Every GTX 1070/1080 sold comes with a free ‘Gears of War 4’ on PC, Xbox One

If you’re looking to upgrade your PC to the latest generation of Nvidia hardware, now would be a good time to do it. Not only do you get all of the power and energy efficiency of the newest Pascal GPUs, but you’ll get a free copy of Gears of War 4 to play on it, too.

Announced by Nvidia earlier this week, the promotion bundles the upcoming sequel to the hit third person shooter franchise with the two top of the line (mainstream) graphics cards from Nvidia. With support for 4K resolutions in-game, Microsoft and Nvidia see it as a good title to show off what your new hardware can do.

Gears of War 4 sees players taking on the role of Marcus Fenix’ son, J.D. Fenix, who must take on a whole new challenge with a whole new enemy in a post-Locust, post-Lambent world. There’s new weapons of course and new body-horror-enemies to blast to bits, but the cover system and unbelievably broad shoulders remain.

Since it’s an Xbox Play Anywhere title, activating Gears of War 4 on your PC will also net you a downloadable copy on your Xbox One as well, potentially letting you play a cross-platform, co-op campaign with a friend.

If you are interested in this deal though, don’t just go out and buy any old GTX 1070 or 1080. You’ll need to buy directly from official Nvidia partners like Amazon, Newegg or Micro Center among others. For a full list of purchase locations, have a look at the official bundle website here.

Once you’ve bought your card, installed it, run a few benchmarks for posterity and are ready to game, you can register your bundle on the “official redemption portal,” here.

Are you guys ready to take on the forces of gray and brown humanoids once again?

If you have an LG TV, you might have received a major Xbox upgrade

If you've been debating buying an Xbox, you might want to think about upgrading your TV instead. Specific smart LG TVs just received the Xbox App, allowing gamers to stream games straight from the Internet without the need for a console. If you sign up for Xbox Game Pass, you can access hundreds of games in its cloud gaming catalog — and if through the Buy and Stream service, you can purchase certain games and play them, even if they aren't part of the Game Pass lineup.

There's a catch, though: you need to have a compatible LG TV for this to work. Xbox writes, "Available on LG TVs with webOS 24 or newer versions. This includes select 2022 and 2023 models which have been updated to software version 23.20.01 or higher, including 2022 OLED TVs, and 2023 OLED, QNED, Nanocell, and UHD TVs." The press release also states that LG smart monitors with webOS24 or later are also compatible.

Sastro in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

One of the first side quests you'll stumble upon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 asks you to find all of Sastro's lost Gestrals. There are nine of them in total, and with how big the overworld is in this turn-based RPG, it can be a nightmare to track them all down.

Some of these little Gestrals are easy to spot and in places you'll pass while on your journey to defeating the Paintress. Other times, they'll be hidden away and only accessible in the final hours of your playthrough. If you can beat a Burgeon, you can surely find all the Gestrals, so we'll show you each of their locations and what you get for finding them all.
