The news never stops, not even on weekends, and at Xbox Generation we don’t stop either, covering all the news related to the world of Xbox, Microsoft and PC so you don’t miss any news. nothing. But we know that not everyone can keep up with our daily rhythm, so we thought of bringing you a compact and interesting summary of the week with everything that happened.
From Xbox Game Pass additions, new releases and top industry news, this central week of October is already starting to bring us the wave of Christmas titles and some controversies, always fun to know about. Here we are!
Summary of the week of October 10 to 16
We start the roundup… with a roundup of the 6 games we know are coming to Xbox Game Pass in November, including the highly anticipated Gungrave GORE, but also Humankind, the strategy game similar to SEGA’s Civilization, but let’s talk from the past, because on Friday the same studio delayed the game indefinitely. Bad luck for those who expected it.
But let’s get to the good stuff, like our impressions of the Street Fighter 6 closed beta, pure vice that points to the best fighting game ever made. And with these, our dearest Phil Spencer opened the week, who in his already famous shelf showed off what appeared to be the Xbox streaming-only console, also known as the Xbox Keystone. The question that remains is whether this version will ultimately be the final one or not.
Something that should not be overlooked is undoubtedly the main controversy of recent weeks. Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard makes one player more active than it should be: Sony. It seems that the owner of the PlayStation brand saw some weakness in the UK’s CMA and passed on its complaints to them, even causing Microsoft to react harshly, citing for example that it has far fewer consoles sold or that Sony -even is what stopped the Xbox Game Pass from reaching your console. A lot of controversy in the networks and even more drama, this is what generated this crossing of declarations between companies.
Of course, it never hurts to remember this week’s gold deals, once again dropping hundreds of games at a discount. It is mandatory to give it a review and that we do not miss any of our favorites.
Last Friday Scorn was finally released and although we haven’t been able to bring you the review yet and the reviews have been very diverse and polarized, by the general opinion of people it seems to have gotten a lot better with its disturbing sound and unique aesthetic. Another next-gen coming to Xbox Game Pass and showing off what this new hardware is capable of.
And finally we had a rather busy weekend, marked above all by two events, the Minecraft Live 2022, of which you can read a summary here, the RazerCon 2022, in which they presented a new portable device to play in the cloud called Razer Edge and unfortunately the one that made the most noise on the networks, the 30fps controversy in Gotham Knights. The Warner title, despite canceling the Xbox One and PS4 versions last May, won’t have a performance mode, and the networks have been completely filled with reviews. Comments from a Rocksteady developer, who fanned the flame, didn’t really help.
Tomorrow more and more, remember that all this news you can follow day by day and minute by minute with us in Xbox Generation.
