Respawn's battle royale,  Apex Legends  is adding Valentine's Day cosmetics as well as a number of bug fixes in today's update. As you'd imagine, the Valentine's Day items will only be available for a limited time—until February 19—so you've got just under a week to nab the bits you want. A couple of cosmetic items are available from the store; a 'Through the Heart' Longbow Epic DMR skin and a 'Love the Game' Pathfinder banner frame. Alternatively, you can earn a 'Live Die Live' banner badge by successfully reviving a member of your squad before next Tuesday. Tweaks and bug fixes include the removal of an exploit that allowed you to duplicate items in your inventory, a number of server and client stability issues have been addressed, and improvements to the UI have been made.

Wargroove  has its differences from Advance Wars, the Nintendo series that inspired it, but that isn't stopping some players from immediately turning Wargroove  into  Advance Wars. Thanks to its built-in mapmaking and campaign-building tools, Wargroove already has a bunch of player-created maps to play, including recreations of Advance Wars missions. Here are the coolest Wargroove mods and maps we've found so far.  How to download Wargroove custom maps  Wargroove doesn't use the Steam Workshop for sharing maps and mods, because it actually has its own built-in map sharing tools that work across the PC and consoles.

From the Share menu you can browse for maps, see what's currently popular, or click Enter Code to download a particular map.

Epic is getting good at not-so-subtly hinting where future Fortnite seasons are headed, and unless we're all being tricked, Season 8 will have a lot to do with water.  The hints have been trickling in for a while now, and with Season 7 at the halfway point, in-game events are likely to start hinting at the future of Fortnite soon.
