As new VR headsets push what the technology can do, we’re getting an increasing number of cool and immersive games to go along with it. Korean XR developer Skonec Entertainment has been hard at work making its mark in the VR space over nearly two decades, with standout railgun shooters like Operation Ghost and Mortal Blitz VR. Now Skonec is bringing a little hero shooter flair to VR with Strike Rush on the MetaQuest, which is out today on April 18.

Inspired by genre favorites like Overwatch and Valorant, Strike Rush is a team-based action shooter, bringing all the fun of a hero shooter right to your headset. Two teams of four will duke it out across a variety of maps, vying for control of a point. Amass enough points—by preventing your opponents from capturing or doing a lot of the capturing yourself within 10 minutes—and you’ll secure victory.

Skonec Entertainment has poured its wealth of VR shooter experience into Strike Rush, making it stand out among other hero shooters sitting in your library. Its philosophy is to make gunshooting fun, with some innovative weapons and combat ready to be utilized as a result. Not only that, but Strike Rush features distinct AI companions called Blitzmons, who add a whole other layer of strategy to the game. They can accompany players to points and aid in combat by attack, defending or either healing the team. You’ll even be able to share unique interactions with your Blitzmon, so try not to get too attached.

If you’re looking for a breech-loaded grenade launcher in Destiny 2, it’s pretty likely that you’re trying to complete the newly added Climbing the Mountaintop quest to get The Mountaintop grenade launcher. In the quest you need to rapidly defeat a whole lot of enemies with breech-loaded grenade launchers—bonus progress in Onslaught—or bring one into PvP to kill guardians.

For those who are new to Destiny 2, or just haven’t ever really paid attention to weapon types, you might be scratching your head pondering when such a complicated sounding gun was added to the game. Don’t worry; unless you have literally just started, chances are you already have a breech-loaded grenade launcher, and even if you don’t, it’s easy enough to get a decent one.

What is a breech-loaded grenade launcher?

Star Citizen has just updated its minimum system requirements and they appear rather easy-going: a quad-core CPU of unspecified age, a GPU with 4GB of VRAM, and 16GB of system memory. Many modern systems quite happily conform to that specification, especially with the developers noting a few examples of graphics cards that meet the requirement, including the GTX 1060, RX 460, and Arc A380. 

That’s the absolute bare minimum hardware required to run the game, as per the developers (via KitGuru). Though you probably won’t get far even if you do meet them. Take a look at the Star Citizen subreddit and recent threads would suggest anyone with a similar specification PC may run into some performance issues. In a thread noting the need for updated system requirements, you’ll find multiple mentions of how 32GB of speedy RAM is much more a requirement to enjoy the game with a modicum of performance than anything else.

People like the Fallout TV series on Amazon an awful lot—we called it “the best Fallout since New Vegas“—and that seems to be having quite the spillover effect for the Fallout videogames. All of the games in the long-running post-nuclear RPG series have seen a significant jump in players, and they’ve also muscled their way into Steam’s top-selling games chart.

SteamDB noted on Twitter (via Eurogamer) that “Fallout has more than doubled its concurrent players on Steam with the release of the Fallout TV series.”

Fallout 4 is the biggest beneficiary, spiking up to more than 83,000 concurrent players over the weekend, compared to a high of 24,000 the weekend before, a few days ahead of Amazon’s Fallout launch. Fallout 76 arguably set an even more impressive mark by surpassing 39,000 concurrent players on the weekend following the TV series release, a new all-time high on Steam for the four-year-old game. Fallout 3—my favorite of the Bethesda Fallouts, and I make no apologies for it—also saw a huge bounce, going from roughly 1,000 concurrents on April 7 to 6,700 a week later.

First reported by VG247, Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra took to Twitter a few days ago to suggest a new form of showing developer appreciation: having the option to leave a $10 or $20 tip on a game you love. You know, I guess I like the sentiment at least.

“When I beat a game, there are some that just leave me in awe of how amazing the experience was,” Ybarra wrote. “At the end of the game, I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me for every second.'”
