- Red Dead Online Beta Update Adds Battle Royale Mode "Gun Rush"
- The new update for Red Dead Online Beta is out now
and you can play a
brand new gameplay mode on PS4 and Xbox One. Rockstar Games has
released a new Red Dead Online Beta update that brings a new mode
called “Gun Rush.” This mode is basically inspired by the Battle Royale
genre. In this gameplay mode, “you’ll put your survival instincts to
the test, gathering weapons and ammunition while the play area shrinks
in this new mode for up to 32 players.” Sounds familiar, right? There
are two variations available to try here with both team-based and
free-for-all making the cut in this Gun Rush mode.

- GameStop Could be Purchased by Another Company as Early as
February - There's no denying that retail chain GameStop has
struggled to find its
footing in recent years. With the rise in digital sales over physical
and profit margins that rely too heavily on used game sales, the
company has slowly started to report even more losses. Despite this
dismal outlook for GameStop, however, it seems like the business is now
on the verge of being purchased by a new company. As first reported by
The Wall Street Journal, two companies are currently bidding to
purchase GameStop with a potential deal being announced to the public
at some point next month. According to sources within WSJ, the two
companies looking to buy the retailer are that of Sycamore Partners and
Apollo Global Management. Both of these companies and GameStop itself
declined to comment on this potential sale when questioned.

compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080 and from the looks of it,
NVIDIA’s CEO was not really impressed by what AMD has achieved. When
asked about the new AMD GPU, Jensen Huang told PCWorld that he found this new GPU
underwhelming.
