Today, Ubisoft announced that the free-to-play battle royale Hyper Scape has PC crossplay starting today. In addition, the Takeshi’s Team Deathmatch Party event is now available along with Title Update 4.
Running from January 28 to February 9, Takeshi’s Team Deathmatch Party is a limited-time event that invites players to take part in fast-paced and intense Team Deathmatch battles. Players can earn cosmetic rewards exclusive to the event while completing the following challenges:
