Tour might have been criticized by many players for being riddled with microtransactions but that hasn't slowed down the success it has enjoyed. More people had played Tour than have played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch within days of the mobile game's release. A little more than two months later and Nintendo has another reason to celebrate Mario Kart 's first mobile g

Season 3 is planned for release sometime in mid-January and will introduce new maps, modes, a Battle Pass, and a ranked mode season for battle royale and multiplayer. While the development team doesn’t want to reveal everything about the new maps and modes before its official announcements, it did offer some tidbits to give players a taste of what’s to c

Including controller support is a good idea for Call of Duty Mobile . The game is great, but its biggest flaw was relying on the touchscreen of mobile devices as the only way to play the game. The controller settings can be tweaked to fit any play style as well. Players won't be able to navigate the menus of the game with a controller, though. They only work during multiplayer matches and battle royale. Still, a controller just feels right to play a Call of Duty game and Codmobileinsight writes their inclusion in Call of Duty Mobile widens its appeal even m

Once the hiding time limit expires, Hunters will seek Prop members out and attempt to gun them down on sight. Should a Prop be found, however, they'll have the ability to try and run away from the Hunters. If they manage to escape, they can find a new hiding place and become a new prop (not necessarily in that order). The game ends in a win for Props if the Hunters can't destroy them before time runs out, and the game ends in a win for Hunters if they destroy all the Props within the time li

Introduced in Black Ops II , scorestreaks are a multiplayer mechanic that rewards players for attaining certain scores without dying. Upon reaching the required score, players can call in special support for their team, such as disabling enemy radar or launching an airstrike. A new scorestreak , a combat drone from Black Ops II called MQ-27 Dragonfire, was made available on January 3 and will be removed on the 12th, so interested COD: Mobile players should be sure to check it out before it’s g

Call of Duty has featured Prop Hunt before, though, namely in Call of Duty: Black Ops III , Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered , and Call of Duty: WWII , but this is the first time it's appeared in Call of Duty : Mobi

That doesn't bode well for traditional gamers who despise the microtransaction model. Nintendo has been enjoying so much success on that front that even some Switch games have started to employ it. The gaming landscape is changing, and the industry might soon come to a fork in the road. Continue on with microtransactions, or commit to the subscription service-based system. The success of services such as Apple Arcade will likely dictate which route the industry ta

Developed by Tencent Games and TiMi Studios, Call of Duty: Mobile is a free-to-play mobile take on the popular first-person shooter franchise. Unlike many mobile ports of well-loved console or PC games, COD: Mobile has been generally well received . It features classic multiplayer combat modes as well as battle royale matches with up to 100 players. One of the biggest complaints from the player base, besides the expected dislike for microtransactions, has been that there is no campaign mode. Instead, the game offers iconic multiplayer maps from both Black Ops and Modern Warfare, as well as the ability to unlock characters, weapons, outfits, and scorestreaks for loadout customizat

The original game is a popular, free-to-play FPS from developer Crytek Kiev and is considered a simple and approachable PvP experience. The game is also quite balanced and does not provide any additional benefits to players who choose to spend money in-game, instead this provides only cosmetics. Its transition to mobile looks to be a big hit for these reas

Finally, an update on January 1 will introduce Prop Hunt Pt2 and new challenges. What exactly Prop Hunt Pt2 will do differently from the first remains to be seen, but it's more Prop Hunt, so whatever it is should be fun. For those who aren't exactly interested in Prop Hunt, however, maybe they'll have more fun killing Santa in the Zombies game mo

One of the new multiplayer modes is called Rapid Fire and will only be available for a limited time. It gives players infinite ammo and grenades, faster operator skill cooldowns, and scorestreaks that recharge more quickly. Also incoming is the first Season 3 multiplayer map, Scrapyard, which recreates the classic location from Modern Warfare 2 . The medium-sized map is set in an airplane graveyard and will allow players to test their Call of Duty: Mobile skills in close to midrange batt

Nintendo has had mixed results when it comes to its foray into the mobile market. Super Mario Run was its first major mobile title and despite surpassing the 200 million download mark, Nintendo has since revealed the title was not profitable. Three years later, the gaming giant seems to have learned from its mistakes in the form of Mario Kart To
