Call of Duty received an unexpected marketing boost recently after darts hero Michael van Gerwen revealed playing it is his favourite hobby.
The three-time PDC world champion, 35, told an audience he enjoys some downtime playing Call of Duty away from the oche.

Gamers have waited more than 10 years for a new main title in the hugely successful series which has sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide.
Rockstar first released a trailer for GTA 6 in 2023, after it was leaked early online.
Fans of the game have been fearing a delay might be on the cards for sometime due to a lack of updates from the company.
However, elsewhere in the sector the retro gaming market is thriving – and some long-forgotten treasures could fetch a tidy sum.

Call of Duty Warzone is one of PlayStation's most popular games
Games once dismissed as outdated are now highly sought-after collectables, fetching eye-watering prices at auction.
A sealed, first-print Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) achieved a £1.5million sale in 2021, setting a record as the most expensive video game ever sold.
While a gold Nintendo World Championships 1990 cartridge sold for over £160,000 last year as fewer than 20 confirmed copies exist.

However, some of the rarest and most valuable games out there aren't necessarily the ones you'd expect.
Karlo Čičko, tech expert and software developer at GameBoost, said: "One thing I've learned from working at GameBoost and spending time around serious collectors is that it's not always about Mario or Zelda.
"Some of the real unicorns are tied to obscure competitions, tiny production runs, or even developer mistakes."

Two major games to stop working on some PlayStation and Xbox consoles – it'll cost fans a fortune to keep playing
TWO popular games are winding down this month as they lose compatibility with older consoles. To keep playing, fans will have to upgrade to the newer PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S - costing as much as £499. 2 2 Black Desert Online and The First Descendant are the latest titles to ditch support for the aging PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. After nearly a decade of service, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the Black Desert Online will be shutting down on 26 June. The creators at developer Pearl Abyss said they were shifting focus to the existing PC version of the game and the all-new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. In-game purchases for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players are set to be restricted. Gamers will be able to keep playing - and pick up from where they left off - only if they upgrade to a new console. When Black Desert Online is eventually made available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S after maintenance, players on the respective PS and Xbox platforms may continue with all their saved data, its creators said. All game data, including purchased items and in-game currency will be stored and accessible on those platforms. The First Descendant is also ending support for last-generation consoles, less than a year after it first launched. The title is set to be discontinued on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from 19 June, just two weeks before the game's first anniversary. The creators at Nexon Games pinned the decision on the "increased scale" of the game. The developer added that the team was spending "a lot of effort and difficulty maintaining the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One builds," prior to the shutdown. The First Descendant has been on a downward trajectory for the last few months as its player count dwindles, according to The Gamer. There are a number of reasons why games lose support for older consoles, such as development costs and hardware limitations. Older hardware can't keep up with modern game features, making it harder to deliver new content smoothly on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The Last of Us fans hit with disappointing update for season three release date
The Last of Us fans may be expected to wait a lot time for the release of season three of the hit HBO show... Fans of the HBO hit series The Last of Us can likely expect a long wait for the third season of the critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic drama television series. Season two of the drama finished last week, with some fans branding it as "disappointing". The season finale ended with Bella Ramsey's character Ellie confronting vengeful killer Abby, who is played by Kaitlyn Dever. The series is based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog, which was released in 2013 on Xbox and Playstation. The show quickly became a fan favourite due to viewers enjoyment of the game. Despite mixed reviews for the season finale, it was already renewed for a third season ahead of the season two release date. Similar to the game, the next season is expected to shift to Abby's perspective. At a press conference last month, according to Vulture, co-creator Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann admitted they still aren't sure how much viewers can expect to see characters Ellie, Dina (Isabela Merced), Tommy (Gabriel Luna), and Jesse (Young Mazino) in the next season. This led fans to believe the creators haven't completed writing the season yet. This theory was later appeared to be confirmed by Bella, who recently told Variety that they hadn't "seen any scripts," yet. When Bella was asked whether their character would take on a smaller role in the third season, the 21-year-old said: "I haven't seen any scripts, but yes, I do expect that. I think that I'm going to be there, but not a whole bunch." Although they did not give anything away, they continued: "We've had conversations about that. I sort of have a rough idea of what it's going to be, but I can't tell you." However, creator Craig revealed: "All I can say is we haven't seen the last of Kaitlyn Dever and we haven't seen the last of Bella Ramsey, and we haven't seen the last of Isabela Merced, and we haven't seen the last of a lot of people who are currently dead in the story." As Neil teased: "Whether you will see them on screen or not, their presence will be there throughout." Speaking previously about the show's future, Craig assured viewers that they were "not going to go past the game." He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'll just say that flat out. So if people are thinking, 'Oh, these guys are planning the old cash grab thing… "I'm basically setting a decade of my rapidly dwindling life on fire to tell this story. The show is so hard to make. It has to have an end. So I'm not going to go past." Fans of the show could not be more upset with the long wait for season three, as they took to social media to discuss their upset. One fan wrote on Reddit: "I don't understand why they didn't just film season 2 and 3 at the same time or at least make season 10 episodes and have parts of 5. Honestly and a lot of people agree with me on this 2027 to see another 7 or 8 episodes is a joke." Which promoted another viewer to reply: "They should have made season 2 as long as it took. 15 or 20 episodes. Just f*****g do it." As a third replied, showing their distrust to HBO: "The current head of HBO sucks and is making terrible decisions."

