Xbox Series X News

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden came out this week. We received a review copy of the game and have been playing it. While our review isn’t ready yet, we did want to share our impressions of the game so far. Here are our thoughts on Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden for the Xbox Series S. I’ve been playing Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden for review. I just got the game this week and I’m still early in it, but I…

The colorful, physics-defying madness of Stumble Guys has finally landed on Xbox, bringing its brand of chaotic multiplayer fun to a new audience. But how does this mobile and PC phenomenon translate to the console experience? After some stumbles (get it?), here are my initial impressions: The Good: Party Time at the Last Man Standing: The core gameplay loop remains addictive: survive increasingly wacky obstacle courses, eliminate your opponents through hilarious mishaps, and emerge victorious (well, at least until the…

Four Xbox will come to PlayStation, Game Pass will continue getting day one releases and the next Xbox will be the “biggest generational leap yet”. Those were all announcements at the Xbox business update podcast, and it was fair and well-explained. And while they stopped short of saying which four Xbox games would be jumping ship – pun intended – they also refused to rule out future releases. This is testing the waters. It’s still a risk that they’ve not…

Four Xbox games will be coming to PlayStation and Switch, it has been announced. The games, which haven’t been officially named, will be announced in the not too distant future. Although the names haven’t been named, Xbox boss Phil Spencer confirmed that it will not be Starfield or Indiana Jones. It came during an official podcast, labelled a “business update” and promising to explore the future of Xbox. Thousands of people watched the video, which launched at 8pm this evening.…

As odd as it might seem, we’ll learn about the future of Xbox through a podcast on Thursday evening. That’s how these things are done now. Gone are the days of corporate press releases and obviously carefully edited talking head videos, replaced with a less obviously stage managed video roundtable. And this isn’t a bad thing. It means we’re going to get the words directly from the horse’s mouth. And those words had better be near perfect. For those not…

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is out today for Playstation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. Check out the launch trailer below. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is out today (2/13). Its availabe on the Xbox Series, PC, and Playstation 5. We just received a review code for the game (on Xbox Series) today and will provide a review as soon as possible. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden looks pretty cool. Will you be checking it out?…

It’s been fascinating to watch the fallout from the Xbox third party rumours this week. But what’s been more fascinating is Microsoft’s complete lack of response to them. The gaming community has hit fever pitch. If I wrote an article about how the next Xbox was going to charge you per hour of gaming time, it’d get picked up and shared by people desperate for any bit of negative news. It would be treated as fact. For context, this is…

New Eden. 1695. There’s a curse and ghosts are everywhere. Banishers are out and about trying to figure out whats going on and getting rid of the ghosts too. Welcome to Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. The game is coming out next week and I just heard about it. Let’s talk about this game! I was on Twitter (yes I still call it Twitter) and the amazing Bex, reviewer and gamer, mentioned that they were going to review a game…

Persona 3 Reload came out on Friday and I’ve been playing it over the weekend. Here are my first impressions of the game. Persona 3 Reload is fantastic so far. The story is pretty intriguing: there is a mysterious hour called The Dark Hour that starts at midnight. During that time, most people turn into coffins and monsters roam the land. Also a tower pops up where normally there’s a school. A group called S.E.E.S. combats the monsters and wants…

Xbox look set to release all of their games onto PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, and in the very near future. And despite a large amount of theorising, that’s about all we know. But that is bad enough. This is very much a breaking news story, and I held off writing anything in the hopes that Microsoft were sensible enough to put out an official statement overnight. But it hasn’t happened. A variety of leakers and insiders have confirmed separately that…
