UPDATE 14TH NOVEMBER: New hero Ashe is now live on all platforms - PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Along with Ashe come balance changes and bug fixes. Roadhog has had a fair bit of work with the intention of making his abilities more consistent, particularly his hook; and Reaper, Mercy and Symmetra have all been slightly buffed. Full Overwatch patch notes are on the official forum.

ORIGINAL STORY 6TH NOVEMBER: New Overwatch hero Ashe is available to try on the PC Public Test Region now. To use the PTR, load your Blizzard/Battle.net launcher and select, from the Region/Account dropdown above Overwatch's Play button, the Public Test Region.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds comes out on PlayStation 4 in December - one year after it hit Xbox One as a timed console exclusive.

Video game analyst Daniel Ahmad took to ResetEra to say the battle royale game was coming to Sony's console next month, and Eurogamer understands this to be true.

PUBG's arrival on PS4 doesn't come as a huge surprise, after it was leaked by the Korean ratings board and, more recently, Sony's servers spat out PUBG images (as spotted by a user on PSNProfiles).

It's the latest in a long line of complaints about Fallout 76's jankiness, but following a Reddit post claiming the beta can be hacked on PC, Bethesda has now admitted some of the accusations are valid and require fixes to prevent cheating.

The trouble began when Reddit user teetharejustdone posted an extensive list of potential issues with Fallout 76 on the Fallout 76 subreddit. Claims ranged from a lack of server checks to verify models and file integrity, to unencrypted client to client communication (allowing players to view other user's in-game stats and even their IP addresses). And indeed, following the recent discovery Fallout 76 can be modded on the player-side, creations have appeared on Nexus Mods which give players an unfair advantage.

In a statement to Eurogamer, Bethesda confirmed some (but not all) of these concerns are correct.

Humble Bundle is running a week-long sale on all things Warhammer, with up to 90% off a variety of Games Workshop titles.

The steepest discount is on strategy release Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch, down to 1.89, but you can get recent Left-4-Dead-ish release Vermintide 2 for 11.49, Total War: Warhammer 2 at 33% off (a steal at 26.79) and the complete Dawn of War pack for 24.99, which is a pretty good deal considering you get 26 bits of digital content with it.

The sale also includes various less-heralded Warhammer releases like Kill Team and Sanctus reach, the latter alongside its DLC which is also discounted for both Total War: Warhammers.

When World of Warcraft: Classic launches next summer, the only raids available will be Onyxia and Molten Core. It will be, in other words, as World of Warcraft was circa March 2005.

It's notable because although World of Warcraft: Classic is built on the foundation of patch 1.12 from August 2006, it will actually take many months for WOW Classic to reach a similar point-in-time content-wise.

There will be "waves" of content, Blizzard said in a WOW Classic panel (available to watch if you're a Virtual Ticket owner) at BlizzCon 2018. Here's how it looks currently:

Log on to Hearthstone tomorrow and you'll be gifted half a dozen free packs from the game's most recent expansion, The Boomsday Project.

A new set of quests will also award up to 500 gold for a further five card packs.

The giveaways are in celebration of Hearthstone hitting 100 million players, a milestone announced by Blizzard last night. That's not 100 million active players, mind, although the game is clearly still very popular.

A top FIFA pro has been banned from competitive play after he was caught using a homophobic slur in a video.

Tassal "Tass" Rushan, a FIFA European Champion from London who plays for well-known esports organisation Faze Clan, published a video to YouTube in which he called a virtual FIFA Ultimate Team card a "fag".

Rushan was upset at repeatedly packing Mat as Vecino, a Uruguayan midfielder who plays for Italian club Inter Milan, from Player Picks packs.

Switching from a mechanical drive to a solid state drive is one of the most important upgrades you can make to your gaming PC - and with the release of new drives earlier this year and flash storage prices finally starting to drop significantly, now is the perfect time to pick up a new SSD.

Before we get into the specific models we recommend, we should probably answer a simple question: why are SSDs worth their higher price per gigabyte over traditional hard disk drives?

There are a few good reasons, but the most important for gamers is that with an SSD, game load times go way down. In fact, in our extensive testing of five different drives, we found that upgrading to an SSD - even a budget model - reduced game load times by up to 60 per cent compared to even modern, high-performance HDDs. For games that require frequent loading for new areas, like Skyrim and Fallout 4, or titles with very long initial load times, like Grand Theft Auto 5, using an SSD saves you a ton of time and prevents interruption to the flow of the game. If you're noticing hitching - minute stutters that often occur when entering a new location - this problem could also be solved by upgrading to a faster storage solution.

Halloween may be over, but apparently the zombies didn't get the memo, as Fortnite's Cube Monsters will continue to amble around the island for some time to come.

The patch notes for today's update reveal the controversial ghouls are due to shift over to a new limited time mode (LTM) called "Team Terror", which essentially seems to merge ideas from Fortnite's team modes with its Fortnitemares mechanics. Two groups of 32 players must eliminate each other as monster spawners appear across the map every time the storm closes into a new circle. There's increased ammo to help with the undead mobs, so you can mow down as many zombies as you like.

For players who enjoyed the Halloween PVE version of Fortnite, this seems like an ideal way to give fans an optional mode without riling the rest of the Fortnite community, some of whom disliked the Cube Monsters and found them annoying (particularly in the late stages of a match). And, of course, Team Terror will also allow Kevin the Cube's legacy to continue for just a little bit longer, may he rest in pieces.
