Grand Theft Auto Online's latest update, The Contract, is a great reminder of just how much time has passed since GTA V's 2013 release. Now, over eight years later, Franklin is an older and richer man running a Los Santos company dedicated to helping the rich and famous with their problems. And he needs your…

Face it: The past year has been…not great. Over the course of 2021, the global temperature rose at a once again alarming rate, Marvel released not one but two panned films, and we've all gotta come to terms with the sobering realization that this covid-19 pandemic might never fully end. A fitting timeline for a year…

Halo games have always encouraged the player to go where they're not supposed to go. Halo Infinite, which saw its campaign hit Xbox and PC last week, is no different. Free advice: If you haven't done so yet, scale the Tower. It's a fun climb, and you get a terrific view, but you'll also unlock the IWHBYD skull, an…

     Valhalla gets a tattoo from the best Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed's big move into RPG territory has proven pretty successful, but some series fans - myself included - have a soft spot for the tighter, more stealth-focused early entries. While future Assassin's Creed games are unlikely to get any smaller, at least we're getting some aesthetic throwbacks to the old days, including a new tribute to what is arguably the greatest entry in the series.

A fresh community challenge is live, awarding participating players with an Assassin's Creed Brotherhood tattoo in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The challenge requires players to recruit a total of 350,000 Jomsvikings and - as with most of these challenges - it's already most of the way to completion. You'll just need to recruit a single Jomsviking to mark your participation.

It's been a busy week in Valhalla, with free DLC featuring an Odyssey crossover, a sizable patch adding new stealth and difficulty settings, and as the reveal of the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion coming next year.

     Fortnite is giving out three free skins during Winterfest

Fortnite Winterfest is here, and with it comes a fortnight of giveaways. Starting today, you can get a daily present from Epic by dropping by the Winterfest Lodge. Two new Fortnite skins are included as part of those giveaways, and you'll be able to get a third free outfit by visiting the Epic Games Store.

Next time you load up Fortnite, you'll see a snowflake tab in the lobby, which will get you access to the Winterfest Lodge. There you can open up your daily present. Even if you miss a day, you'll still be able to go back and unwrap any missed presents up to January 6 at 6am PST / 9am EST / 2pm GMT.

The rewards include two outfits, two pickaxes, two raps, a glider, contrail, emote, lobby track, loading screen, emoticon, spray, and banner. Epic has already revealed the two outfits, as you can see in the image above - those skins are "Krisabelle, a festive take on the community-inspired Isabelle, and Polar Peely, one cool banana (literally)".

     New World's Winter Convergence Festival has begun, watch for yeti

The holiday season has begun in Amazon Games' MMORPG New World, bringing with it a layer of snow and bundles of presents. The Winter Convergence Festival begins today, December 16, and runs through January 11, which means there are seasonal quests, new resources to collect, and lost presents to deliver - all in exchange for rare loot that's now available in the Holiday Shop.

It's a time of "dichotomy and duality" in Aeternum, with two chilly entities making their presence known. The Winter Wanderer will grant special Winter Tokens for completing repeatable content around the island, which you can turn in at the Holiday Shop to get your hands on new armours, weapons, skins, furniture, and more. There are four Holiday Villages to visit as well, set up in Everfall, Monarch's Bluffs, Weaver's Fen, and Brightwood. You can meet the Winter Wanderer at these locations and accept special holiday quests.

Meanwhile, there's the Winter Warrior and his 'frigid folk' who are causing mayhem across the land by stealing presents. You can recover lost presents and return them to Holiday Huts that you'll find in the new villages, and earn more Winter Tokens in the process.

     Nvidia may release two GeForce RTX 3050 GPUs with different amounts of VRAM

It's getting hard to keep track of Nvidia's RTX 3000 lineup, regardless of whether we're talking about the company's best graphics cards or budget options. However, it seems like Nvidia is planning to add not one but two GPUs to its product stack. According to hardware leaker Kopite7Kimi, there will be two versions of the RTX 3050 with a few key differences.

A card with 8GB of VRAM and another with 4GB could be in the works (for some reason), harking back to the GTX 1060 6GB and 3GB. Given that this GPU will likely target the low-end of the market, it's surprising that Nvidia isn't simply releasing the 4GB version, as that's plenty of VRAM for 1080p gaming.

The other key differences between these RTX 3050 graphics cards relates to their GPU model and CUDA core count. The 8GB version will supposedly use a GA6-150 chip and pack 2,560 CUDA cores, while the 4GB uses a slightly cut down GA106-140 with 2,304 CUDA cores. Unfortunately, It's impossible to say what impact these differences will have on gaming performance until we can get our hands on the two RTX 3050s.

