Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition
An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.
It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

More Permanent Playlists are Coming to Halo Infinite Multiplayer
Some franchise mainstays will be returning to the game.
Halo Infinite's multiplayer is quite good, but it's certainly not without some faults. One of those issues that isn't the Battle Pass progression system, is the fact that the game shipped with only a few game modes. Fans have been more than eager for the return of modes like free-for-all (FFA) and SWAT.
Thankfully, those modes and more will be coming to Halo Infinite. A Twitter post by 343 Industries community manager... -
