All Your Friends Can Play Midnight Murder Club for Free on PS5

Midnight Murder Club is not free-to-play, but you’ll only need one copy to play with all your friends. A little bit like Split Fiction, developer Velan Studios has introduced a Guest Pass for the game, which means only one person will need to own it to play with five friends.

Here’s the exact explanation from the PS Blog: “If one person buys the game, they can invite up to five Guest Pass Edition players to play together for no additional cost in public or private matches, in all current game modes, as much as you want.” Just to clarify, that Guest Pass Edition will be free to download.

The title will be launching in Early Access on 13th March. And it’ll cost $ for the one copy you need to own to play with all your friends.

For those of you who haven’t been following, this is a multiplayer first-person shooter where you need to rely on sound to stalk your pray. While you are armed with a flashlight to see your surroundings, switching it on will expose your position to everyone else, creating a really unique gameplay mechanic.

While there’ll be various modes at launch, including Free for All and Team Deathmatch. The developer has also revealed Wildcards today, a new mode which sees you building a deck of status changes which affect everyone in the game. That means you can deal a super-speed card to make everyone move really fast or imbue everyone with oversized heads like in an old Nintendo 64 game.

How to play with friends in multiplayer in Monster Hunter Wilds

There are a few ways to play with friends in Monster Hunter Wilds’ multiplayer system, which has a number of complicated options that can seem initially overwhelming.

Furthermore, this guide explains the easy way to join up with friends to tackle quests or just explore the world together, as well as join randoms if you want to get your multiplayer fix without waiting for people you know to come online.

Below, we explain the various ways to play Monster Hunter Wilds in co-op and multiplayer. Whether it’s through a Link Party, Environment Link, or SOS Flares.

How to play with friends in Monster Hunter Wilds with Link Party.

If you want to run multiple quests with up to four friends, the simplest process is to create a Link Party with them. First, know that it doesn’t matter what lobby you are in — whether it’s a public or private lobby you might have joined by Lobby ID. Or if you are playing in Online Single Player — as the Link Party feature works regardless of the lobby system.

You can play with friends via Link Party by doing the following:

Open the menu screen. Tab over to the “Communication” tab with the speech bubble icon. Select “Link Party.” To make a party, choose “Invite to Link Party” and select the friends you want to invite. (The easiest way to find a friend is search for their Hunter ID, which works in (The easiest way to find a friend is search for their Hunter ID. Which works in crossplay with other platforms. You can find your Hunter ID code on your by going to the “Info” tab on the menu, then “Hunter Profile,” then “Toggle Online ID.” Once they are in your Link Party, you can then add send a friend request on the “View Link Party Members” screen so you don’t have to share a Hunter ID code again in future.) If you’ve been invited to a Link Party. You’ll need to select the “Invitation List” option and accept that invite. From there, once someone has posted a quest, you will see the quest appear in-game automatically for you to join when you’re ready.

Beyond being the most direct way to play with a friend. Link Parties offer a number of benefits. There’s dedicated voice and text chat between your group, and after you finish a quest, you will stay grouped up so you can take on another one — but you can also decline subsequent quests if you prefer to do something else in the meantime.

In other words, you are linked together and can jump into each other’s quests, but you are still in your own lobbies and/or instances of the game between those sessions.

However, since you are in your own lobbies. You don’t see one another in-game outside of quests — and that’s where Environment Link comes into play.

How to see friends in multiplayer with Environment Link.

Environment Link is a way to share the same world and explore together, which by default, forming a Link Party doesn’t do. This is partly due to the lobby system — which, if you’re in a public lobby for example, is how you might be visibly seeing random other players in your world already — but also. Keeping everyone separate by default in a Link Party means it can prevent you from stumbling into challenging late game monsters a friend has unlocked that you yet have not.

To join together via Environment Link, the person who wants to host everyone in their game must:

Invite friends to your “Link Party” as shown in the steps above. Open the menu screen again. Tab over to the “Communication” tab with the speech bubble icon. Select “Link Party.” Select “Invite All to Environment Link.”.

First, depending on where you are in the story. You might not see the “Invite All to Environment Link” option at all. This is because key story moments may prevent Environment Link invites — in which case. Progress further until the world state has settled down to “normal,” or ask someone else in your Link Party to play host in their world instead. (In our testing, it was possible to be invited to someone else’s Environment Link world even if you’re temporarily story-locked in yours.).

Second, from our experience (and it looks like that of the community as well). You cannot post quests via Alma or the Quest Counter when in Environment Link. If that’s the same for you, then drop out of this and go for a regular Invite Party.

How to get the best of solo and multiplayer with SOS Flares.

If you’re interested in playing with randoms to take down a specific monsters without the confusion of joining a public lobby, you can answer SOS Flares, which are created by other players when they need an assist on their hunts.

You can join an SOS Flare by doing the following:

AMD confirms more affordable RX 9060 graphics cards will arrive in 'the second quarter of this year'

We may have only just heard all the details about AMD's forthcoming RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards. But I'm looking to the future for the next release. Thankfully, the red team has some news on what to expect, and when. The enterprise confirmed multiple "RX 9060 products" will arrive in the second quarter of this year, which could be anytime between April – June.

A later timeframe does appear more likely right now, considering the delayed launch of the RX 9070-series, but. We'll have to wait and see.

The RX 9060-series should be made up of more affordable graphics cards than their RX 9070-series compatriots. Considering the RX 7600 XT was priced at $329 at launch, and the RX 7600 at $269, we should expect prices for the newer models to be in this same sort of ballpark.

I'd love to see a 16 GB RX 9060 XT for $329. As proper competition to Intel's 12 GB Arc B580. Then, if AMD intends to sandwich Intel entirely, an affordable addition below the $280 Arc card in the RX 9060. Though this does require RDNA 4 to be a performant architecture once limited for compute units and on a stricter power budget—it should be though, AMD's not struggled massively with that in the past thanks to its know-how designing iGPUs for APUs.

Generally, I'm just pleased to hear something about budget graphics cards. Or presumably budget graphics cards.

Nvidia has introduced nought on cheaper alternatives to its current RTX 50-series line-up, the cheapest of which so far introduced is the forthcoming RTX 5070 at $549. Though those released in the series to date have been shooting way above MSRP for the past month, and Nvidia hasn't been known for tremendous value in the budget arena with the RTX 40-series, either.

Intel has, of course, the B580, which is a commendable launch for a card under $300 (in theory, it is also in high demand). But AMD has been holding out on us.
