@Jonnybekeww @Skinny-Pete It's not Fight Night, but I've enjoyed it all the same. Definitely worth a play on Game Pass at least IMO.

@Fiendish-Beaver Yeah, it is. It was the first one that Supermassive Games created, and then they went on to make the Dark Pictures series, along with The Quarry, The Casting of Frank Stone and Directive 8020.

@Aidax89 You mean Until Dawn 2? It's not actually Supermassive this time around, it's a PlayStation first-party studio (Firesprite).

Therefore, it falls into the same category as Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey as very unlikely to ever come to Xbox.

Update: This is now back again for another year!

As always, we ask everyone to be respectful in the comments and to keep our Community Rules in mind. Thank you 🙏

@Arca9 Yes, it's confirmed! Xbox, PC, PS5.

For those wondering, Runescape: Dragonwilds, Silent Hill: Townfall, The Lost Wild, Kemuri and No Rest For The Wicked are all unfortunately not coming to Xbox alongside their PS5 launches.

No Rest For The Wicked has been confirmed for Xbox "at a later date".

@Lup Not sure yet! Will continue updating the article for the next hour-or-so with any additional confirmations (they often trickle out post-show).

Update: It's not exclusive, just got a press release confirming it's Xbox as well.

@Banjo- Yep, I've seen it! Working on my own at the moment, so probably won't get around to it until the reveal (which I assume will be the State of Play tonight).

@ILuvGames Good spot, thank you!

@RiverGenie @Tasuki @Sindayl Should point out that the New World Aeternum thing in July is only the in-game shop... the full game doesn't go offline until January 2027.

Still, that doesn't really change much! They've at least delisted it on the Xbox Store now, so nobody's going to make the mistake of buying it without knowing about the server shutdown.

@Banjo- Thank you! 🙏

@Banjo- Yep, I use it for around 20-30 hours of my working week, sometimes a bit more.

@ZeD Coffee. Lots of coffee.

@speaker4thedead You know what? This was meant as an opinion rather than a factual news piece, so it's only based on my personal impressions (of around 30 hours with it). I hadn't come across any issues with Quick Resume in Forza Horizon 6, but they do evidently exist as you say.

In the interest of fairness and transparency, I'm going to update the article with a warning about it to other players.

@HeyThatsNotMayo @Markatron84 I swear, all of this was fine when I triple-checked it earlier in the week 🤦‍♂️

Not sure what happened, but thank you for the corrections!

@RexPowercolt @Bartig Ah, interesting. Haven't really used Convoys much in FH6 yet, so it's not something I'd noticed.

@ScalenePowers I wouldn't read into the image - just did a quick check, and we first used it on Pure Xbox all the way back in 2020.

The one they used in the recent GDC event was the same style, but featured different games. A full-screen version hasn't been shared formally yet, but you can see it in the BlueSky post linked below:

@Dart-TheRedDragoon Off topic but Legend of Dragoon is incredible and I love your username / profile pic

@Markatron84 The proper answer is yes, but I'm not sure we can be bothered capitalising Xbox every single time 😅

We'll see how things go...

@Fiendish-Beaver You could certainly try it!

Update: For everyone struggling, Obsidian has just issued another statement (added to the top of the article) which suggests reaching out to their support team if you're having problems with the upgrade.

@Zandy That's... very weird. I'm not even sure how that would work! If you can share specific examples with me, I'll pass them on to the right people.

@FatGuyInLilCoat Yeah, that date's already been confirmed (the image is using the UK date format of August 4th):

https://www.purexbox.com/news/2026/02/game-freaks-beast-of-reincarnation-gets-august-2026-xbox-game-pass-release-date

@KlipKlop I hope it lives up to expectations for you! Come back and let me know once you've played it for a bit

@ZeD Working on a story about it for later today!

Update: Pre-orders have now begun!

You'll find more details at the top of the article, along with info on a new Lavender Dusk Ultimate 3 Controller for $99.99.

@LaurenceJ1987 Yep I've seen it! They're obviously just placeholders for now, but nice to have them in the list regardless - especially Clockwork Revolution considering we don't even have a release year for that one yet.

@Old_Man_Harper @BIGWILL12251979 @teknium_ Yeah, it took a long time, but Escape Simulator is finally showing now.

@awp69 It's not the plan, but if I can squeeze it in, I will 👍

@Martsmall Yeah, this has popped up on my console recently. As far as I'm aware it's for any Microsoft Store digital purchase (which includes the Xbox Store).

Here's how it appears on console when it shows up:

@Skinny-Pete You're right, but as someone who's been playing it on a 4K TV at 60FPS for a few hours already, it looks perfectly good enough IMO. It's the default option as well, so they clearly have confidence in it.

@Fiendish-Beaver Noooo! I'm just the messenger, don't hold me responsible

I sincerely hope you enjoy it...

@OorWullie @RiverGenie Yep, that's essentially it. We're focusing primarily on first-party Xbox reviews these days now.

@TryToBeHopeful Everyone who pre-orders the game on the Xbox Store gets early access today via a free Deluxe Edition upgrade.

@Fiendish-Beaver Haha, no can do! It's really good

@Balaam_ My bad, a few of the descriptions weren't displaying properly. Should be fixed now.

@Elbow You're very welcome!

@gingereno42 Thank you! I'm going to add all of these to the list now.

@Skinny-Pete @themightyant I'm going to assume it was more than just EA, but they were the biggest-sized critics.

As you say, if it was just the one company that was against it, they could surely find an easy enough solution.

@racerXplayer This event was organised specifically by Xbox UK, so I'm not aware what the plans are for US folk.

The only other event I'm personally aware of is the one at the British Motor Museum on Saturday. There might be others though!

@Fiendish-Beaver It will do! Just not until May 19th when it technically releases via Game Pass.

@Fiendish-Beaver It set an all-time concurrent peak on Steam on Sunday morning for 180,000 people.

There's a belief floating around that it's sold close to 1.5 million Premium Edition / Premium Upgrade copies so far.

@Fiendish-Beaver Not as far as I know.

But to be honest, I know little about it — we got some very limited details a month ago, and heard nothing since.

@Skinny-Pete Sorry!

Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware 😅

@Gabrielmpf Thank you! That's what happens when I rush things

As you can see from the update, LEGO 2K Drive has also now been added to the mix, with a delisting date of May 19th.

@MaccaMUFC Yeah, thank you! We were both out of office all day yesterday so we're playing catchup today - it'll be covered later on

@Decimateh Can you imagine if Asha Sharma was just like, "we want to give the fans what they're asking for, so here's Half-Life 3".

mic drop

@Fiendish-Beaver This is all just speculation for now, the report mentions that they don't have any further details and they can't guarantee it'll actually happen, so it's far too early to know how they might handle it.

As you say, there are a lot of potential issues with a system like this that they'd need to figure out. I'm just glad I'm not the person involved in making those decisions

@themightyant You've suddenly got my hopes up for Perfect Dark, when I know there's slim-to-nil chance 🥲

@Banjo- Of course!

@Lup The version they're referring to is this one:

https://www.xbox.com/games/store/ultra-streetfighter-iv/BT2KNXLFZWNP/0001

As opposed to the DLC version:

https://www.xbox.com/games/store/ultra-street-fighter-iv-super-streetfighter-iv-upgrade/bwsdf7h5xtcx

Honestly, I don't know the difference between the two 🤷‍♂️

@Skinny-Pete I don't understand it either! Keep in mind it's only based on a very small number of votes though, as this feature has only just been implemented.

We're talking like, less than 200 for Black Flag.
