With the release of Apple’s new major software updates for Apple TV, Mac, iPad, and iPhone, the company has begun selling Microsoft’s Xbox One controllers on its website. Strangely, there’s no sign of the DualShock 4 controller right now.

Purchasing the Xbox One wireless controller sets you back $60 USD, the same price it typically costs at other retailers like Best Buy and GameStop. While The Verge reports that no Apple retail stores carry the controller in stock at the moment, nabbing it through Apple’s website gives you the option of next-day shipping. It’s worth noting that the Xbox One wireless controller is currently on sale at Amazon for $44 USD and comes with free one-day shipping.

Apple introduced gamepad support for both the DualShock 4 and the Xbox One wireless controllers with the launch of its major operating system updates. These include iOS 13 for iPhone, iPadOS for iPad, macOS Catalina for Mac, and tvOS 13 for Apple TV–all of which released in September except Catalina, which become available earlier this week. All software updates are free to download for most Apple devices.

These new software updates brought the inclusion of Apple Arcade, the company’s subscription service that gives you access to hundreds of games for $5 USD a month. We compiled a list of some of the best games available on the platform right now. We also have an ongoing list of Arcade games available at launch and beyond. Apple has confirmed an assortment of publishers working on Arcade games, including Devolver Digital, Konami, Platinum Games, Sega, and many more.

Via Blizzard Battle.net, Activision announced the PC specs for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Both the minimum and recommended requirements are listed, so you’ll be able to check whether your machine can run the game prior to its October 25 release date. We’ve outlined both specifications below.

Both the minimum and recommended PC specs for Modern Warfare are very close to those for last year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. If your machine ran Black Ops 4 with no issue, it’s probable that it will handle Modern Warfare as well. Just be sure you clear out enough space on your machine’s hard drive for the new game–175 GB is no joke.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare PC Specs

Minimum Requirements

  • Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit (SP1) or Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i3-4340 or AMD FX-6300
  • Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon HD 7950 – DirectX 12.0 compatible system
  • Memory: 8GB RAM
  • Storage: 175 GB available hard drive space
  • Internet: Broadband Internet connection

Recommended Requirements

  • Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit latest update
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Ryzen R5 1600X
  • Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon R9 390 / AMD Radeon RX 580 – DirectX 12.0 compatible system
  • Memory: 12 GB RAM
  • Storage: 175 GB available hard drive space
  • Internet: Broadband Internet connection

Prior to release, we’ve played through a few of Modern Warfare’s multiplayer modes, including Ground War, Gunfight, and Cyber Attack. There are no major adjustments to the overall Call of Duty formula in any of these game types, but small tweaks–such as movement, weapon feedback, and adaptive loadouts–do make some of these multiplayer modes a joy to play. Both Realism and NVG matches are welcome additions too, if for no other reason than their rulesets.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a soft reboot for the series, utilizing familiar characters from the previous three Modern Warfare games but telling a story that’s disconnected from the continuity. Developer Infinity Ward intends for the game to be hyper-realistic, depicting the horrifying tragedy of modern-day warfare–a statement that seemingly goes against the inclusion of white phosphorus in multiplayer as a kill streak reward, which has sparked controversy. During the game’s open beta, it was revealed that Modern Warfare features cross-save support, allowing you to take your campaign and multiplayer progress with you between Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Fortnite Visitor Recordings In Moisty Palms And Greasy Grove (Season 10 Overtime)

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

We’re inching closer to the end of Fortnite Season 10, and a new Out of Time challenge is available to complete in the battle royale game. This one also has you tracking down audio logs left by the Visitor–the mysterious time-traveling character who first appeared back in Season 4 and returned to the game this season.

While the Visitor’s motives are unclear, these recordings give a bit of insight into what he’s up to and help set the stage for this weekend’s big world-changing event. This time, you’ll need to collect Visitor recordings in Moisty Palms and Greasy Grove. If you need help tracking those down, we’ve put together this guide showing you where the recordings are located.

Where Are The Visitor Recording Locations?

As the challenge states, there are two recordings to find: one in Moisty Palms, the other in Greasy Grove. These recordings look like cassette tapes and are fairly small, so they’ll likely be hard to spot if you don’t already know where to look. The one in Moisty Palms is atop a tall, white brick hotel in the northwestern corner of the area, while the recording in Greasy Grove can be found in one of the booths inside the taco restaurant.

How To Complete The Challenge

Once you know where the recordings are hidden, simply head to the right locations and pick them up as you would any other item in the game. Collect both and the challenge will be completed, earning you more season XP.

There are still a few Out of Time challenges awaiting before Season 10 ends, so these likely aren’t the last recordings you’ll need to find. Be sure to also check out our guide on where to find the Visitor recordings on the floating island and in Retail Row. And if you need hep completing any other challenges from earlier in the season, head over to our full Fortnite Season 10 challenges roundup.

PS4’s Newest First-Party Exclusive Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Sony has its major PlayStation 4 exclusive, Death Stranding, coming out in just a few weeks, The Last of Us Part 2 finally got its big re-reveal with hours of hands-on and a release date, and the Ghost of Tsushima and the PS5 is still on the way. But, if you’re a PS4 owner, you shouldn’t be turning a blind eye to a smaller scale but big-hearted Sony first-party game debuting this week, Concrete Genie.

Concrete Genie is the second game from Pixelopus, a first-party Sony studio that previously developed Entwined. And while it may not be working at the scale of a Naughty Dog or Guerilla Games, Concrete Genie is still a wonderful, heartwarming adventure that can stand proud alongside the God of Wars and The Last of Us. It’s important that Sony is still focusing on smaller stories, and Concrete Genie is well worth your time if you’re looking for a short, sweet, unique tale.

The Batman’s Grave Finds Disturbing New Angle on Bruce Wayne

The Batman’s Grave is a real double-edged sword for comic book readers. On one hand, who actually wants or needs another Batman comic in their life right now? Between the traditional DCU and the Black Label imprint, DC’s current publishing lineup is as Batman-driven as its ever been. On the other, it’s not every day DC launches a new series from the creators of The Authority, a comic that did as much as any other to reshape the superhero genre at the dawn of the 21st Century? The Batman’s Grave probably won’t make quite as significant an impact, but it does manage to bring something new to such a familiar character.

That said, this first issue does take its time before getting to the good stuff. Initially, writer Warren Ellis and artist Bryan Hitch dabble in familiar Batman tropes – wide shots of the Dark Knight navigating his city, scenes of would-be muggers getting punched in the face, gruesome murder scenes, etc. Initially, it doesn’t seem as though The Batman’s Grave has much to offer than can’t be found in any number of other Bat-books.
