Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass September 2024 Wave 2 lineup, taking subscribers up to the end of this month. Just three games are listed as coming during September’s second wave in Microsoft’s Xbox Wire post, two of which are PC-only strategy games that launch day one on Game Pass, the other a turn-based strategy game released last year. Wargroove 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on September 19; PC strategy game Frostpunk 2 releases as a day one title straight into Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on September 20; and Ara: History Untold on PC launches straight into Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on September 24. Wargroove 2 is Chucklefish’s Advance Wars-style strategy sequel released in 2023. IGN’s Wargroove 2 review returned an 8/10. We said: “Wargroove 2 is still one of the best tributes to Advance Wars out there, and ******* than its predecessor in every way, even though otherwise not much has changed.” Frostpunk 2 is the hotly anticipated city-building survival sequel from 11 But Studios. Check out IGN’s Frostpunk 2 hands-on preview to find out more about what to expect. And Ara: History Untold is Oxide Games’ new turn-based grand strategy Civ-like, published by Xbox Game Studios. September 2024 Wave 2 is the first Game Pass update from Microsoft’s since its controversial introduction of its new Standard Tier, which does not include a number of first-party games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Starfield, and Diablo 4. Microsoft announced the revised Game Pass tiers in July and as of September 12 the changes went into place. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has risen from $16.99 to $19.99 a month and still includes all the typical benefits, but the Xbox Game Pass Standard tier is quite different from its predecessor. It replaces Game Pass for Console (though those already subscribed don't have to upgrade) and includes significantly fewer benefits. Subscribers no longer gain access to day one titles or access to EA Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming, perks, Quests, and discounts on games in the Game Pass library. Microsoft said players would also be denied access to "specific entries to the Game Pass Ultimate library," and that list has now been revealed to be fairly extensive. Xbox Game Pass September 2024 Wave 2 LineupWargroove 2 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – September 19 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game PassFrostpunk 2 (PC) – September 20 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game PassAra: History Untold (PC) – September 24 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass None of the three September 2024 Wave 2 games are included in Xbox Game Pass Standard / Game Pass for Console. Game Pass subscribers don’t get the upcoming Starfield expansion, Shattered Space, either upon its September 30 release date. Instead they can save 10%. Game Pass members do, however, get six hero skins and an instant one-time grant of 30 Mythic prisms to spend on Mythic unlocks in Blizzard’s free-to-play hero shooter Overwatch 2. Microsoft is heavily rumored to be set to reveal a number of Final Fantasy games coming to Xbox consoles and Game Pass during its Tokyo Game Show 2024 broadcast, which is set for Thursday, September 26 at 7pm JST / 3am Pacific / 6am Eastern / 11am ***. Perhaps September will be fleshed out somewhat following the conclusion of the show. Microsoft also confirmed the games leaving Game Pass later this month.

PUBG, Call of Duty Warzone, Warface - many challengers have risen, but none have surpassed Fortnite. Between collaborations, skins, seasons, chapters, and innumerate updates and changes, for the last seven years, Epic's landmark shooter has remained perhaps the biggest videogame - barring maybe Minecraft - in the entire world. Despite all of that success, however, one thing has always been missing. Seemingly a small little tweak, that in other shooters you might take for granted, it could also upturn the entire meta. Nevertheless, in the new update, Epic is finally trying out Fortnite first person - and so can you. Read the rest of the story...

It's quite possible that there has never been a better time to buy a handheld gaming PC, as the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme has just had another $100 drop off its price at Best Buy, meaning it now costs just $549.99, but only for a limited time. Valve also started a Steam Deck ***** last week, meaning two of the best handheld gaming PCs are on ***** right now. In our Asus ROG Ally review, we stated it "challenges the Steam Deck with better specs and enhanced performance", meaning if you want the best performance, at a higher resolution, then the ROG Ally is the handheld for you.

New leaks about Snezhnaya in Genshin Impact have emerged and, despite how detailed they may seem, players may want to take them with a huge grain of salt, as they may be fake or inflated. Snezhnaya is the seventh and final Nation of Teyvat, expected to arrive in HoYoverses action RPG in 2025. The Nation of Cryo is ruled by the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon who has been dispatching her Fatui units and Harbingers to all the corners of Teyvat in order to obtain the Gnoses from the other Archons.

