What is expected to be 2020’s biggest game, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, is releasing very, very soon. If you want to get started right away when the game unlocks on November 13, you’ll want to pre-load, and you can do that now on nearly every platform.

Pre-loading on PS4 and Xbox One started on November 5, and PC players were added to the pre-loading party on November 10. People picking up the game on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 can start pre-loading as soon as they get their console.

Pre-loading is a good idea, too, because Black Ops Cold War is a gigantic download. You can see the file sizes below.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, there isn’t a waypoint for everything. In fact, a great deal of the coolest side quests and things to do or discover in the game aren’t even tracked in your Quest log. You just have to go out and find them, and mark down what you’re supposed to do in your mind or on a piece of paper. It’s so cool.

Below, we outline a few of our favorite hidden quests and secrets to discover in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla–not all of them mind you, just the ones that tickled our fancy or caught our eye. Don’t worry, no spoilers here. We’re just going to point out where to go to kick off a secret side quest or find a cool discovery.

Take A Beat To Take A Break

As per tradition, a great deal of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is someone in the present-day using an Animus to relive the memories of someone in the past. Unlike older games in the series, however, Valhalla doesn’t pull you out of the Animus all that often. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t just hop out every once in a while.

The Call of Duty series is known for its linear campaigns, but this has started to shift with the franchise’s recent releases that provided players with more freedom and choice. This trend continues with Black Ops Cold War, and it goes even further, Raven Software’s senior creative director Dan Vondrak told GameSpot.

While Black Ops Cold War will embrace a more open-ended structure, you can and should expect the same kind of over-the-top Call of Duty action that the series is known for. Vondrak said the open-ended elements of Black Ops Cold War were designed to give people a greater sense of ownership of the story, if they choose to embrace it.

“Any amount of player ownership we can put inside a mission, we try to do that. People sometimes just want to get in and just focus on a very linear experience and keep that hard driving Call of Duty action. So without a doubt we wanted to add a bunch of optional stuff as well,” he said.

Apple pulled back the curtain on a new era of Mac during a recent livestream event, where the tech company showed off a new slate of computers powered by its Apple Silicon processor.

These devices come equipped with Apple’s Silicon chip, which the company has called M1 for the sake of naming convention. (Apple’s other chips follow similar naming patterns, including the latest A14 Bionic that’s found in the new iPad Air and iPhone 12 lineup.) The M1 processor is an SoC (system on chip) developed and manufactured by Apple that does a number of beneficial things for the end-user, such as improving performance and battery life.

According to Apple, the chip is built with 5-nanometer processing technology and constructed of 16 billion transistors, making M1 efficient and powerful. The Macs that have this new M1 chip include the Mac Mini (starting at $699), Macbook Air (starting at $999), and Macbook Pro (starting at $1299). These devices are now available to order from Apple and will start shipping next week. The company confirmed all Macs will transition to M1 in the future.
