Costume Quest 2 is coming to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on October 28 with the exclusive addition of a Sackboy costume from LittleBigPlanet, as announced on the PlayStation Blog.

The lighthearted, Halloween-themed RPG came out on Mac, Linux, and Windows earlier in October. The twins Wren and Reynold return from the first Costume Quest to liberate more treats from the candy-hoarding Grubbins, this time under the command of a sinister Dentist who has taken over New Orleans and turned it into a fascist, anti-Halloween dystopia.

The twins use empowering costumes that cause them to transform in battle into the likes of a superhero, a pterodactyl, and Thomas Jefferson. Sackboy joins these ranks as a PlayStation exclusive, bringing the pain with the Little Big Beatdown special move. The first Costume Quest made its way to most contemporary platforms in 2010, but this is the first platform-specific costume for the series. Should we expect Master Chief and Angry Bird costumes when Costume Quest 2 makes its way to Xbox and iOS?

How to get XCoins in XDefiant

Every game with an in-game shop like XDefiant also needs its own form of currency. Typically, there's more than one to make things even more complicated. XCoins are the name for Ubisoft's premium currency needed to buy most of the cosmetics, such as skins and animations. Some games allow you to earn small amounts of the premium currency for free, while others only sell it to you in exchange for real cash. You don't have to pay to start playing, but will you need to start spending money once you do? Let's dig in and find the answer.
How to get XCoins
XCoins can only be earned in two ways in XDefiant. The first is to simply purchase them with real money. You can buy bundles of the premium currency in the Store tab of the menu by selecting Get More XCoins. These are the bundles currently available:

500 XCoins: $5
1,000 XCoins: $10
2,100 XCoins: $20
5,750 XCoins: $50
12,000 XCoins: $100

How to start the Far Harbor DLC in Fallout 4

Once you've done and seen everything there is in the base Fallout 4 game, it's time to venture out beyond the Commonwealth. The Far Harbor DLC was the first to add an entirely new zone to the game, but it doesn't stick it onto the existing map. It doesn't take long to get yourself to the new island once you know the proper steps, but you need to do a few specific things in the game before it will be an option, and the game won't tell you what those requirements are. This is all you need to know about how to start the Far Harbor DLC in Fallout 4.
