For years, HP has been a leading name in gaming PCs and hardware, and now they’re teaming up with one of the biggest games in the industry for a new line of OMEN products.

Football Manager 26 has been on the lips of every gamer as we enter the middle of October and get close to the full launch. As announced earlier by Sports Interactive, Football Manager 26 goes live worldwide on Nov. 4 for PC. That date is, of course, meant for the full release, but the date could also be our best indicator for when the beta could potentially launch. Table of contentsExpected Football Manager 26 beta release datesHow to play Football Manager 26 betaExpected Football Manager 26 beta release dates Each year, Sports Interactive follows two patterns. The beta usually goes live two weeks before the game's launch. The beta over the last few years has always been released either on Tuesday or on Thursday. So we already know that the full launch takes place on Nov. 4, which is a Tuesday. If we go back by 14 days from that date, the applicable day is Oct. 21. Being a Tuesday, Oct. 21 seems to be a likely date for the beta to go live. However, this is based on the fact that Sports Interactive will be following the typical pattern. Football Manager 26 is slightly different since the last game came out two years ago. [Hidden Content] After much discussion and deliberation, Sports Interactive initially pushed back the release of Football Manager 25 before canceling it permanently. Hence, it's been almost two years since Football Manager 24 came out on PC and consoles. There are some rumors on social media that Sports Interactive could release the beta on Thursday, Oct. 16. However, there is no concrete evidence about these rumors, so you should take them with a pinch of salt. While we wait for the beta to go live, here's what you can do to ensure your participation. How to play Football Manager 26 beta The Football Manager 26 beta is essentially like an early access *******. While the version we can play will be different from the full launch, it's available to anyone who decides to pre-order the game. To participate, all you need to do is buy the game on Steam/Epic Games Store/Windows Store. Once you pre-order your copy, your next task is to wait for the beta to go live. You can then start this year's journey with the beta before continuing on to the full version. All your progression from the beta will also get carried over to the full version if you choose to do so. Like our content?

I've seen enough sales to know when the stars align, and right now the savings galaxy is sparkling mighty nice. Between long-awaited sequels, slick remasters and a few certified time vampires, this is one of those weeks where our backlogs are going to expand. Here's what caught my attention across the big four platforms, plus some LEGO fun to keep your shelf from looking too tidy. Contents RetroNintendoXboxPlayStationPCLEGOThis Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm waxing up a cake to mark 23 years since Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer first dropped in. For Illawarra South Coast groms like me and my mates, this game was basically a pipeline to paradise. We frothingly repped the Aussie spots like Bells and Kirra, legends like Curren and Carroll, and that slick combo system that felt like Tony Hawk had swapped his deck for a board. Still, not everyone was amped on the game’s floaty physics and mid-air kickflips that’d make even Poseidon raise a brow. Some of us paddled past this to Transworld Surf or Sunny Garcia’s for a bit more realism. Aussie birthdays for notable games. - Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars (PC) 1996.

Medics have found themselves fighting their own war in Battlefield 6 as desperate players take to using the repair tool to leave messages begging for revives. EA and Battlefield Studios opened the floodgates when Battlefield 6 launched last week, October 10, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. As more than 740,000 players gathered to play on Steam alone, a new discussion about in-game classes has bubbled to the top with one question: are medics doing their job? Revive in Battlefield 6 (animation)#Battlefield #Battlefield6 @NeebsOfficial [Hidden Content] — SiegeTales (@SiegeTales) October 10, 2025 The Support class no doubt plays an important role in any Battlefield 6 multiplayer match. While Assault, Engineer, and Recon classes, too, bring important tools and skills to a fight, it’s only the Support class that can get downed soldiers back on their feet at lightning speed. Squad mates of any class are free to revive each other with or without the medic tools in Support, though they are locked only to reviving players in their squad and take much longer to pick them up. Support players do not have these squad limitations and can instantly revive a soldier with things like defibrillators. With dozens of teammates in every Battlefield 6 match, there’s always plenty of players looking to be revived, and as buildings are often crumbling down around them, the chances of being picked up aren’t always too likely. Heightening the stress on both ends are measurements for downed players showing how far away the nearest group of medics is. When JohnBattlefield2000 opts not to revive you at just five meters away, things tend to get a bit heated. Some have already begun using the repair tool, a gadget wielded by engineers to repair vehicles (and draw on walls) in Battlefield for years, to leave messages for Support medics who neglect their fallen comrades. One popular post from Reddit user dobrewski77 contains a not-so-nice plea, asking others to “remember to revive your teammates.” It’s fair to want to get back into the fight, but those who favor Support say it’s not that easy to pull off a successful save. “Stop hitting redeploy and you’ll be revived,” one person replied in an X/Twitter post. “I wish people would ask where is the Medic instead of insta skipping the revive,” another Reddit comment added. Reddit user beningham94 also posted their own repair tool message during the weekend. Instead of calling out medics in the Support class, they chose to show their team a different message instead. True byu/beningham94 inBattlefield6 .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } Battlefield 6 launched just days ago and has already spawned different talking points across the community.
