PCGamesN Friday, May 5, 2023 7:51 AM  One of the rarest Fortnite cards has just broken the record price at auction for collectible trading cards based on the hugely popular battle royale game.

PCGamesN Friday, May 5, 2023 7:46 AM  Looking for a League of Legends tier list? Metas change, the LoL tier list will fluctuate, and it could be that your favourite champion might not be in a great place right now. While you can absolutely win games and climb the ranked ladder with nearly anyone in the lower ranks, the changes that come via champion and item balancing can tip the scales enough that some picks are almost mandatory, regardless of which rank you play in. We've put together a few picks for each lane that have become especially overpowered recently in League of Legends. Whether it's due to a buff, kit change, or item change, these are safe picks if you're looking to climb the solo queue ranks in the free PC game. If you do want to play something other than what's on this list, keep these champions in mind for your ban, as they all have the potential to go on and dominate Summoner's Rift in one of the best MOBAs you can play right now.

PCGamesN Friday, May 5, 2023 7:22 AM  Want to know if you can win the Hogwarts Legacy House Cup or if it's even in the game? If you're familiar with the Harry Potter universe, you'll already know that teachers blurt out "ten points to Gryffindor" at every opportunity. These proclamations serve a purpose in the books and films: every point gets a student's house ever closer to sealing victory and earning the House Cup. Students at Hogwarts earn points for many reasons, whether by learning Hogwarts Legacy spells quickly in classes or by feats of bravery or cunning. Winning the House Cup is a badge of honour for all students in the school, so no matter which house the Hogwarts Legacy sorting hat dumps you in, there would theoretically be a chance for you to get a share of the glory as part of the best Hogwarts Legacy house. If you help win it in your first year by completing tasks in the open-world game, then all the better. Continue reading What is the Hogwarts Legacy House Cup?

PCGamesN Friday, May 5, 2023 7:00 AM  If you're looking for the Redfall release date, we have all the information you need. The co-op vampire shooter comes from developer Arkane, best known for building rich, very deliberate worlds, and weaving intricate stories around their fascinating creations. This time, instead of a space station, or the clockwork city of Dunwall, they've focused on a small tourist town in the eastern US. Are there vampires? Sure. A sniper with an undead eye? Check. They even have a cryptozoologist, because why not. The cast of Redfall characters is varied enough, but how will this co-op game fare when compared to Arkane's other creations? Many have likened Redfall to co-op shooters like Left 4 Dead, although it's more like Far Cry than the aforementioned zombie shooter. Here's what we know about its release date, all the trailers, gameplay, and more.

PCGamesN Friday, May 5, 2023 6:50 AM  When does Hogwarts Legacy take place?

To put this into context, Dumbledore is a mere child in the events of this game, so it's as if we're stepping into a brand-new world. With its rather early timeframe, most of the Hogwarts Legacy characters are new faces, with no Hagrid or Harry Potter to help you settle in.