     All Fortnite Winterfest 2021 presents

Wondering if there's a way to figure out what every Fortnite Winterfest 2021 present contains before actually opening one? Like a naughty child on Christmas Eve, we can't help but wonder what festive gifts await us - but there's no need to shake each present and listen to it rattle around; we've put together a comprehensive list of every Fortnite present - and checked it at least twice.

Every day from now until January 6, 2022, at 6am PT/ 9am ET/ 2pm GMT, there's a new Fortnite daily challenge as part of the Winterfest 14 days of Christmas event. To complete the first of these winter-themed set of challenges, you must visit the Winterfest Cabin.

Unlike the usual Fortnite challenges, the Winterfest Cabin isn't part of the map; instead, it's on the main menu screen. You'll see a snowflake at the top of the main menu - simply click it to open up a screen showing the Winterfest Cabin in the background. Continue to the lodge where you can open a present every day, shake them to try and predict what's inside, and rest by the fire for some Supercharged XP. Read on to learn what's inside the Fortnite Winterfest 2021 presents, and how to get your hands on other holiday-themed goodies.

     Devotion devs are making a

The developer behind indie horror games Devotion and Detention has revealed what it's working on next. While you may find the sense of Asian myth familiar, it looks like the upcoming game leaves psychological horror behind for something more fantastical.

Nine Sols is the current name of the game, though that may change. Red Candle Games describes it as a "lore-rich, hand-drawn 2D action platformer with Sekiro-inspired deflection-focused combat" - quite a mouthful, then. Little has been given away about the story, though the team says we'll be following a vengeful hero's quest to slay nine Sols, who are the rulers of a "forsaken realm". The developer also describes this one as an Asian fantasy that's set in a land once home to an ancient race.

Devotion initially launched on Steam to favourable reviews before being dogpiled by Chinese players following the discovery of a Winnie the Pooh meme referring to president Xi Jinping. The horror game was briefly set to return through GOG, but those plans ended after the storefront received "many messages from gamers". These days, though, you can buy Devotion DRM free from the developer's site.

     The Witcher season 2 release time – here's when the Netflix series goes live

We tend to stick to actual videogames here at PCGamesN - we let our friends at The Digital Fix handle the broader entertainment coverage. But if you're a fan of PC gaming, there's a pretty good chance you're looking forward to The Witcher season two on Netflix, even though it's technically based on the book series. So let's break down when you can expect The Witcher season two release time.

The Witcher season two is expected to release on Friday, December 17 at 12:01am PST / 3:01am EST / 8:01am GMT. This launch time has not officially been confirmed, but Netflix pretty much always launches its new shows at midnight Pacific time on the release date. With The Witcher season two release date set for December 17, that makes the release time pretty clear.

The Witcher season two is made up of eight episodes, so you can expect the show to take up about eight hours of your weekend. The Witcher season three has already been confirmed, so you can look forward to whatever adventures Geralt and the gang get up to here to be continued in the future.

     Best Warzone Pacific guns: the top weapons for Season 1

Want to know what the best Warzone Pacific guns are? The Warzone integration with Vanguard introduces drastic changes to the game, including a new Warzone map set in the Pacific, and over 30 Vanguard weapons to play with. While Verdansk may not be around anymore, the guns from Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War remain in the battle royale game, but they're only accessible in specific modes.

The Cold War to Warzone integration had a number of teething problems when it launched back in December 2020. As a result, some of the weapon attachments featured incorrect stats which caused balancing issues. Each Cold War weapon needed tuning before they launched in Warzone - for several seasons, Cold War guns were either far too powerful or completely unusable.

Warzone Pacific is currently split into two types of mode which feature Vanguard weapons only, or every weapon ever released in Warzone. We've split the list of the best Warzone Pacific guns into two sections - this should make things easier for players interested in both modes.

     Best AIO cooler – the top liquid coolers for your CPU in 2021

The best AIO cooler is one that should make the perfect combination with some of the best gaming CPUs. Despite increases in performance-to-TDP ratios, processors can still get mighty hot these days - especially if you overclock them. If you've learnt how to overclock your CPU and want to put these skills to the test, you might have an easier time of it using one of the best liquid coolers over an air cooler. As more and more graphically intensive titles like Metro Exodus are released, overclocking might become more common. A good AIO cooler lets you overclock to crank out more performance with less risk of melting your CPU to a crisp.

