Fantastic Far Cry Upgrades Could Be Followed Up By More 60FPS Patches From Ubisoft

Strength through unity.Ubisoft has been at it with its back catalogue recently, upgrading the likes of Far Cry 3, The Division and more to play at 60FPS on modern consoles. It doesn't sound like the team is planning to stop there either, as Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson suggests that more of the company's classics could get performance boosts in the coming months.Speaking on a recent episode of Insider Gaming Weekly and shared by our friends at Push Square, Henderson says that he believes older

PS5 was at almost 50% too.With Microsoft's continued console price hikes over the last few years, the team's all-digital offerings have become a more enticing proposition for consumers, and that appears to have reflected in the 2025 console sales split for Xbox Series X|S in the US.Circana's Mat Piscatella has recently shared some "fun facts" about those disc drive vs. digital only console sales comparisons in the region.

Fit and Fry: Organized Chef Review

Ultimately, the only real reason to buy Fit and Fry: Organized Chef is the same as the first game: a massive Gamerscore boost for very little effort; there is almost no discernible difference between the two games, just slightly tweaked and repackaged.

Feature: Why Is Nobody Talking About One Of The Best Xbox Exclusives Of 2025?

This deserves to be a chart-topper.It's becoming rarer than ever to see new Xbox exclusives these days, with Microsoft employing a multiplatform strategy for some of its new releases, but there are still plenty of examples if you go looking for them hard enough.For example, we talked about a game back in December called Rhythm Doctor, which had been in early access on PC for ages but was only now getting a console version — a single console version for Xbox One, Series X and Series S.Read the fu

Feature: Fable Could Finally Be Xbox's Big 'Game Of The Year' Contender, But There's One Problem

Hey, hey I wanna be a rockstar.There's been a long-running narrative for some time now that Xbox never quite seems to make the Game of the Year cut, particularly at The Game Awards showcase that happens each and every December. There's no doubt that Microsoft has produced some great games in recent years, but that big TGA award always seems to allude them. However, after watching through this week's Fable showcase multiple times, we think the team might finally have the game to do it - so long a

Six New Demos Have Been Added To Xbox In 2026 So Far, Including Three Major Ones

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Tides is one of the latest.At some point over the past few months, Xbox has changed how it orders the "Game Demos" section on the Microsoft Store — instead of being sorted by new additions, it's now prioritising the most popular demos at any one time.That's all well and good, and it means a lot of the AAA titles rise to the top, but it's not so great for discoverability. The "new" titles generally fall to the bottom of the list when they first arrive, and then start to ris
