Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty Expansion Won't Be Free DLC

Cyberpunk 2077 still has one more story to tell in 2023's upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion, and like previous premium content developed by CD Projekt Red, this DLC will have a price tag attached to it. Speaking to GamesRadar, CDPR's global PR director Radek Grabowski confirmed that "as for the expansion's pricing - we have not revealed exact details yet, but it will be a paid one." This isn't a new business tactic for CDPR as the developer expanded on The Witcher 3 after launch with two well-received expansions: Hearts of Stone which cost $10 on release, and the much larger Blood and Wine DLC that retailed for $20 at the time. Like The Witcher 3--which has a free next-gen update on the way--Cyberpunk 2077 also received a substantial amount of free DLC after launch, with the Edgerunners update providing a notable amount of free cosmetics, weapons, and even an extra narrative thread. Grabowski mentioned that "our expansions are traditionally cheaper than full-price games," which suggests that Phantom Liberty may lean towards the Blood and Wine pricing scale as it will give players an entirely new district to explore.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Flight Simulator 2020 Easter Egg Makes Old Flight Sim Titles Playable In Game

Microsoft Flight Simulator dropped its 40th anniversary update on November 11, and keen fans have already unearthed a cool new easter egg celebrating the series' long history--emulated versions of the first four games in the series, which can be played right in your virtual cockpit. As reported by Eurogamer, the easter egg was first picked up by Redditor HughesMDflyer4, who found the games hidden in the cockpit of the Diamond DA62. The easter egg is enabled by flicking the ELT switch, which then brings up the games on the cockpit's Garmin screen. Players can switch between Flight Simulator 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 using buttons at the top of the screen. There are no restrictions on when you load up this little in-game treat, meaning you can fly a plane in one of the retro flight sim programs, while also flying your Flight Simulator 2020 plane. Already fans have used the easter egg to attempt challenges such as landing planes at the same airport in both games at once.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Paramount's Yellowstone Surpasses House Of The Dragon In Season 5 Premiere Ratings

The Paramount Network's Yellowstone premiered its fifth season this week, and to massive ratings--better than Yellowstone Season 4 and better than HBO's Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon, Variety reports. Yellowstone Season 5 premiered on Sunday across the Paramount Network, CMT, TV Land, and Pop; these networks have done this for previous seasons as well, Variety notes. On its chief platform, Paramount Network, Yellowstone Season 5 lassoed 8.8 million users, up from 8 million for the Season 4 premiere. Across all four networks, though, that number climbs to 10.3 million, which would seem to suggest that all of the show's growth took place on Paramount Network. Encore airings increased that number to 12.1 million viewers. Compared this to HBO's House of the Dragon, which airs on HBO and HBO Max, this is especially impressive. HBO's Game of Thrones spinoff drew in 9.99 million viewers across the two services when it premiered in August. House of the Dragon episodes averaged closer to 30 million when accounting for users catching up later in the season, encore airings on HBO, and things like that. There's no data yet on how Yellowstone compares to that number.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Star Wars Series Andor Will Air First Two Episodes On FX, Hulu, And Other Disney Networks For Thanksgiving Preview

Disney+'s Rogue One prequel series, Andor, is picking up a ton of critical acclaim, and even some early Emmy talk for the latest episode, "One Way Out." However, compared to Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor hasn't exactly put pop culture in a vice grip. That could change next week though. On the Star Wars official Twitter, it was announced Monday that the first two episodes of Andor will also air on Disney-owned ABC, Hulu, FX, and Freeform starting November 23, right before Thanksgiving. More are joining the Rebellion. @ABCNetwork, @FXNetworks, @FreeformTV and @Hulu will air the first two episodes of #Andor starting 11/23. pic.twitter.com/fZyuzOP2kz — Star Wars | Andor & Tales of the Jedi On Disney+ (@starwars) November 14, 2022 Now unless you're sports or a giant parade, that's usually a black hole for anything else during this time. On November 23, the episodes will air on ABC. The next day, Thanksgiving, you can watch them on FX. On Black Friday, you'll be able to take a break from your shopping to watch them on Freeform. If none of those dates work for you, you're still in luck. The episodes will stream on Hulu from November 23 until December 7.Continue Reading at GameSpot

How To Stop God Of War Ragnarok Companions From Solving Puzzles For You

God of War Ragnarok isn't just a game of familial bonding and bone-crunching brutality, as it often throws puzzles at Kratos and Atreus. Similar to 2018's God of War, these cerebral roadblocks usually require you to use recently acquired tools and abilities to solve them, and they make for a fun breather after the more intense combat sequences. The problem here though, as several people have pointed out online, is that God of War Ragnarok doesn't give you too much time to solve these puzzles before one of your companions starts to offer solutions. It's worth noting that there is an option to extend the time allotted to you to figure out how to successfully complete these mysteries, but for some people, it's not long enough. God Of War Ragnarok NPCs when they see you taking longer than 2 seconds to solve a puzzle pic.twitter.com/4eCsZj6FAR — 🍑 (@SweetPeachGames) November 13, 2022 If a video game is going to give you the answer to a puzzle 20 seconds after you find it, there was really no point in including the puzzle, to begin with. The fact that God of War Ragnarok is the second game I've played this year that does this is absolutely ridiculous. — Joseph Pugh (Gideon's Gaming) (@GideonsGaming) November 10, 2022 Ayyo this puzzle in the new god of war kinda confusing pic.twitter.com/DsQ2dq51wD — Dargus (@CosmicDarg) November 14, 2022 To find that option, you'll want to head to options, gameplay, and then select puzzle timing. Select Extended + and you'll get more time to figure out the mysteries of the realms.Continue Reading at GameSpot