The top cooling manufacturers have been put to the test on our test bench, with all-in-one (AIO) liquid CPU coolers from MSI, Cooler Master, NZXT, and Corsair. But why do you need to go all out on a CPU cooler? If you want to push your processor's clock speeds to meet its potential then you need to make sure overheating isn't a factor, and that's where liquid coolers come in.

You might think liquids shouldn't mix with electronics, yet an effective pump and radiator combo will move heat away from that CPU faster than you can say 'thermal throttling'. Of course, they often feature more RGB LEDs than you can shake a stick at, so you need not worry about colour-matching with the rest of your rig.

     French games workers union calls Ubisoft's NFTs

A French videogame workers union that represents Ubisoft employees has issued a statement calling blockchain and NFT technology "useless, costly, and ecologically mortifying," following the launch of Ubisoft's Quartz platform, which now supports non-fungible tokens called Digits in Ubisoft's open-world stealth game, Ghost Recon Breakpoint.

The statement from Solidaires Informatique Jeu Vidéo says the move has no real benefit for players, and is simply a financial securities market by another name. "Putting aside the technical part, this so-called innovative technology boils down to a certificate of ownership to which is associated an abstract monetary value whose amount fluctuates on an external market," the English translation of the statement reads. "You like dividends, subprimes, financial derivatives, crises, speculation, fast trading, money laundering, etc.? This is the assured and unspoken promise of NFT."

The statement further accuses Ubisoft's leadership of failing to understand the technology in the first place: "By multiplying the restrictions of use, the group claims it wants to limit the commercialisation of NFT (forgetting that the nature of NFT prevents such limitations other than marginally)."

     Civ 6 tier list – a guide to civ 6 leaders in multiplayer

If you're lucky enough to have friends who also like playing the game and who can commit to regular play sessions, then this turn-based strategy epic becomes truly transformative.

     Lamar roasts Franklin again in GTA Online's The Contract update

In many ways, GTA Online's The Contract update shows how things have changed since Grand Theft Auto 5's story has wrapped up. Franklin is married to Tanisha, they have kids, and Chop the dog is now old. Some things, though, stay the same - like Lamar roasting the hell out of Franklin.

Once you complete all of Dr Dre's missions in The Contract update, you and a pal can play a special mission called Fire it Up as Franklin and Lamar. The task involves destroying the weed storages of one of Lamar's rivals in an act of revenge while the two bicker and banter as they do it. The real highlight, though, comes at the end. Once you drop Franklin off at his house, Lamar will roast him for not letting him in.

If you've been out of the loop, fans have been modding a GTA 5 scene where Lamar roasts Franklin in various wonderful ways for a while now, though it really took off at the start of the year. The modified scenes typically involve various character swaps or duplicates, but the end result is always Franklin getting mugged off. Sometimes it's by a gang of Lamars, other times it's by Optimus Prime or Pingu. Heck, even Franklin and Lamar's voice actors got in on the fun.

     The best strategy games on PC in 2021

What are the best strategy games on PC? Some would say Command and Conquer, others Civilization VI, while more still would say "actually, Civ IV was the better ga-" but at that point we'd stop listening because nobody cares. Join us as we explore a curated collection of the genre's greatest hits, from newcomers to classics.

Fun fact: the strategy genre was first invented back in 1938, when Winston Churchill looked out an aeroplane window over France and thought, "Hey, this would make a really cool videogame, whatever that is." Probably. Since then, there have been about a hundred million different strategy games, simulating as many different kinds of fighting as we humans have had reasons to fight one another.

Turn-based or real-time, grand strategy or tactical... this genre is as diverse as they come. But which are the absolute top strategy games on PC? Well, just drag a selection box over our bodies and right-click on the horizon, and we'll find out. We have a strategy editor on our team now, so we can't be wrong.

     Hearts of Iron 4 supply guide – everything you need to know

So, you want to know about Hearts of Iron 4 supply? The grand strategy game's recent expansion, No Step Back, along with the free 1.11 patch brought about some significant changes to how supply and logistics work. Not all of these changes have been explained clearly either, leaving many players a bit confused.

We're here to help clear things up and provide you with a basic primer on the new supply mechanics and how they interact with the game's combat mechanics. It's worth noting that there was some very clear design intent behind these changes, as game director Peter Nicholson recently intimated - just because things are going wrong, doesn't mean the system isn't working as intended.

We've drawn from a few sources to help put together this guide. FeedBackGaming's rather ad hoc tutorial video explains things quite well, but it's worth revisiting the relevant developer diaries as well, although it's worth noting that many previously discussed features have changed across the supply system's development.

