If you can't wait to start exploring the Lands Between in Elden Ring the moment it is released, FromSoftware has confirmed that pre-loading is now available for all platforms.

FromSoftware shared the news in a Tweet by simply saying, "pre-loading for #EldenRing is available now on all release platforms." Those release platforms are PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.

After you pre-load Elden Ring, you can also check out what time you can start playing with a handy infographic previously FromSoftware shared.

Players can jump into Elden Ring on PC on February 24 at 3pm PT/6pm ET/11pm GMT. If you are in Australia, that translates to 10am AEDT on February 25.

Most of the world will be able to begin their Elden Ring journey on console at midnight in their local time zone. If you are on Pacific Time or Central Time, you will be able to start a bit early on February 24 at 9pm PT/11pm CT.

In our Elden Ring review, a game we gave a rare 10/10 to, we said, "Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path."

For more, check out why playing Elden Ring in co-op is much easier than we thought, how it has a detailed tutorial dungeon for new players, and the game's launch trailer that shows off bizarre bosses and locations.

Your free PlayStation Plus games for March 2022 are Ark: Survival Evolved, Team Sonic Racing, and Ghostrunner's PS5 version, and the standalone version of the multiplayer Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is also being added.

All games will be available to download from March 1 to April 4. After that, you'll need to have an active PlayStation Plus subscription to keep the games. If you're still playing on a PS4, unfortunately you won't be able to get Ghostrunner.

If survival games featuring robot dinosaurs (but not those robot dinosaurs) are your thing, check out our review of Ark: Survival Evolved for a taste of prehistoric battle. It's worth noting that if you're already an Xbox/PC Game Pass subscriber, the service recently added Ark: Ultimate Survivor Edition, which includes all DLC from the past seven years.

You can also read our review of Ghostrunner for what IGN's Mitchell Saltzmann calls a "short-lived but memorable action game with some incredible moments."

It might surprise you to know that, of all three PlayStation Plus games this month, Team Sonic Racing is actually the highest-rated, earning an 8.5 out of 10 in our review. Contributor David Jagneaux called it a "gorgeous arcade racer full of blistering races, mind-bending tracks, and new ideas that make cooperation fun."

Lastly, Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, the game's multiplayer mode – recently turned into a standalone game of its own – is also being added to PlayStation Plus, available in both PS4 and PS5 versions.

Keep in mind that you also have until February 28 to download the current PlayStation Plus free games, including UFC 4, Planet Coaster: Console Edition, and Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure.

Xbox users can once again stream to Twitch directly from the console dashboard, five years after Microsoft removed the feature.

Xbox announced the imminent return of Twitch integration in a blog post and promised that streaming Xbox games is now easier than ever.

Players simply need to press the Xbox home button, shift along to the "Capture and Share" tab, hit "Live Streaming", and with just one further button press they'll be live on Twitch.

An options menu allows users to edit the stream title, manage game and microphone audio levels, toggle party chat on and off, and manually set resolution and bitrate. The stream will automatically pause whenever the player switches games.

Microsoft removed Twitch integration from the Xbox One in 2017 in a bid to push its own streaming platform, Mixer, but despite a strong effort to draw people in - which included streaming powerhouse Ninja signing exclusivity to the platform - it was shut down in 2020 and its userbase shifted to Facebook Gaming.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer said at the time that making Mixer successful was an uphill battle from the beginning.

Twitch streaming from the Xbox One or Series consoles has been possible in the meantime, of course, through the Twitch app, but Xbox promises this new integration is the best way to stream from the platform.

Black History Month is the annual celebration of Black people, their achievements and contributions throughout history. As a video games and entertainment media company, we personally want to make sure we not only celebrate Black History Month by showcasing Black creators and entertainers across different mediums, but also do it with a cause in mind.

To help achieve that goal, we've assembled some of our awesome, amazing, and talented friends to play Among Us with us for two hours, and raise money for Black Girls CODE in the process.

