According to a new report, July 24 could be a massive day for Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft's subscription service offers players hundreds of titles from both its first-party studios and others, and depending on the tier players are subscribed to — a change that was recently implemented alongside a price increase — they'll also be able to access some titles upon their original release date.
Ubisoft has put significant effort into ensuring Assassin's Creed Shadows is an immersive and respectful representation of Feudal Japan, but the game was never meant to be a factual representation of history or historical characters.
Microsoft has one last surprise before the release of Deadpool and Wolverineon Friday: a Wolverine Butt controller to match the Deadpool one it announced last week. It looks just like the red one, complete with a prominent backside, except it’s yellow and blue, and it has fake pockets.
Warner Bros. just announced the acquisition of Player First Games, the developer behind the popular free-to-play platform fighter MultiVersus. This makes a whole lot of sense as the hit Smash Bros-esque brawler pulls its entire roster from WB properties. The game includes characters like Batman, Bugs Bunny, Agent Smith from The Matrix and, of course, both Rick and Morty.
Xbox Game Pass' recent restructuring has not been well received by many, but Microsoft may be looking for a way to win back some customers. On July 10, it was announced that Xbox Game Pass for Console would be closing for new customers, forcing those on Xbox consoles to either subscribe to the most expensive tier, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate — which also includes PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming — or subscribe to a new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier that doesn't include day-one releases, something that was a major selling point for the subscription. To make matters worse, all other tiers — including Ultimate — increased in price.
To celebrate the release of the upcoming movie — which sees Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their roles as the titular mutants as they go on a multiverse-spanning adventure that brings them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Xbox has been revealing custom Xbox Series X consoles and controllers as part of its latest sweepstakes. Over the years, this has become a common trend as Xbox has teamed up with various studios to promote movies, TV shows, or games, but the new promotion, in particular, has something that sets it apart.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently filed a new complaint against Microsoft to the US Court of Appeals for their recent Xbox Game Pass price hike, as this is precisely what the FTC was trying to avoid with the acquisition. However, since the complaint raised by Imad Aybad has been sent forward to the US Court of Appeals, Microsoft has spoken out and said that they disagree with the claims made by the FTC.
Perhaps the most unexpected announcement at EVO 2024 was the reveal that 2003’s SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos is being re-released. Not only does this make it available on modern platforms with new bells and whistles, but you can play it right now.
