One of Destiny 2’s best raid teams took over 6 hours to finish Spire of the Stars raid lair

Destiny fans should be familiar with clan Redeem, the raiding team who has many Destiny records to its name. Clan Redeem was the first fireteam to clear Destiny’s Wrath of the Machine raid, and the first to finish the Prestige Leviathan raid in Destiny 2. Over the weekend, the team added a new record to its cabinet. Clan Redeem was the first to finish the Spire of the Stars raid lair, part of the Warmind expansion. By most accounts, this is Destiny’s hardest challenge ever, mostly because it requires a power level of 370, a full 30 levels above the game’s new soft cap of 340. This not only makes the grind to be raid-ready take a pretty long time, it also means that you may have to go in underpowered if you want to be the first to clear the raid. After checking the data, Bungie verified that clan Redeem’s victory did not make use of any exploits. It took the team six and a half hours, or 394 minutes to be exact. Combined, they died 598 times and got a total of 11,864 kills. Congr...

God of War gets comfortable at the top of the UK chart for the fourth week in a row

God of War has maintained its choke-hold on the UK charts, with four consecutive weeks at the top spot. The PlayStation 4 exclusive got off to a strong start last month, selling over 3.1 million units in just three days . Despite being a console exclusive, it’s managed to hang on at the top of the UK retail charts for the fourth week in a row.

Persona 5 Golden hits another milestone with 2.2 million units sold worldwide

Persona 5 Golden has hit another sales milestone with over 2.2 million copies sold to date. The title launched last April worldwide, with shipments topping 1.5 million units as it came to the west. Last December, Persona 5 had sold two million copies worldwide , making it the highest-selling game in the series so far.

The fact that there’s still a demand for it isn’t surprising, given that it’s possibly the best instalment in the series . The game received glowing reviews all around , and may help to bolster sales (or at least hype) for the upcoming Persona 5 dancing game . Last year, Atlus USA president and CEO, Naoto Hiraoka, acknowledged that the series was pretty niche not so long ago, but the strong sales are indicative of the “interest in [this genre] expanding.” The post Persona 5 Golden hits another milestone with 2.2 million units sold...

Fortnite Replay System guide: tips to watch those homicidal highlights like a pro

Fortnite now lets you watch and edit replays with its neat little video system. The new video editor is currently only available on the PC and consoles versions of Battle Royale (there’s no word yet on when replays might come to mobile or Save the World mode). Still, it’s a surprisingly robust tool, and with a little help from your old pals at VG247, you’ll soon be fiddling with filters, taking snazzy in-game snaps, and watching your finest survival moments in salivating slow-mo. Fortnite Replay System guide First up, you’ll need to actually find where replays are kept – don’t worry, matches are recorded and stored automatically to ensure there’s no mid-match faffing with video options.

From here, you’ll find all stored videos, sorted by date played, replay length and where your survivor ranked in that particular match.

It looks like Microsoft is making an Xbox controller for accessibility

Microsoft is working on a controller designed to help players with disabilities. The new controller, a promo image of which was dug up by Twitter user @h0x0d , doesn’t look like anything else in the company’s portfolio. Windows Central believes this an Xbox One controller specifically made for players with accessibility needs. The design is very unconventional, as you can see. The two big buttons on the face are the A and B buttons, which are presumably programmable. Though it’s hard to make out from the single image we have, there’s a number of inputs at the top which could also be programmable. They may also be used to connect other devices to the controller. The controller’s face features three LED lights, a dpad, and the Xbox navigational buttons (Xbox Button, Options, View). The left side has a USB port and what looks like a headphone jack. This is not the only controller Microsoft is reportedly working on. Earlier this year, leaked factory images showed an updated Xbox El...

Fortnite: where to follow the treasure map found in Salty Springs

Another week, another treasure hunt. This time you’re looking to follow a map found in Salty Springs. As part of the Fortnite Week 3 Challenges , you’re tasked to follow a treasure map found in Salty Springs . Follow it to a giant Battle Star and you’ll get 10 stars and shoot up a tier. Nice. You can of course go to Salty Springs and find the map pinned to a wall, decipher the scrawled clues and track down the location. But that’s the long-winded way. Instead, we recommend following this handy map, which shows the Battle Star is on the east side of the map, to the left of the biggest tree at the race track . The location is J7. All you have to do is drop out the Battle Bus and glide down to its location to grab it. Salute to Gaming Soldiers for the map. And that’s it! You can now get on with the rest of the challenges. Or you could camp that spot and wait for other players to land and fill them full of bullets while they swing their axes wildly. There’s a new patch due today f...
