We all remember the hour or so that YouTube went down a couple of days ago now, but did you know that Pornhub traffic rose to the occasion? The porn site teased the news on Twitter, and now there are some statistics to share from Pornhub that definitely shed some light on their claims.

Pornhub posted some traffic data that shows a large rise in traffic on Tuesday night, where at 9PM ET it was 12% above normal while an hour later at 10PM it was up 21%. The YouTube outage took place between 9:30PM and 10:45PM ET, with lots of people being at home at that time and unable to use YouTube it seems they slid on over to Pornhub for a quick flick.

There's a large drop in traffic towards midnight when YouTube came back up, with Pornhub noting it was "a significant increase by millions of additional viewers during Pornhub's peak evening hours".

Darksiders III is planned for launch next month and ahead of the games launch an interview with the development director for the title has revealed what players can expect in terms of gameplay length.

The interview was conducted with WCCFtech and Reinhard Pollice, the Business & Product Development Director at THQ Nordic. When asked about the games length Pollice responded with "Playtime is always a tricky question as it depends on numerous factors. On average, we would say somewhere around 15-hours-plus, which is similar to the first Darksiders."

Pollice also revealed that Darksiders III will also be launching with HDR support, so players with a HDR monitor or TV will be able to enjoy the true beauty of the game with a much larger color palette range. Darksiders III is coming to the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The title will be released on November 27th, for further information visit the official Darksiders III website here.

Rocket League developers psyonix have taken to their website to announce that Rocket League on the Xbox One X is soon to get full 4K/60FPS support topped with amazing HDR.

According to the announcement, Psyonix have one planned update left for 2018 and that is to bring Xbox One X players the best Rocket League experience that they can provide. The only way this can be achieved is if the developer rolls out a performance and graphical improvement update and that is exactly what they are doing, Rocket League is about to get Enhanced Xbox One X support. The update is currently planned for release in December and Psyonix will have another announcement leading up to the launch.

Throughout the announcement on their website, Psyonix also addressed the crossplay situation between Microsoft and Sony. Psyonix will be delaying the release of RocketID due to the progression being made towards crossplay between both platforms, "Sony's recent announcements regarding full cross-platform functionality, we can now make additional changes to prepare RocketID for ALL platforms should we receive permission to do so!"

When you think back the classic granddaddy of gaming titles, numerous titles such as Mario, Yoshi and DOOM come to mind. Tossed into that very same category is SEGA's legendary Sonic and judging by his sale numbers that claim has certainly been backed up.

SEGA just released their finnicial reports regarding their most successful flagship titles and their sales numbers from their creation to present date. Of course, as completely expected, our very fast blue friend takes the crown as the companies most prized mascot. Sonic was first created in 1991 on the SEGA Genesis or known as the Mega Drive to those who lived outside of North America. Since then, the franchise has pushed the boundaries of sales as the blue hedgehog has managed to shift 800 million separate units.

Just to emphasize how truly big that number is, the second closest SEGA franchise next to Sonic is Puyo Puyo which was also released in 1991 and has only sold 27 million units. Even if you add up the sales on each of the other seperate SEGA franchises it doesn't even scratch close to what Sonic has done for the company. If you are interested in checking out the sales margins for SEGA's other franchises, visit the official financial report that has been released here.

Another title is on its way to the Nintendo Switch, this time round we have Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors making its way over to the hand held console. Introducing, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition DX for Switch.

Now before you go and get all excited, it should be noted that back in November of 2017 Koei Tecmo brought Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada and Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate to the Nintendo Switch but never debuted a western release. This means that Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends could only be seeing a Japanese release, hope fully this is not the case as I'd assume many Switch owners in western markets would love to see these games on their hand-held console.

Jumping straight into what is included within the Complete Edition, from the announcement we will have scenarios, costumes and items. According to the announcement, the Complete Edition DX save data will be compatible with the other Warriors games that are on the Nintendo Switch. This means that players that already own Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, Samurai Warriors: Spirit of Sanada, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate and Warriors Orochi 4 could receive bonuses upon purchasing the Complete Edition. The planned launch date in Japan for Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition DX is currently set for December 27th for both the physical and digital release.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has been out for about a week now, and as promised developer Treyarch have unleashed a new patch that removes the FPS cap in ALL modes of the game, including the exciting new battle royale mode 'Blackout'.

The new patch includes a bunch of general issues being fixed, gameplay balances, and so much more. The general fixes include:

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a little over 24 hours away from being available to pre-load, and now that we're close we know how much HDD space you'll need on your Xbox One or PS4. Rockstar has teased on Twitter that the Red Dead Redemption 2 launch trailer will debut October 18 at 10AM ET while pre-orders on digital format will kick off pre-loads on Friday at 12AM ET.

Red Dead Redemption 2 comes in at 88.57GB on the Xbox One, while the PS4 version is a tad bigger requiring 89.2GB of free HDD space. Given that you'll be downloading close to 100GB, you might want to start pre-loading Red Dead Redemption 2 as soon as humanly possible. If you don't have the internet connection to handle the 90GB download, then getting the physical version of RDR 2 might be a good idea.

Sony PlayStation 4 owners are in for a treat over Xbox gamers, with a PS4 Pro bundle and limited time exclusive content for PS4 gamers. You'll receive the following:

AMD is expected to ramp up its fight against Intel in 2019 and beyond with the next-gen Zen 2 CPU architecture, with a fresh rumor regarding IPC improvements from Bits and Chips on Twitter.

They tweeted that the IPC improvement between the first-gen Zen+ and upcoming Zen 2 architecture, with a 13% average increase in IPC performance in "scientific tasks" with "no gaming data" provided right now. AMD would have early samples of 7nm-based Zen 2 processors right now, with data intensive applications being tested and these CPUs not being ready for gaming it makes sense for no gaming data right now.

AMD enjoyed an IPC improvement of 3% between the Zen and Zen+ refresh, but the new Zen 2 architecture takes things to the next level... so too does the 7nm process node that AMD is making the new Zen 2 chips on.

Epic Games has pushed out a new update to Fortnite, with the new v6.10 patch including some PS4 Pro specific optimizations that boost the rendering resolution.

The developer notes on its website: "If your PS4 Pro is plugged into a 4K TV, the game now renders at 1440p instead of 1080p". There are also some "audio memory optimizations" for Xbox and "physics optimizations for cosmetic items".

As for events, this is what we can expect:
