PUBG Seemingly Coming to PS4 in December
It appears that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be coming to PS4 after a year of Xbox One console exclusivity, if the PS4 game database is any indication.
A user on the PSNProfiles forum spotted that information about PUBG was present on Sony's servers, including a content ID code for the North American and European versions, as well as images.
Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad corroborated the rumor on the forum ResetEra, adding that it would be out in December. If Microsoft's console exclusivity deal had been for a year, this timing makes sense, as PUBG was first introduced to the Xbox One Preview program in December 2017.

Suicide Squad’s Joker and Harley Quinn to Join PUBG
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is teaming up with DC to allow players to use skins that make them appear as Suicide Squad's Joker and Harley Quinn in-game.
This collaboration will arrive in the near future and a glimpse of the two characters in action can be seen below as they are breaking out from what appears to be Miramar's prison.
Whether PUBG will simply receive the skins or a new limited-time game mode, like Avengers: Infinity War's Thanos in Fortnite, that has the Joker and Harley Quinn trying to escape the prison or be the last to survive remains to be seen.

Rockstar Working on Fix for Red Dead Redemption 2 Camp Glitch
Rockstar is currently working to fix a known glitch in Red Dead Redemption 2 that's causing certain companions to disappear from camp during the main story's early chapters. While players who've been affected by the glitch will have to wait for the official fix, the developer has revealed a temporary workaround for players who've yet to progress past Chapter 2.
Mild spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2 follow.
The glitch, which has been the topic of several popular Reddit threads, sees Sadie Adler, Jack Marston, John Marston, and Abigail Roberts disappear from camp for seemingly no reason. However, according to Rockstar Support, the glitch is caused by using the Retry Checkpoint feature during Chapter 2's Polite Society, Valentine Style mission.
J.J. Abrams’ Overlord Gets Bloody Great New Gallery 1988 Poster
With the upcoming J.J. Abrams-produced zombie horror movie due in theaters this week, IGN is exclusively debuting a brand new Gallery 1988 poster for the movie featuring its main villain. Given the blood splash across the imagery and the fact that half of this featured character's face has been zombified, you can probably guess that he is up to no good. The Big Bad in question is Pilou Asbæk's Dr. Wafner, a Nazi doctor with a plan to develop secret serums intended to, as IGN's review explains, "create thousand-year soldiers needed for the thousand-year Reich." As for the purpose that these zombie-obsessed Nazis have driving them... well, you'll have to watch the movie to find out.
Here’s Why Carl Wasn’t in Rick’s Final Walking Dead Episode
This interview contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 9, episode 5, "What Comes After."
Although Rick didn't die in Andrew Lincoln's final episode of The Walking Dead, our hero was visited by several "ghosts" from his past while attempting to outrun a herd of walkers and make it back to his family: Jon Bernthal's Shane, Scott Wilson's Hershel, and Sonequa Martin-Green's Sasha - each of whom gave our bleeding hero some much needed advice and motivation when it seemed he might be ready to give up and become zombie chow.
Many fans were disappointed that Chandler Riggs' Carl and Sarah Wayne Callies' Lori didn't make an appearance for Rick's swansong, given their close connection with the character, but Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang tells IGN that their close familial bond is exactly why the writers chose to keep Carl and Lori out of sight.
