A new update for Fallout 76 coming this September will introduce public and custom worlds to the game, giving players the ability to create their own personal Appalachia.

Bethesda announced today that the Fallout Worlds update will hit Fallout 76 in September, bringing a wide list of customizable settings to the game. It will allow players to construct C.A.M.P.S in previously-restricted areas, remove the need for electricity when building, change PvP rules and difficulty settings, and more.

“Our modding community has been an enormous part of our games for over 20 years, and it’s always been our long-term goal with Fallout 76 to give you your own servers to customize for yourself and your friends,” Bethesda’s blog post reads. “After much iteration, we’re thrilled to reveal an exciting new system that’s just the beginning for creating all-new experiences designed by you — Fallout Worlds.”

When players boot up Fallout 76 after the Worlds update goes live in September, they’ll see the standard Fallout 76 Adventure and Private Adventure modes on the main menu as well as two new modes: Public Worlds and Custom Worlds. Public Worlds are a rotating series of Fallout Worlds experiences available to all players. They’re handcrafted by Bethesda Game Studios using input from the Fallout 76 community.

“Each Public World uses a different combination of Fallout Worlds’ settings to bring you a unique play experience,” Bethesda’s blog post reads. “Custom Worlds completely evolves the personalization of Fallout 76’s existing private servers, granting active Fallout 1st members full access to Fallout Worlds’ settings and features to build their own personalized Appalachias.”

Players can invite friends and teammates to their own Custom Worlds, even if those other players don’t have a Fallout 1st membership, Bethesda says.

Those looking to get a taste of what Fallout Worlds is bringing to Fallout 76 can head into the Public Test Servers to do so starting today. A date for the Fallout Worlds update has not been announced, but Bethesda notes that it’s coming in September.

Players who managed to successfully score an early copy of NEO: The World Ends With You over the weekend are in for an unhappy surprise if they happen to go online today. Following an accidental leak of the full retail version of NEO: The World Ends With You, Square Enix is revoking licenses for the game, effectively scrubbing the game from their account until release date.

Rumors of the removal began circulating this afternoon, with several players reporting that they had been kicked out of their game. One Reddit user said they were just “an hour or two away” from finishing the game when they were kicked out — an impressive feat given that the story reportedly takes some 50 hours to complete.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/neo-the-world-ends-with-you-preview”]

“Nintendo have remotely revoked all digital licenses for the game after Square Enix accidentally sold eShop codes early,” Switch dataminer OatmealDome wrote on Twitter. “Players were kicked out mid-game with the error code 2819-0003. This is, as far as I and others know, a first for the Switch.”

The NEO: The World Ends With You codes were originally leaked on July 17, with some players receiving digital activation codes by mistake after purchasing a physical copy on the Square Enix store. Fans quickly rushed to get an early code that would allow them to play the anticipated sequel 10 days early.

While many were successful, well-known Twitter user Wario64 — who was among the first to alert users of the leak — cautioned them to play with the Switch’s airplane mode turned on lest Square Enix try to revoke the code. It turns out this caution was warranted. With their licenses revoked, users will have to wait for their physical copies to arrive, or buy an entirely new version online. Any save data from the revoked version will no longer be usable.

IGN contacted both Square Enix and Nintendo for statements following the removal. We will update this story if we hear anything. In the meantime, there’s always the demo, right? The World Ends With You will be out on Switch and PS4 on July 27, with a PC release due later this summer.

There’s plenty of big news today in the deal world. If you’re looking for where to preorder the Nintendo Switch OLED, it’s back in stock today at Gamestop (for a very, very limited time)..

Get the Xbox Series S gaming console without having to buy any sort of bundle for $299.99 at Lenovo. There’s no discount here per se, but the Xbox Series S is still hard to find in stock at all, especially without any add-ons that bump up the price.

Apple AirPods Pro Noise-Cancelling Earbuds

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-july-8-2021″]

If you regret not picking the Airpods Pro up on Amazon Prime Day at 24% off, here’s your chance to get it today at the same price. The AirPods Pro is considered one of the best noise-cancelling in-ear headphones you can get, especially for under $200, and it’s significantly better than even the vanilla AirPods. Woot is owned by Amazon, and in this particular case you’ll have to log in with your Amazon Prime account in order to see the discount.

