When Xbox launched Xbox Game Pass in June of 2017, players were understandably shocked at the concept. The idea was simple: players have a subscription where they have access to over 100 games, including first-party Xbox titles, that can be downloaded and played whenever they want.

Almost four years after its theatrical cut, Zack Snyder’s Justice League finally released last week on HBO Max after a long, tumultuous journey. One thing that fans noticed immediately was the lack of a digital shave on Henry Cavill’s Superman. For years, the CGI removal of Cavill’s mustache has been a reason for DC fans to mock 2017’s Justice League and it seems like Snyder has been aware of it all along....

Even though Season 5 is barely a week in, we here at TheGamer can’t help but wonder who Apex’s next hero will be....
