Plus, new details about crossplay, the season pass, and more.

Infinity Ward revealed today that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will feature a 100-player Ground War mode for its launch in October. I have to imagine that some people at DICE and EA are paying a bit more attention to the franchise knowing that this is a thing that is very real and very much coming soon.

The reveal of the game's multiplayer says that there will be quick, close-quarter 2v2 experiences with the Gunfight game mode. Traditional 6v6 multiplayer modes will still exist in addition to modes that support...

It's almost time to get medieval on some fools.

Come June 4, you and your friends can hop into the open beta for the medieval themed MMO called Conqueror's Blade. You are free to join in on some 15 vs. 15 siege battles, try out a variety of era-appropriate weapons, create your own character, and more.

The game at release will be a free-to-play affair with all of the stuff that usually comes with something like that. That also includes things like a Founder's Pack. Those that own the Founder's Pack, priced starting at $59.99 (USD), will get to play a whole week earlier...

The online beta test for Dead or Alive 6 launched today (January 11, 2019) on the PlayStation 4. The catch with this one is the fact that this beta is exclusive to those with PlayStation Plus subscriptions. As of this writing, you can already download the beta from the PlayStation Store.

Players will have from now until January 14 at 6:59 AM (PT) to play in this beta. The beta includes the Online Versus mode and four "iconic" characters that include Kasumi, Ayane, Hayate, and Hayabusa. It will also allow you to play as one of the new characters coming in Dead or...

We already know that Battlefield V will not have any Premium Pass to bump up the cost of the game. All future content for the game, save for probably cosmetics, will be free so long as you at least own the base game. That's pretty neat.

However, a game that still does have a Premium Pass is Battlefield 1. If you own the game, then you may want to stay tuned for next week when DICE and EA will make the Battlefield 1 Premium Pass available for free to everyone for a limited time. It works like this: After the open beta for Battlefield V ends on September 11, DICE and EA will make the Premium Pass for Battlefield 1 free to everyone for one full we...

In addition to this beta news, it was revealed today that Battlefield V will make use of Nvidia's RTX tech for real-time ray tracing.

Earlier today, EA and DICE quietly opened up the beta for Star Wars Battlefront II. Over the past couple of days, the beta was "closed" to the point that only those who pre-ordered the game prior to October 1 were able to participate. Today, everyone can play.

To save you a bit of time, PC users can head to the demos and betas section of Origin to quickly add the "Star Wars Battlefront II Multiplayer Beta" to their account. It will then prompt you to launch Origin if you have it installed and it should download the game automatically. That's pretty much it.
