Black Ops 4 Blackout Receives Standalone Release On PC, Cuts Price In Half

The latest installment in the annual Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 4, has been grabbing hold of the competitive multiplayer world since its release back in October. The multiplayer-only game took a move to rip out the single player campaign and was initially met with criticism upon its announcement. However, since launch day, Black Ops 4 has performed incredibly well, and it’s largely due to its dip into the battle royale realm with Blackout.

The massively popular first-person online shooter has done so well with its battle royale entry Activision has decided to sell Blackout, along with the rest of the traditional multiplayer modes, as a separate SKU for those wishing to opt out of the zombie content. The new pack known as “The Battle Edition” is available only for PC, but cuts the price of Black Ops 4 in half to $30, which can be found at Blizzard Entertainment’s digital store, Battle.net.

Since stepping into the BR genre, Call of Duty is living up to its reputation and delivering one of the best battle royale experiences available. Giving BR ready players the option of singularly purchasing Blackout could prove beneficial for the Call of Duty franchise, allowing the revered FPS series to, not only appeal to a wider number of online players, but directly compete with other paid battle royale titles, such as PlayersUnkown’s Battlegrounds and H1Z1.

Black Ops 4 is available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC, but the discounted Battle Edition is solely available for the PC at Battle.net.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
