Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone will offer double XP this weekend, Activision has confirmed. In addition to standard double XP for progression, there will be double weapon XP and double tier progression for the game’s battle pass. This also coincides with a free weekend for Modern Warfare’s multiplayer mode.
The double XP bonuses apply to multiplayer, Spec Ops, and Warzone. The double XP bonus is now live and runs through April 6 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. You are probably staying at home more than ever these days, so this is a nice treat for Call of Duty fans looking to level up faster.
The double XP comes at a key time, as Modern Warfare’s Season 2 is entering its final full week. As announced previously, the Season 2 Battle Pass ends on April 7, so now is your last chance to reach tier 100 to unlock all the extras before Season 3 starts on April 8. Alternatively, you can spend real money to unlock the items right away.
In other Call of Duty news, Activision has launched Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered on PS4. It will include a remastered version of the campaign, but no multiplayer, as leaks previously suggested; it’s coming to Xbox One and PC at the end of April due to an exclusivity arrangement with Sony. The game has reportedly been finished and ready to go for some time already, with Activision just waiting for the right time to release it.

Call Of Duty: Warzone – 9 Tips To Win In Battle Royale
Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play battle royale game for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Warzone can be installed both as an update to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or as a free, standalone game for players who don’t own Modern Warfare and aren’t interested in purchasing it. The battle royale game is a huge download size even if you don’t have Modern Warfare, but don’t worry–that just gives you some time to check out our list of Warzone tips while it’s installing.
Find our quick how-to guide for installing Call of Duty: Warzone, and learn more about how Warzone and Modern Warfare’s unified progression works, below.
How To Download Warzone Without Modern Warfare
If you want to play Call of Duty: Warzone but don’t own and aren’t planning on purchasing Modern Warfare, you can expect an 83-101 GB download size, according to the official Activision blog. It’s available as a standalone battle royale game on all available platforms, meaning PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and can be downloaded from associated first-party stores. Check out the download links below.
Download on PS4
Download on Xbox One
Download on PC
How To Download Warzone If You Own Modern Warfare
If you already own Modern Warfare and want to play Warzone, the update should start automatically upon launching the game. Depending on your platform, it’s an 18-22 GB update. If the update doesn’t automatically install, or you encounter other issues, try restarting your system. You’ll see that Warzone has replaced, or “unlocked,” the Classified panel in the main menu.
How Unified Progression Works In Warzone And Modern Warfare
In addition to being cross-play, Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare feature a unified or shared progression system, meaning content earned across either game will transfer to the other, no matter which order you play them in. That means if you own Modern Warfare already and decide to hop into Warzone, your Operators, Battle Pass items, and other unlocks will be accessible in Warzone. If you don’t own Modern Warfare and install Warzone as a standalone, then decide to pick up Modern Warfare at a later date, any progress you make in Warzone will carry over as well.
When Did Call Of Duty: Warzone Launch?
After a series of series of leaks and rumors, a mysterious countdown on Modern Warfare’s main menu screen, and an official tease on social media, Call of Duty: Warzone officially launched the morning of March 10, 2020. It became available to download first at 8 AM PT for Modern Warfare players, then at noon PT for players looking to install the standalone version.

Do you own Fallout 76 on PC already but wish you could play the game through Steam? You’ll be able to do so starting on April 14, the same day that the new Wastelanders expansion launches.
Anyone who purchases Fallout 76 through Bethesda’s official website before April 13 and links their Steam and Bethesda accounts will get the game for free on Steam. Atoms and Fallout 1st memberships will not transfer between the platforms, but any items purchased through the shop will be available across both Bethesda.net and Steam.
This offer only applies to the PC version. Xbox One and PS4 players will have to purchase the Steam version separately in order to access it, and the game doesn’t support cross-platform play.
From April 14-28, anyone who purchases the game from Steam will also receive the Fallout Classic Collection with the original two games and Fallout Tactics for free. This applies to those who claim the free Steam version via their Bethesda.net account, as well.
The Wastelanders expansion is free to all players, and it was delayed slightly from its original April 7 release date because of COVID-19. The expansion will add much-requested NPC humans. It contains a new quest in the Appalachian Mountains, and two events called Riding Shotgun and Radiation Rumble will go live at the same time it launches. These aren’t designed for newcomers, so you’ll want to gear up and increase your level before attempting them.
Bethesda previously said it would keep Fallout 76 off Steam in order to maintain a “direct relationship” with players. However, the vast majority of other Bethesda games are on the platform already.