You can save almost £100 on a Playstation 5 thanks to limited time deal
You can currently save almost £100 on a Playstation 5 slim thanks to this limited time offer which sees it slashed to £385, with shoppers calling it a 'worthwhile investment' Whether you're a gaming novice or a die hard gamer, upgrading to a new console is something everyone looks forward to. However, it's no secret that consoles can be pricey, especially when they're one of the newest models around. That's why Playstation fans are rushing to snap up this great deal on Amazon, which sees the Playstation 5 slim slashed 20% for a limited time. Usually costing £479.99, it's currently on sale for just £384.95, saving you £95. A brilliant upgrade from the older Playstation 4 model, the Playstation 5 slim has the capabilities for both disc and digital games, so you can download new games or go old school with the physical copy of them. The slim model is also sleek and space saving, measuring 10 x 5 x 1.3 cm and weighing just 5.08 kg. It's much quicker and quieter than the older PS4 model, and has an ultra-high speed SSD for faster loading. It also has adaptive triggers, 3D Audio2 and a whole host of new games to choose from exclusive to PS5, as well as still allowing you to play a backlog of PS4 games. The Playstation 5 Disc model is currently also on sale at Very for £389, saving you £90. Meanwhile at Freemans the PlayStation 5 (PS5) Console with GTA V is down from £519.99 to £409.99, saving you a huge £110 and getting you the added benefit of the most recent Grand Theft Auto game. Comparatively, the latest Xbox model, the Xbox Series X, is £499 on Amazon, whilst the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) is on sale down from £250.90 to £232. However if you've been keen to get your hands on a Playstation 5, the current Amazon deal is one of the cheapest prices on the market. You can also save on the digital version, as well as the both the standard and digital versions with the addition of the Astrobot game. Amazon shoppers have also praised the Playstation 5 slim, with more than 1500 five star ratings at the moment. One said: 'The PlayStation 5 Slim is a fantastic upgrade from the original PS4. It's sleeker, lighter, and more compact, making it easier to fit into any entertainment setup. The performance remains top-notch with fast load times and stunning graphics. The modular design, including a removable disc drive, adds great flexibility. While it's still a bit pricey, it's a worthwhile investment for any gamer looking to enhance their gaming experience.' Another agreed: 'You immediatley notice the difference between this and the PS4, particularly in loading times. The visual difference comes more when paired with a 4K TV/Monitor. Also fan is quiet, only sometimes the disc drive can be loud when copying a game disc (which can be fixed, as far as I'm aware). Even so, if you are a gamer I'd get this. A clear improvement on its predecessor.' One did caution: 'Great console - but you won't get the free 24-month premium voucher (worth £200+) from buying here so probably better to order from Sony or another retailer directly in the long run.' Whilst another added: 'Everything works fine. The only problems are that the station doesn't come with stands pr a charger for the controller. And for some reason the PS5 slim doesn't have 1TB. It instead has 825 GB like a standard PS5.' However another was thrilled, writing: 'As a pc player this console is great fun and has plenty of great exclusives that look amazing in 4k and perform fantastic they are definitely worth getting into.' Shop the Playstation 5 slim on sale at Amazon now.
