Want a beta key for LittleBigPlanet Karting? Read on! (Updated — We are out of codes!)

By Ryan Fleming July 24, 2012

Although we don’t yet have a firm release date for LittleBigPlanet Karting other than 2012, United Front Games has had enough of the game completed to offer playable demos as far back as April, not long after the title was first announced. It was only available to a small group under regulated conditions, always under the watchful eye of United Front, but that time has now passed and LBP Karting is growing up fast and ready to take its first steps into the big world.

SCEA and United Front have begun a brief beta test for the game, and we have keys to give away. The beta will only last until Tuesday, July 31, but in order to receive a code and try the game out, all you need to do is post a comment below and tell us what your favorite racing/karting game of all time is. The first ten commenters will receive a beta code via email!

The offer is open to North American residents only.

Thanks for everyone that posted! We are now out of codes, but keep an eye out for the next giveaway, which will be posted later today.

Is Fallout 76 cross-platform?

fallout 76 nuclear winter cancelled cancel

We've all loved exploring the different regions of the wasteland in the Fallout series alone, but it wasn't until Fallout 76 that we had the chance to do so with friends. While it wasn't quite what people were hoping for at launch, years of support have made this an excellent world to explore and go on quests with friends in. While most games released in recent years support cross-platform play between consoles, Fallout 76 came out before that was the standard. If you've got a group of friends playing on different systems, will you still be able to enjoy the sights and sounds of the wasteland together? Here's what you need to know.
Is Fallout 76 cross-platform?
Fallout 76 does not support full cross-platform support. The only two platforms that can play on the same servers are Xbox and PC, but only in the case where PC players are accessing the game through Game Pass. If you are on a PlayStation console or bought the game on Steam, you will only be able to play with others on those respective platforms.

Considering how many years it's been since Fallout 76 launched, it is unlikely that cross-platform support will be added at this point. Should we be proven wrong, we will update this guide to reflect that.
