Xbox Game Pass had a great November, with new games like Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, The Crew: Motorfest, Kill It With Fire! 2, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, and Monsters Are Coming! Rock & Road added to the service. December is off to a strong start too, with Marvel: Cosmic Invasion arriving on December 1st and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage joining on December 2nd.
Rockstar revealed in November 2025 that their new game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Switch 2. This announcement came about a year after the launch of Red Dead Redemption on Steam, which attracted over 8,000 players simultaneously. While the Steam version was popular, it also faced criticism, as many players felt the $50 price tag was too high for a game that was over ten years old. Now, the updated Xbox version seems to be facing the same pricing concerns.
Now that Red Dead Redemption is being updated for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and potentially the Nintendo Switch 2, players revisiting the game as John Marston might be surprised by some changes or aspects that haven’t aged well.
In a recent preview with GameSpot, Ishizaki explained that it was quite difficult to fine-tune the game after its release. He described the process as “a lot of trouble.”
Just a heads-up for anyone excited about the update: it looks like we won’t be able to pre-load it this time. That means the times listed for the release aren’t when we can actually start playing, but when it shows up in the store. We might even have to download it ourselves, and they’ve got all the details on how to do that on their official page.
The best science fiction games aren’t just about spaceships or robots. They’re defined by clever design, immersive worlds, and the overall experience they create. Over the past three decades, these games have shaped both what players want from sci-fi games and what developers aim to deliver.
Over the past twenty years, Final Fantasy has become a constant presence in my life. From the ups and downs of high school to the challenges of being an adult, I’ve always loved this series. It’s brought me immense joy, but also a few sleepless nights – many late-night gaming sessions led to early mornings with marching band! It was the perfect escape after stressful studying, and sometimes made me want to skip class altogether. Even during quiet moments, the games’ stories always stuck with me. Looking back at how much has changed, it’s amazing that Final Fantasy has been there throughout it all, growing with me every step of the way.
As a longtime Destiny 2 player, I’ve been pretty worried lately. The recent Edge of Fate update just didn’t seem to grab anyone, and honestly, it was riddled with bugs! A lot of us didn’t love the new Portal stuff either, and it all added up to a big drop in players. Bungie had to rush out fixes and even remove some features that just weren’t working. But I’m still holding out hope that the new Renegades expansion, which is taking inspiration from Star Wars, can really get things back on track. I’m really hoping it’s a turning point for the game!
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is now available, just in time for the holidays! The latest installment in the beloved Metroid series delivers the classic experience of battling Space Pirates and Metroids. While reviews are generally positive, it’s unlikely to be in the running for Game of the Year.
Hideo Kojima has always been open about his love for film, and his games clearly show it. He’s often said the Metal Gear Solid series drew major inspiration from films like James Bond, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, and Escape from New York. You can find countless references to these and other movies – some obvious, some hidden – throughout his games, showcasing his deep connection to the world of filmmaking.