     Best CPU cooler in 2021 – our picks of the top air and liquid coolers

Keeping your CPU temperatures low is essential for good gaming performance from your PC, whether that's because you're planning to overclock, or to prevent performance throttling and ensure reliability. That's why we've assembled this guide to buying the best CPU cooler for your system. With the odd exception, the stock CPU cooler that comes with your AMD / Intel processor probably isn't going to cut it, and in any case it's always worth looking to upgrade if your system is struggling to stay cool when put to the test.

Water cooling solutions reign supreme when it comes to overclocking because liquid needs much more energy added to it than air to increase its temperature. Still, you can get some pretty respectable speeds with the best air coolers and you won't have to worry about any potential water leaks or the higher cost of an AIO cooling system.

If you want to learn more about the best AIO coolers, then head over to our dedicated guide as it can do wonders if you're pondering how to overclock your CPU. Otherwise, stick around to find out the best CPU coolers you can buy, whether you're being mindful of your budget, form factor, or style.

     Halo Infinite's next Tenrai event features more armour and less XP boosts

343 Industries has confirmed that Halo Infinite's next Tenrai event will feature items that were previously only available in the store in place of most challenge swaps and XP boosts. The team has held a community stream for the holidays, where head of design Jerry Hook reflected on the game's multiplayer launch and outlined some changes moving forward.

Hook admits that he "didn't do a good enough job" in reviewing the assets that went out with marketing for the Tenrai event, which led the team to show off the Yoroi armour to build up excitement. The problem, though, was that various parts of the gear were purchasable in the shop. Moving forward, the team wants it to be clear whether something it's showing off is free or from the store.

"The problem is that they showed a mixed samurai," Hook says. "Our goal is always that if you see something for earn in a season and it's earnable in an event track, you can't earn that gear in the shop or the battle pass - it's dedicated to your events."

The Epic Games Store Holiday Sale started today, with lots of discounts and that but more importantly: 15 days of free video games. They're starting with one that I'm certainly curious enough to play for free but not buy: Shenmue 3. Yeah gwan, I'll grab that. Epic are also going wild with coupons again, giving a £10 (or $10) coupon on every game you buy which costs at least £13.99 (or $14.99). Given Epic's habit of paying for timed exclusives, they do have discounts on some games you'll not get elsewhere, or at least not with those vouchers.

Let me slap you with the caveat up front. Halo Infinite's best place is its open world, through which you can swing like a honking metal Tarzan and do sweet Warthog jumps from cliffs. But its best level, the most satisfying A-to-B gun boulevard, comes late in the campaign (spoilers ahead). The House Of Reckoning is a series of rooms where contrived artificial battlefields have been constructed inside an alien fortress. They are abstractly human structures surrounded by sand, as if your extraterrestrial enemies have been playing house but believe a homo sapiens' house looked exactly like a chunk of Normandy beach circa 1944. The narrative reasoning behind this level is absurd. But the fights that occur within are excellent.

If your PC's drive space is fuller than Mr. Creosote, it might be time to call in some external backup. You can currently grab the WD Black P10 external hard drive in its vast 5TB configuration for a very reasonable £97 - it won't be able to hold any wafer thin mints, but 5TB makes room for an awful lot of game installs.

I'm beginning to think I need a dreamcatcher. The Lynx Africa on my bedroom shelf simply doesn't have the same level of nightmare suction. In fact, I bet it attracts bad sleeps. Anyway, I'm considering the installation of a feathery net because DokeV's music video from the latest Geoff Awards has infiltrated the darkest recesses of my brain again. I thought I'd shaken off the trailer song, but it's back with full force and haunts me more than ever.

Final Fantasy VII Remake certainly knows how to make a good first impression. The original's bombing mission sequence, which sees Cloud and co. blow up a planet-killing mako reactor in the industrialised hellhole of Midgar's city centre, was already one of the Final Fantasy series' best openers, but here we get to really luxuriate in every last detail of its twenty-four-year glow-up. Director Tetsuya Nomura may have a reputation for excess in JRPG circles (both in his tangled storylines and his passion for buckles and belts), but in FF7R that tendency toward indulgence has been applied with deadly, laser-like precision.

CD Projekt have announced plans to pay out $1,850,000 (£1.4 million) to settle a class action lawsuit brought by investors over Cyberpunk 2077's troubles. The suit started in December 2020 with investors primarily upset with the fact that the console version was in such a state, claiming that CDP hadn't been honest about the game and its prospects. CDP say that the proposed settlement terms make clear that though they are paying out, this "does not imply admission of any responsibility".

