As the dedicated News Editor I am, I tuned into all of Summer Game Fest’s major showcases this year. Wolverine stunned me at State of Play; Stranger Than Heaven’s post-war Japan infected me with its smooth jazz and contemporary style. Guild Wars 3 exists; nuff said. Yet, a part of me was holding out for the Xbox Games Showcase – partly because Microsoft now owns Activision Blizzard, the developer behind most of my favorite videogames, but also because I suspected we’d see a little bit more of Fable. In many ways, it delivered – Spyro, Halo, and most importantly, Natasia…
The official Xbox YouTube account has pulled a Gears of War: E-Day video after it was discovered it featured a PS5 logo.The Xbox Podcast deep dive on E-Day was published on Monday and briefly featured a version of the latest trailer that incorrectly stated that the game was coming to Sony’s console.On Sunday, Xbox announced the new Gears of War as an Xbox console exclusive, in a pivot away from its recent multiplatform strategy.The PS5 logo slip-up in the Xbox podcast seems to support claims that the decision to make Gears an Xbox-only game was made at the last minute…
Amid a major “reset” for Xbox under new CEO Asha Sharma, Game Pass prices have dropped dramatically in recent months, following what was apparently a blistering blow back from October’s 50% subscription price hike. During a talk at Summer Game Fest 2026, hosted by The Game Business’ Christopher Dring and attended by GamesRadar+, Xbox’s chief strategy officer Matthew Ball shared a shocking insight into the negative impact Game Pass suffered following that price increase: apparently, “millions of subscribers” were lost.The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley took to Twitter to share this small snippet from Ball’s SGF talk, in which the…
The idea of a loot train has never seemed so real. Forget the grand open worlds that can quickly divide a squad of friends, Enginefall brings a lick of natural linearity back to the survival crafting genre. Set in the confines of colossal megatrains after a catastrophic worldwide event, Red Rover Interactive’s survival shooter forces you not into a race across the world, but a mad dash to the front of grand locomotives and rocking rust buckets as civilization teeters on collapse. Craft your way onto the tail-end of a train, then blast a path to First Class and the…
Exodus from developer Archetype Entertainment, under Wizards of the Coast, is playing with familiar ingredients in hopes to create something entirely new. It’s not as if there’s never been a spacefaring sci-fi shooter RPG before, and Exodus has certainly earned the Mass Effect comparisons thanks to the similar medium and genre on top of its developer backgrounds.But it is very much its own thing, and exists beyond those comparisons. While Exodus isn’t releasing until at least 2027, the developers recently invited us to come and see for ourselves – which made the perfect opportunity to ask: What is Exodus, exactly?…
Last week, Amazon gaming general manager Jeff Gattis rather put the cat amongst the pigeons when talking about James Bond’s future in games now IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is out. He was cited by Polygon as having said that, since they’ll be happening post-Amazon’s acquisition of the full Bond rights, any follow-up would be “done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios”. When asked about Gattis’ comments, Amazon were quick to declare that it’s “still too early to discuss future projects”. Now, Gattis himself has claimed that he never confirmed Amazon Game Studios would be publishing the next…
Keep up with redeeming these new Spin a Femboy codes, and you’ll generate fat stacks of cash faster than ever before. They’re already money-printing machines in their own right, but who are you to pass up an extra revenue stream in this economy? Spin a Femboy, well… spins the idea of an idle collection tycoon game on its pink-haired head. Rather than amassing a collection of burly (and sometimes stretchy) anime characters to display like action figures seemingly capable of siphoning cash from the earth, this one has you assemble a harem of cute and cuddly guys instead. The end…
Summing up Xbox’s Games Showcase 2026 lineup, chief strategy officer Matthew Ball says new CEO Asha Sharma has communicated that “our business today is not healthy” and part of “turning around the business” is establishing a new plan for exclusive games.Speaking at a Summer Game Fest panel attended by GamesRadar+, Ball explains his interactions with Sharma, who he describes as a capable and motivated leader. “I came to really like Asha, really believe in her as a leader overall and as a leader for Xbox,” he says.Asked about Xbox’s new approach to exclusivity following conflicting announcements at Summer Game Fest…
A mass of flailing fingers flop against my desk. I’m doing badly at playing cartoony roguelike shooter Maximum Thunderness with a controller. The fact I’m trying to play its demo on mouse and keyboard at the same time, in order to appreciate the co-op element of the game’s battles with skateboarding aliens, probably isn’t helping. In fact, it almost certainly isn’t.
If you like the sort of game that actively plays itself, toss in these Portal Keeper codes, and you’ll be swimming in free rewards, including the good stuff you’ll need to enchant your favorite weapons. Leave them to expire, and you’ll have to put in some serious time to earn what was once only a few clicks away. Remember: this is an idle management game, not an action RPG. Though it looks a little like Diablo, Torchlight, or even Minecraft Dungeons, the game description will write home that it’s not quite what its main illustration would suggest. Confusing, right? Here…
