List Of PlayStation Plus games for October 2022

0

Subscription services for video games have grown in popularity in recent years. This subscription model has exploded in popularity in recent months. With the launch of the Xbox Game Pass, everyone saw its real potential and how it can be a cost-effective option for both players and developers. Therefore, Sony also launched PlayStation Plus, and here is the list of all the PlayStation Plus games for October 2022.

Owning the pass gives the gamers access to the game for a whole month, while most games aren’t so interesting but a few of them are actual AAA blockbusters that would have truly hurt our finances to own altogether. Given that most players can finish an average AAA story-driven title in a month at a relaxed pace.

Sony is notorious for charging a premium for exclusive titles, but a subscription-based approach would entice many more people to purchase a PlayStation. Their company is mainly based on game surcharges to offset the loss they receive from selling hardware.

  • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City The Definitive Edition
  • Assassin s Creed Odyssey
  • Assassin s Creed Chronicles: China

EA Leaked FIFA 23 World Cup Mode

0

While we are just a month away from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, EA has accidentally leaked the FIFA 23 World Cup Mode on PS5. It lets a user access the menu as well as the team list even before the official launch.

Several YouTubers have found out that the glitch is working just fine. However, it only works on PS5. If you play on a different platform, you won’t be able to manipulate it at all.

Numerous photographs also show that the mode would have 48 teams, which is 16 more than the 32 teams who qualified for the World Cup. This is the second time EA has mistakenly leaked FIFA 23 since Xbox gamers who pre-loaded the game were able to access the title a month sooner than expected.

This content is expected to be formally unveiled and added to the game in the lead-up to the Qatar World Cup, which kicks off on November 20, 2022. This leak, however, only revealed the men’s World Cup, but FIFA 23 is also expected to contain a 2023 Women’s World Cup mode.

CSGO Player YEKINDAR announces free agency, finishes Virtus.pro contract buyout

YEKINDAR on his Twitter confirmed he had bought himself “a while back” but wasn’t released from VP until now due to a change of ownership. Just a few weeks ago, Armenian investor Aram Karamanukyan was appointed the CEO of Virtus.pro after obtaining the organization’s trademark.

The Dota 2 lineup has rebranded as VP, however, the CSGO team is still called Outsiders as of the Europe RMR. In March and April of this past year, both ESL and PGL announced that groups related to the Russian government would be banned in retaliation to the invasion of Ukraine, prompting the VP roster to take up the name Outsiders.

YEKINDAR hasn’t competed under the Outsiders name or with that squad since May when he and Timur “buster” Tulepov were placed on the bench. Since the month of July, YEKINDAR has been participating in matches with the North American Team Liquid lineup in the capacity of an extended stand-in.

Since joining the team, YEKINDAR has played a significant role in Liquid’s current run of success in international competition. YEKINDAR’s contributions have been significant across the board. Liquid reached the IEM Cologne playoffs, BLAST Fall Finals with a top seed, ESL Pro League Season 16 grand finals, and Rio Major with a Legends berth with YEKINDAR filling in.

YEKINDAR is now in a position where a prospective move to Liquid on a full-time basis is possible, however, it is not fully assured. In his announcement on Twitter, he intimated that he will be “looking forward to announcing (his) future very soon” as he enters a new chapter.

YEKINDAR thanked his colleagues and said he was looking forward to announcing his future intentions soon. He might join Team Liquid’s active CSGO lineup after playing four consecutive tournaments with them.

Prior to the RMR event at the IEM Rio Major 2022, Team Liquid finished second in ESL Pro League Season 16 after a rugged group stage. The North American team didn’t have great hopes, yet it took the best-of-five grand final to the last map. 

Earlier, Steve “jokasteve” Perino – General Manager of Team Liquid, had revealed that they were trying to work on a “nice long-term” deal with YEKINDAR and will hopefully have something great soon.

Team Liquid’s lineup for the Rio Major is as follows:

  • Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski
  • Keith “NAF” Markovic
  • Joshua “oSee” Ohm
  • Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella
  • Damian “daps” Steele (Head Coach)

Dream accused of pedophilia

0

Not even 10 days following his face reveal Minecraft sensation Dream has been accused of pedophilia and grooming by a Twitter user.

On 3rd October 2022 Dream finally revealed his identity during his face reveal session upon which a person named Anastasia identified him as the pedophile who tried to groom her on Snapchat.

In a Tweet made by another user that has put forward Anatasia’s story, she writes how Dream was “flirting” with her knowing that she was a minor and it was during those times when he revealed his identity to her.

https://twitter.com/burner39413705/status/1580589023869153280

The tweet comes with screenshots of Anastasia talking to Dream via Snapchat and iMessage. In the texts exchanged, it can be seen that the pair engaged in romantic conversations, however, it cannot be confirmed that the person on the other end is Dream.

“None of it is appropriate for a ‘fan’ and influencer to be this close, especially since I was still 17 and in school and he knew that. It crosses the line when he’s sending me his huge house/inviting me. The worst of flirt that I recall was on Snapchat and obviously those delete.” she writes.

She has also mentioned that Dream engaged in relationships while being with his now ex-girlfriend, thus claiming that he cheats with his minor fans.

One thing to note, the community however does not resonate with Anastasia as the majority finds nothing wrong with these texts as none of them are inappropriate while there is a handful who believe them to be fake altogether.

“This just feels so petty… Like where in any of the messages does he supposedly “groom” or show any signs of sexual harassment? Also, *how* close were you to turning 18? Like a week? A month? Who cares bruh, 2 year age gap? You parents probably have an age gap 5x as big” writes one user.

Dream is yet to respond on the topic as we wait to see if any fresh evidence supporting Anastasia’s claim surfaces.

Sid Joshi reveals why S8UL has only one esports roster

0

S8UL founders have built the brand from scratch and their fans have observed this journey. This makes S8UL one of the most beloved content and esports organizations in the world. Despite being into esports, they only have one official esports roster and Sid Joshi, the manager of esports rosters, recently revealed the reason behind it.

Sid Joshi was doing regular streams while some of his fans questioned the reason behind S8UL being exclusively into BGMI esports without venturing into any other titles. Sid answered with a simple explanation on how S8UL remains in business my maintaining a single roster.

As mentioned before, S8UL is the brainchild of three dreamers namely MortaL, Thug and Goldy. MortaL started Team Soul and 8Bit Thug joined him to grow this organization. Sid stated that their entire journey started from zero.

Sid gave a clear explanation while explaining the dynamics of S8UL esports. According to him, a businessman has large amount of money as they tend to invest money to grow it multifold.

S8UL is also the same as the owners are “doing business and charity” as per his statement. Esports is also a business and hence, it was not feasible to hire multiple rosters for profitability.

S8UL Esports has cleverly hired their current BGMI roster which has a lot of fame in the community as well as the firepower to justify their name. Even though the game is banned, S8UL has not mentioned any plans of releasing their current roster or taking any action in accordance to BGMI ban.
