November’s round of PlayStation Plus freebies is now available to anyone who has a subscription to the online service. This month adds a unique take on the first-person shooter, a detailed RPG set in modern-day Japan, and plenty of game-show and arcade action. They will be available through December 4 on the PlayStation Store.

As previously announced, the PlayStation 4 offerings this month include Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition and Yakuza Kiwami. Bulletstorm is a remastered version of the over-the-top first-person shooter, with a unique grapple mechanic that lets you yo-yo enemies to control the battlefield. Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the very first Yakuza game from 2006, following Kazuma Kiryu as he tries to find a load of cash stolen from his gang.

PS3 owners get Jackbox Party Pack 2, the party mini-game collection that links up with your smartphones to serve as controllers. The retro-styled Arkedo Series is also available on PS3 as well. Finally, the Vita gets throwback B-movie game Roundabout and the adventure game Burly Men at Sea. Both of those Vita offerings are also available on PS4 for good measure.

As always, these games will be linked with your PlayStation Plus subscription, and will be available as long as you have it. If you unsubscribe, you’ll also lose access to the games. If you’re in the market for more cheap games, meanwhile, keep an eye on our Black Friday round-ups.

Fortnite‘s 6.22 update has arrived, bringing a new weapon as well as two limited-time modes to the hit game. While the Fortnitemares event may now be over in Battle Royale, the Halloween spirit carries on in one of this week’s LTMs, a brand-new mode dubbed Team Terror.

Much like other team-based LTMs, Team Terror pits two teams of players (in this case, 32 vs. 32) against each other in a battle to be the last side standing. What sets it apart from previous modes, however, is the presence of Cube Monsters, the zombie-like creatures that first appeared during the aforementioned Fortnitemares event. These will spawn around the island as the match rolls on, adding a PvE element to the LTM.

Destroying Cube Monsters will cause them to drop weapons or ammo, giving you an incentive to take down any you come across. Resource and loot drop rates have also been adjusted for the new LTM. The likelihood of floor loot spawning has been increased by 15%, and farming resources have been increased by 75%. You can find more details on Team Terror in Epic’s patch notes.

In addition to Team Terror, Epic has brought back a previous LTM this week: Blitz. This is a much faster-paced version of a standard battle royale game; the match begins with the storm already closing in on the island, and the time between storm circles is much shorter than normal, so each match will last about 15 minutes at most. Loot is also much more plentiful in Blitz mode, further speeding the action up.

Beyond the new LTMs, the 6.22 update introduced a new gun to the game: the Heavy Assault Rifle. It’s available in Rare, Epic, and Legendary variants and can be found as floor loot or in chests, vending machines, and supply drops. Epic has also reverted the Pumpkin Launcher back to the standard Rocket Launcher and reduced the spawn rate of the new balloons.

Believe it or not, Black Friday 2018 is right around the corner. The end of the year is approaching, and the holiday season brings with it the biggest shopping day on the calendar in the United States, family time be damned.

Even with a couple weeks to go before Black Friday–it takes place on November 23–we’ve already begun to get a look at the deals that will be available.

If you missed out on the pre-order bonuses for WWE 2K19, you can pick them up as downloadable content. Two packs, one featuring Ronda Rousey and Rey Mysterio and the other featuring Ric Flair, are available for purchase separately.

The Ronda Rousey & Rey Mysterio Pack and the Wooooo! Edition Pack (featuring Ric Flair) are available across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Previously Rousey and Mysterio were only available for pre-orders and Ric Flair was available in the Collector’s Edition for $130. 2K also recently teased an upcoming Titans Pack but hasn’t detailed a release date for it yet.

GameSpot’s WWE 2K19 review appreciated the engaging MyCareer mode and stories, and the various quality-of-life tweaks, but lamented its slow character progression and some notable absentees from the roster. In particular, critic Richard Wakeling said that players are out-of-luck for Rey Mysterio or Rousey, who is the current Raw Women’s Champion, unless they pre-ordered.

“Despite its flaws, WWE 2K19 is a step in the right direction for the long-running series,” Wakeling wrote. “After two years toiling away with a dearth of interesting single-player content, the introduction of an engaging career mode is a welcome sight that finally captures some of the personality pro wrestling is partly built upon. The in-ring action is still inconsistent and will be as divisive as ever, but it’s easier to stomach when the game surrounding the wrestling action gives you more reasons to play.”

Epic has announced that the next update for Fortnite will go live on Tuesday, November 6. The game will experience downtime while Update 6.22 is rolled out, which is scheduled to start at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET / 9 AM GMT. [Update] Update 6.22 is now available and you can see what’s new in the full patch notes.

As with previous Fortnite updates, Epic will release the full patch notes for Update 6.22 on the day of its release. If the developer follows the same pattern as the last several patches, the notes will release just prior to Fortnite’s scheduled downtime. We’ll update this post once the patch notes are released.

Although it has not been confirmed, it’s probably safe to assume that Fortnite’s newest weapon, the Heavy Assault Rifle, is a part of this new update. The Heavy AR appears to be based on real-life AK firearms and deals serious damage when fired in short, concentrated bursts. Epic hasn’t announced when the new weapon will be added to Fortnite, but it’s recent tease suggests it will be a part of Update 6.22.

Fortnitemares, as well as the challenges and rewards associated to the event, has officially ended as of last week. The limited-time event ended with another strange in-game phenomenon where the massive purple cube transported players to another realm. Even if the season of scares is over, Season 6 challenges still offer several spooky rewards if you’re clinging to the Halloween spirit. You can have your in-game character grow more wolf-like with each level up if you unlock Season 6’s Legendary Dire Wolf skin, for example.

Fortnite is available for Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The game supports cross-play across all platforms.

Epic Games has release Fortnite update 6.22 and detailed the contents of the latest update. The major new addition is an assault rifle called the “Heavy AR,” but there’s also two new Limited-Time Modes. The first, called Team Terror, features “two teams [battling] it out while Cube Monsters.” Its another take on the players versus players and environment gameplay introduced as part of the Halloween Fortnitemares, but with more players involved.

The second Limited-Time Mode is called “Blitz” and is described as “a faster-paced version of Battle Royale. The match begins with the storm moving towards the island, and the delay between each circle is shorter than normal, creating matches that are 15 minutes long or less. The map also has extra loot and resources. Profile Stats count in this mode, so fight hard for the Victory Royale.”

You can check out the patch notes for the Fortnite: Battle Royale below. Head to the Fortnite website to see what’s new with the Save the World mode.