Resident Evil 3 Remake is out, offering another dose of zombie survival-horror in the style of last year’s Resident Evil 2 Remake. This time the focus turns to Nemesis, the ever-present danger stalking the streets of Raccoon City to take down surviving STARS officers. The original Resident Evil 3 was not a long game by today’s standards–based on an average playthrough, even the Resident Evil 2 Remake isn’t that much longer. So how long can you expect to be on the run from Nemesis this time around?
How Long To Beat Resident Evil 3?
6 hours (standard run)
11 hours (completionist run)
A standard critical path run through RE3 will take you about six hours, while taking your time to gather all the collectibles will last roughly 11-plus hours. That means getting all of the weapon upgrades and secrets, opening all of the locks, and finding all of the bobbleheads.
Resident Evil 3 ships alongside Resident Evil Resistance, a standalone multiplayer mode that pits four survivors against one mastermind controlling the output of zombie hordes. If you’re planning to check out Resident Evil 3, read our story recap for everything you might need to remember before venturing into the world of survival-horror. Plus make sure your rig is up to the task by checking out the PC system requirements. Don’t forget to also read our review of Resident Evil 3, see what other critics are saying, and hit up our Resident Evil 3 guide for a full walkthrough, puzzle solutions, and other gameplay tips.

Streamers, influencers, and content creators have all had the chance to check out Riot Games’ new shooter, Valorantand they’re set to reveal their gameplay and thoughts on Friday, April 3. While each streamer is likely to be broadcasting their own gameplay from an event Riot hosted last weekend, Twitch itself will also be hosting a Twitch Rivals stream to show off a few matches, and maybe even give away beta access to a few lucky viewers.
During last weekend’s event, a few streamers broke off into teams to compete against each other. The matches from the event will be streamed live on the Twitch Rivals channel throughout the day on April 3. It’s not exactly a traditional Rivals tournament, but it is a nice way to see some organized Valorant matches and get to watch a few of your favorite content creators compete.

Valorant: How Riot finally made something new
Along with the streamers featured in the competition, all of the other Twitch streamers who were at Riot’s event (you can find the full list on the Twitch Rivals website) will have a chance to give viewers access to the upcoming Valorant closed beta through Twitch drops. These drops are random, and you’ll need your Riot account to be connected with your Twitch account in order to be eligible. These drops will be live on April 3, then disappear until they go live again when the beta is actually released on April 7.
The Twitch Rivals tournament will begin at 1 p.m. EDT starting with teams from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa followed by matches from the four North American teams which are set to begin at 3 p.m. EDT.

As the US and other countries mobilize to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, more and more people are finding themselves stuck at home these days, effectively ending normal social interactions with friends and loved ones unless they live with you. Because of this, online games and platforms like Netflix Party have become crucial links to friends and family, and one 2015 PC game is even helping people have virtual board game nights with friends they can’t meet with in person.
Tabletop Simulator has been around for years, but it feels even more needed right now. The indie game from developer Berserk Games allows you to play digital versions of board games in a player-driven physics sandbox, with classics like chess, poker, and dominoes included in the base version. You can also create your own digital board games with Tabletop Simulator, which lets you import custom assets, automate games with scripting, and more. And players have done just that, with thousands of fan-created board games and card games available in the Steam Tabletop Simulator workshop that you can play for free.
Berserk Games has also partnered with some board game publishers to create official DLC for Tabletop Simulator, and there are currently 41 games available as DLC, including some of our all-time favorites like Blood Rage, Scythe, and Wingspan.
I gave Tabletop Simulator a try for the first time recently and was surprised by how well it replicated the feeling of playing a board game. Naturally, some fan-made creations will run better than others, and if you’re looking for a more niche game, it may not be as polished. My group tried out a few different games, and while connectivity issues occasionally booted one of us out of the game, we had a great time playing some of our favorite games in this medium. The always-popular Catan was easy to pick up and start playing, and we ran an entire game of Root, a complex asymmetrical war game, with hardly any issues. It felt almost like we were all sitting around the same table as usual, and it was honestly the happiest I’ve felt since quarantine began.
If you check out the recent Steam reviews for Tabletop Simulator, it’s pretty clear I’m not the only one turning to this game as a source of entertainment and socializing during the times of coronavirus. “In these times of social distancing, Tabletop Simulator has saved our weekly gaming group,” wrote one recent reviewer. “I’m thankful to be able to have board game nights with my friends at a time like this,” wrote another.
