Microsoft X018: Here Are The Six Biggest Announcements

We’ve increased the delay for breath recovery time from one to four seconds. (In other words, when you lift your head up out of the water, it’ll now take four seconds before you begin to recover your bre


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is available now on PC, Xbox One, iOS, and Android. For a closer look at the upcoming changes and additions coming from Update 15 on PC, you can read the full patch notes below, along with several new images and a few vid


In addition to the new skins system in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that will provide players some flexibility in customizing their characters' appearance, the update also introduces some new options for earning cosmetic items through the Triumph and Raider crates. The Triumph crates can only be opened by purchasing a Weapon Cosmetic Key, while the Raider crates can be opened for free from players that earn them in-g


I'm not one for multiplayer especially when it comes to games with stories I want to get invested in. That said because Red Dead Redemption II is such a different experience, I was curious how the game was going to handle onl


Both of those developer are notable within the RPG community - inXile Entertainment for The Bard's Tale IV and Obsidian for Fallout: New Vegas and the Pillars of Eternity series. Considering RPGs were a somewhat malnourished genre within Microsoft's previous first-party lineup, inXile Entertainment and Obsidian are really looking to shake things up with one new IP each for Micros


Microsoft shocked everyone back at E3 2018 when they revealed that they had acquired Playground Games, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, The Initiative, and Compulsion Games , but they were still able to add two more studios to that lineup today: inXile Entertainment and Obsidian Entertainm


Developer PUBG Corps has released patch notes for the latest update of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PC, with update #8 incorporating several notable changes, with the biggest being a brand new weapons skins system that allows players to customize their guns, and the introduction of two new Crates with new cosmetic it


This is why the two games are not a great comparison. On one side, Epic’s battle royale experience is all about close range combat and constructing forts. Whereas pubg News Corporation's rendition revolves around patience, strategy, and close to medium range combat. Your opinion of each game will most likely align with your playstyle. Most people love to run and gun. That is a big reason why Call of Duty sells so incredibly well every year and that is probably why Fortnite exploded. Well, besides it also being f


In addition to the new map, the patch itself also covers a lot of other ground as far as new items, features, and updates. Specifically, the update includes a new weapon exclusive to the Sanhok map in the QBZ95, a new assault rifle that is meant to take the place of the SCA


Fortnite can feel the complete opposite. Don’t get me wrong; the game is fantastic. I see why it has exploded into what it is today. It still never connected with me though. While you will find yourself in a lot more battles in Epic’s rendition of battle royale, I always felt that it was missing some suspense. No matter where you are at in Fortnite , you have cover. Well, unless you do not have any building materials, but that is not to often since you can gather materials from almost every object. Running from town to town usually is not an issue because if an enemy spots you and starts firing, just pop up a few walls and boom, cover! In fact, you can pull an entire fortress out of your pocket at a moment's notice, provided you have the equipment. If I see another player off in the distance, a distance close enough that I can do some damage, I won’t bother because the opponent can erect a tower at the snap of a fin


The menus aren't the only things cluttered in the game. Actually interacting with dressers, tables, and the like can also be frustrating. Let's look at your camp bedside for example. In your space you can sleep, sit, change clothes, interact with pictures and other objects on your nightstand, and shave. All of this is within centimeters of each other and simply turning one direction can change what you can see. Well if you hit the two triggers on PS4, it'll cycle through all available options near you. This saves a lot of t

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Void Bastards, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Ori and the Blind Forest, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Thief of Thieves: Season One, Kingdom: Two Crowns, Aftercharge, Supermarket Shriek, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, Secret Neighbor, Pathologic 2, The Good Life, Agents of Mayhem, MXGP 3, and Thomas Was Alone are all coming to Xbox Game Pass this holi


Video game companies often try to market a companion app for their games. I don't know if they're just trying to cross promote something that will get phone users to generate traffic, or if the developers legitimately got behind this thing as a useful service. Red Dead Redemption II's is on the latter half. It's actually useful, which is something I ignored until my friend messaged me and told me to check it out. It's a great way to use the
