The wait for Call of Duty Modern Warfare III on Microsoft's Game Pass subscription service is nearly over, at least according to a new report from insider Tom Henderson. The report says the game will be added to the library later this month and goes on to state that the original plan was to announce it alongside the Game Pass price increase news that was shared a few hours ago, likely in an attempt to soften the blow. The official announcement may come later today.
Intel's Arrow Lake-S "Core Ultra 200" Desktop CPUs are now rumored to launch in December which will be five months after AMD's Ryzen 9000 release.
Microsoft has reportedly decided not to continue to market Xbox Consoles in EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), focusing solely on marketing Game Pass, controllers, and its Cloud feature instead. This consideration comes after they announced that they are hiking up Game Pass prices, which has caused a huge stir in the gaming community.
Escape From Tarkov has had problems with cheaters pretty much from the start, but despite being vocal about its efforts to rid the game of their influence—and occasionally referring to cheaters as "scum of the Earth"—some players aren't convinced that developer Battlestate Games is all that serious about dealing with the problem. A new anti-cheat effort rolled out in the latest patch might change some minds on that front: The studio is now offering «compensation for reporting players who violated game rules»—in other words, a bounty on cheaters.
South Korean Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has finalized its IPO (initial public offering), which turned out to be highly successful. As reported by Bloomberg, Shift Up raised $320 million (435 billion won, the local currency), the largest amount a gaming firm gathered during an IPO in almost three years. Back then, Krafton (maker of PUBG) raised $3.8 billion in its IPO. It's also the largest IPO in South Korea across all sectors since HD Hyundai Marine Solution in May.
A few years back, I was invited to meet with Apple about its new push into gaming. The company wouldn’t show me a flashy new product to enable that. Instead, it showed me something more modest: No Man’s Sky running smoothly on a MacBook. It looked great, but it wasn’t exactly earth-shattering. It was an independent game from 2016 running on a laptop as well as it had already been running for years on other PCs. I got the sense that I wasn’t there to cover a big development in tech, but rather to see a proof of concept that had bigger plans attached.
