Provided your idea of a ‘good’ game extends beyond the annual twitch-shooter (often found on Twitch — funny that), sportsball or  battle royale releases, The Outer Worlds is the best game you’ll run into in 2019. We’re backdating that as well — noting else released this year comes close. 

If you’re curious about Activision’s take on battle royale, the Blackout mode found in Black Ops IV, but haven’t yet taken the financial plunge, you’re in luck. Call of Duty: Black Ops IV, or a significant portion of it, is free-to-play for the rest of April. And not just on a platform or two, on all of them. Whether you’re a glorious PC gamer, a PlayStation acolyte or a filthy Xbox One spawn-camper, you can drop into Blackout for free for the rest of the month. Terms and Conditions apply. 

Prior to last night’s announcement, there have only ever been two Halo games released on the PC. That’d be Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. Everything else after that was launched on Microsoft’s Xbox consoles exclusively. Until now. Microsoft has announced that PC gamers will be getting their twitchy trigger fingers on Halo: The Master Chief Collection shortly. What’s more, it’ll be available via Steam.
