Xbox Live outages don’t happen often, but they’re a major inconvenience when they do. Without an internet connection, players can’t enjoy online games, buy new content, or download anything. It’s particularly frustrating that an outage occurred today, coinciding with the launch of highly anticipated games like The Outer Worlds 2 and Battlefield: REDSEC.
Players who’ve spent a lot of time in games like Warzone understand the importance of building the best weapon setup. Early in a battle royale, you’re usually stuck with whatever weapons you can find. So, getting to choose your own weapons is a big advantage – it’s a strategic choice based on what you think you’ll need. You might pack a rocket launcher for vehicles or a shotgun for close-range fights. However, one particular weapon combination consistently proves to be the most effective. And now, in Battlefield 6’s RedSec, that same reliable setup is still the best choice.

Okay, so I’ve been checking out what the critics are saying about The Outer Worlds 2, and it sounds awesome! Everyone’s calling it a really strong sequel, even better than the first game. It’s currently sitting at an 83 on OpenCritic, and reviewers are loving the RPG stuff, the characters, and just the whole sense of adventure and beautiful worlds. Honestly, as someone who played the first Outer Worlds, I was already hyped, but these reviews are making me even more excited to jump in!
This noble endeavor invites GPU owners to lend their idle machines to the cause, in exchange for TON tokens. A veritable feast for developers starved of affordable compute power! Or, as Gogol might say, a modern-day scribe trading his quill for a GPU, only to find himself serf to the algorithm.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have been involved in a legal dispute with Palworld’s publisher, PocketPair, over patent infringement. Recently, a patent expert stated that Nintendo’s argument about mods not being considered existing technology is very weak. This argument was a key reason Nintendo’s patent application was denied in Japan.
The new Pokémon game, Pokémon Pokopia, was revealed during the Nintendo Direct in September and is slated for release in 2026. A unique feature of the game is that players control a Ditto that has taken human form and can learn moves from other Pokémon. While the initial announcement gave off Minecraft vibes, an early version of the game actually looks and plays quite differently.
I’m able to play multiplayer games on my Xbox, but I can’t get into the store or access Xbox Game Pass. Games aren’t updating either, though my friends list is working fine. This might not be happening for everyone, and Xbox Support hasn’t said anything about it yet.
