What better way to celebrate Valentines than with a Dead Space 3 in-game item giveaway!

By Digital Trends Staff February 14, 2013

While some may see Valentine’s Day as a time to go out and have dinner with a friend or loved one, or perhaps even go to a singles party celebrating being on the other side of the Valentine’s Day fence, we have an alternative suggestion for you care of EA and Visceral Games.

The team behind Dead Space 3 has codes to help you make stomping the heads of Necromorphs all the more rewarding, and not only that, we have two codes to give each winner so you can keep one for yourself and pass the other on to a co-op partner. For your chance to win, all you have to do is post a comment below telling us what games coming out this year that you are most interested in (or even unannounced games possibly coming in the future). Let us know what games you are interested in, and we’ll do our best to make sure we keep you up to date in the coming weeks and months on any news regarding the game or franchise.

Here’s how the codes break down: we will choose two winners for Dead Space 3 on EA’s Origin service, two for the PS3, and one for the Xbox 360. When you post a comment, you must specify your system of preference. The contest is open to U.S. residents only.

Here’s what you can win:

Origin and PS3 players:

-One winner will receive two codes for the “Tau Volantis Survival Kit” (containing the Marauder, Sharpshooter, and Tundra suit packs, as well as the Bolt Accelerator.)

-One winner will receive two codes that includes a “Miscellaneous pack” (including the Maurauder, Sharpshooter, and Tundra suit packs, the Bolt accelerator, Bot capacity, and Bot personality.

Xbox 360 players:

-One winner will receive two codes for the “Miscellaneous pack” listed above

In total there will be five winners, two for PC, two for PS3, and one for Xbox 360. We will select the winners tomorrow (Friday, February 15) at noon PST.

Good luck, and happy stomping!

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.
