For those looking to up those stats in Destiny 2: Season of the Splicer, an easy way to do that is to complete high-tier activities. This includes Legendary Lost Sectors, competitive PvP, and Raids. With Vault of Glass making its triumphant return to Destiny 2 with Season of the Splicer, it's time to make that experience just a little more rewarding. For those itching for more ways to score better drops, Vault of Glass Raid challenges are arriving next week. 

Bungie confirmed the challenge drop news over on its latest blog post, confirming that whatever encounter has a unique Challenge Mode active will come with an additional chest as a reward. The catch? You actually have to complete the challenge successfully, so no dipping out, Guardians. 

Vault of Glass is arguably one of the best Raids that Destiny has ever offered between the two games in the franchise. If you had asked me before Beyond Light's release, I would have said it was my favorite, but I think that crown has been taken by the beautiful Deep Stone Crypt Raid instead. 

Also included in the latest update is specific for Gaming Community Expo fans. The GCX showcase is kicking off next week, a community meetup that will be virtual this year from June 17 through June 20. There will be fun times to had but also loot to earn. Bungie has confirmed that it has hidden seven Dead Ghosts throughout the 'space station .' For those who attend and show YouTube footage proving that they've found all seven, there will be a special Emblem reward as a prize. Also, some stuff about being "doooooooomed" and lawyers dropping in to say that Bungie can't say the universe is ending. I don't know; you can check it out yourself right here.

There will also be some charity work going down during next week's event for St. Jude Children's Hospital. The community is once more banding together to raise money for the kids (do it for the children!) while also hosting a special Emblem incentive for any $50 donations. Eris Morn's voice actress, Morla Gorrondona, is also contributing by signing seven Eris Morn statues. For every $7 donation, there is a chance to score one of these collectible items. 

So that's that, Guardians—charity and Vault of Glass Raid challenges. Not a bad week ahead. 

With over a dozen E3-related livestreams hitting in the next few days, all eyes are on new announcements and wondering what games will get released during this holiday season, but let's not forget about the great games we can play now. One of those titles, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order just received a surprise launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and has been updated to take advantage of these powerful machines.

In an official website posting, Respawn details the enhancements, saying both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions will have faster load times, and higher resolution textures and assets. You can also play the game in a new Performance Mode that delivers 60 frames-per-second action in 1440p. If you turn Performance Mode off, it runs at 30 frames-per-second with a boost to 4K. For Xbox Series S, play is locked at 60 frames-per-second in 1080p.

If you already purchased Jedi: Fallen Order on Xbox One or PlayStation 4, you'll receive the cross-generation upgrade for free, and can download it right now. You'll also be able to carry your save over from the previous generation.

EA says that over 20 million players have checked out Jedi: Fallen Order since its November 2019 launch. I reviewed the game when it hit, giving it a score of 8.75 out of 10, and said "Respawn’s maiden voyage with Star Wars is largely a success. I couldn’t put this game down, both for the thrill of exploring and wanting to see where the story took me next. The inspirations taken from Dark Souls, Uncharted, and Metroid Prime unite to create something unique that just happens to work incredibly well for this beloved license. Like most starships in this universe, Jedi: Fallen Order could use a little polish, but the rust doesn’t hold it back from roaring with excitement."

Here's hoping we hear about a sequel or another Repsawn Star Wars game in the days ahead as E3 unfolds.
