The PlayStation 5 Pro could be the best place to play multiplatform games with bad PC ports that suffer from a variety of issues, including bad image quality with certain upscalers and stuttering issues. Speaking during the latest episode of their weekly podcast, the tech experts at Digital Foundry commented on the soon-to-be-released mid-generation refresh hardware from Sony, highlighting how the system could be a sort of "nuclear option" to enjoy multiplatform games with bad PC ports thanks to the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler which will likely be used over AMD FSR in the vast majority of games, as […]

The technical differences between PlayStation and Xbox consoles are so negligible nowadays that one standard home console would benefit games more than the current platform war between Sony and Microsoft, according to a former PlayStation head. Speaking during a panel held during IGN Live 2024 regarding where we will be playing games in the future, former PlayStation head Shawn Layden commented on the platform war between Sony and Microsoft, saying that if we got it out of the way and had one standard home console, games would be better. Nowadays, technical differences between PlayStation and Xbox are negligible, as both […]
This year's Xbox Game Showcase saw Microsoft delivering one of the best shows ever, thanks to the sheer breadth of triple-A games it presented across its various divisions (Xbox Game Studios, ZeniMax, and Activision Blizzard).

He also said Microsoft has a great lineup for both Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 and is poised to deliver another awesome showcase […]
Microsoft has issued an official statement about the recent Xbox Black Myth Wukong delay. The Xbox Series X and Series S versions of Game Science's highly-anticipated Black Myth Wukong were recently delayed.

"We are currently optimizing the Xbox Series X|S version to meet our quality standards, so it won't release simultaneously with the other platforms. We apologize for the delay and aim […]
Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox will attend Gamescom 2024 with the "biggest booth" to date. Yesterday, like previous years, Sony seemingly confirmed that PlayStation will be skipping the annual gaming event in Germany. Back in April of this year, Nintendo already confirmed that it won't be attending the event either. Luckily for fans, however, Xbox will be present during the event this August, and according to the official Xbox X account, the Xbox team will have the "biggest booth yet". While additional details about Microsoft's presence during the event will likely be shared later on, we already got a glimpse […]
Microsoft is now seemingly offering Redfall refunds for the Xbox and Steam version of the game's 'Bite Back' edition. Last month, to the surprise (and anger) of many, Microsoft announced the closure of various first-party studios, including Tango Gameworks, several Bethesda Softworks studios, and Arkane Austin - the developer behind last year's Redfall. Redfall launched with various editions, including the 'Bite Back' edition (both digital and physical), which included access to two upcoming heroes. As most of you will know, Redfall didn't have the best launch, and following the recent closure of Arkane Austin, the promised new heroes never saw […]
Starfield on Xbox Series S is a surprisingly solid experience. However, Bethesda’s massive open-world space RPG is locked to 30 FPS on Xbox’s cheaper and less powerful console. But with some new fan-developed mods, Starfield can hit 60 or even 120 FPS ...
