In order to receive the 2023 Service Medal, players must reset their ranks once they reach the aforementioned level.

Today’s update highlights changes that bring Boyard and Chalice maps to Official matchmaking in Wingman mode. While Blagai, Cascade, and Breach have been removed from official matchmaking.

As mentioned above, the 2023 service medal will be made available from January 1, 2023, 00:00 AM IST onwards. Further items from the IEM : Rio Major are now on sale, 75% off the original price.

How To Get The 2023 CSGO Service Medal

CSGO added a new Service Medal to the game for the year 2023. Just like every year before this, the New Service Medal will be available in the New Year from January 1st. The medal can be claimed by earning XP through playing the game.

Here’s how you can claim 2023 CSGO Service Medal

Whenever a player reaches Level 40 – Global General rank, their rank resets and they get the option to either earn or upgrade their service medal. The first time this will happen in 2023, the player will earn the 2023 Service Medal that is grey in colour.

csgo dust2

As players earn more XP, by playing different game modes such as Deathmatch, Competitive, Arms Race, Retakes etc their level will increase and each time they hit level 40, they have a chance to upgrade the Service medal. The first upgrade turns the grey into green, level 3 is blue, followed by purple, pink and finally red. The progression can be seen here. 

Surprisingly this year, there has been no winter update with Christmas lights, sweaters for chickens or even Snowballs in deathmatch to mess around with and one can only hope Valve are working on a big update with the Dreams and Nightmares case and that is why the Christmas update is missing.

How to Get a PS5 in Time for Christmas 2022?

Sony’s “next-gen” platform, the PS5, has been released for more than two years and can now be purchased with little difficulty.

But if you’re looking for a great price on a gaming system, you’ve come to the perfect place. Look no further; we’ve compiled a list of where you can currently buy a PlayStation 5 and where you should be looking.

Where to Buy a Playstation 5

The best places to buy a PS5 are currently PlayStation Direct, GameStop, and Walmart. The most important places to keep an eye on and why are outlined below.

GameStop

PS5 Disc Edition at GameStop – $499.99
PS5 Digital Edition at GameStop – $399.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at GameStop – $559.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Digital Edition) at GameStop – $459.99

GameStop has long been one of the most reliable PS5 restockers, and now it has even more of the systems available than before. In order to buy a PlayStation 5 from GameStop, you need to be a PowerUp Rewards Pro member, but supply is usually plentiful.

Discounted refurbished consoles are also available at GameStop. If you want to save $50 on a PS5 and don’t mind buying a used one, you might want to see if there are any units available at your local retailer.

If you want to know where the closest GameStop is, you may use our handy locator.

Online restocking at GameStop typically occurs during the week between 9 AM and 12 PM PT / 12 PM and 3 PM ET. The PS5 release date appears to be held back until the weekend.

When you place an order at GameStop online, you can expect to get your product within one to four business days.

PlayStation Direct

PS Direct US:

God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at PS Direct – $559.99

The PS5 is currently available through PlayStation Direct. To top it all off, the God of War Ragnarok combo will save you $10 on the year’s most anticipated sequel.

In addition, for a limited time only, Sony is providing free expedited delivery on PS5 bundles to help you get the ideal present to your loved ones in time for the holidays.

Sony typically restocks the aforementioned links once they’ve sold out during the week, usually between Tuesday and Friday. The typical hours of downtime are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT / 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET.

PlayStation Direct orders typically arrive within 5-6 business days.

Walmart

God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at Walmart – $559.00

God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Digital Edition) at Walmart – $459.00

In spite of Walmart’s poor track record with PS5 console deliveries in the past, the company has emerged as a solid alternative for customers looking to buy a new system now that the shortages seem to have subsided.

According to reports, Walmart is currently selling over a thousand PlayStation 5 consoles every day from their massive supply. In addition, customers can choose between expedited delivery and in-person pickup.

But you have to be careful while shopping on the Walmart website because there are also listings from resellers. To clarify, Walmart is not the source of any price increases, but if you find a standard console selling for $600 or more, it is not from them.

Walmart only restocks on weekdays, typically between 12 PM PT and 3 PM ET. Even though the store has sold consoles before they appeared in stock in the past, online orders now arrive in just 2 days for free.

Best Buy

PS5 Disc Edition at Best Buy – $499.99

PS5 Digital Edition at Best Buy – $399.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at Best Buy – $559.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Digital Edition) at Best Buy – $459.99
Horizon Forbidden West Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at Best Buy – $549.99
Horizon Forbidden West Bundle (PS5 Digital Edition) at Best Buy – $449.99
All PS5 Bundles at Best Buy

The PlayStation 5 is currently available for purchase at a number of different retailers, including Best Buy. And there’s a secret way to find out if the physical Best Buy store near you has PS5 stock, so you can walk out with a system today!

In addition, you can purchase the following items from Best Buy’s website to save yourself some time and effort. On the other hand, it is typically necessary for customers to pick up their new consoles in person:

Also, if you buy something from Best Buy between December 1 and December 31, you can return it at any time up until January 14.

