience as the digital version."Starlink: Battle for Atlas is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.Info from Gamespot.com
