Destiny 2 launches on PS4 and Xbox One
Destiny 2 is out now on PS4 and Xbox One with the PC version set to release on 24 October. Bungie's hit shooter arrives three years after the original, which introduced a new kind of online-only shooter based around a cohesive world of co-op and competitive play.
The shooter sees humanity's Guardians robbed of their powers after a faction of an alien race called the Cabal – The Red Legion – invades Earth's Last City with their sights set on the mysterious Traveller looming above it.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds passes another incredible sales milestone
Developer Bluehole has announced that PC early access hit PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has now passed 10 million units sold worldwide, less than a month after the studio announced the game had passed the 7 million milestone.
The game, which sees 100 players compete in a Battle Royale-esque scenario across a huge 8x8km island, was first released on 23 March, making its incredible success even more remarkable.
If it wasn't clear enough already that the game is a legit phenomenon, it certainly should be now.

Originally developed by Team Bondi – which has since closed down – the game is an open world mystery set in late 1940s Los Angeles .
