THE NINTENDO Switch is known as the family friendly console of choice, and a new promotion has made it even easier for people to play games together. Nintendo wanted the Switch to be a console people played with friends and family, which is why it’s one of the few consoles that comes with two controllers.

A reliable leaker has beat the Epic Games Store to revealing not just this week's free game giveaway, but also one that will not start until the end of August. In recent weeks, it seemed that @billbil_kun had stepped back from leaking details about the Epic Games Store's future free game giveaways. However, that changed last week when they outlined $80 worth of free content headed the way of Epic Games account holders, full details of which we have covered separately. Now, @billbil_kun has managed to confirm the storefront's plans even further out than they have previously.

Fortnite Reload has gained a lot of popularity since its release in late June 2024. The game mode brought back many iconic places from Chapter 1, which turned out to be a recipe for success. Thanks to its popularity, Epic Games will keep developing the mode and adding new content for it. Right now, you can also play a Fortnite Reload Chapter 2 map, although there is a twist.

The Xbox brand has been getting tons of headlines over the last 24 hours, and not in a positive way. There’s been plenty being shown and said during Gamescom that makes many wonder what the brand’s fate will be going forward. Naturally, the team is attempting to “wave off” any “misgivings” that may appear obvious, including by trying to cloud the news with some reveals. For example, Microsoft dropped a trailer highlighting three new types of Xbox Series X/S models that players can get. Each has its own “unique variation” to separate it from the others. Here’s how they all break down.

Microsoft Reveals Three New Xbox Series X/S Models Are Now Available For Pre-Order

Unlike phones, most accessories have limited repairability. Take the Google Pixel Watch line, for example. The last year's Pixel Watch 2 could only be replaced, and as the company has recently confirmed, the latest Pixel Watch 3 shares the same story. Most smart rings aren't any different. The Oura Ring...

Microsoft is rumored to be developing several upcoming titles and one of the consoles some believe to be in development is an Xbox hybrid console similar to the Nintendo Switch. However, according to Windows Central’s JezCorden this turns out to be false. In the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, Corden stated that the console will be a standard home console but will have a handheld as an add on. “I’ll tell you now: there’s going to be a separate handheld and there’s going to be an Xbox Series X successor,” he said. “It’s going to be two different things. They’re not just going to try and go all in on handheld only; they’re going to do a more traditional console for the Series X people and then a handheld. […] I’m predicting a Series X successor, a handheld, and the end of the paywall for premium multiplayer games.”

The Next Xbox Console Reportedly Won’t Be a Hybrid Console

Many of Fortnite’s skins require you to purchase their bundles through the premium shop for V-Bucks or advance through the current season’s Battle Pass. However, you can occasionally get them for free from quests, and the Katalina skin is one of many that just require a bit of time and dedication.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL are Google's answers to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Daniel Sin on YouTube (watch below) has compared the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL to the iPhone 15 Pro Max with some interesting results — especially when it comes to Google's front-facing camera and zoom and video chops, all of which outperformed the iPhone 15 Pro by a fair shout.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
