     Valorant codes August 2024

August 16, 2024: We checked for new Valorant codes.

What are the new Valorant codes? Everyone likes it when they get free stuff, and it's even better when it's for hugely popular multiplayer games like Valorant. However, in the case of high-profile titles such as this, there can be long gaps between giveaways, and even then, they may not be available to redeem for long.

When Riot Games does give us a few free Valorant items to redeem, they could include Gun Buddies, which you can clip onto your weapons after tinkering with Valorant crosshair codes. If you want a stylish new look to show off as you climb through the Valorant ranks, here's the latest list of codes for this highly competitive FPS game so you can get the newest freebies.

     A new Age of Empires game is coming soon, but not like we'd hoped

On paper, finding out that a new Age of Empires game is about to be released is always a good thing. AoE 2 is one of the set texts of the RTS genre, up there with Command and Conquer, StarCraft, and Total Annihilation. With Civilization 7 and Frostpunk 2 inbound, it's heartening to see the return of the strategy series, the last full outing for which was back in 2021. But the upcoming Age of Empires might not be precisely what you hoped. It will be released very soon, and we'll definitely give it a chance, but this isn't the full return to PC of which you might have dreamed.

     Save $150 on the Asus ROG Ally right now, if you act fast

The Asus ROG Ally just become a must-buy thanks to a massive discount that makes it as cheap as a Steam Deck while packing in all the extra power of the more up to date AMD processor used in Asus's handheld. This Asus ROG Ally deal is part of a three-day discount across a wide range of Microsoft products that runs until Sunday, August 18, or until stocks run out.

The Asus ROG Ally is among the best handheld gaming PCs you can buy, with its only major drawbacks being the slightly cumbersome nature of its Windows interface and its high price. The former is something that's potentially being fixed with a new Xbox App for handhelds update and the imminent arrival of the Steam Deck's SteamOS for the ROG Ally and other handhelds. Meanwhile, today's deal takes care of that high price.

     Genshin Impact codes for August 2024 and how to redeem codes

August 16, 2024: We added the codes from the livestream

What are the new Genshin Impact codes? Gathering Primogems and Mora in Genshin Impact can be quite the grind. Fortunately, developer HoYoverse occasionally sends out gifts in the form of Genshin redeem codes. Most codes only work for a limited time, so it's best to redeem them as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

Genshin Impact codes are released periodically, frequently appearing in Hoyoverse special programs: regular video updates detailing future updates to the free PC game. Redeem codes can also drop to celebrate milestones or to coincide with new Genshin Impact events. You can find all the active Genshin codes for August 2024 below, and we also detail what they get you, how to redeem them, and where you can look for more.

Any gags I could make about an update that lets Total War: Warhammer 3's dawi play tall are far too obvious for the discerning comedic palette that brought you such bangers as that time I just wrote "(penis)" a bunch so the Overkill's Walking Dead page wouldn't quote me out of context, so let's just dive right in to the details. The strategy game's 5.2 update is on the horizon, and tagging along with it are the first of the "extra bits" the team teased in June. I'm very excited about them. They sit somewhere between the usual patch fare of stat tweaks and errata, and the weightier faction facelifts that come alongside paid DLC. They're also focused right where Immortal Empires needs them the most: depth, rather than width. In the dawi's case, quite literally.

The mountain biking of Lonely Mountains: Downhill was sometimes a relaxing ride down gentle slopes, and at other times a hairy hurtle down declivitous cliffs. Alongside the likes of the Descenders and Riders Republic, it offered a more laid-back game, open to furious time trialling but always remembering to let you stop and appreciate the view. Both the stakes and the poly count were low. Happy news then, that it is getting a snowy sequel. In Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders you'll be swapping your bike for a pair of skis, and you'll be able to barrel down the mountainside with friends in co-op.

For years, our PC storage has wobbled and buckled beneath the tyranny of gigantic Call Of Duty installs. Like 13th century peasants straining to convey huge, teetering loads of freshly quarried LMGs, our SSDs cry out for justice. Perhaps scenting imminent rebellion and a mass audience desertion to low-poly shooters with more civilised file sizes, Activision have relented. Future installations of the much-padded FPS will be "smaller and more customised", though in a last cruel stroke of villainy, they want you to download a large update to prepare the ground.
