🖥 Xbox, PCSubnautica 2: Where to find Lithium
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/subnautica-2-lithium-on-cave-wall.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Finding Lithium is one of the most important resource milestones in Subnautica 2(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/subnautica-2). Your first piece of Lithium can be used to dramatically increase your breathable air supply, allowing for deeper dives than ever before. Later on, you'll also be able to use Lithium to craft a Scout Ray Chassis for your Tadpole, dramatically increasing its speed and mobility. It's a wonderful resource. If you're struggling to find Lithium, you're not alone. It's a tricky material to find unless you know exactly where to look, and the usual place to find it - the Zezuran Desert - is far too hot for you to explore without the right Adaptation. Fortunately, there's a far easier place to find all the Lithium you need, and it's a mere 350 metres from your Lifepod! Read on to find out where to get Lithium easily in Subnautica 2.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformBest Buy Might Have Leaked That Grand Theft Auto 6 Preorders Will Go Live On Monday
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2025/05/06/6aaf1231/vicecity01.jpg.webp) Grand Theft Auto VI(https://gameinformer.com/product/grand-theft-auto-vi) is set to launch on November 19(https://gameinformer.com/2025/11/06/grand-theft-auto-vi-release-date-delayed-to-november-2026) on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It's been over a year since the last trailer(https://gameinformer.com/2025/05/06/rockstar-just-unveiled-the-second-grand-theft-auto-vi-trailer), and fans are clamoring for new information every day. While there's no news of a trailer on the horizon, preorders might be going live next week, at least according to leaked affiliate information from retailer Best Buy. Over on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/), there's a popular post(https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1tclmls/bestbuymayhaveslippedupgta6preorders/?utmsource=share&utmmedium=web3x&utmname=web3xcss&utmterm=1&utmcontent=sharebutton) gathering various posts from Best Buy affiliates (content creators that get cuts of sales when players use their code to purchase something from the store online) who claim to have received an email that reveals preorders for Grand Theft Auto VI might go live next week. Specifically, the Best Buy emails these creators have received show a 5% earnings (or maybe discount – the email isn't super clear) rate for a campaign called "GTA 6 Pre Order (Physical Game)" with a duration of "May 18, 2026 - May 21, 2026," meaning preorders could go live on Monday. !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/14/16fe333b/emailgta6.jpg.webp) Frogboyx1Gaming on X A screenshot of the email Best Buy affiliate users are reportedly receiving While it's best to remain cautious, especially with anything pertaining to Rockstar Games, more and more creators are discovering this affiliate email in their inboxes – the GamingLeaksAndRumours post is rounding them up as they come in with photo and video proof. Even popular video game deals accounts, like Cheap Ass Gamer over on X(https://x.com/videogamedeals/status/2054781336468992335?s=20), have received the Best Buy affiliate account email, further proving that the emails with the details are real and not a fabrication. Now, of course, it's important to point out that just because Best Buy apparently has an affiliate sales campaign starting Monday for Grand Theft Auto VI, it doesn't mean preorders for the game will go live next week. This could be a mistake or misprint from Best Buy – fortunately, we seemingly won't have to wait long to find out. In the meantime, check out the latest Grand Theft Auto VI trailer(https://gameinformer.com/2025/05/06/rockstar-shows-off-six-major-areas-of-vice-city-in-grand-theft-auto-vi), and then read about these nine characters you'll meet in Vice City(https://gameinformer.com/2025/05/06/rockstar-details-nine-of-grand-theft-auto-vis-presumably-many-many-characters) this November.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformForza Horizon 6 review - The driving game for everyone still can’t seem to escape its car-collecting legacy
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/forza-horizon-6-screen-13.jpeg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) There is this idea that, for a long-running series to remain as consistently popular as Forza Horizon has been, it needs to diminish itself somewhat with each new entry, gradually losing more and more of its edge in a bid to appeal to the widest possible audience.

🖥 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PCHow to unlock all 007: First Light pre-release suits
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/007-prerelease-suit-header.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) James Bond is a man known for dramatically announcing drink orders, revealing his name with so much sauce that it's frequently complemented by an audio cue, and possessing a keen eye for a damn suave suit. The verdict's out on whether 007: First Light will implement either of those first two quirks, but we know Bond's sharp eye for a good fit is here in force, so much that there's actually a range of pre-release suits you can unlock right now in preparation for your globe-trotting espionage adventure.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformAssassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Ubisoft Launches Real-Life $500,000 Treasure Hunt, But You Have To Pay To Participate
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/13/2609732f/AC%20Treasure%20Hunt%20Header.jpg.webp) Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced(https://gameinformer.com/product/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced) launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 9, and ahead of the game's release, Ubisoft has launched a real-life hunt for a $500,000 treasure out there somewhere in the Caribbean. Before you make way, though, you bloomin' cockroaches, understand that you'll need to pay at least $40 to participate in the hunt. This treasure hunt is a result of a collaboration with real-world scavenger hunt maker Unsolved Hunts, and in order to get started, you'll need to pay for clues, starting with the Deckhand pack that you can purchase for $39.99; it comes with a digital version of the treasure hunt game, which includes clues, rules, and more. However, you can pay more at various tiers for additional goodies, like a physical version of the game, a themed notebook, other pirate games, and more. There's even a Pirate Lord tier that costs $229.99 that includes the physical and digital version of the treasure hunt game, a themed notebook, the pirate strategy game Chaotic Armada, the investigation game Amelia Davies and the Treasure of Blackbeard, one real gold coin minted for the hunt, Captain Edward Kenway's flag, and a seal, wax, and calligraphy set. Here's a look at the Gold & Crystal – The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway hunt below: The actual treasure is sitting in a handcrafted replica of the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced chest and features minted gold coins worth $350,000 and a crystal skull with a red opal jewel embedded in it worth $150,000. To find the treasure, you'll need to solve 15 riddles; Ubisoft and Unsolved Hunts expect players to spend up to five years trying to accomplish this. Only one player will ultimately find the chest in the Caribbean and win the game. You can find more details about this treasure hunt from Unsolved Hunts here(https://goldandcrystal.us/). Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, which is a remake of the original 2013 Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 9. For more, check out the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced reveal trailer(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2026/04/23/long-lost-treasure), then read up on the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced PC specs and requirements(https://gameinformer.com/2026/04/23/here-are-the-assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-pc-specs-and-requirements) after that.
