As first reported by Vice's Motherboard, the trove of documents includes a series of presentations that show Roblox's strategy for expanding into China. These documents include a China MVP Ideas from Aug Trip (2017) presentation and a document outlining the intricacies of a potential relationship between Roblox and Tencent called the China Government Policy (2018), both of which detail the steps Roblox would need to take if it wanted to expand into the lucrative Chinese market.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 6:54 PM  The MultiVersus cosmetics system comes with a bit of a quirk that's rather frustrating for some players. Even if you purchase a skin or other cosmetic, such as an emote, with real money or gold, there's probably going to be a moment in the first month or so of your time with the fighting game that you're actually blocked from using it, at least for a little while. MultiVersus features a roster of free characters that rotates every few weeks. During launch week, you can play as Superman even without unlocking him, for example, while the following week may feature Shaggy or Tom and Jerry. |

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 6:31 PM  Project Cambria is set to be Meta's next best VR headset that's fuelled by metaverse ambitions, but it won't replace the Oculus Quest 2. The company says the mixed reality device will cater to more than just gaming, even going as far as to claim it could replace your work PC or laptop. While this suggests the device will be all work and no play, there's reason to believe it'll still be a great option for VR games, even if the Oculus Quest 3 ends up being the company's actual next-gen VR gaming gizmo. We suspect that Project Cambria is the new title for the previously rumoured Oculus Quest Pro, but rumblings of an enhanced Oculus Quest 2 Pro are now making the rounds. At the company's debut Meta Connect conference in October 2021, CEO Mark Zuckerberg described its mixed reality device as a "completely new advanced and high-end product." The Facebook boss has since emphasised the difference between Quest and the new metaverse goggles in a Facebook post, claiming they aim to "seamlessly blend virtual reality with the physical world." Zuckerberg's description is perhaps more fluffy than helpful, but we've collated everything we know about Project Cambria in an effort to decipher the Meta headset's potential price, release date, and specs.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 6:13 PM  A fresh Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us. As a premier live service game, one of the main ways that Bungie keeps players coming back to Destiny 2 is with its weekly resets. These typically offer a content refresh across the space game's various planets, raids, and dungeons, along with minor bug fixes and changes to address outstanding player concerns. The reset often includes new seasonal mission content or updates to existing in-game activities for players who own the seasonal content. And, with ongoing weekly updates to the Nightfall, the Crucible playlist, campaign missions, in-game activities and bounties, there's more to track than ever. The Destiny 2 weekly reset takes place at the same time each week. There's often some server downtime around the reset, so you should take note of that if you're unable to log into the game at precisely that time. Once the reset begins, you'll have a full week to explore all the changes before Bungie rolls out another set of changes on the same day and time the following week. Here, we're offering Destiny 2 players a recap of all the weekly reset changes so you know what shiny new activities to prioritise while grinding for loot.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 5:40 PM  Want to know what this week's Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon is? Each week you've got a chance at a different weapon for completing Nightfall Strikes, and ever since Season of the Lost, fan-favourite legacy weapons from the original Destiny have been added to the rotation. Two new weapons were introduced into the pool in Season of the Risen, so it's more important than ever to know in advance the Nightfall weapon schedule. In case you don't know what the Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon means, Nightfall: The Ordeal is a playlist available in the Vanguard menu, alongside the basic Strike playlist. Each week, a different Strike is chosen as the Nightfall, and offered in five escalating difficulties, with harder enemies, challenging modifiers, and enemy power levels cranking up. The coveted Nightfall weapons have a chance to drop from any Nightfall Strike difficulty, but it's far more likely at higher levels. Your best bet for farming each week's Nightfall weapon is to set the Strike to Master difficulty, according to YouTuber Aztecross. You should also note that there's no automatic matchmaking above Hero difficulty, however, so you'll need to get a squad together.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 3:39 PM  MultiVersus is down currently, which means you can't log into Warner Bros. zany fighting game for the time being. The development team acknowledged the server status on the official MultVersus Twitter page and said the down time is for routine server maintenance. While the team offered no further explanation or estimate for when players can expect MultiVerrsus to go live again, it's not entirely unexpected. The fighting game just entered its first open beta period, following two limited closed beta runs, and it's likely just a general growing pains period. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 3:06 PM  Are you looking for a Multiversus tier list? The Warner Bros fighting game is currently in open beta, with many players gaining access to its colourful cast of characters for the first time. Soon, we will know who the most powerful characters are, from DC Superheroes such as Batman and Wonder Woman to Cartoon Network favourites like Finn the Human and Steven Universe. We even have throwback characters from Warner Bros' back catalogue of shows acquired over the years, including Shaggy and Velma from Scooby Doo. With such an illustrious gathering of fighters, a Multiversus tier list was inevitable. Judging by other competitive multiplayer games, ranking these fighters goes beyond looking at their individual abilities. Multiversus focuses on team-based combat, with each fighter broken down into roles such as Bruiser and Tank. In order to create the definitive Multiversus tier list, we looked at how well each fighter interacts with their partner, in addition to how good they are on their own. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 3:04 PM  Want to know about the best Multiversus perks? That question has many different answers, a lot of them depending on which one of the 16 characters you've chosen to main in the Warner Bros-themed fighting game. We recommend checking out our Multiversus tier list if you want an idea of who the best fighters are on the roster. Unlocking the best Multiversus perks requires you to level up the Mastery of every character to level 13. On top of this, you only get the ability to equip perks your allies have at level six, and the option to 'train' in any Ally perk at level nine. Training means you buy each perk for 150 coins, but if you want to have a strong perk, such as Taz's Tasmanian Trigonometry, available for every character in the game, you need to spend over 2,000 coins. Doing this for all 16 fighters will be tedious, so you should prioritise which perks you want to unlock for your favourite character. Luckily, we're here to help. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 4:19 PM  The Oculus Quest 2 is a VR headset heavy hitter, and Meta is harnessing its success to fuel its Metaverse plans. Not only has the rumoured Oculus Quest Pro morphed into a different VR venture dubbed Project Cambria, but the company says the Oculus Quest 3 is still on the cards. Releasing a successor to one of the best VR headsets on the market isn't an unexpected move, but Meta recently rebranded its Quest lineup to better match its Facebook parent company name. Naturally, this means the Oculus Quest 2 could be the last of its kind, as the Oculus Quest 3 will likely release as the Meta Quest 3 instead. Meta's Quest is set to continue, and the gaming PC headset will likely take a different path to that of Project Cambria. Yet, both VR experiences could feature similar tech under the hood, which makes matching up rumours difficult. With that in mind, here's everything we know about the Oculus Quest 3 release date rumours, potential price, and its possible specs under the hood.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 12:31 PM  Smash Bros competitor Multiversus is finally out today as a free game in open beta, and it's already getting modded. The first Multiversus mods aren't likely to change anything too radical - this is a live game, after all - but could add new skins, like Sonic the Hedgehog, Optimus Prime, or... Pepsiman? To mod Multiversus, all you apparently have to do is go to your Multiversus game folder, then Content/Paks and create a new folder called ~mods - then put any mods in there. @UltIMa647 on Twitter is putting together some fun creations, like a cool black suit Superman and the weird Japanese mascot Pepsiman - who has his own Playstation game, incidentally. While those aren't available just yet, UltIMa647 isn't the only one modding Multiversus - so let's take a look at some of the best character creations available now. |
PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 12:31 PM  When is the Overwatch 2 release date? Initially revealed back at BlizzCon 2019, Overwatch 2 has gone through a rocky development period. While the devs wanted to keep the fans in the loop in regards to Overwatch 2 updates, the departure of game director Jeff Kaplan, among other developments at Blizzard put a temporary stop to this. In March 2022, Blizzard announced their plans to decouple the PvP features of the FPS game from the PvE systems. This change makes it possible to get Overwatch 2's PvP multiplayer modes into the hands of players right away. With the Overwatch 2 release date only a few months away, there's plenty to look forward to as more features are unveiled.

