PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 9:58 AM  Chances are that you have already seen mention of Fortnite augments in the quest list. This major new mechanic has arrived alongside Fortnite Chapter 4, in which the island is now a mishmash of different chunks of islands from other dimensions. It aims to give you the edge by letting you choose from multiple perks that last throughout the match. One of the most popular battle royale games available, you learn a bit about Fortnite augments via the preliminary challenges you must complete before more Chapter 4 quests unlock. However, it doesn't go all that far into saying how they work or what you need to do to get the hidden augments to add to your collection.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 9:54 AM  What are the best Roblox games? Games aren't just better than ever for kids, the means of creating them are, too.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 7:37 AM  What can be said about Elden Ring at this point? The magnum opus of an open-world game is a culmination of FromSoftware's decade-plus of work, from Demon's Souls and Dark Souls to Sekiro, as the developer released one of the most popular and well-received games of 2022. All of this work appears to have paid off, as Elden Ring may now have the highest number of awards for any game, ever.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 6:20 AM  What are the best life games on PC? Well, it depends on what you're looking for and what kind of fantasy you envision. Daily life might be demanding and exhausting at times, but life games offer a chance to unwind and have greater control over someone else's existence. It's more than just farming and dating – though there's plenty of that as well. Some of the best life sims probe what it means to be alive, while others simply let you bake, date, or live as a witch. So, like life itself, life games come in all forms, and while your mind might leap to games like Stardew Valley and other stalwarts when the genre comes up, there are a host of inventive takes on the formula. Be they adjacent to management games, farming games, or dating sims, here is our list of the best life games for peaceful - or crazy - escapism in 2023.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 6:16 AM  Looking for Roblox music codes? There are thousands of popular songs available to listen to in Roblox, simply by entering music ID codes into your boombox or the radio. Using song IDs, you can play your favourite TikTok songs in games with your friends. So how do you play music in Roblox? The method varies depending on which game you want to blast your tunes in. Some games allow you free access to the boombox - simply equip and press it to bring up a text box in which you can enter a song ID code. Catalog Heaven is a great place to test the Roblox music codes you find, as it allows you to equip any boombox in the shop and try it out. In most games, however, you'll need to use the radio to play music. This is usually part of a paid Game Pass - the price of a Game Pass is set by each game developer individually. Once you have access to the radio, you can use it in the same way as the boombox - simply enter the song ID code and press play. Occasionally, tracks are taken down by Roblox, so if a code stops working, you'll have to look for a replacement. Here are the best radio music codes in Roblox that work in January 2023: Continue reading Roblox music codes January 2023 – the best song IDs MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best Roblox games, Roblox promo codes, Roblox music codes |

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 6:14 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 Tuesday, January 3, 2023 6:14 AM  Warzone 2 Season 1 Reloaded is a mid-season update for both the multiplayer and battle royale portions of the game, not only adding a host of new content but executing bug fixes and various balance tweaks. It's the first time we've seen an update like this for Modern Warfare 2, and Activision appears to be pulling out all the stops. If you're into battle royale games, Warzone 2 was most definitely one of the best PC games released this year, and with Season 1 Reloaded, it's about to get even better. The update is going to bring with it the much-hyped Raid, a host of Christmas cosmetics, mini-battle royale mode, and ever a Rocket League-type LTM to celebrate the World Cup.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 6:09 AM  The best Warzone 2 shotgun might not immediately spring to mind when you think about the sprawling Al Mazrah and its high, long-distance vantage points. Still, you may be surprised about just how well it might serve you. After all, the map is dense with buildings, and you're likely to run into an opponent tucked into the corner of a room eventually. You will also certainly get more up close and personal once the storm circles close in. The best shotgun in Warzone 2 is the Expedite 12. Provided your opponent isn't wearing three plates, the Expedite 12 can one-shot anyone within five metres in the battle royale game. However, we'd certainly recommend running Overkill - more on that in our guide to the Warzone 2 perk packages - so you can accompany your shotgun with one of the best Warzone 2 guns with a bit more range.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 5:54 AM  What are the best fighting games on PC? It may be one of the oldest genres in gaming, but it wasn't until unintentional glitches gave birth to combos in Street Fighter 2 that the first boom took hold in arcades during the 90s. It's here that the key players would make their presence known. Capcom and SNK would stick with hand-drawn sprites in future Street Fighter games and The King of Fighters series, respectively. Meanwhile, Midway would make parents everywhere panic with Mortal Kombat's fatalities, as both Sega and Namco (now Bandai Namco) instead wowed everyone by taking the leap to 3D with Virtua Fighter and Tekken. Many others would also try to make their mark over the years, but thanks to the rise of esports and, to a lesser extent, the global pandemic, we now have access to PC versions of the best fighting games, as they've mostly been console exclusive. They have a reputation for being tough to learn, but with the rise of video tutorials and guides on all the basics, there's never been a better time to get into these highly competitive multiplayer games.

