From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast.

Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...

    Tekken Ball Announced for Tekken 8

    Over a decade later, the fan-favorite mode returns.

    A mini-game that ended up being a surprise hit with Tekken fans, Tekken Ball, is coming back in Tekken 8. The game mode first appeared in 1998's Tekken 3. It returned only once more in 2012's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the Wii U.

    How to Get Your Fortnite Refunds via the FTC

    The FTC invites players to get their money back.

    Fortnite players are now able to submit for a refund due to unwanted in-game purchases that were made between January 2017 and September 2022. This is all due to the $245 million settlement between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Epic Games.

    That settlement itself was part of a larger settlement from December 2022 between the FTC and Epic Games. It was that $520 million December 2022 settlement that found Epic Games...

    Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Goes Gold

    It's still on track for its October release.

    "Going gold" announcements are kind of a nebulous thing in these digital days, but sometimes it's still nice to hear that a game is on track and ready for release. As such, Insomniac Games announced today that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has gone gold.

    This means that the game is finished and ready to be released. This doesn't rule out a day one patch or anything of course.

    Xbox's Phil Spencer Addresses Recent Leaks

    Oh, you thought we were done with this? Ha.

    Microsoft had a major spotlight shown on them today after several court documents made their way online via a little whoopsie by Microsoft themselves. We had the mid-gen Series X|S refresh info, Bethesda's release schedule, next-gen Xbox, and even word that Phil Spencer wanted to buy Nintendo and other studios.

    There were even some leaks we didn't share with you today. Leaks like how Microsoft was (or is) planning a mouse and...

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.

    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...

    Payday 3 Early Access Begins

    If you paid more, you can play right now.

    Those who bought the Silver or Gold editions of Payday 3 are able to start playing right now, a whole three days ahead of its "official" release on September 21. This Early Access release of Payday 3 does grant full access to the game ahead of the 21st. Meaning that if you and three buddies all bought the more expensive versions of the game, you could be heisting right this second.

    The reveal comes from Microsoft themselves.

    The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be coming any time soon, according to Microsoft's own documents. Not only the next Elder Scrolls title still several years away, it looks like it won't be headed to the PlayStation 5 (or whatever PlayStation is out at the time of release).
