  Knockout City Splits from EA, Goes Free-to-Play

  A re-launch of the "dodgebrawl" game comes with some big changes.
  
  Last year, EA and developer Velan Studios launched Knockout City. This rather intense take on the sport of dodgeball was pretty great, but the fact that it came with a price tag meant that it was leaving a lot of potential players on the table.

  Well, EA is apparently...

  Euro Truck Simulator 2's Russia DLC Indefinitely Postponed

  I think we all know why.
  
  Euro Truck Simulator 2 developer SCS Software says that the Heart of Russia DLC that they have been working on is now postponed indefinitely. The studio was working on bringing a large drivable version of Russia into the sim long before Russia invaded Ukraine. As of late February, the team says they were about 6-8 weeks out from completion of this new content.
  
  The studio released a statement explaining their decision, though it probably needs no...

  Xbox Games with Gold for June 2022

  Presumably an $85 value here.
  
  As Game Pass continues to be one of the best deals in gaming, Xbox Live Gold continues to spiral downwards. Well, at least as far as the "free" monthly Game Pass titles are concerned. The games for June 2022 were revealed by Xbox Wire and while they total nearly $85 if purchased separately, you may not personally see the same value here.
  
  There are again four games being offered in June. They are all presumably playable on Xbox One...

  First Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Reveal

  The new open-world Sonic title is coming this year.
