There Are Already 6 Times More Mods for Skyrim: Special Edition on Xbox One Than PS4
Despite not being released until this Friday, October 28, Bethesda is already accepting console mod submissions for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition. But it's accepting far more on Xbox One than PS4.
At time of writing, looking at each platform's Bethesda.net listings (Xbox One here, PS4 here) reveals 65 mods for Xbox One and just 10 for PS4. All 10 of the PS4 mods are also available on Xbox One.
That discrepancy seems to come down to one important difference between Microsoft and Sony's tolerance for modding - Microsoft will allow external assets (user-created models that don't appear in the game) while Sony will not.
Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger Symphonies Coming to Vinyl

Destiny’s Halloween Update Features a Flying Broom to Find
Bungie has today updated Destiny with the Halloween event Festival of the Lost, and it contains a hidden Sparrow which isn't actually that hard to find.
The Lost Broom Sparrow is found in the Tower (thanks Eurogamer and Reddit user NomNomzombie. Picture by RedPanthony). To find it, go to the hangar area, go down the steps and into the underground area.
Battlefield 1’s Giant Easter Egg Hunt Has Started
It might be Halloween season, but in the world of Battlefield 1 a lot of people are searching for Easter eggs.
Multiple players have reported finding sets of headphones in each multiplayer map in the game, which can only be picked up by a single player.
The headphones make a resupply noise when picked up, which then unlocks a radio set elsewhere in the level that starts broadcasting what appears to be Morse code. One of the messages can be heard in this YouTube video, which has been posted to the Game Detectives subreddit.
Hearthstone Teases Its Next Expansion
Blizzard appears to be teasing its next expansion for Hearthstone, following the Whispers of the Old Gods set, and the One Night in Karazhan adventure.
The Hearthstone Twitter account simply tweeted a postcard from Gadgetzan, World of Warcraft's neutral goblin trading post:

Coupled with the findings of a Reddit user, who discovered that Blizzard now owns the domain Gadgetzan.com, and the fact that Hearthstone has always followed an adventure with a new card expansion, it seems Gadgetzan could be our next stop.
Ubisoft Introduces Big Changes for The Division’s Single Player
Ubisoft has introduced a huge number of tweaks, big and small, to its third-person shooter, The Division.
Update 1.4 - detailed on the official The Division website - introduces World Tiers "that controls the level of enemy NPCs encountered and the quality of the loot they drop". This will help players level up without necessarily venturing into the game's notoriously tough PvP territory, the Dark Zone, or taking on Incursions.
The new World Tiers are set at levels 30, 31, 32, or 22. Tier 1 drops gear score rewards 163, Tier 2, 182 (and also unlocks Incursions and Challenge difficulty), Tier 3 rewards 204, and the top Tier offers gear score rewards 229. Plus, there's now a chance any NPC will drop High End and Gear Set loot, and Weekly and Daily mission drops are more likely to match your current level.

The Harry Potter Universe’s 17 Most Fantastic Beasts
In a land where centaurs thunder around enchanted forests, giant deer have magic trees growing out their heads and the preferred mode of travel involves hopping on the back of an undead flying horse, it is surprising (and unfortunate) that they have still not invented David Attenborough.
Deprived of his dulcet tones, the world of Harry Potter got Newt Scamander. A nervous, twitchy fellow who unleashes chaos upon New York after accidentally releasing a zoo’s worth of magical creatures out of his suitcase.
In honour of this travesty, we’ve rounded up 17 of the most fantastic beasts we could find from the Harry Potter books, its movies, and the texts of Newt Scamander himself.

Supergirl: Did Season 2 Just Introduce Cyborg Superman?
Warning: this article contains spoilers for this week's new episode of "Supergirl"!
"Welcome to Earth" was a very eventful new episode of Supergirl, with several characters making their debuts and the reveal that J'onn J'onzz isn't the only Green Martian living on Earth. But perhaps the most intriguing reveal of all is that President Olivia Marsdin (played by Lynda Carter) is some sort of shape-shifting metahuman in disguise. But who is she really? Was she always a shape-shifter, or has the real President Marsdin been kidnapped and replaced?
It may be some time before the series answers those questions. However, we have an interesting theory. We think President Marsdin may be an iconic Superman villain in disguise. She may actually be Cyborg Superman.