PCGamesN Tuesday, July 26, 2022 12:28 PM  Want to know how Multiversus toast works? To promote good cheer in this light-hearted, yet competitive fighting game, Player First Games allows players to commend a teammate or competitor after a match. Toasting someone's performance rewards players with a slight boost to their in-game currency. Think of it as a 'Like' on YouTube videos or other social media posts, as a way of thanking your allies and adversaries for an excellent match. If you ask me, more games need a system like this to promote a positive atmosphere. Multiverse toast comes at a premium as it requires you to spend in-game coins. You get 25 coins for each toast you receive. In addition, you need to toast other players to unlock three similar achievements, the most time-consuming being giving out 100 toasts to other players. |

The twist is that there's no money fuelling your construction. Instead, your city flourishes or not based on your ability to fulfil each building's resource requirements, which quickly turns progress into more of a puzzle than a management game. It's out on Steam now, and you can find a trailer of its pretty voxel world below. |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, July 26, 2022 5:30 PM  Bank robberies are classic cowboy fare. Whether you're up to no good in Red Dead Redemption 2 or stealing from the rich to (sort of) give to the poor in the original Desperados, these temples of cash have long been the scenes of messy shootouts, upturned tables, and big, golden pay-outs. At least when your heist strategy's going according to plan, that is. In an exclusive demo for one of the later levels in Hard West 2, the upcoming sequel to the 2015 turn-based tactics original, Ice Code Games' chief technology officer Mateusz Pilski is starting to feel the heat a bit. The bank is well guarded, with at least half a dozen gunslingers staking out the doors at the front, and untold numbers waiting in hidden nooks and crannies further back. He takes a moment to consider his approach, but he begins his assault with confidence. "In any XCOM-like, when you see that many enemies and that much firepower, in that good a position, you think, okay, I'm fucked up," he tells me. "In just a second, I will show you how you can use Bravado to totally overturn the situation." |

