Xbox hasn’t sold as many Series consoles as hoped, and at the same time, many games that used to be exclusive to Xbox are now available on other platforms, like PlayStation. Even major franchises like Gears of War, Halo, and Forza are making the switch. This is more than just competition between console brands; by releasing its own games on other platforms, Xbox is reducing the reason to buy an Xbox console in the first place. It seems Xbox is not only losing exclusive titles, but also seeing fewer games being developed for the platform overall, suggesting the brand may be losing its importance. We’ve already seen several examples of this trend this year.

As a LEGO and Animal Crossing fan, I have to say this little polybag is a surprisingly big deal! Tom Nook has been notoriously hard to get your hands on – he only appeared in one set previously! This set changes that, and for just five bucks! You get Nook, a cute little green base with flowers, and a present hanging from a balloon – it perfectly captures that iconic floating present mechanic from the game. Honestly, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to finally add Tom Nook to your LEGO collection, and I’m thrilled about it.

And that’s not even considering games that ended after only one installment. Many first-person shooter fans would be thrilled to see sequels like Condemned 3, Titanfall 3, or Crysis 4, but we’re not focusing on those cases here – at least those games had a sequel. Instead, let’s look back at some truly great FPS games that, for various reasons, never received a follow-up.

The upcoming Super Mario movie clearly takes inspiration from Super Mario Galaxy, so it makes sense that Rosalina is a major new character. Brie Larson, an Academy Award winner, will voice her. Bowser Jr. will also appear for the first time in a Mario movie, playing a key villain, and will be voiced by Benny Safdie. Recent leaks suggest Bowser Jr. will surprisingly team up with another character in the film.

These hidden bosses can be tricky to find, as the game doesn’t show their locations on the map. Even when you locate them, reaching them can be challenging. This guide details the locations of all secret bosses in Nioh 3.

For decades, fans have loved the Super Mario Bros. series, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the newest installment. It’s been highly praised for its bright, colorful graphics, especially when using Wonder Flowers, and players have enjoyed the new power-ups. While some are eagerly awaiting the Bellabel Park content planned for the Switch 2 Edition, others are discovering Super Mario Bros. Wonder on PC, bringing a retro feel to this popular game.

Xbox is undergoing significant changes at the top, with Phil Spencer, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, announcing his retirement after nearly 30 years with the company. Spencer started at Microsoft as an intern in 1998 and played a key role in shaping Xbox, successfully navigating the challenging launch of the Xbox One and leading the purchase of prominent gaming companies like Bethesda and Activision. In addition to Spencer’s departure, Xbox president Sarah Bond is also leaving. Asha Sharma, president of Microsoft’s CoreAI, will take over as CEO, but a replacement for Bond hasn’t been announced yet.

Embark recently launched the Headwinds update for ARC Raiders, kicking off their plans for the game in 2026. This update included some surprising additions, like a new 1v3 matchmaking mode that sparked debate, and changes to the Buried City map with more birds, collectibles, and ziplines. Players also got two new Augments, plus a lot of bug fixes and improvements. Now, as February ends, Embark is preparing to release another significant update this week.