Hoyoverse'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 Hoyoverse occasionally send out free gifts in the form of Genshin Impact codes that can be redeemed online and in the free PC game. These Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearing in Hoyoverse'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.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 6:01 AM  Looking for some of the best truck games on PC? Trucks and truckers have become mythologised in pop culture like modern-day cowboys, transporting crucial cargo across harsh, lonely landscapes and spending days in their own company. Translating that experience into a videogame has taken many forms over the last couple of decades, from Mad Max-like highway battlers to fully-fledged simulation games where journeys take as long as they would in real life. While there are not many truck games - you could mistake it for being a niche genre - there are a lot of truck game fans looking for the right trucking game for them. In an effort to help those people out, we've assembled a handful of great truck games, including the popular truck sims, but also branching out to physics-based puzzlers, platform games, and racing games with trucks. So whether you're looking to lose yourself on a long trip along the Pacific Northwest, want to spend hours hauling your cargo through a single muddy ditch, or want to take your truck to a chicane-riddled racecourse, we've got a little something for every type of truck gamer.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 5:41 AM  Looking for a list of the best hacking games on PC? Game developers have long valued the 'hacker ethic' — the will and skill to grab a game by the scruff of its code, rip it apart, and put the pieces together in a new way. Id Software prioritized the nascent modding community when they were creating Doom, Valve courted it from Half-Life onward and the entirety of the MOBA genre stems from folks futzing with Warcraft III. Of course, most players are just that: players. We see numbers and letters in a line of code; not meaning. But, there's a lineage of games that have sought to deliver the fantasy of being in complete command of a computer's functions; of using that control to wreak destruction - or to avert it. Whether part of the sci-fi world of a multitude of space games, encouraging team work in one of the best co-op games, or of course putting you in the hacker's seat of an RPG game, we've got something for everyone in our list of the best hacking games in 2023.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 3, 2023 6:17 AM  Deciding on the very best indie games on PC is a task that involves some painful exclusion. The great indie boom triggered by digital distribution a decade ago turned out to be more of a Big Bang, firing small-team development into a plethora of directions that now defy simple categorisation. The sheer volume is intimidating, so we have plenty to choose from when compiling our list of the best indie games. Perhaps too much. But we should take stock, from time to time, to appreciate everything publisher-less development has given us. Some of the games listed below were built in a weekend by first-time coders, while others were crafted by former triple-A creators who've instilled their independent work with the same technical standards. They barely have anything in common but a healthy dose of idiosyncrasy and ideas that make Steam worth spelunking.

When the Nintendo 3DS eShop shuts down, Game Freak's solitaire and horse racing mash-up Pocket Card Jockey won't be lost for good. A new version of the game with a "Ride On!" subtitle will appear on Apple Arcade. It will debut on the subscription service on January 20, 2023. [Thanks, Pocket Tactics!] In the game, players are a jockey trying to hit new racing heights. When a race begins, you'll play several hands of solitaire. How well you do in each one can energize and help your horse run faster. You also need to chart the horse's course on the track, so they pick up bonuses, avoid other horses, and get in a good position. In the final stretch, the perspective changes so you can more directly see other horses and ideally use one last burst of energy to pull ahead and win. There are also some simulation elements in Pocket Card Jockey. As you race, your horse might learn new skills. You'll also be able to breed horses to get stronger ones. You might then get horses that excel in certain situations or that look different. In the 3DS version, you could share QR codes from your retired horses, so other players could pair them up with their own. The original Pocket Card Jockey showed up on the 3DS in 2016. There is a demo available for people who want to try it out. Pocket Card Jockey is immediately available for the 3DS, and Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! will come to Apple Arcade on January 20, 2023. The post Game Freak's Pocket Card Jockey Will Bring Horse Racing Solitaire to Apple Arcade appeared first on Siliconera. |
