With a sexy appearance, capable hardware and its chunky SSD technology, the Xbox Series S is a fascinating companion to the Xbox Series X and one that finds its own balance between quality and quantity gaming.

One of the draws of the Xbox brand is how it has a heck of a lot of games available on it from a bygone era. Backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 and original Xbox games was a big deal when it was announced several years ago at E3 by Xboss Phil Spencer, and since then Microsoft has continued to add classic games to the Xbox One and Xbox Series X system at a steady clip.

Activision Blizzard’s premiere pew pew franchise is almost upon us, and just like last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it’s going to be an absolute unit to download. You’ll be able to start pre-loading Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War November 5 on PS4 and Xbox One, from November 10 on PC and Xbox Series X, and November 12 on PS5.

Many of you will probably offload your old consoles before moving to next-gen, and that’s great! But please, before you do…clean your damn controllers.

Two years after Bethesda revealed its new Starfield IP at E3, the one bit of concrete information that everyone has on the game is that it’s still going to be a while before we see it released. And I‘d bet easy money that it arrives long before Star Citizen finally does HEY-OH! The teaser seen so far has been just that: An absolute tease. Bethesda’s big cheese Todd Howard did have a few more details to share on the game in a recent interview with GameIndustry.biz (via Reddit) during the Brighton Digital Conference. Here’s a breakdown on what he had to say.

Devil May Cry 5 was a balls-to-the-wall action game that pretty much defined 2019 for me, and in a few days it’ll be getting even ballsier with said wall when its special edition releases on next-gen consoles. All the S-rank bells and whistles are there on top of a game that pretty much looked like next-gen stuff when it first arrived: Ray tracing, 4K resolution, and a frame-rate mode that can run from glorious 60 to 120 frames per second. This game is literally why I’m buying a new TV.

It’s Friday! It’s just past 7 on the PM and it’s time to hunt for everybody’s favourite Agent of the Nine. Y’know, that Xur fella what sells the best guns and armour in Destiny 2. Destiny 2: Forsaken has restored Xur back to his mysterious roots, as the dealer of Exotic gear is now waiting to be discovered when he …

Borderlands 3 has just wrapped up its first season of content, but unlike previous games in the series, developer Gearbox is far from done with its loot ‘n shooter. No lengthy gap between sequels where nothing happens for this one save for Gearbox’s top brass being implicated in yet another scandal! The big new feature coming to Borderlands 3 is Arms Race, which basically turns it into a rogue-like game. And definitely not a battle royale, thank the non-refunding Marcus gun-gods.
