But the real multiplayer game I’m loving right now is free-to-play Rumbleverse
- A melee combat battle royale with giant goofy wrestlers beating each other senseless
- Think WWE meets Fortnite (from the guys who publish Fortnite)
- It’s free to play on PC and all consoles, along with crossplay, and is much better with a friend!
- Without guns, it’s much more forgiving than other battle royales

I know I talk about maps a lot, but Old Maps Online is the granddaddy map of them all!
- Old Maps Online lets you browse a database of old maps from all over the world
- Zoom into a place on the map–any place–and you’ll see a list of every map they have for that area, sorted by date
- Try somewhere else outside the United States to get into some really cool map collections
