The latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 may be hiding bits of unannounced content. A data miner claims to have found evidence of a new story episode centered in the Pacifica region along with supplements to existing quests and other additions.

Eurogamer reports that the data miner romulus_is_here used the modding tool CP77 Tools to uncover new files in the 1.21 patch outside the usual data structure from the other quests. He said that the main quests use a basic file numbering system that goes from q000 to q204. The new files added in the latest patch start with q301, and are named “story-ep1.”

Some of these files have been in the game since launch, but according to Romulus, the update added a number of new files tagged “ep1.” While there were only five of these files at launch,…

September is shaping up to be a massive month on the 2023 gaming calendar, and between the likes of Starfield, Mortal Kombat 1, and a PS5 release of Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077 is preparing to make its presence felt with a massive expansion. Phantom Liberty, the one-and-only expansion planned for Cyberpunk 2077, is just weeks away and aims to introduce some sweeping changes to CD Projekt Red’s open-world game. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Set in a new section of Night City, players will go deep into the bowels of Dogtown to save the NUSA president in a high-risk mission where failure isn’t an option. Dogtown is home to dangerous gangs, secrets, and allies, and on top of that, Phantom Liberty will allow for player…

YouTubers are finding that older content is being restricted and/or demonetized because of newly implemented content and advertising rules. Some video creators are protesting the changes and are even considering leaving the platform.

According to Eurogamer, YouTube introduced a new advertising policy back in November 2022, placing further restrictions on and de-monetizing certain videos featuring violence or profanity. Obviously any kind of real world violence is subject to demonetization or removal, depending on the exact content, but this new policy introduces restrictions on video game violence as well. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Basically, if a video features profanity or gory violence within the firs…

When Diablo Immortal was announced at BlizzCon 2018 as a free-to-play, mobile-only entry in Blizzard’s storied ARPG franchise, it was met with a tepid response from fans. One player in attendance went so far to ask if the game was an out of season April Fool’s joke on Blizzard’s part. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Flash forward to now, after Blizzard recently announced Diablo Immortal would also be coming to PC (in what is being labeled a beta) with full cross-play and cross-progression with mobile, and the fan reaction has changed. Many players are now cautiously optimistic about the franchise’s foray into mobile and free-to-play.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 epitomizes the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in one very big way: it provides no direct connections nor references to any other current MCU story.

Considering most of the live-action members of the cast are done with the franchise after this movie, that’s not an inappropriate way to do it. This movie is the swan song for this iteration of this team of heroes, and so it makes sense they would want to focus on their story over that of the rest of the franchise.

But it’s still pretty frustrating. Just as it has been frustrating to watch most of the rest of the MCU’s shows and movies exist in their own separate bubbles the last couple years. But while the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 doesn’t directly h…

EA’s next big sports game, Madden NFL 22, launches later this month, and it promises to replicate the professional sport even more authentically this year. In a blog post, EA ran through some of the updates for the game in the authenticity department, and this includes new equipment like mouthpieces making it into the game, custom-length socks, and better-looking player models. Not everything may look better, however, as EA acknowledged it was a struggle to obtain head-scans for NFL players due to COVID.

Starting with the equipment, mouthpieces are now fully in the game after an “initial offering” came by way of a title update for Madden NFL 21 last year. In this year’s game, all primary and secondary team colors are supported for mouthpieces, which can be worn across all modes an…

After a closed hearing with the European Commission, Microsoft has announced a new agreement with Nvidia. The 10-year deal will see first-party Xbox games that are playable on PC (like Minecraft) arriving on GeForce Now. And, if the Activision Blizzard acquisition passes, that would mean titles from the Call of Duty franchise arriving on the streaming service too.

GamesIndustry.biz’s Christopher Dring first highlighted the notable pact on Twitter while covering Microsoft’s media briefing today for the website Come from Sports betting site VPbet . Microsoft president Brad Smith reportedly believes that this new deal with Nvidia–along with a 10-year Call of Duty partnership with Nintendo–will help get…

A new report has revealed the jaw-dropping sum of money that Microsoft reportedly spends each year to encourage third-party developers and publishers to bring their games to Xbox Game Pass.

Bloomberg reported that, “Microsoft now spends $1 billion a year getting third-party games on the subscription service.” The site said Microsoft offers “flat fees of millions of dollars upfront” to add titles from smaller publishers to Game Pass.

GameSpot has contacted Microsoft in an effort to get more details on this. Presumably Microsoft would pay more for a developer to bring a new release to Game Pass at launch compared to a licensing arrangement for an older title.

In 2021, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spoken openly about how there is no one defined path for th…