It's been nearly a year since Nvidia started reissuing older GPUs, like the GeForce RTX 2060 and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, to help deal with the great worldwide graphics card shortage. More recently, Nvidia went a step further, quietly launching a brand new version of the RTX 2060 that doubles its VRAM to 12GB.

Emphasis on the "quietly", mind – even if you've been regularly checking for available GPU stock or perusing our graphics cards deals guide, you probably won't have even noticed there's a 12GB RTX 2060 knocking around. So what's the deal with this mysterious card, and should you even consider buying an RTX 20 series card in this day and age?

The Gunk might not be the most sophisticated name in the universe for a gooey black jelly that pulses with an ominous red light, but goodness it sure is appropriate. As space haulers Rani and Becks touch down on a forgotten planet in search of a strange energy signal, the place is absolutely gummed up with the stuff. It oozes and throbs in the caves, plains and rivers of this once vibrant landscape, and the urge to suck it all up into Rani's chunky power glove (a literal hand vac in this case) is overwhelmingly strong. After all, when it turns the ground black and saps the world of all its colour, this is one case of Extremely Bad Vibes you'll want to remedy as soon as possible.

Your reward for scooping up all the gunk in any given area is the kind of graphical wizardry video games do best. A burst of light, a shruum of sound, and the world is instantly transformed back to its former glory. Despite its gloopy namesake, The Gunk is frequently stunning, its soft pastels and coral-esque flora showing such an eye for jaw-dropping visuals that it's hard to believe this is SteamWorld developer Image & Form's first ever 3D video game. If this is what they've been holding back on all these years, then their upcoming action adventure SteamWorld Headhunter should be a real treat for the old eyeballs. That said, while Image & Form have clearly navigated their 2D to 3D transition from an art perspective, their typical flair for adding their own spin to different genres has been less successful. There's a lot to like about this 3D action platformer, but it's missing that spark to really make it sing.

The action-platformer's plot sounds great too, it drops you into Radlandia on a search for the skate gods. Skate gods! Don't anger them, kiddos, they'll break your collarbones.

     Valorant Health Systems SeriesRiot Games is taking players through a Valorant Systems Health Series over the next few weeks. In it, the developer will discuss things like AFK detection, toxicity, smurfs, and striving for balanced matchmaking. The first topic of discussion is AFK players in Valorant over the last year and moving forward. At the beginning of 2021, Riot improved the systems used to detect AFK players. It also added more severe penalties for players who go AFK during a match. The result of these two updates is substantial. According to Riot, the number of players who go AFK in a Valorant match has more than halved since the improvements.   Every Valorant player now has an AFK rating. This ensures you don't get punished harshly if you rarely go AFK. It assumes you only do so when there is no other choice, and you are not intending to ruin the match for your teammates. The more you go AFK, the lower your AFK rating becomes, and the more severely you will be punished. These punishments do not appl...

     dell luna laptop concept replaceable partsDell announced Concept Luna as its take on a sustainable laptop earlier in the week. It's made in collaboration with Intel and is the manufacturer's vision for a repairable laptop. The laptop's made out of sustainable materials and designed to be easily repairable should anything go wrong with the device. It's also designed to be as simple as possible while giving the user direct access to all of its inner components. Dell is the first of the big computer manufacturers to announce a laptop with easily replaceable components. However, other companies have taken stabs at the concept before. For example, the Framework laptop is another device that allows easy access to the inner workings of the system. But, the intent there was to create a laptop that was entirely modular, not necessarily sustainable. While it was impressive to see a third-party manufacturer give that a go, it's also interesting to see where Dell is headed with this sort of concept.  ...

     Vanguard best Cooper Carbine ClassThe Call of Duty: Vanguard Season One update introduced some new weapons into the mix. One of these weapons is the Cooper Carbine. To get your hands on it, you must reach tier 15 of the battle pass where you can unlock it for free. Already, the gun has been making a statement in multiplayer and Warzone Pacific. With the best attachments, you can build a Cooper Carbine class to take over in your next Vanguard match. The Cooper Carbine may be the most versatile assault rifle in the game. It is a submachine gun hybrid, which makes it effective when shooting an enemy player at almost any range. As a result, you will find success with the gun on smaller maps such as Hotel Royal. In addition, you can confidently take out the lobby on larger maps such as Paradise. This class will focus on improving the Cooper Carbine's best assault rifle and submachine gun qualities to make a well-rounded loadout.   Call of Duty: Vanguard Cooper Carbine class Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer Barrel: 22" C...

Although the BAR has a slow fire rate, the bullets can deal some serious damage. Scouting for enemies at long range will not be a problem with this assault rifle.