While the game is available directly on Steam, some fantastic deals on both the game and its four-pack are available once again at Fanatical, which sells Steam keys. Normally sold for $20, the game by itself is on sale for $10. Even better: the four-pack, which gets you four Tabletop Simulator Steam codes to share with friends, is on sale for $30–it normally sells for $60. After purchasing, you’ll get Steam keys you can redeem immediately.
Tabletop Simulator deals:
Tabletop Simulator offers a pretty good tutorial the first time you boot up the game, but I’d also recommend starting with a game you’re familiar with so you can get accustomed to the controls without fretting over the rules.
If you’re looking for board game recommendations, we recently rounded up the best board games to play in 2020, including staff favorites like Gloomhaven, Pandemic Legacy, Ticket to Ride, and Patchwork. Many of the games on our list have official digital versions or Tabletop Simulator DLC, but it’s also worth searching for fan-made versions in Tabletop Simulator if you’re looking for something new to try.

Half-Life: Alyx has 41 achievements you can get just by reaching certain key points in the game, completing routine tasks, or by pulling off something special. There are even a couple secret ones that are harder to get, including a few we don’t quite know the solution for yet.
Here we’ll break down all 41 Half-Life: Alyx achievements (well, most of them), their official descriptions on Steam, and how to get them. We’ve broken this guide down into sections: story achievements you are guaranteed to complete just by playing through the game, chapter-exclusive achievements that require you to complete a certain action in that section, easy achievements you can get pretty naturally but are still possible to miss, and special achievements that may require you to pull off something very specific and difficult to do by accident.
Easy Achievements
Chapter-Exclusive Achievements
Chapter 1 – Entanglement
Chapter 7 – Jeff
Special Achievements
Story Achievements (Potential Spoilers)
We’ve tried to keep this guide as spoiler-free as possible, but if you’re afraid of even seeing the names of chapters and implications about the ending from the official Steam achievement descriptions, then stay far away! We’ve put story achievements, which allude to end-game chapters, at the very end of this guide so it’s easy to skip.
For more Half-Life, check out our Half-Life: Alyx review, weapons guide, puzzle guide, accessibility options guide (including how to play the game seated), and our roundup of the best Half-Life Easter eggs we’ve found so far. If you were wondering how many chapters are in Half-Life: Alyx, we have that covered too.
Easy Achievements
You can get most of these achievements by playing the game pretty naturally, but some are still possible to overlook. They are not chapter-exclusive, but a few things (like Xen grenades or tripmines) only make appearances in certain chapters.
Find the name of the achievement, the official Steam description, and our tips below.
Up in Arms
Install your first pistol upgrade.
Tips: Use a Combine fabricator to upgrade your pistol using resin you collect around the world. Learn how to hack into a Combine fabricator in our weapons guide and our puzzle guide.
Dead Giveaway
Loot a corpse.
Tips: Corpses can sometimes have useful items on them like ammo, grenades, and healing syringes.
Safe Trip
Use the multitool to hack a tripmine.
Tips: You don’t have to explode a tripmine to get past them. Use Alyx’s multitool to disarm them via a hacking puzzle. Tripmines make their first appearance in Chapter 6 – Arms Race.
Xen Lootism
Snatch a Xen grenade from its resting place.
Tips: Xen grenades are held tightly in place by strange, Xen tree-like creatures. If you’re quick enough, you can snatch it out of its grasp. Use it like a regular grenade or store in your wrist pockets for later. You will first encounter these in Chapter 5 – The Northern Star, but they appear in a few other parts of the game too.
Chapter-Exclusive Achievements
These are achievements you can get by doing something exclusive to a specific chapter. Descriptions are taken from Steam, with our own advice added.
Chapter 1 – Entanglement
Good Grub
Feed the snark.
Tips: In Chapter 1 – Entanglement, at Alyx’s base in the very beginning, pick up the can next to the Snark in the jar on Alyx’s table and sprinkle in some food.
On a Roll
Interact with the playground somehow.
Tips: In Chapter 1 – Entanglement, before reaching Russell’s lab, interact with the playground.
Little Slugger
Represent yourself with a specific prop on Russell’s map.
Tips: In Chapter 1 – Entanglement, pick up the little Scout figurine in Russell’s lab and use it as a marker on his map when prompted.
Eye of the Geiger
Measure Russell with the Geiger counter.
Tip: Pick up the yellow Geiger counter in Russell’s lab and hold it up near his face.
