The Epic Games Store is coming to Apple devices in Europe, but as usual, it couldn't just happen without some minor fighting between Apple and Epic first. Apple announced the EGS would get the green light in Europe on Friday, per Reuters.

Being a FromSoftware title, Elden Ring has a (well-deserved) reputation for being a hard game. Early on before you’ve found any weapons, upgraded your gear, or leveled up much, the game can feel like a real challenge, so choosing a good starting class can be vital to a smooth experience. There are 10 starting classes to choose from in Elden Ring, each with different starting equipment and stats. Because Elden Ring is such a varied game with so many different paths to choose from (with many different weapon types and several different magic types), it’s hard to choose one single “best” starting class. Choosing your starting class in Elden Ring based on the weapon you plan on using If you’ve planned and know what weapon you intend to grab, it can be a smart move to pick the starting class that gets you closest to that weapon’s stat line. For example, Bloodhound’s Fang is one of the most popular weapons in the game and is available in the very first area. It requires 18 strength and 17 dexterity to wield, so you might choose the Samurai who starts with 12 strength and 15 dexterity and can two-hand wield Bloodhound’s Fang after putting just two points into dexterity. The best all-around starting class in Elden Ring If you’ve never played Elden Ring before and just want to dive in with a balanced starting class that’s good for new players, we’d recommend the Vagabond. Starting with 15 Vigor and 11 Endurance means the Vagabond has the most starting health of any class and a high amount of starting stamina. The Vagabond, a good all-around starting class.