This model debuted at £330, got more expensive over time as the worst of the GPU supply shortage hit, and was impossible to find below RRP even after its next-generation successor, the RTX 3060 launched two years later. Now the RTX 2060 has finally dipped in price, making it an ideal time to pick up what is still a powerful and feature-complete graphics card for 1080p or even 1440p gaming. You can pick up a compact EVGA RTX 2060 SC model for just £212 on Amazon right now, a 52% drop from its peak price and a fair deal for the level of performance on offer. |

Reason being? You get fewer cores than those processors, and slower clock speeds, but dramatically increased cache - a trade-off that often provides a massive performance improvement for gaming. The 5800X3D was extremely hard to find at launch, with AMD's limited inventory being claimed as soon as the first reviews rolled in, but now we're starting to see better availability - and today, the first proper discounts.

Sega revealed at the July 2022 NGS Headline program that it will add new costumes and accessories modeled after Hololive Production VTubers in Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis. It will include these items in the "Virtual Streamers" scratch on August 24, 2022. Players of the online game will be able to obtain multiple items that turn their avatars into the three VTubers representing the entire group. Shirakami Fubuki, who plays New Genesis the most in the group, will represent the Japanese VTuber team. Hololive English's Ninomae Ina'nis will also appear on behalf of the group's international talents. And Kageyama Shien will become the representative of the male VTuber group Holostars. Other than Hololive Production, the "Virtual Streamers" scratch will also include costumes and accessories based on the game's dedicated Japanese streamer Sabakuro and the Phantasy Star series VTuber Popona.
In addition to the above, Sega will hold a Beginners' Boost campaign to help new players gear up in PSO2: New Genesis when the Hololive Production content goes live on August 24, 2022. All players will also be able to get in-game stickers of Hololive and Holostars logos, as well as the three featured VTubers' personal emblems.
The Hololive Production VTubers will become the first external collaboration content made specifically for PSO2: New Genesis. While Sega released Attack on Titan content for the Global server in November 2021, it originally made the items for the classic Phantasy Star Online 2 in 2017 in Japan. In the New Genesis update roadmap for late 2022, Sega revealed plans to add new crossover content from another company's game in October 2022 and an anime show in November 2022. Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is available on PCs worldwide. The online game is also available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan, as well as Xbox One and Xbox Series X for the Global version. Sega will add the PS4 to the Global platform lineup on August 31, 2022. The post PSO2 New Genesis Will Have Hololive Production VTuber Avatar Parts appeared first on Siliconera. |

Konami will add five music tracks from Toby Fox's Undertale into Sound Voltex: Exceed Gear on July 28, 2022. Players of the rhythm arcade game will be able to play the tracks while adding effects to them. The five Undertale tracks that will be available in Sound Voltex are "Bonetrousle," "Spear of Justice," "Death by Glamour," "Asgore," and "Finale." Toby Fox's name will also appear in the arcade game as the composer of all five tracks.
Sound Voltex is a series of rhythm games where players can hold buttons and turn knobs to add effects to a song. Exceed Gear is the sixth and latest iteration of the series that Konami launched in February 2021 in Japan. The company also updated the game's PC version in December 2021. In late June 2022, Round 1 USA brought Sound Voltex as one of the new arcade games in its facilities across the U.S. Despite adding five tracks at once, this is not the first time Konami inserted Undertale music into its Bemani series of rhythm games. In May 2022, the company added "Megalovania" into Dance Dance Revolution A3. Sound Voltex: Exceed Gear is available on PC and arcades. The music tracks from Undertale will appear in the latest Sound Voltex entry on July 28, 2022. The post Undertale Music Tracks Will Appear in Sound Voltex appeared first on Siliconera. |