Mag-Snagger
Catch Russell’s ammo magazine before it hits the ground.
Tips: In Chapter 1 – Entanglement, when Russell throws you the gun out the window, catch the magazine he throws. This can be done using the gravity gloves to pull it toward you.
Chapter 7 – Jeff
Near-Jeff Experience
Stay close to Jeff for 10 seconds (but not too close).
Tips: In Chapter 7 – Jeff, try to distract Jeff with a loud noise, then hover around him for 10 seconds. Being close to him long enough without dying will get you this achievement.
Crustacean Frustration
Kill the annoying headcrab before it breaks everything.
Tip: In Chapter 7 – Jeff, after you exit the lift, you’ll come to a narrow corridor with chainlink fences on either side. A headcrab will pop out from the top left corner and knock over a bunch of stuff, which will alert Jeff to your position. Kill the headcrab before that happens.
Hold Your Liquor
Catch a bottle falling out of a cupboard before it breaks and alerts Jeff.
Tips: In Chapter 7 – Jeff, there is a side room with shelves and cupboards, full of loot. When you open one, a bottle will fall out–catch it before it hits the ground.
Team Spirit
Bring Russell a bottle of vodka.
Tips: In Chapter 7 – Jeff, Russell will reminiscence about how he misses vodka and ask you to bring him a bottle back. You can store one in your wrist pockets. Carry it that way through the whole level until he thanks you for your efforts.
Sound Strategy
Escape the distillery without killing Jeff
Tips: At the very end of Chapter 7 – Jeff, he’ll run towards the control panel that you need to interact with to progress since it makes noise. The room behind that control panel has a cargo container that you can lock, so toss a bottle in there to get him to go inside, then quickly pull the lever on the left side of the door and engage the lock.
Flat Note
Kill Jeff.
Tips: At the very end of Chapter 7 – Jeff, you also have the option to kill Jeff when you lock him in the cargo container, which–as it turns out–is a trash compactor. Just hit the button below the lever that closes the door.
Special Achievements
These achievements are a bit easier to miss or require you to do something special in the game. Like some of the achievements listed above, they are not chapter-exclusive, but some of the things you need to complete them (fighting a Combine Heavy) only appear in certain chapters.
Mazel Tov
Pick up and smash 50 glass bottles.
Tips: This is especially easy to do in Chapter 7 – Jeff, which is set in a distillery. You’ll be smashing a lot of bottles.
Smash and Grab
Break open a supply crate with your hands.
Tips: Supply crates are those light tan boxes with the yellow “supply” label on the front, recognizable from earlier Half-Life games. They can be shot open from a distance, but you can also smash one against something hard with your hands.
Pro-Pain
Kill a grunt by shooting their gas tank.
Tips: If you spot a Combine enemy with a gas tank strapped to their back… shoot it.
Freshly Squeezed
Test your grip on a headcrab heart.
Indirect Approach
Kill a Combine Heavy while their shield is up.
Combine Harvester
Use the gravity gloves to loot an item off a living Combine soldier.
Tips: Combine will carry ammo, grenades, and sometimes healing syringes, and you can grab them off of them mid-fight using the gravity gloves.
Deadliest Catch
Use the gravity gloves to intercept an incoming enemy grenade in mid-flight.
Tips: Combine will throw grenades at you to blow you out of cover. Resist by catching the glowing red explosive mid-air or wherever it lands and tossing it back, but be quick about it.
Gnome Vault of My Own
Bring a garden gnome with you to the Vault.
Tip: Our initial theory was to get this you’d have to carry Russell’s gnome fridge magnet, which you will find on the fridge in his lab in Chapter 1, all the way to the end of the game. But it turns out Gnome Chompski himself makes an appearance, as spotted by YouTube user SirLicksBatterys, behind the white couch in Russell’s gravity gloves testing arena. We haven’t verified this achievement for ourselves, but if it uses the same logic as Half-Life 2: Episode 2’s Little Rocket Man achievement, you’ll probably have to carry this guy with you throughout the entire game.

TaleWorlds Entertainment has released another patch for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, which is now out via Steam Early Access. This patch follows on the heels of a day one update and day two patch, the latter of which addresses a pesky bug that was affecting the Rival Gangs quest.
Like the March 31 patch, the April 1 patch for Bannerlord addresses a bunch of bugs that have been causing the game to crash. The patch doesn’t focus on any one quest though–instead it addresses several problems associated with both Bannerlord’s single-player campaign and multiplayer modes. The full patch notes are listed below.
