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.

The biggest addition included in the Master of Fate update is an Advanced Game Modifier system that allows players to alter the experience using seven different modifiers, which are fully detailed below.

The world progression is reset, but player progression and inventory is retained. Certain scripted moments are excluded […]

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for October, and it was a bit of an up-and-down kickoff to the holiday season. Players spent $4 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in October, a 5 percent year-on-year decrease. The PlayStation 5 was the #1 console, followed by Switch and Xbox Series X/S, but hardware sales were down 23 percent year on year, with all consoles experiencing a double-digit decline in business. On the software front, there were winners and losers – Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was #1 with a bullet, selling twice […]
