Red Dead Redemption 2 Is $30 During Prime Day Sales

Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 is an impressive achievement in video game design and development. It depicts an open-world that envelops you and fills it with characters and stories that will stick with you long after the credits have rolled. If you haven’t already played it–and a gritty, emotionally powerful wild west story sounds appealing–there are a couple of discounts as part of the Amazon Prime Day sales that will get you the game for cheap.

Ironically, the game is actually cheapest at Walmart, which–like many other retailers–is capitalizing on the increased desire to spend money created by Amazon’s Prime Day by having a sale of its own. The upshot is that Red Dead Redemption 2 is available at the retailer for just $30, which is half the usual $60 asking price. If you’ve got a Walmart nearby you can have it ordered to a store and pick it up for free so you’re not spending extra on delivery.

Red Dead Redemption 2 received a 9/10 in GameSpot’s review. Kallie Plagge said that, while the game focuses on Arthur Morgan’s story, it’s also “about the entire Van der Linde gang–as a community, as an idea, and as the death rattle of the Wild West. It is about Arthur, too, but as the lens through which you view the gang, his very personal, very messy story supports a larger tale.

She continued: “Some frustrating systems and a predictable mission structure end up serving that story well, though it does take patience to get through them and understand why. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an excellent prequel, but it’s also an emotional, thought-provoking story in its own right, and it’s a world that is hard to leave when it’s done.” Read our full Red Dead Redemption 2 review for a deeper analysis of the game.

In addition to Red Dead Redemption 2, Walmart is also one of the few retailers offering a discount on the Nintendo Switch. It also has games like Destiny 2, Skyrim, Fallout 76, Metro Exodus, NBA 2K19, and more on sale. Check out our full list of deals at Walmart on Amazon Prime day for everything noteworthy.

Fortnite: Week 10 Secret Fortbyte #33 Location Guide (Season 9 Utopia Challenge)

Fortnite‘s Week 10 challenges are now live, which means Season 9 of Epic’s popular battle royale shooter is starting to wind down. Before Season 10 arrives, however, there’s another new Fortbyte up for grabs, and the clue to where you can find it rests within the special loading screen you’ll unlock when you complete this season’s tenth Utopia challenge.

The Fortbyte in question is number 33. Much like the secret Battle Stars you can collect after completing odd-numbered Utopia challenges, the only in-game hint you’ll receive to the item’s whereabouts is tied to the aforementioned loading screen, which you can take a look at below. However, the clue isn’t within the loading screen itself, but rather in its description, which reads, “You’re a long, long way from Lonely Lodge…”

Naturally, this means Fortbyte #33 is hidden in Lonely Lodge, which is located on the eastern edge of the island. However, the Fortbyte isn’t with the main lodge, but rather inside a smaller cabin to the east of it. We’ve marked its exact location on the map below. If you need a more visual guide, you can watch us collect the Fortbyte in the video above.

Unlock the aforementioned secret Battle Stars you can collect for completing this season’s Utopia challenges, you don’t actually need to finish the corresponding tasks before you can find these Fortbytes; you simply need to own a Season 9 Battle Pass. That means you’re free to go collect the item even if you haven’t unlocked the above loading screen. However, you will want to complete as many challenges as you can this season, as that’s the only way to quickly level your Battle Pass up and unlock rewards. If you need help, we have tips and guides in our complete Fortnite Season 9 challenges roundup.

Ahead of Week 10’s challenges, Epic released Fortnite’s third 9.30 content update. Much like the previous week’s, this update was a minor one, introducing a single new item to Battle Royale mode: the Air Strike, a throwable canister that calls in a hail of missiles on opponents and structures. Season 10 still isn’t slated to start for a few more weeks according to Epic’s website, but the developer has already announced the game’s minimum PC requirements will be changing as of next season.

Division 2 Director Asks Fans if They’d Want a Single-Player Spin-Off

The Division 2’s creative director has asked for fans’ thoughts on a single-player spin-off of the Tom Clancy looter-shooter.

Creative director at Massive Entertainment, Julian Gerighty, retweeted an idea from Tim Spencer, who is level director at Lego studio TT Games. In his tweet, Spencer imagines a narrative-focused, single-player The Division, that would follow an agent attempting to get back to their family after being sent to New York City. He notes in the thread that “None of the stories have explored what a Division agent sacrifices, and what they go through mentally,” which would make good grounds for a single-player offering.

Note that if you click on one of these links to buy the product, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

Shopping for a gaming monitor used to be a simple affair. At one point every monitor was just a rectangular-shaped and ran at 60Hz, so it was just a question of how big of a monitor could you afford and whether you wanted a 1440p display to be extra fancy. Those days are long gone now though. Today there are almost too many options when looking for a gaming monitor. Now you’ve got displays that offer high refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, 4K resolution, and high-dynamic range (HDR) panels. It’s a lot to figure out, but I’m here to help.
