There's word about the bird.Something strange has occurred. If you recall our recent July Xbox Game Pass roundup, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 was set to join its sequel on the subscription service on July 21. However, that no longer appears to be the case.<related ids="203806">Read the full article on purexbox.com
Oh, the cosmic horror.Prepare your butts, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu reviews are in and they're quite mixed.Having spent more than 25 hours with The Mound myself, I can see why its review scores vary from decent to pretty poor. It's worth noting the more favourable reviews tend to be for the PC version. Xbox Series X does an okay job of handling the game (after a lot fiddling with controller settings) but its less powerful sibling, the Xbox Series S, wholly struggles to keep up with the expediti
It won't just be paired with the AR glasses.When ASUS first revealed the ROG Xbox Ally X20 back at the start of June, it was only mentioned to be releasing as part of a bundle with the ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses, but a new statement from the company has now confirmed that it'll be sold standalone as well (as we always expected to be honest!).This is coming from The Verge, which was contacted by an ASUS spokesperson to reveal that the company is working on the release schedule for
Can you stick out your tongue and say "Ahhhh, Xbox Game Pass" please?It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new batch of Xbox Game Pass titles for me, and I'm feeling good enough to pass through a quarantine check. Two games are joining the service today, including a day one release!Today's headliner is, of course, Denshattack!, a bombastic train-hopping monster of a game. However, It's worth noting it won't actually be playable until 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST - still technically today, hey? I

Xbox One couldn't contain the beast.You'll be forgiven if, like us, you'd forgotten that Dying Light: The Beast was originally scheduled to launch on Xbox One following its September 18, 2026 release on Xbox Series X|S. Forgotten or not, Techland's latest zombie romp won't be coming to Xbox One after all, following a cancellation announcement on the developer's socials"Dying Light: The Beast was built from the ground up to take full advantage of current-generation hardware. Its open world, advan

The Coalition promises a "first-class PC experience".For the past few weeks, I've been prepping myself for October's Gears of War: E-Day by plugging away at lots of Gears 5 multiplayer, and more specifically, appreciating just how good it all still looks on Xbox Series X.A lot has changed since The Coalition's 2019 entry received its current-gen enhancements, but perhaps one of the biggest shifts has been how Xbox has continued to build out a proper PC gaming infrastructure.Read the full article

The reviews for Revelations have been absurdly good.Last week, we covered a little bit about the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages - Revelations and how people seemed to be really enjoying it, but we didn't necessarily anticipate that it could be a potential Game of the Year candidate.However, as you may have seen in our Metacritic roundup of the best first-half games of 2026 yesterday, Xbox was crowned with the best game in the form of Forza Horizon 6. That one has a 90 average rating on the platf
But also warns that the outcome "could look very different".We know, we know â it's way too early for anyone to be offering wholly accurate estimations on how well Xbox's Project Helix console and the PS6 will fare when they release at some point over the next few years.There are far too many variables that could alter those potential sales figures in the lead up to launch (features, pricing, etc.), but analysis firm S&P Global Market Intelligence Kagan has nevertheless provided a forecast f
