PCGamesN Saturday, September 3, 2022 7:17 AM  The Apex Legends player count for August has pushed to new heights on Steam following the launch of Apex Legends season 14: Hunted. The latest season, which launched on August 9, helped to cement Apex's reputation as one of the best battle royale games around right now with the launch of new Legend Vantage and her adorable bat companion, Echo. The launch of season 14 helped push Apex Legends to a record concurrent player count on Valve's platform of over half a million simultaneous active users, and it appears that trend has only continued. As tracked by SteamDB, Apex Legends saw a minimum daily peak of 329,041 concurrent Steam users in August - topping the previous equivalent from July of 311,275. The average daily peak for August also leapt up to 414,130, trumping the previous highest of 339,363 in May following the launch of Apex Legends season 13: Saviors. Prior to the start of the month, some players on the game's subreddit had been trying to promote 'No Apex August' in protest of an increasing number of bugs, connection issues, and gripes with the Apex Legends matchmaking system. However, as many users in a thread about the successful August player numbers point out, the subreddit community is a tiny fraction of the game's actual playerbase - and the movement didn't even pick up full traction among the subreddit's active users.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, September 3, 2022 5:32 AM  A few weeks ago we posted about a stellar deal on Lenovo's BoostStation, an external GPU enclosure that lets you turn almost any Thunderbolt 3 laptop into a gaming powerhouse with the simple addition of a graphics card. Rather than the £200 or £300 prices we normally see attached to these enclosures, this one was available at just £93. Now that deal is back, once again via the Laptop Outlet store on Ebay. This time though, you'll need to use code FANCY15 to knock 15% off the price of the BoostStation, bringing it down to that alluring £93 price point once again. |

This is a huge amount of storage, ideal for archiving games and storing media like music and video, and well worth considering especially if your boot SSD is getting full. By comparison, the cheapest 8TB SSD is £669, making this more than four times cheaper. |

Toho Animation premiered the latest trailer for My Hero Academia Season 6, which opens in October 2022. The trailer also previewed the season's opening theme, while teasing upcoming events in Studio Bones' ongoing adaptation. It's the third promo video for the season. Check it out below. Note: The trailer and article contain spoilers for My Hero Academia Season 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxCJMYbGtzA The new trailer shows some more of the large-scale battles teased in the last trailer. Season 6 adapts the My Hero Academia "Paranormal Liberation War" arc, where the Paranormal Liberation Front headed by Tomura Shigaraki goes up against the Heroes. Tomura is seen in a medical capsule of some kind, likely receiving a power upgrade that he requested from the villainous Doctor Daruma. The war begins when the assembled forces of the Heroes conduct raids on the Paranormal Liberation Front's strongholds. The students of Class 1-A and 1-B are brought in as backup for the pros, but as can be expected, are quickly drawn into their own engagements. The trailer for Season 6 spotlights My Hero Academia characters like Endeavor, Gigantomachia, Bakugo, Deku, Midnight, Yaoyorozu, Mr. Compress, Mirko, Hawks, Dabi, Himiko, Twice, and more are all present. During the montage, text flashes over the screen: "The beliefs of Heroes and Villains, to Protect and to Destroy...enter All-Out War". Season 6 will also see a new opening theme song. The song is "Hitamuki" by the band Super Beaver. The ending theme is "Sketch" by Kiro Akiyama. My Hero Academia Season 6 premieres on October 1, 2022. The continuation of the Spy x Family anime adaptation also opens on the same day. Crunchyroll will simulcast the series in various territories, including North America.