“We know that many of you are experiencing issues that are preventing you from enjoying the game right now, for which we are very sorry,” TaleWorld wrote in a blog post. “With the help of you, our community, we are finding and fixing these issues and pushing updates out as soon as we can. Unfortunately, as was the case with [the March 31] patch, this [April 1 patch] may result in previous save files becoming unplayable for some people. We will always try to ensure that your save game remains compatible with each update, however, sometimes this will not be possible.”
Despite the pressing need for further bug fixes, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is Steam’s biggest release of 2020. Within its first day, the medieval action RPG managed enough sales to propel it into the top 10 games on Steam, only trailing behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2.

CD Projekt Red has released a shiny new Cyberpunk 2077 wallpaper featuring protagonist V chilling on the Night City metro, as a riot unfolds on the station outside. Aside from giving fans a tantalizing taste of a game that’s still almost six months out from release, the poster is full of tiny world-building details just waiting to be discovered in high resolution.
The new wallpaper gives us a better look at the metro, the city-wide transport system that players will be able to use to travel around the city’s districts.
The main details of the picture are immediately obvious–V, sitting nonchalantly with his gun out, a sleepy businessman beside him. Behind him, the people of Night City clash with heavily armored Arasaka employees. As one fan on Reddit pointed out, the helmets on the police look like a callback to the Nilfgaardians of CD Projekt Red’s Witcher series.
The smaller details require zooming in to see–the faint bloody footprints leading from the body to V’s metro seat, the detailed metro map and numerous stickers, slogans and graffiti. One by the businessman’s knee references Pulp Fiction, saying, “Does he look like a b****?”
Now all we need is the female V version of this image. Please, CDPR?
Cyberpunk 2077 is due out on September 17, 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 remake went above and beyond last year, becoming not only one of the best games of 2019 but a major success, outselling the original game it’s based on in under a year. It’s not surprising Capcom would follow it up with a Resident Evil 3 remake while the iron is hot. What is surprising, however, is that it released just over a year after its predecessor. Resident Evil 3 is out today, April 3, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. That’s right–you can head back to Raccoon City right now.
The game has the same over-the-shoulder third-person perspective as Resident Evil 2 rather than first-person scares in the vein of Resident Evil 7. Capcom showed off the first official gameplay for Resident Evil 3 Remake in a Twitch stream. For more on our impressions, check out GameSpot’s Resident Evil 3 review.
Resident Evil 3 also comes bundled with Resident Evil Resistance, an asymmetrical 4 vs. 1 online co-op game in which one player controls the Mastermind, setting traps and hunting down a group of Survivors as the other players race against the clock to escape.
If you’re itching to get your copy or just want to know your options, check out Resident Evil 3’s two editions along with some launch day deals on the game below.
Resident Evil 3 pre-order bonus
If you pre-ordered either version of Resident Evil 3 ahead of its April release date, you received an exclusive Classic Costume Pack that includes Jill’s original outfit and Carlos’ original hairstyle. Most retailers aren’t offering that bonus at launch, unfortunately.
Best Buy, however, does have an exclusive bonus of its own: a metal steelbook case featuring Resident Evil 3 artwork on the exterior and interior. This comes with any purchase of the physical standard edition for PS4 or Xbox One
Buy Resident Evil 3 standard edition
The standard edition of Resident Evil 3 comes with the base game and Resident Evil Resistance. The Resident Evil 3 standard edition is selling for $60. You can order it now at the below retailers or directly from the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Steam. However, we’ve also rounded up a few deals on the game below.
Launch day deals on Resident Evil 3
Xbox One (digital): $55 with code EMCDHDE23
Xbox One (physical): $50 (part of Target’s B2G1 free offer)
PC: $46.79
Buy Resident Evil 3 Collector’s edition
The Resident Evil 3 Collector’s edition is sold exclusively at GameStop in North America. The Collector’s edition includes a physical copy of Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil Resistance, any pre-order bonuses, a Jill Valentine statuette (similar to the Leon figure offered for Resident Evil 2), a hardcover art book, a double-sided poster featuring a map of Raccoon City, and a digital Resident Evil 3 soundtrack. It retails for $180 USD at GameStop. UK fans can pre-order the collector’s edition at retailer GAME for £215.
The Resident Evil 3 Collector’s edition seems to be a hot item for fans; GameStop sold out not long after the listings went live. Both the PS4 and Xbox One versions are sold out, but keep checking back, as it could come back into stock sporadically.
