This is the end…which incidentally isn’t just a great Seth Rogen and James Franco movie, but also the theme for the final video game schedule post of 2020!

According to the house of Sonic, the lifetime sales of the Yakuza series is now at 14 million copies sold across all titles. The last two years have been particularly impressive, with a 20% growth after the release of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life that saw the series hit the 11 million sales mark back in 2018.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

If you’ve got an Xbox console or an account on PC, chances are you also have an Xbox Game Pass account. Microsoft’s all-you-can-game buffet is stupidly good value for money, a regularly rotating selection of games that aren’t just blasts from the pasts but also features newer releases arriving on launch day as well.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is one of my favourite games of the year, but even I have to admit that after I made the leap from Xbox One X to Xbox Series X with the game, a whole bunch of ugly bugs began popping up and souring an experience I had previously been enjoying for dozens of hours. Take a gander at the forums, and there’s no shortage of complaints either.

Red Dead Online is officially ready to part from the Red Dead Redemption 2 posse and ride solo. The multiplayer add-on to Rockstar’s yeehaw sandbox, Red Dead Online won’t be going free to play but it’ll still be a lot cheaper than the traditional game, if interacting with dodgy online cowboys who all have anime references for names is more to your liking.

Less is more, and Destiny 2: Beyond Light feels like a positive first step towards a new era for the franchise. New Stasis subclasses, a compelling storyline, and a gorgeous new planet to explore make for an intriguing new direction for Bungie’s cosmic sandbox.

Ahead of its December 10 release that is definitely still happening, CD Projekt Red has unloaded a whole new set of updated PC requirements for Cyberpunk 2077 that detail the bare minimum needed to get it running, and which family members you’d need to sell to the organ as spare livestock feed to get the game running on ultra settings.
