Collect a record and place it in a turntable (2)

For this challenge, you need to head to one of the locations on the map above to collect a record. Then, you’ll need to place it in the nearby turntable, which is usually found right next to the record. Keep in mind, if the turntable is destroyed, you won’t be able to place the record there.

Despite the quest seemingly saying it requires two records, this actually refers to the number of steps in the process, not the number of records you need to place. Collect the record (1) and place it in the turntable (2).

Next, you’ll need to make your way inside The Sideways, which are circular areas marked in purple and pink around the map. Once inside, you’ll want to interact with two of the large footprints on the ground.

Head back into The Sideways and you’ll come across Cube Monsters. For this challenge, you need to take down Cube Monsters and collect the Symbols they drop, which are large crystals. After you’ve collected five of them, you’ll complete the challenge. Make sure you enter The Sideways with full shields and decent weapons.

Reveal the Command Symbol (1)

To complete this challenge, simply visit one of the locations marked on the map above and interact with the pink Command Symbol. Once you do, you’ll earn credit for completing this one.

Launch signal flares (3)

The final challenge will take a little bit of time, so it’s best to grab a vehicle. For this one, you need to visit three of the flare locations marked on the map above and interact with them to launch them into the air. You don’t need to visit all in the same match, so don’t worry if you get eliminated before you can complete the challenge.

GTA 6 may not get the real physical release fans were hoping for
The game may come in a case, but not on a disc

Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders recently went live, but the excitement came with one frustrating catch. The so-called physical edition of the game will not include a disc. Instead, buyers will get a box with cover art and a download code inside.

That decision immediately caused backlash online, especially among collectors who still care about owning games on disc. For a while, there was some hope that this would only be temporary. Reports suggested that Rockstar could release a proper disc version of GTA 6 in December 2026, giving physical media fans something to wait for.

The Steam Machine launch hasn’t even happened, but the resale circus has begun
Scalpers are already trying to cash in on Valve’s Steam Machine

Valve has started sending out reservation emails for the Steam Machine ahead of its June 30 launch, and scalpers have wasted no time turning the whole thing into a comedy act.

The Steam Machine is already an expensive device, as RAM and SSD prices have made hardware pricing miserable across the industry. Valve has previously said it would like to lower the price if component costs improve. That makes the resale listings even harder to take seriously, because the official price was already higher than many people expected before scalpers added their own fantasy tax.

When Valve finally revealed the Steam Machine's $1,049 starting price, the reaction was almost unanimous: the hardware looks fantastic, but the price hurts. Now, the company has confirmed what many gamers suspected all along: it never wanted the Steam Machine to cost this much in the first place.