$95 Off Apple AirPods Max Headphones

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-apple-airpods-max”]
Not everyone can afford Apple’s best AirPods, but for those who can, they’ll be treated to a $95 discount from Amazon, making this the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Obviously the sound quality on these AirPods Max headphones are phenomenal, but what really takes the cake is the build quality. There are no other headphones in its price range that is built as well as the AirPods Max. They are literally a work of art.

Sign up for AT&T Gigabit Fiber Internet for $60/mo

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-att-internet”]

Sign up for the gigabit plan and you get $20 off your first year. That means you pay $60/mo instead of $80/mo. You’ll get access to blazing fast gigabit speeds (both downstream and upstream) with no data cap. As a bonus, you’ll also get a free 1 year subscription to HBO Max. That means you’ll be able to watch Space Jam: Legacy and the upcoming Suicide Squad 2 movies absolutely free. I personally am subscribed to AT&T Fiber and would never dream of going back to my slower and more expensive cable internet.

Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-logitech-g920″]

Factor in the $100 Dell gift card and you’re basically getting this racing wheel set for only $135 (it retails for $400). This is one of the best racing wheels you can get for the Xbox or PC, and easily the best racing wheel under $200 (if you factor in the Dell gift card). It pairs beautifully with Forza Horizon 4 and will probably work just as well with the upcoming Forza Horizon 5 game that’s coming out November 9.

Pandemic Board Game

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-pandemic”]

This is one of the best cooperative board games at the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Even if you’re just a casual fan of board games, you’re missing out if you haven’t given this one a try. This is a 2-4 player board game that runs approximately 45 minutes per gaming session.

ASUS ROG Delta GUNDAM EDITION Gaming Headset

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-asus-gundam-headphones”]

Hardcore GUNDAM fans rejoice, this very limited edition ASUS ROG Delta gaming headset decked out in GUNDAM color scheme and styling is back in stock. No, it’s not for people who have only a passing interest in GUNDAM because you can get the vanilla version of the same headset for cheaper, but for superfans, Newegg has it in stock and ready to ship immediately.

Xbox Elite Black Series 2 Wireless Controller

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-xbox-elite-controller”]

The Elite controller is compatible with the Xbox Series X|S. The price might be high but it’s worth it if the games you play require precise control. This professional-grade controller features adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wraparound textured grips, interchangeable thumbsticks and paddle shapes, custom profiles saved on your controller itself, and included USB Type C cable with charging dock. It boasts up to 40 hours of battery life.

ASUS RTX 30 Series Gaming PCs

ASUS RTX 30 series gaming PCs are rarely in stock let alone discounted. The ASUS ROG gaming PCs are currently the least expensive desktops you can get that are equipped with RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 video cards. That’s saying something since ASU ROG rigs are often complimented for their build quality and design aesthetics. ASUS also usually makes the best aftermarket video cards on the market.

Arc System Works has just revealed the first DLC character for the season pass of Guilty Gear Strive, and it’s another strange one that will undoubtedly confuse folks who haven’t played this game before. In the latest reveal trailer, we get to see the fighting debut of Goldlewis Dickinson, who is the Secretary of Absolute Defense for Guilty Gear’s take on the United States of America. He marks the first post-launch fighter to be added to the game’s roster for season pass holders, and he’ll make his debut on July 27.

For the uninitiated, Goldlewis Dickison is a new character that made appearances in the story campaign of Guilty Gear Strive, though some fans believe he made an early appearance in the background of the Neo New York stage in Guilty Gear Xrd. Regardless, he will now be a playable fighter in Strive, and his weird moveset and bizarre backstory certainly makes him in good company alongside the likes of Faust and Ramlethal. What makes Goldlewis so unusual is that not only does he have access to a mini-gun and a cybernetic eye that can summon orbital lasers, but he also carries around a large coffin, which is holding a mysterious alien coming from Area 51.

