1. Fallout 76 Survival Mode Beta Launches

MEME

We know nobody asked, but the Fallout 76 Survival Mode beta launched this morning. Survival Mode is a more hardcore, PVP focused version of Bethesda recent disappointment. Players will now select upon launch whether they’d like to play Survival Mode or the game’s traditional Adventure Mode. In Survival Mode you’ll take full damage from others immediately and you can only respawn or fast travel at certain locations. Honestly, it sounds pretty tight.

Fallout 76 survival mode beta arrives today, 'slap damage' removed from adventure mode The new PVP mode has fewer restrictions and greater rewards, plus a leaderboard. www.pcgamer.com

  2. Major Star Wars Battlefront II Update Released Today   Remember Star Wars Battlefront II?

Additionally, the update includes several hero balance tweaks and some quality of life improvements. Check out the patch notes in the article below.

Update 1.0.4 adds Legendary Missinos, Elysian Caches, and other adjustments to the game’s loot economy. There is a single Legendary Mission each day, but it can be completed any number of times. The update also made chests and enemies more likely to drop additional items and crafting materials.
