We're in the endgame now of Destiny 2's latest narrative arc, as all the pieces are finally beginning to fall into place. Two queens plot, an amnesiac murderer demands answers, and Hive war god Xivu Arath shows no signs of slowing down her assault on the Awoken ascendant realms.With your your newly-acquired trace rifle though, the odds are still in your favor as the sixth week of Season of the Lost shines a spotlight on hitting a few rounds of Astral Alignment, polishing a piece of gear to its highest level, and putting champions in their place.Like previous weeks, you won't have to complete every objective within seven days as Destiny 2 stacks new seasonal challenges on top of older ones. The advantage to this system is that it not only allows you to prioritize the tasks you deem most important, but you can sometimes complete multiple challenges at the same time.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fortunately, that tight gaming squeeze can be expanded with a micro SD card, storage devices that now offer hundreds of extra gigabytes of space without breaking your bank balance.It's well worth investing in a micro SD card, and if you're looking to pop one into your Nintendo Switch, here's how you can do it. We recommend SanDisk Ultra microSD cards, as they offer great performance and reliability at a reasonable price. See SanDisk Ultra at Amazon Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Many of Destiny 2's past changes have focused on Stasis powers, but Bungie is now turning its attention to Void subclasses. These will get significantly changed in the upcoming Witch Queen expansion to bring them more in line with Stasis, and GameSpot recently had the chance to speak with game director Joe Blackburn to get a few more details on what the subclass overhaul will entail.Back in August, when Bungie first revealed The Witch Queen, it also announced that the expansion will include Void 3.0. This update will be a big rework of how Void subclasses currently operate, giving players the ability to apply three negative effects to enemies and three positive effects to teammates. It will also be overhauled to increase customization through the use of Aspects and Fragments.Blackburn assuaged concerns that long-time players might have about these changes, saying that veterans won't have to completely re-earn their subclass abilities. "If they're a regular Destiny player, if they've put their time in, [they will find] that there's going to be a ton of aspects and fragments, all the supers you'd expect to be there," he explained.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Netflix's South Korean drama Squid Game, a gory drama-thriller series where "hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games" with deadly high stakes for incredible prizes, is reportedly poised to overtake Bridgerton as the streaming service's most-watched show. This news was self-reported by Netflix and further covered by Variety, who also notes that Squid Game has become the first K-Drama to rate as Netflix's top show in the United States.Released on September 17, within 48 hours it had entered the top 10 shows globally. On September 21, it took the top spot. "We did not see that coming, in terms of its global popularity," Ted Sarandos, Netflix's co-CEO and chief content officer, told Variety.By way of comparison, Bridgerton, the period drama about England's Regency era, debuted on Christmas Day last year and by January it was proclaimed (again by Netflix) to be its "biggest show ever." Even without numbers giving a grounded sense of the success, think of it this way: As production on Season 2 was just getting started in April, it was already picked up for Seasons 3 and 4. Squid Game is reported to be pacing to outperform that kind of viewership.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fortnite Season 8 got off to a slow start in the eyes of many players, thanks largely to a faulty seasonal XP system that offered too few challenges for too little XP. Epic fielded complaints from players for weeks and promised a fix. Now that it's here, it's plain to see things are much improved. XP is now more generously awarded to players completing challenges.Prior to the Fortnite 18.10 patch, players were kept from leveling up their battle pass quickly thanks to a dearth of both challenges and XP per each challenge. Today's patch addresses both of those complaints. For starters, the daily XP gains have increased from 17,000 XP per challenge to 30,000, and each player can unlock three dailies at this nearly doubled rate.Fortnite players will enjoy much better XP rewards thanks to the 18.10 patch.NPC quests have also vastly improved. The old system would award a growing number of XP with each subsequent quest in a character's five-part questline, totaling 80,000 XP by the end of any questline. Now each challenge offers the same number of XP at each stop along the way--30,000 a piece-- totaling 150,000 XP for completing a questline the first time through.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Nintendo Switch is an impressive hybrid handheld and home console, but internal storage is one of its weak points. The original Switch and the Switch Lite model only have 32 GB of internal storage, while this year's new OLED model doubles up and offers 64 GB of space to house your digital game purchases. That's a decent amount of space for small games, but you'll quickly find yourself running out of room when you start installing more demanding titles.There's three solutions to this problem: Buy the physical version of games whenever possible, or invest in a microSD card that has sufficient storage capacity. The third fix is more drastic though, as you can free up space by simply deleting games and save data, freeing up some room on your Switch for new purchases. If that's the only option available to you, here's how you can do it.How to delete Nintendo Switch gamesOn the Switch home screen or All Software menu, highlight the game you want to delete and press the + button on the right-hand controller.
