PlayStation 5 Pro To Get 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bundle

The PlayStation is approaching its 30th anniversary of the first PlayStation console, and Hideaki Nishino on the PlayStation blog has announced that there will be a PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection. The aesthetic is that of the PlayStation 1 and pays homage to the console that launched on December 3, 1994. The collection will be sold in "highly limited supply," as the consoles won't only just come with the limited edition skin but will come with original PlayStation controller-style cable housing, a sticker, and a Paperclip, as an example. Not only will the PlayStation 5 Pro get this bundle, but the […]

Lords of the Fallen and Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 Confirmed to Be Coming to Game Pass

In a press release published on the Polish financial website Bankier.pl, CI Games confirmed to have reached an agreement with Microsoft to bring Lords of the Fallen and Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 to Game Pass. Three days ago, we posted a rumor about the first game going to Microsoft's subscription service. Looking at the document, that's the exact date when the two companies signed the agreement. Released in October 2023, the Unreal Engine 5 powered Soulslike game quickly got to the milestone of one million units sold, though sales later slowed down, possibly on the heels of the mixed […]

Manor Lords is the Latest Indie Hit, Reaching 160,000 Concurrent Steam Players on Day 1

Excitement has been slowly building for Manor Lords, a unique Middle-Ages-set combination of city building and real-time-strategy, for some time now, and now it seems it’s the latest big indie success. Manor Lords launched into early access today, and peaked at just a hair shy of 160,000 concurrent players on Steam, good for a top 5 place on the charts, even displacing the suddenly-hot Fallout 4 at times. It’s also the top-seller on Steam right now. And these stats don’t capture the whole picture, as Manor Lords isn’t a Steam exclusive – it’s also available via Game Pass on PC […]

Manor Lords Gets Game Ready Driver + DLSS 2 Support and Will Be on Game Pass

Manor Lords is currently the most wishlisted game on Steam ahead of games like Hades II and Black Myth: Wukong, having surpassed two million wishlists earlier this year. There's obviously a lot of hype for this upcoming medieval indie strategy game, which likely explains why NVIDIA has already released a Game Ready driver optimized for it ten days before the early access launch date. You can download Game Ready driver 552.22 now via the NVIDIA app beta, GeForce Experience, or GeForce.com. The driver is also optimized for No Rest for the Wicked by Moon Studios (which launches on Steam Early […]

Game Pass Will Get to 200 Million Subs in 10 Years, Bets Michael Pachter; Exclusivity Model Is Wrong

In the latest episode of Pachter Factor, Wedbush Securities Analyst Michael Pachter made some interesting statements on Game Pass, starting with the reported subscriber figure. According to him, Microsoft is not actually counting Game Pass Core (formerly Xbox Live Gold) members in the 34 million subscribers. Pachter also made a bet with any viewers that the subscription service would go all the way up to 200 million. That's twice his previous prediction, albeit this time he specified he is referring to a time frame of ten years. Their Xbox Live Gold membership was 50 million. Their Game Pass subscription number […]

Xbox Reportedly “Flatlining” in Europe, Publishers Question Support, More PS5 Ports Coming

While Microsoft has tried to put a happy face on things, the future of Xbox – at least Xbox as a distinct brand with its own hardware and exclusives – has never been more in question. Last month Microsoft tried to calm worries with an Xbox Business Update, in which they revealed several older, smaller-scale games were going multiplatform, but that others, like Starfield, aren’t for now. Furthermore, they vowed to continue working on new hardware which will, apparently, deliver the “largest technical leap ever” (how they plan to deliver on that boast, I don’t know). That all sounds good, […]

Xbox Game Pass Adds MLB The Show 24, Control Ultimate Edition, and More in Early March

Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in early-to-mid March, and there’s a decent array of stuff to choose from. The headliner is Sony’s own MLB The Show 24, and as in the past couple years, Xbox owners actually get a better deal on the game (it won’t be on PS Plus on Day 1). Those who buy the Digital Deluxe Add-on can even get in on the MLB The Show 24 early access period via Game Pass. Subscribers can also look forward to a few more solid options, includng Control […]

Dead Island 2 Has Been Shadow-Dropped on Xbox Game Pass

Dead Island 2 has been shadow-dropped on Xbox Game Pass, and is available for download as we speak. Earlier this month, Microsoft confirmed the arrival of various new titles on its subscription service. Among those games were Tales of Arise as well as the magnificent Resident Evil 3 Remake, NFL24, and various others. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and we now have another splendid game being added to Game Pass - 2023's Dead Island 2. The game suddenly showed up as "recently added" without any official announcement from Microsoft or publisher Plaion/Deep Silver. Dead Island 2 is a great […]

Xbox Game Pass Adds Tales of Arise, Bluey, Madden NFL 24 for Cloud, More in Late February

Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in late February and very early March, and it’s a varied lineup. Madden NFL 24 released on Game Pass earlier this month, but now it can be played via the cloud. Players can also look forward to Bandai Namco RPG Tales of Arise, Warhammer 40K: Bolt Gun, and more. Of course, if you have kids, your Xbox will likely be monopolized by them playing Bluey: The Video Game. Here are your headliner Game Pass titles for the next couple of weeks: Tales of Arise […]

Xbox Cloud Gaming Isn’t Coming to iOS due to Apple’s Restrictions; Spencer Says Game Pass Isn’t Discrete Focus

Following yesterday's Xbox Business update, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer provided extra details on what gamers can expect in an interview with The Verge. Journalist Tom Warren asked whether Microsoft would try to bring a proper Xbox Cloud Gaming app to iOS now that Apple has been forced to open up the store in Europe following the arrival of the Digital Markets Act. Apple had also recently eased the requirements for game streaming apps on iOS. Whereas developers had to submit individual apps for each game included, that's no longer the case. Still, Spencer replied that's not happening due to […]

Two Great, Bloody Action Games Are Hitting Game Pass This Week

This week love is in the air, but so are monstrous demons, brain-dead zombies, sword-swinging heroes, and plenty of gunfire. If you’re a Game Pass subscriber, you’ll be able to download 2020’s remake of Resident Evil 3 on February 13, and Bloodstained:...

Visions of Mana is Not A Day 1 Game Pass Release, Xbox Website Saying So Was an “Error”

During the latest Xbox Developer Direct the upcoming Visions of Mana made a surprise appearance, ultimately taking up several minutes of the showcase and hinting maybe Microsoft and Square Enix were working closely to promote the game. Then, eagle-eyed fans noticed a number of references to Visions of Mana being a Day 1 Game Pass release on the Xbox store and website, which made a certain amount of sense given the Xbox Direct appearance. Ah, but don't get too excited just yet Game Pass subscribers. Eurogamer reached out to Microsoft about the status of Visions of Mana, and, apparently, the […]
