Today VALORANT developers Riot Games announced Split is playable in competitive queue again just one day after being disabled. Although the developers did not mention what exploit caused the disabling of the map, it has been speculated the recent Jett exploit in Heaven prompted Riot to take swift action. Riot disabled Split from competitive queues on June 9 following the circulation of a popular Jett updraft exploit that allowed the character to land on a light above Heaven toward the A-site.

With the FIFA 21 Ultimate Team game cycle coming to an end, EA has been adding ridiculously great cards to the game that are arguably better than most of the Icons and even Team of the Year (TOTY) players so the player base can recycle their team. With that, the game has become as competitive as ever, given that many players can afford those end-game cards regardless of whether they’ve spent money on FIFA points.

For two generations, Fairy-type Pokémon have dominated the meta. But Pokémon Sword and Shield look like they’ll change that solely because many of the bigger threats from the last several games are gone.  That means a lot of the old fallbacks aren’t there to bail you out and it’s time to take some new Pokémon out for a test drive while the meta develops. From bulk to straight sweepers, there could be a third straight set of games that feature Fairy-type as the dominant force depending on how the builds open up.

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and VALORANT players can celebrate with a new bundle and exciting Lunar Celebration event pass. The new Tigris bundle introduces five new skins, including a melee skin. The event pass also contains three free rewards for players that complete the pass while its available.  The Tigris bundle includes skins for the Phantom, Shorty, Spectre, Operator, and a new melee skin. Each weapon has a black and red color scheme with gold accents, and the trailer shows them shining in the light.

Stats make the starter. Or in this case, the better stats could help you get an eventual edge if you plan on keeping your starter Pokémon with you throughout your journey in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Even without the competitive battling aspect that most Pokémon games have, optimizing your Pokémon’s stats through the use of natures is still an important factor in building a team.  A nature is a descriptor to give a Pokémon more personality.

Destiny 2‘s Shattered Realm: Forest of Echoes hides far more than just the location of the lost Techeuns. Players can find a series of secret chests as part of Trivial Mysteries if they know where to look. Looting the chest will automatically conclude the Trivial Mystery, so they are essentially the same thing. Finding the Mysteries involves a fair bit of going back and forth through the Ascendant Plane. The effort is worth it, though.

Fynch will send the Guardian in all sorts of errands in Destiny 2‘s The Witch Queen expansion, and if you’re doing the Trust Goes Both Ways quest, then you’ll have to look for a few odds and ends—including regional and faction chests. Luckily for players, though, they’re not hard to find. Step three of Trust Goes Both Ways has players find four faction chests and complete two Patrols specifically in Miasma, one of the three zones in Savathûn’s Throne World.

EA has revealed that a 10-hour early access period for Battlefield 2042 will start on Nov. 12 for EA Play members, including Xbox Game Pass on PC and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers for consoles, and for those who pre-ordered the game. The previous beta test raised some concerns for players, who received a direct response from the devs saying that the final version of the game would contain many improvements.

Despite what Kyogre’s bulky style might make you think, Kyogre is an attack-focused Pokémon in Pokémon Go. It has 270 points in attack, 228 in defense and 205 in stamina. Still, the gap between its three stats is less wide than many other Legendary Pokémon, which makes it more versatile than most. Since Kyogre is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon, it’s most efficient against Fire, Rock, and Ground-type enemies. Although other Mega-Pokémon can equal its strength, it’s currently the best Water-type Legendary in Pokémon Go.

Destiny 2’s Duality dungeon gives players a challenge by sending them deep inside Calus’ consciousness. The encounters have some mechanics of their own, which can be tricky or counter-intuitive to navigate the first time around. Luckily for players, there’s plenty of loot to go around after clearing the dungeon—including as many times as they want, even in the same reset. As recently as Grasp of Avarice’s release in 2021, Destiny 2’s dungeons were semi-farmable.
