How to claim a settlement in New World

When you first load into a New World server, you’ll realize that each of them will differ from each other when it comes to controlling the map. The Territory and Settlement system allows players to claim land and assert their dominance on the map. When a company, the clan equivalent of New World, claims a settlement, players will receive buffs or other minor bonuses which can help them while they’re out in the world. Settlements are pre-built landmarks, and they’ll be the first target of most companies. Once a settlement

Following Battlefield 2042’s initial delay from Oct. 22 to Nov. 19 earlier this month, Electronic Arts and Dice promised to keep fans updated on an open beta that would be running in the near future.

The Crew Series Might Return as New Game’s Existence Allegedly Leaks

A dataminer may have just discovered a new Crew game in development at Ubisoft. This would be the first since The Crew 2 was launched in 2018. The Crew was a racing game made by Ubisoft — not a particularly well-beloved one if memory serves, but it was liked enough to get a sequel. Now apparently Ubisoft has another entry in the works.

I think the game is worth picking up. However, everyone should be warned that this game deals with some dark stuff, including but not limited to bullying and suicide. In case you aren’t familiar, the game follows private detective Takayuki Yagami, who’s taken a new case in Ijincho, away from his home territory of Kamurocho. He’s asked by friends

G2 coach GrabbZ on Wunder: ‘He was one of the most consistent performers in scrims over the years’

G2 Esports didn’t have the best League of Legends season in 2021, which caused fans to point fingers at several of the team’s members. Top laner Wunder, in particular, was at the forefront of that criticism. But head coach GrabbZ defended his top laner on Twitter yesterday, mentioning that the claims of his lack of work ethic were a nonissue.  I thought it was mainly a small part of the french fanbase but it seems like overall delusions about Wunder are reaching an all time high. You all see one

Best external storage for PS5

While the PlayStation 5 has impressive graphics and functionality, it has limited storage space. Although the PS5 comes with a built-in one terabyte (TB) solid-state drive (SSD), the usable space is only about 667GB. Until recently, users had no choice except to use external drives to expand the storage on their PS5s.  Since Sony released its new firmware, users can now install NVMe SSDs into their consoles to expand their storage. However, this solution requires some technical knowledge because it involves opening up the PS5. For users who don’t want
