Marvel’s Avengers Patch Notes Reveal What’s Changed For The Upcoming Beta
The next open beta for Marvel’s Avengers is coming up this weekend, starting August 21 on all platforms, and there will be a series of updates and improvements this time around.
The new open beta will include updates 1.4.0 1.5.0 on PS4 and Xbox One, developer Crystal Dynamics announced in a blog post. The updates include fixes for crash scenarios and improvements for the vaulting mechanics. There is also now an option in the settings to adjust the camera shake sensitivity, while the amount of motion blur has been decreased when you’re sprinting and flying.
The 1.5.0 update specifically fixes a problem that could cause players to lose gear, while even more crash fixes are included with the latest patch. You can see the full patch notes for 1.4.0 and 1.5.0 below. The PC patch notes will be announced later.
Microsoft Kinda Doesn’t Care If You Buy An Xbox Series X
In discussions of next-gen consoles, I often see the questions pop up: “Why would I get an Xbox Series X if I have a good PC and Game Pass?” or “I’m fine with the Xbox One X, why would I jump to a Series X?” Well yeah, why would you? Xbox, as a brand, kind of doesn’t care if that Game Pass subscriber with a beefy PC buys the next console–that person is already in the Xbox ecosystem. And if you’re cool with your One X, you’re still buying games and likely subscribing to Xbox Live and/or Game Pass services as well.
Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has made this approach quite clear over the past few years. And uh, he most recently reiterated it on Animal Talking, the Animal Crossing: New Horizon talk show hosted by Gary Whitta.
On the show, Spencer said, “‘How many consoles do I sell versus how many consoles does another company sell; Sony, or Nintendo, or other companies back in the day?’ That’s not our approach. If that was our approach, we wouldn’t put our games on PC. We wouldn’t put our games on Xbox One. We wouldn’t do xCloud and allow people to play games on their phones.”
Destiny 2 PSA: Get Whisper Of The Worm And Outbreak Perfected Now, Before They’re Gone
A bunch of content is leaving Destiny 2 in November with the release of the Beyond Light expansion, making this your last chance to play a bunch of content and earn specific rewards, at least for a while. Among those rewards are a couple of the best guns in the game: Whisper of the Worm and Outbreak Perfected. Both require you to complete special missions to unlock them, and both of those missions will soon be shelved.
We’ve known that Bungie is cycling out some Destiny 2 content for a while now, and we’ve had some of the specifics ever since the announcement of the Beyond Light expansion. In its latest This Week at Bungie blog post, however, the developer made a bunch of smaller details a little clearer. Bungie explained that a bunch of activities will be going into the “Destiny Content Vault” to remove them from the game, and with those activities, their specific rewards will go too.
Four planetary destinations are headed into the vault in November: Io, Titan, Mars, and Mercury, as well as the Leviathan location, which is home to several raids. Anything associated with those places is going into the vault as well. Since The Whisper, the mission you need to complete to earn the phenomenal Exotic sniper rifle Whisper of the Worm, is found on Io, it’s going into the vault, too, and Bungie says there won’t be a new, separate way to earn the gun in the meantime.
Hitman 3 On Epic Games Store, Call Of Duty Cold War Confirmed, & PS5 DualSense Uses | Save State
Hitman 3 developer IO Interactive has revealed that the game will be a timed Epic Games Store exclusive when it launches next year, Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War reveal is set for next week, and PS5 devs share details on how they’re using the new DualSense controller.An Arena-Sized Zoom Call: Here’s What WWE’s Thunderdome Looks Like
While it’ll premiere on Smackdown tomorrow night, the first look inside WWE’s Thunderdome staging at Orlando’s Amway Center has arrived. The company did a test-run of their new arena setup, at which Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin was in attendance. Screenshots of the video from the event show a very different environment than that of the Performance Center that has housed Raw, Smackdown, and WWE’s various pay-per-view events during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Amway Center has been filled up with a variety of video screens, including those that will show fans who are virtually attending the event. While it remains to be seen how the arena will look in motion, as virtual fans theoretically jump up and down screaming about how much they love Asuka, the images are impressive.

Firstly, WWE is wisely keeping the arena looking very busy–there are lights, video screens, and lasers everywhere. One of the biggest issues with the shows produced at the Performance Center is that it essentially looked like Raw and Smackdown were happening in a small dark room–which they were. This new configuration looks big and full of the kind of spectacle WWE is known for.
Marvel: Who Is Spider-Woman?
Phase 4 of the MCU may be getting a slower start than anticipated after movies like Black Widow and Eternals as well as shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier were delayed thanks to COVID-19 related shutdowns, but that doesn’t mean every plan has hit pause. In fact, it would seem the behind-the-scenes work at Marvel is still full-steam-ahead with the recent announcement that Olivia Wilde will be joining the MCU to direct a movie featuring a new-to-live-action character in the Spider-Man family: Spider-Woman.
This, of course, begs the question: Who is Spider-Woman? And perhaps more importantly, what could her introduction mean for the MCU?
Tosh.0 Is Canceled, Season 12 To Be Its Last
Comedy Central has canceled internet comedy talk show Tosh.0 ahead of its Season 12 premiere, as part of the cable channel’s recent shift toward animated shows, the company has announced.
Despite said focus on animation going forward, the Tosh cancellation still comes as a surprise, since Comedy Central just renewed the show for four more seasons in January this year. Variety cites “an individual with knowledge of the situation” who says ViacomCBS, Comedy Central’s parent company (note: and GameSpot’s), and series host Daniel Tosh are shopping the show around to other platforms. Whether anyone picks it up will depend on whether they think viewers still have the attention span for mean-spirited meme commentary in this day and age.
Tosh.0 launched in 2009 and will hit 300 episodes during its twelfth and currently final season. During each episode, Tosh, a comedian, aims his biting wit against memes, viral videos, and other social media trends. The show often features flavor-of-the-week internet personalities as guests.
