Try Out Black Ops 4’s Blackout Mode With Upcoming Free Trial

The Call of Duty franchise decided to test the battle royale waters with their latest installment, Black Ops 4. The game received a substantial amount of positive reviews for the trademark fast-rifling gunplay, unique map consisting of previous Black Ops locations and their bold move to strip away the single player campaign to focus solely on providing a solid multiplayer experience.

It seems, however, Activision isn’t happy with Blackout’s numbers recently and are coming up with new ways to bring more players on board, including offering Blackout mode as a separate purchase for a lower price.

Their most recent attempt to corral more players into Blackout will offer a week-long free trial for the singular battle royale mode. Starting on January 17, 2019 players can enjoy Blackout for free all the way up to January 24, 2019. This covers all platforms Black Ops 4 is currently available for — PS4, Xbox One and PC.

The Call of Duty franchise has enjoyed a massive player base over the previous decade, basking in the yearly success of the annual releases. Black Ops 4 marks the first time the series was stripped of its once riveting single player campaign mode, driving the series towards an online only future.

Now, with their own battle royale title on the market, Activision is looking for the same success that others have seen in the mega-popular genre. We’ll see if this free offer allows them to hit that mark.

Skyrim Paid Mods Take Another Hit from Bethesda

If you play video games, you’ve probably played Skyrim, Bethesda’s decade-old open-world RPG. It’s become a meme after endless rereleases. The company wants to sell paid, player-created mods again after not getting the message from players.

Bethesda tested selling Skyrim mods on Steam in 2015, generously giving modders 25% of the proceeds. After Steam’s 30% platform fee, Bethesda would receive 45%, the “current industry standard.”. After fan backlash, Bethesda removed paid mods, and Steam refunded all purchases.

In subsequent years, Bethesda’s Creation Club added user-created content to Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, requiring that it not violate lore. Bethesda could also release official Creation Club content on PlayStation.

The developer revealed Bethesda Game Studios Creations and a major update for the oldest RPG today. Players can still upload free mods, but creators can now apply for the Verified Creator Program. Certified modders can charge for their work. Since paid moderators no longer have lore-friendly restrictions, expect chaos.

This is already upsetting the community, and the line between official Creation Club content and moderators is blurring. The fact that paid mods disable PlayStation Trophies but not free Creation content is a disaster.

What do you think of Skyrim’s sorry state? Still playing? How’s the PlayStation Creation Club content?
