After drumming up a decent amount of excitement in the final months before launch (a stark contrast to the skepticism it was met with after playtests last year) Marathon has burst onto the extraction shooter scene with plenty of glowing endorsements. However, while we don’t officially know what constitutes a success in Bungie and Sony’s eyes, it’s not drawing in the same kind of crowds as Arc Raiders does, for example.

Crimson Desert has long had its optimistic fans – those that play its MMO predecessor, Black Desert Online, for example. But in recent months, it feels like everyone’s squeezed aboard the Crimson Desert hype train – its scale, visuals, deep combat offering, and decision to make it a huge, MMORPG-lite single-player game has seen interest snowball. While I’ve still got my reservations about the overcomplicated control scheme Jamie encountered when he previewed it last year, it seems pretty nailed on to be one of this year’s biggest new releases. However, just a week out from launch, some PC players may…

Microsoft has certainly been keen to impress at this year’s GDC, laying out its vision for Xbox’s future during its Developer Summit keynote.
