When Microsoft announced the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, many gamers applauded the company for providing a decent portion of titles to play at its inception for a relatively low cost of $10 per month. Now, the tech company’s “Netflix for video games” continues to expand its catalog by adding a handful of solid games to the service this month that include Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and more....

Microsoft is constantly adding new content to Xbox Game Pass, but like other streaming services, sometimes content is removed as well. Luckily for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, content is usually added more than it is removed, and that is the case with the service in February 2021, as only four games are being removed from the service this month. Three games are being removed for Xbox Game Pass subscribers on console, while one is being removed for PC players....

The idea of multiplayer matchmaking has always been an imperfect science. Matching players with similarly skilled opponents oftentimes doesn’t work as intended, or it doesn’t work at all. Microsoft is hoping to change that with the Xbox One’s reputation system. This new Xbox One-specific feature will reportedly pair players in a more accurate fashion. However, the new reputation system won’t focus on matching similarly skilled players, but rather it will try to match the good-natured players with other good-natured players, and the trolls with other trolls....

Microsoft has been trying to make player access to the Xbox game library easier with Xbox Game Pass and the push for backward compatibility. This also includes the implementation of the Xbox cloud save feature for the Xbox Series X/S, as well as the upcoming xCloud streaming service. However, one of the Xbox’s oldest features is still usable to play multiplayer games on all console generations. A recent video from Modern Vintage Gamer shows the Xbox System Link feature can let people play multiplayer games across all four console generations....

Minecraft players have been known to build some wild things using redstone. Over the course of the game’s decade-long history, people have built working computers, calculators, whole songs, and just about anything else you can imagine. Xbox took it all a step further, though, and threw down the gauntlet, challenging players to build an Xbox Series X and S in Minecraft. Minecraft is a game that allows you to do just about anything that you want....

As shown in Thursday’s Nintendo Direct Mini, Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition will be coming out in about two months. Further, while there’s plenty to be excited about in the mere fact that it can soon be experienced or re-experienced on the Nintendo Switch, many will be thrilled to know that Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition’s epilogue will be available to play from the start, according to Destructoid. The epilogue in question is titled “Future Connected,” and it shows players what Shulk and Melia are up to following the events of Xenoblade Chronicles....

This article contains some Wonder Woman 1984 spoilers. While the bellwether day-and-date HBO Max release of Wonder Woman 1984 left audiences divided, there can be no question that the sequel’s storyline reinforced writer/director Patty Jenkins’s vision for Gal Gadot’s version of the DC Comics heroine, reflecting ideals of compassion and mercy with pathological nuance. However, shockingly vicious imagery from an early concept photo displayed by the character’s first directorial steward, Zack Snyder, presents a stark contrast to her current ethos of unbridled optimism....

As one of the most iconic fighting game franchises ever conceived, there’s understandably a lot of excitement surrounding the imminent release of Street Fight 5.

While the roster itself will be made up of 16 characters at launch, many are starting to wonder if their favorite veterans will make the cut....

12 Aries - Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai Aries is the first sign in the zodiac and the first of the fire signs. Their positions make them take charge, with the desire to be the “first”. That firey determination often leads them to jump into things headfirst, without really thinking of the consequences. The Trap card Spiritual Fire Art- Kurenai is a good representation of that “head-first” spirit, as you can use it to tribute 1 Fire monster and inflict damage equal to the tributed monster’s original attack....

Sites affected by the Fastly outage The reason behind the internet outage is due to Fastly, a cloud computing services provider that many of the sites use. Fastly runs an “edge cloud” which speeds up loading times and helps keep traffic under control, as well as protecting from denial-of-service attacks. Because of how Fastly works by sitting between the site and users, the service going offline could potentially take the site down altogether and prevent access, which is what has happened today....

Noomi Rapace has been waiting for Lamb all her life. That’s how she describes the new pseudo-folk horror being released by A24 this week: something close to kismet. The film’s first-time director and co-writer, Valdimar Jóhannsson, had even crossed paths with Rapace before this movie, back when he did special effects work on Prometheus (2012) in his native Iceland. Yet it was only after she really got to know Jóhannssson nearly a full decade later, and once he showed up at her door with a drawing for a creature who was half-lamb and half-human, that she felt the touch of destiny....

Windigo, an organization no longer in operation, has only now confirmed that its former players have received their share of a $500,000 prize pool from the WESG Finals held in 2018. Speaking to HLTV.org, Artur Yermolayev, a founder and owner of Windigo, described how he was happy that the issue had finally be settled in a positive way....

The Games With Gold April 2021 lineup has been announced by Microsoft, offering up four aging titles – including Vikings: Wolves of Midgard and Dark Void. While none of the games took the world by storm when they first launched, one of the four is bound to catch your eye and give you a way to bide time during the slow part of the gaming calendar. Here are the titles included in Games With Gold for April 2021:...

When the Xbox Series S was first announced, many wondered about Microsoft’s decision to release a less-powerful next-generation console alongside the Xbox Series X, especially since Sony is only focused on releasing a single console. It is worth noting that while there are two versions of the PS5, the only main difference is that one is an all-digital system, while the other accommodates discs. However, the same cannot be said with the Xbox Series S and Series X, given that the latter is considered less powerful, although both versions will be able to play the same games....
