You heard it here first: MAG coming to Xbox Series X|S in 2025.

Maverick "takes place in the Alaskan wilderness, will see players fight one another, animals, and the harsh weather to survive". Ubisoft will either shut down the servers within 18 months of the game's release or cancel it outright before it releases.

Wait, Kartrider is shutting down? I hadn't heard that.

@Nintendo4Sonic how else are they supposed to force you to buy the new one? Release a substantially iterated on and/or improved game? Don't be absurd.

@carlos82 future Xboxes will be adorably all-digital.

It's the Phantom Dust reboot.

If there's not enough demand for it, there's not enough demand for it. Nobody wants to be sitting on a load of stock they can't sell.

I hope Okami Sequel ends up being the final title.

@Utena-mobile it was far from perfect, but I also really enjoyed Kameo.

@Deljo he'll be ported to another sport in 6 months.

Xbox's marketing prowess knows no bounds.

I never watch it live; if TGA was only about an hour - 90 minutes at a push - then that would gel with my usual evening routine. However, I work in retail and find it difficult enough to deal with the general public on a good day. If I stay up until around 4am the previous night, I will end up chinning someone.

@shoeses wait, does Battletoads really only have local co-op? That's insane. I played through it solo, so just assumed online play was included.

Other outlets gave this game a lower score and I am personally outraged by Pure Xbox's difference in opinion. Boycott this nonsense!!!

In all seriousness, this does look cool. I really enjoyed Shredder's Revenge and Battletoads, so I may give this a look.

@Ricky-Spanish Microsoft should buy the rights to (Shake Shake Shake) Shake Your Booty and have it playing whenever he walks out on stage or gives a televised interview.

@Ricky-Spanish if it were me, I'd wait and play it on Series X. But I'm the guy who waited 15 months until the native Series X version to play Doom Eternal.

@Elbow oh come on. He was probably actively trying to forget Youngblood. Poor guy's probably going to spend his Sunday in the fetal position now, thanks to you.

@FraserG just a FYI. The site has Hunt Showdown 1896 listed as Hunt Showdown 1986. Ignore this comment if it actually turns out Crytek changed the game's name a second time and I'm an idiot 🤣

@Arcticpandapopz and this is why I've stayed away from any and all extraction shooters. The only thing I've even tried that comes close was venturing into the dark zone in The Division 1 and 2.

@FraserG Ironically, the one person (@Banjo-) who didn't explicitly state that the game was reviewed less than favourably in an effort to get more clicks - and has repeatedly clarified that fact - is the one person who got a heated response about it from @PJOReilly. And it's not the first time he's lashed out at commenters, either.

Someone has a different opinion from everyone else? I won't hear of it!

Oh good, Microsoft's sending him a new Series S. Now he can use the money he would've spent getting the Series S repaired on A BLOODY HELMET. I hate that society consistently rewards the stupid.

@Matthewnh there are reasons for that "smaller" size. For example, hard drive manufacturers calculate a megabyte as 1,000 kilobytes, while the binary calculation is 1,024 KB. Different operating systems display storage differently; Windows, for example, uses the binary numbering system, so would display a 500GB hard drive as having less than 500GB storage.

Same as last year, the "time played" is completely wrong. Good work.

I haven't played in a long while as I don't have Game Pass anymore. It's something I'd like to go back to, though. I put a fair bit of time into it and - going by what state it was in last time I played - I'd give it an 8/10.

Wear a helmet, idiot.

@JoyfulFire

Memories of the event are "blurry".

And 30fps.

@FraserG psssssst, it's December 4th.

In other news: water is wet.

It was always going to happen; Ubisoft has done it at least twice before. And like @abe_hikura said, the live-service shooter space is oversaturated and it will take a lightning in a bottle situation for a new game to truly take off. Thing is, does Ubisoft try again? I would bet money on it.

@Ricky-Spanish your continued optimism is inspirational.

@bowzoid 🤣🤣🤣🤣

IAmParliament is most definitely "a writer" who MOST DEFINITELY sits in coffee shops with a laptop, "writing". Overdramatic much? 🤣

@Ricky-Spanish we're the Pure Xbox comments section's official bromance.

@jesse_dylan that'd be nice, but SEGA is probably gearing up to re-release them again - either as a collection or piecemeal - so they wouldn't want us snapping up a load of cheap games when they could just charge us more later down the line.

They should've kept this quiet and sneakily rolled it out as an update on April Fool's Day.

Any roguelike/lite (The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, to name a few), Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival.

Also, not Xbox, but Helldivers 2; a three mission op usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes.

@Vordus I'm the opposite; I don't think I've ever used the right-hand number pad on a keyboard. I instinctively have always gone to the numbers under F1-F12.

In my nearly 40 years on Earth, I don't think I've ever wanted anything more than I want that keyboard.

Six times the alleged patent infringement 👍

Xbox announcing a game alongside a CG trailer and then not telling anyone anything for years?! This is unprecedented!!! Everwild, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 and Fable all came out so quickly after they were announced, after all.

@K1LLEGAL not even the executives are safe!!!

@Balaam_ full games yes. Unfortunately, not if you include expansions

Being able to get Marvel's Midnight Suns for less than a tenner is practically stealing. I adored that game.

I want more things to be an Xbox. My fridge? Xbox. My carbon monoxide detector? Xbox. This Swedish made penis enlarger pump? XBOX!!

Outrageous behaviour from an Xbox employee. Boycott this company. 🙄

It most certainly is not S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. More Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival, more Picross S Mega Drive and Master System and MORE Helldivers 2.

Avatars were a waste of time from day one. Honestly, if it means Microsoft will focus on something less useless, then bin 'em off.

Play Anywhere is a good scheme. The only drawback is that you have to subject yourself to the Xbox PC app.

Satisfactory won PC Game of the Year. Helldivers 2 won Console Game of the Year. Black Myth: Wukong won Ultimate Game of the Year. Black Myth: Wukong is on both PC and console, so doesn't that technically mean it should be PC game of the year and console game of the year? Yet it won neither? I'm confused.

@Dimey @carlos82 true, duh, I didn't think of that 🤣 I wonder if people who own, say, Forza Horizon 4 will be able to still stream that once it gets delisted? Because presumably it's leaving Game Pass as well.

Am I the only one perplexed by the almost complete lack of first-party games in that list?

@16BitHero to be fair, they are currently working and living in a war zone. 🤷