It’s standard practice for Best Buy to refill items every weekday between 12 PM and 3 PM PT / 3 PM and 6 PM ET. The yearly membership cost of $200 is waived, however, there are stock drops every Monday that is only available to Totaltech members.

While certain things can be shipped the same day you order them, the PS5 appears to be in-store pickup only at this time.

Target

PS5 Disc Edition at Target – $499.99

PS5 Digital Edition at Target – $399.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at Target – $559.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Digital Edition) at Target – $459.99

The amazing thing about Target is that it has been selling PS5s in-store whenever they become available for months. Since fewer people know that Target is a good place to look for a PS5, there are more consoles available for the rest of us.

Amazon

PS5 Disc Edition at Amazon – $499.99

PS5 Digital Edition at Amazon – $399.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at Amazon – $559.99
God of War Ragnarok Bundle (PS5 Digital Edition) at Amazon – $459.00
Horizon Forbidden West Bundle (PS5 Disc Edition) at Amazon – $549.99
Horizon Forbidden West Bundle (PS5 Digital Edition) at Amazon – $449.99

Finally, thanks to its invite system, Amazon provides an easy opportunity to acquire a PS5, even if stock isn’t always available.

The major online store is widely anticipated to dump PS5 stock once more before Christmas, offering those who signed up a chance to receive a direct connection to buy. Those who sign up for this drop will not have to contend with scalpers, but not everyone who does so will receive an invite.

Is It Still Hard to Buy a PS5?

Even while there has been a marked increase in PS5 stock, the console is still not widely available to the point that customers can walk into a store and be assured of finding Sony’s newest machine for sale.

You may find PS5 consoles at a variety of stores right now, but we anticipate that availability will decrease once again by the year’s end.

The PS5 Digital Edition is currently far more difficult to obtain than the Disc Edition.

Will There Be More PS5s in 2023?

That’s right, we anticipate that the PlayStation 5 supply problem will be resolved by the end of 2023, making it simple for everybody who wants one to get one.

As of late, Jim Ryan has stated that Sony has fixed the PS5 supply problem for the foreseeable future, at least in Asia. We anticipate that it will take a little longer to properly remedy the shortages in the West, where demand for the console is far higher.

Are PS5 Bundles Worth It?

Bundles containing Sony’s PS5 and a bunch of other stuff are no longer a good deal as the console itself is becoming more widely available. This is not the case, however, if you plan on purchasing the extras included in the bundle together with your console.

Not only that, but if you buy one of 2022’s finest games in an official Sony package like the God of War PS5 Bundle, you can save ten dollars off the retail price.

FIFA 23 Centurions Promo: All you need to know

A few sources claim that the next brand-new FUT Centurions promo will appear in FIFA 23 at the beginning of the year. FIFA 23 has had constant promotions included in the game since its debut. We haven’t seen a promotion like the Centurions one in prior FIFA games.

All information is still speculative and comes from leaks because this is a brand-new commercial that hasn’t been included in former FIFA seasons. You will of course be kept up to date here as soon as there are any official remarks or posts from EA.

All you need to know about FIFA 23 Centurions Promo

If we look at what the term “centurion” means, we can already guess what this promotion may be. In ancient Rome, an officer who commanded 100 troops was known as a centurion. We now find it to be pretty realistic, and it strongly reminds us of the FUT Captains commercial from a year ago.

The FUT Shapeshifters were also issued by EA sooner than the previous year, however, the Out Of Position cards weren’t available until April 2022.

The Winter Wildcards, which take the place of the FUTMAS from past years, will come after the Team of the Tournament for the World Cup in Qatar. The Winter Wildcards, which also include Swaps, will stay in the packs for an extra week until December 30 while the TOTT will only be available from December 16 to December 23.

The FUT Centurions will then be displayed, and they should go online between January 6 and January 13, 2023. The presence of the FUT Headliners in FIFA 23 is still uncertain. Voting for Team of the Year is set to start on January 20. Perhaps it just contains players with 100 caps. in honor of the footballing greats who could call their quits after the World Cup.

However, we haven’t got any leaked players yet. We will update you as soon as we get some. Therefore, keep following us.

Destiny 2 Cat Error: How To Fix?

The CAT error number that appears on your screen simply means that the version of Destiny 2 you’re playing differs from the game’s original server number. This article will provide you with the simple fix to the CAT error code.

The error message will continuously appear on your screen if you do not upgrade the current version of the game. When you start the game, the server usually auto-updates to the most recent version, although this is not always the case.

How to fix CAT error code in Destiny 2?

The easiest fix for the error is to wait for the developers to come up with a solution. Sometimes they work on updates and roll out the same after a few days. Because of that reason, the error code might appear on your screen during that time.

Another method to fix the error is restart Destiny 2 and wait for the update to finish. The system itself will enter the correct CAT code. 

If the game does not launch after double-clicking, it is due to the game’s server being down for maintenance. Players can do nothing but wait until the servers are back online.

This was all you needed to know about the fix of the CAT code error in Destiny 2. If you want to read more such guides on Destiny 2, don’t forget to check our page.