We get to see Goldlewis and his mysterious partner in action during the trailer, and he certainly looks to be an oddball character–which are usually the most fun to play as in Guilty Gear games. Seeing his heavy swings of the coffin makes Goldlewis appear to be another heavy fighter like Potemkin, but he’s also got some weird tricks that he can pull out on short notice. Along with his firearms, Goldlewis also has a partner stashed inside a container. This blue, spectral alien can assist Goldlewis with launcher attacks and other cross-ups, but it can also summon strange extraterrestrial objects into the fight, such as a spiked drone that will move close to the opponent for additional damage.

Season pass holders will be able to play as Goldlewis early on July 27. If you don’t have the season pass, then you can purchase him individually on July 30, three days after his debut. So far, Goldlewis Dickinson is the only announced character for the Season 1 pass, which includes access to a total of five characters, two new stages, additional color palettes, and a bonus story mode. However, according to the video, the next fighter will be released sometime in August, with other additions coming later into 2021 and into early 2022.

Guilty Gear Strive has only been out for a month, and it’s quickly become a popular entry in the series, selling over 500,000 copies worldwide. In our full review, we gave the game an 8/10 and stated: “Like all Guilty Gears, [Strive] is a game of extremes. If you’ve tried the series and fallen off because of its complexities, I wouldn’t expect a different outcome. If you’re up for a challenge, or just want a cool, sharp-looking fighting game to mess around with, Strive knows all the right moves.”

Netflix’s subscriber base is growing, but not in North America — in fact, its subscriber base in North America dropped by almost half a million in the second quarter of 2021, which the streaming giant blames on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

This news comes by way of The Hollywood Reporter, which reports that Netflix topped its expectations for the second quarter after raising its subscriber count by 1.5 million. This brings its total subscriber base to 209 million. 

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”slug=netflix-spotlight-july-2021&captions=true”]

However, despite that growth, which was largely shouldered by a net of more than one million new subscribers in the Asian-Pacific region, the company saw its North American subscriber base drop by 400,000. In terms of revenue, the company delivered $7.3 billion in the second quarter, up from the $7.16 billion in the first quarter. 

In the most respects, the news is positive for Netflix. Lower marketing and content spending resulted in margins that have never been higher, with average revenue per user in the U.S. and Canada sitting at $14.54 in the second quarter —higher than any other streaming service on the market, according to Netflix. That average revenue per user number sits below $10 in the Latin America and Asia-Pacific markets, though. 

As for why North America’s subscriber base has dropped, and why the company has struggled in 2021 versus previous years in its history, Netflix says COVID-19 is to blame. 

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/07/10/the-witcher-season-2-full-teaser-trailer-breakdown”]

“It really boils down to COVID, frankly,” Netflix CFO Spencer Neumann said on a company earnings call. “For us, at a minimum, it creates some short-term choppiness in the business trends.” 

Netflix is expecting “3.5 million net subscriber adds in the 3rd quarter of 2021.” This represents a shift in subscriber count expectations from the company that has aimed higher in year’s past. This modest expectation of 3.5 million likely stems from the company’s first quarter, which saw it add just 4 million subscribers despite forecasting 6 million. Netflix reportedly added 15.8 million subscribers in the same quarter in 2020. 

“We had those 10 years that were smooth as silk, and we are just a little bit wobbly right now,” Netflix Co-CEO Reed Hastings said on the call.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/12/28/black-mirror-bandersnatch-is-part-video-game-part-movie”]

Despite that wobbliness, Netflix is “betting that a return to more normalized film and TV production and an increased cadence of originals later this year will help it return to growth,” according to THR. 

Perhaps Netflix’s venture into video games will help fuel new growth for the company, which just hired ex-EA and Facebook executive Mike Verdu to lead its game development. Netflix revealed today that it will focus on mobile games first in this new venture, saying that it won’t charge an additional fee for games in doing so.

Van Gogh, which is used by Valve’s Steam Deck, has 4 UMCs.
I expected 4x 16-Bit (a memory channel under LPDDR5 is actually 16-Bit wide).
The official spec claimed 5.5 Gbps (dual-channel), which didn’t made sense to me.