More pedometers featuring The Idolmaster characters will appear in Japan, and this time it will include over 300 characters from the whole franchise. Tanita has opened pre-orders for the items on its website. Each and every pedometer will have the same price tag of 3,300 yen. In late 2021, Tanita released pedometers that featured 190 idols from The Idolmaster: Cinderella Girls. The title's roster is already larger than all other Idolmaster entries combined, but that still does not stop the company from expanding the product lineup to cover the whole Idolmaster series. The new pedometer designs will feature 39 idols from Million Live, 25 characters from Shiny Colors, and 49 male idols from SideM. It will also add 19 characters who debuted in the console games, including the original 765 Production members, the 876 Production idols from the 2009 DS game Dearly Stars, and the 2021 PS4 and PC title Starlit Season. In total, the lineup will have all 322 idols from the entire franchise represented. [gallery columns="1" ids="932741" link="file"] Tanita will close the pre-order period for The Idolmaster series pedometers on September 5, 2022. It will produce the items based on the number of orders received and ship them from mid-November 2022. The Idolmaster is a series of Japanese idol-raising simulation games that began as an arcade title in 2005. The latest console entry, The Idolmaster: Starlit Season, is available on PlayStation 4 and PC in Japan and Asia.

Cross-play is a feature that thrives on games like Aliens: Fireteam Elite. The co-op PvE nature is forever attractive to friends who want to want to have a good time slaying bugs or even zombies. Fireteam Elite is getting the feature with Season 4, which starts today. To play the game with players on other platforms, the steps seem simple. In the in-game menu, go to Team, then Crossplay, and then add up your friends. "I'm especially excited about crossplay! That's one feature we've heard you loud and clear on and we've been working hard to get it in the game," said Craig Zinkievich, CEO of Cold Iron Studios. &... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 26, 2022 5:00 PM  Just yesterday, developer Studio Snowblind unveiled its first game, which comes in the form of an underwater action game called Glaciered. This unique adventure sees players taking control of a Tuai, an underwater species descended from birds, as they explore a submerged Earth 65 million years after mankind went extinct. Such a premise would feel right at home in a contemplative, explorative game like Abzu, but Glaciered does not offer that kind of experience despite what the first half of the reveal trailer may lead one to believe. Instead, Glaciered centers around high-octane 3D combat not too dissimilar to the likes of Zone of the Enders. According to the Steam page, Earth has succumbed to the "Everwinter," which has created an enormous sheet of ice that covers the planet's entire surface. In this post-apocalyptic future, life thrives in the waters underneath the ice. In particular, the Tuai have developed a "superior intellect and unique metabolism... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 26, 2022 4:30 PM  MultiVersus is finally available for players to try out. The free-to-play fighting game has been in open beta since July 19. In that time, MultiVersus has already received plenty of changes. New patch notes delve into buffs, nerfs, and changes for some characters. The list of changes in MultiVersus isn't huge, but it does offer some big balancing improvements, which includes a nerf for Taz. Before we get into the depths of the patch notes, let's cover the smaller changes to the game first. To start off, LeBron James is officially playable in the game from today. The free character rotation has also been changed to feature Finn, Garnet, Superman, and Reindog. Then there's the Open Beta Welcome Event, which increases the gold earned from matches by 25%. These will be in place until August 8. Taz has finally been nerfed If you've been playing since last week, you'll know that Taz has dominated the game. His side special, the tornado, was just a bit too... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 26, 2022 4:00 PM  SCS launched a big update for American Truck Simulator, bringing the game version up to 1.45. Update 1.45 adds a new city for the Wyoming expansion and new types of trailers to own, refreshes of some in-game company brands, provides mod support for multiplayer mode, and more. The wealth of improvements made to the game span from some quality of life adjustments to entirely new features. The new city added to the sim's Wyoming expansion is the picturesque settlement of Cody, which includes a variety of famous landmarks, new industrial job points, and a new way to see Yellowstone National Park. American Truck Simulator players will now be able to own their own tank trailers, which come in two kinds: fuel tanks and silos. The former is self-explanatory, but the latter will allow you to haul bulk materials such as sand, concrete, or grain. Each new trailer comes in different configurations, and new types of tank trailers will join them "in the future." New wheels,... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Tuesday, July 26, 2022 3:30 PM  Oculus announced that from August onward all models of the Quest 2 will be more expensive. Specifically, the Meta Quest 2's price will increase by $100. The 128GB version will go from $299 USD to $399 USD while the 256GB version will increase to $499 USD. In the blog post announcing these changes, Facebook Reality Labs, formerly known as Oculus, provided an explanation as to why. The virtual reality hardware developer claims that "the costs to make and ship [its] products have been on the rise." The raise in Quest 2 prices is to counteract these costs. The lone positive of this change is that the Meta Quest 2 will now come bundled with the VR rhythm game Beat Saber. Beat Saber is the best-selling game on the Oculus Store and is widely considered the best virtual reality game. Although given that it only retails at $29.99 USD, that still leaves consumers $70 worse off. Future Meta Quest 2 owners are unlikely to be impressed by Reality Labs' boasting. Despi... |