I started playing and enjoying battle royale wizarding sim Spellbreak just in time for Spellbreak to get shut down. Developers Proletariat, Inc announced plans to yank the servers back in August 2022 in the course of being acquired by Activision Blizzard, bringing an end to many happy hours spent skating on conjured ice ramps and hurling boulders around like bunny rabbits. Yes, I am the kind of wizard who hurls a bunny rabbit, if there are no boulders to spare. Happily, it transpires that Proletariat have resurrected their creation and handed it over to posterity in the shape of a free standalone Community Version, [Hidden Content].

As the fastest-selling game in the history of Blizzard Entertainment, Diablo 4 couldn’t have enjoyed a better start. The series has always been more about long-term play, however – Diablo 3 still enjoys a healthy active player count 12 years after its release, after all. Given that the latest entry is once again built with continuous evolution in mind, then, Blizzard is conscious that it can’t rest on its laurels if Diablo 4 is going to come close to having the longevity of its predecessor.

NBA 2K25’s MyCAREER mode gives you complete freedom to choose which team you play for. But if you’re unhappy with your initial choice and wish to request a trade, your options are much more limited. NBA 2K25 throws out the Draft concept altogether and allows you to pick a team for your MyPLAYER to join during character creation. This is a somewhat conflicting approach as the Draft was a pretty big deal in previous iterations of the game, but the main argument for the new system is that you can set yourself up in the perfect environment to succeed. What happens if you get it wrong, though? View the full article For verified travel tips and real support, visit: [Hidden Content]

I don't mean to alarm you, but some Final Fantasy 16 players on PS5 have recently found their nice little playthroughs invaded by large ****** blobs or boxes that threaten to ruin poor Clive's day. No, this isn't some DLC, it looks to be part of some graphical issues that've followed a recent update to the console's firmware, which Sony and Square Enix have said they're looking into. Taking a glance at Reddit or Twitter, you'll find a number of posts with players showing off or talking about problems they've run into. My personal favorite is the clip I've embedded below of someone having to outrun a void that's seemingly decided to chase them around a bit and momentarily ******** Mr Rosfield whole. "The PS5 system update yesterday is causing major graphical bugs in FFXVI during some cutscenes and portions of game play," one player wrote of this particular issue in a tweet, "Bug progresses to blacking out the screen, temporarily receded by opening the active time lore menu."

Baldur's Gate 3 is oozing with characters and scenarios that are almost begging to star in a crossover, but Larian Studio's latest suggestion may not be what fans expect. The massive Dungeons & Dragons RPG took the world by storm in 2023 but one year before it, another indie game that also predominately featured eldritch monsters similarly captivated the hearts of players looking for something unique. The action rogue-like may focus on a completely different set of mechanics, but it doesn't take much to see how a crossover could be plenty of fun. View the full article

The headline is the addition of ray tracing for the first time in either FC or FIFA, the latter of which was EA Sports’ football video game series before the company's high-profile split from the world football governing body in 2022. Alongside ray tracing comes a new graphics mode for FC 25, which gives players the choice between Enhanced Visuals or Favour Resolution. Enhanced Visuals features augmented lighting and graphic details in upscaled 4K resolution, whereas Favour Resolution features standard lighting in native 4K. It’s worth noting both graphical options offer 60 frames per second during gameplay to retain responsiveness. In another first, FC 25 will show time progression during a match.

What is the EA FC 25 soundtrack list? If you can count on EA FC to deliver in one area, it's always its soundtrack. Over the years EA has serenaded us with timeless bangers like Blur's 'Song 2' and '***** it Out' by The Caesars.

Either you didn't know a live-action Ben 10 film was happening, or forgot it was, but any which way it doesn't matter, because it's been canned, seemingly. Ah, Ben 10. You were a fine enough show that mostly survived on the strength of fun alien designs and the 10-year-old-boy power fantasy of being able to turn into a whole universe's worth of aliens, but you've mostly been forgotten about since the 2016 reboot series. There are still plenty of fans of the original series around, but unfortunately for them, it seems like the series is staying asleep for a while longer. Back in 2011, it was reported that Lethal *******, **** Hard, and The Matrix producer Joel Silver would be handling a fully fledged, silver screen live-action film adaptation on the animated series, but 13 years later and it's pretty clear that that isn't happening, made all the more obvious by a comment from its other producer, Steve Richards. While speaking to The Direct at the premiere for Richards' latest film, The *******'s Game, the producer was asked what was happening with the Ben 10 film. "I have to admit, I should update my IMDb," Richards responded. "No. So, when I was working with Joel Silver, we had the rights to that, and, yeah, that expired... But it should get made, right?" That obviously won't be welcome news to those who are still fans of the series, but hey ***, that's the way of Hollywood, unfortunately. Read more View the full article
