PCGamesN Friday, November 25, 2022 7:36 AM  Want to know more about the upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events. There are usually a number of Genshin Impact events running simultaneously, and they aren't just in-game events. When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. The rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies. Just like the Genshin Impact banners, most events are only available for a limited time, so it's worth participating as soon as you can. New events are usually added to Genshin Impact after an update, but it's worth keeping an eye out on this page as the devs do like to surprise the community.

PCGamesN Friday, November 25, 2022 7:33 AM  Looking for Genshin Impact codes? MiHoYo's charming open-world game is notoriously easy to lose yourself in, and if you're like us, you're constantly looking out for more Genshin Impact primogems and other handy consumables. Gathering currency in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind - while you can earn mora and primogems by completing quests such as daily commissions, an injection of extra funds will always be gratefully received. Fortunately, the developers MiHoYo occasionally send out free gifts in the form of Genshin Impact codes that can be redeemed online. These Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearing in MiHoYo's special programs that reveal information about future updates coming to the anime game soon, but also to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events. Most codes also only work for a limited time - so it's a good idea to redeem them as soon as possible in case you miss out. Codes can only be redeemed once per account. Here are all the current Genshin Impact codes for November 2022, and how to redeem them. RELATED LINKS: Genshin Impact codes, Genshin Impact character tier list, Genshin Impact leveling guide |

PCGamesN Friday, November 25, 2022 7:21 AM  The Valorant Blitz overlay is one of several tracker add-ons for the Riot Games FPS game that offers players the chance to get ahead of the competition by offering up in-game statistics and analytics tools. However, its recently introduced combat tracker has many players concerned that its real-time damage tracking is giving those who use the Blitz tracker an "unfair advantage" in the multiplayer game.

PCGamesN Friday, November 25, 2022 6:18 AM  Just how long is High on Life? The narrative game from Justin Roiland's Squanch Games takes you on the journey of a bounty hunter as you finally find your calling in life. Accompanied by some sentient weapons that might remind you of your favourite Rick and Morty or Solar Opposites characters, you probably won't want the story to end, but it's still useful to know how long you'll be roaming the cosmos. As with most story games, High on Life won't require too much of your time to complete, but will offer some side quests and additional adventures if you want to prolong your stay in space. We're fully expecting this colourful, planetary adventure to be quite addictive, especially since it has been likened to "Metroid Prime, but funny". So, how long can we plan on being high on life? |

PCGamesN Friday, November 25, 2022 7:07 AM  Choosing the best graphics card can enhance your gaming PC tenfold, enabling you to enjoy lofty resolutions and frame rates. While GeForce RTX 4000 and Radeon RX 7000 GPUs will soon fight for the crown, Intel could win over gamers on a budget with its Arc Alchemist range. With that in mind, what makes the best GPU? If you're rocking a high-spec rig, you'll likely want a powerhouse card that can run the latest games at 4K and still boost fps. Of course, premium parts come at a price, as flagship RTX 4000 offerings like the Nvidia RTX 4090 cost more than an entire system. Thankfully, you don't need a GPU kaiju to build the best gaming PC for your needs, and there is a range of different Nvidia, AMD, and Intel options out there to choose from. So to help unmuddy the sea of specs, we've compiled a list of the best graphics card choices on the market right now. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |

PCGamesN Friday, November 25, 2022 6:40 AM  The best VR headset could take your gaming PC setup to the next level, especially if you're looking to play games like Half-Life: Alyx, Beat Saber, and Resident Evil 4. Sure, today's virtual reality tech is more Lawnmower Man than Ready Player One, but concepts like the metaverse and augmented reality (AR) are all seemingly a part of what's to come. Choosing the best VR headset seems simple on the surface, but there are industry changes in motion that could complicate venturing into virtual reality. For starters, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has ditched its iconic Oculus branding in favour of a new Meta Quest label. While this means the Oculus Quest 3 will likely arrive with a different moniker, metaverse devices like the Meta Quest Pro are now a priority for the social media giant. Of course, Meta isn't the only player within the VR space, as HTC, Valve, and Quest rivals like the Pico 4 are also in the running. Each headset contributes to immersive gaming in its own way, so it's important to consider the specs, price, and drawbacks of each device.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 25, 2022 7:48 AM  Fantasy strategy game Total War: Warhammer 3 has got its final patch of 2022, update 2.3.0, which brings the single-player customisable endgame scenarios to its multiplayer mode. This change allows whoever is setting up one of the game's Immortal Empires campaigns in multiplayer to fiddle with the endgame how they please. Devs Creative Assembly have even gone and done one of those video thingies for the update, which you can watch below. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 25, 2022 7:21 AM  Another Black Friday means another opportunity for the Logitech G502 Hero - RPS readers' most favouritest gaming mouse - to get nice and cheap. This button-rich desk rodent is a particularly common sight during big PC hardware sales like Black Friday, but it's hard to tire of seeing when it's one of the best gaming mice ever made, and I actually prefer it to the recent G502 X refresh - especially when it's 56% off. That's precisely 56% off in both the UK and US, too. Alright, technically it's the Logitech G502 Hero SE (Special Edition) that has the best available price in the UK; the standard model is £5 more for some reason. But the only difference between this and the all-black G502 Hero is the addition of some white highlights, so otherwise they share the same comfortable shape, highly customisable 11-button layout, and sharp 25,600dpi sensor. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 25, 2022 7:01 AM  The magic of Yakuza games (now known as Like A Dragon, technically but hey) lies in the dramatic ascents up the Millenium Tower to prevent surprisingly muscular 60-year-old men from detonating Kamurocho. The rain falls. The lads rip their suits off. Then they settle things with their fists, because to do anything otherwise would be silly. But the real magic of Yakuza lies in its minigames, one of the best being karaoke. And thanks to Game Informer's interview with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, we now know why their games are obsessed with the beloved singsong. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 25, 2022 6:42 AM  Imagine not being fazed that a powerful demon cursed you, while maintaining your style and composure to investigate how to free yourself before your time's up. I'm not sure I could manage not to totally lose it under those circumstances, but survival horror Sorry We're Closed from devs à la mode and publishers Akupara Games plonks you into the vaguely 32-bit shoes of cool cucumber Michelle to do exactly that. The game takes the familiar fixed camera angles from classics such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alone In The Dark, but combat's being handled in first-person. Have a look for yourself below, and watch out for your third eye. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 25, 2022 6:31 AM .jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/MSI-Katana-GF66-key-art-(2).jpg) It's still the frigid morning of Black Friday 2022, but there might already be a superlative gaming laptop deal up for grabs. Here in the UK, Ebuyer has an RTX 3070-equipped version of the MSI Katana GF66 laptop down to just £950 – a saving of £449. Not only is that a big, meaty chunk of cash to carve off, it's also an outstandingly low price for a gaming laptop with the RTX 3070 specifically. I've seen this high-end GPU in a few other laptops that are up for Black Friday sales, but they're tending more towards the £1100 mark. In terms of getting the most graphical power for the least money, then, the Katana GF66 is unlikely be beaten today. Even by the RTX 3080 laptop for £1200 deal that's still going. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, November 25, 2022 5:37 AM  Activision Blizzard executive vice-president for corporate affairs Lulu Cheng Meservey has tweeted that the company "won't hesitate to fight to defend" Microsoft's $68.7 billion (£57 billion) buyout of the publisher. The comment came after reports began circulating that the US Federal Trade Commission could bring a lawsuit against Microsoft over the deal. Anonymous sources claiming to be close to the matter also suggested that a lawsuit from the FTC might begin as early as December. |