IGN is carrying the stream and, as usual, this watch guide will provide you with everything you need to know to watch the stream, including when it starts, a list of places you can watch it with us, and how you can donate.

You can check out last year's Black History Month stream below to see what you can expect from this year's event!

In the world of cinema, the role of Catwoman is almost as varied as Batman himself. The infamous burglar has been played by award-winning actresses, like Anne Hathaway, Eartha Kitt, and Michelle Pfeiffer, just to name a few. Whether you like a Catwoman with sensuously murderous intentions or just go for the pure camp of the classic era, everyone has a favorite.

And since everyone has their favorite, we put it to the IGN audience to determine which actress was the best Catwoman so far, and see which cat truly had the most lives. The results are officially in, with (at time of writing) one of IGN's biggest poll winners in recent days.

With 2,686 votes tallied, actress Michelle Pfeiffer took home the crown of best Catwoman with a whopping 54.4% of the vote. Call it a testament to her eerie yet sultry portrayal of Selina Kyle in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, where she faced off against Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito's Penguin, and Christopher Walken's crooked business mogul Max Shreck. She's perhaps most famous for her simple "Meow" from this scene and her infamous freakout, showing off her transformation into one of Batman's greatest foils.

• Anne Hathaway took home second place (24%) for her portrayal of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.
• Eartha Kitt took third for her work as the "Princess of Plunder" in the third and final season of the 1967 Batman series alongside Adam West.
• Julie Newmar took fourth for portraying the same Catwoman in the first two seasons of the classic Adam West series.
• Somewhat shockingly, Halle Berry didn't take the lowest-ranked Catwoman performance, garnering 6.2% of the vote for her work on the critical flop of the same name.
• Lowest on the poll is Lee Meriwether, who portrayed Catwoman in the 1966 Adam West Batman movie.

With Matt Reeves' The Batman out in theaters on March 4, we'll have to see how Zoe Kravitz compares to her Catwoman compatriots. In the meantime, we know that Paul Dano's Riddler is inspired by the Zodiac Killer and aims to challenge Batman's grip on the city of Gotham. You can also check out Bruce Wayne's first interactions with Selina Kyle in the Bat and the Cat trailer.

Netflix has released a new teaser trailer and poster for Ozark Season 4 Part 2, announcing that the second half of the final season will premiere on April 29.

The trailer for Ozark Season 4 Part 2 notes that "the end arrives sooner than you think" as it teases the conclusion of the dark and suspenseful Netflix crime drama that stars Jason Bateman as Martin "Marty" Byrde and Laura Linney as Wendy Byrde, a married couple who are entangled with local criminals in the dangerous business of money laundering.

— Netflix (@netflix) February 23, 2022

As well as the trailer, Netflix released a poster for the final episodes of the show, presenting a foreboding atmosphere that will likely follow Marty and Wendy as they climb to the top of Navarro's empire and find another opportunity to get out of the Ozarks, only to discover that "some past sins won't stay buried and the most dangerous threats come from blood."

The fourth and final season of the Emmy Award-nominated family crime drama consists of 14 episodes that have been split across two parts, with each volume consisting of 7 episodes. The two-part release for Ozark's concluding chapter follows a finale format that has previously been used for big critical TV hits such as Breaking Bad and Mad Men.

Ozark Part 1 premiered on January 21, 2022, following the show's Season 3 finale almost two years earlier. IGN rated the third season of Ozark an 8 out of 10, noting that series creators Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams "left the story open for an intriguing new chapter," having effectively expanded the Byrde family's criminal saga in the penultimate season.

The final season of Ozark is once again executive produced by showrunner and writer Chris Mundy, together with Jason Bateman, Mark Williams, John Shiban, Patrick Markey, Bill Dubuque, and Laura Linney who is co-executive producer. The series stars Julia Garner, Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Charlie Tahan, and Lisa Emery, amongst others.
