Apple’s latest policy change is good news for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers

Microsoft has yet to officially unveil the next set of games coming to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Typically, we receive two waves of titles that are added to the service each month. We already have the first wave of games confirmed, with the majority of those titles being released, but it looks like Bandai Namco Entertainment has confirmed Tales of Arise will be one of the games on the list for Microsoft’s second wave. 

The lineup of games being added to Game Pass’ library over the course of February was revealed earlier in the month, and though it was already looking quite strong with the likes of Resident Evil 3, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and more, another major title has now been confirmed to be joining the service’s ranks.

Cozy organizational influencers are exhausting. Their posts depict a fantasy world where people can spend hours per day placing objects in drawers or labeling mason jars. Yet I can’t stop watching their videos when they show up on my feeds. There’s something satisfying about putting things in their correct place. Plus, the acoustics are excellent. I’m particularly fond of the little taps objects make when you place them on a hard surface, and the sound of drawers closing. I don’t know what it is; it’s just pleasing to my brain.

Xbox Game Pass just added another big survival horror game to the catalog. This first wave of Xbox Game Pass titles for February included the addition of Resident Evil 3. That comes after the previous month, which included access to Resident Evil 2. So, those of you who had finished through the last installment might be keen on giving this next game a chance.

Xbox Game Pass subscribers have yet another day one game to look forward to, as the upcoming Botany Manor has been confirmed for release on April 9. Botany Manor was first confirmed for Xbox Game Pass last December, with a handful of other 2024 Game Pass titles confirmed on the same day.

The first games coming to during February 2024 have been revealed a little later than anticipated, but now we know what to expect up until the last week of the month. As well as day-one releases, the list also includes a new game for EA Play.

BT has apologised after it emerged that some broadband customers are being charged for Xbox Game Pass subscriptions without their knowledge.

As part of major changes to Apple’s App Store policies to comply with EU regulations, the company has also announced that game streaming apps are now to be accepted on the App Store for the first time. This opens the door for Xbox Game Pass, GeForce Now, PlayStation Plus, Amazon Luna and other game streaming subscriptions to have dedicated apps on iPhone and iPad – they were previously only accessible via built-in web browsers.

Apple today has announced new rules that will allow game streaming apps onto iOS devices.

The public criticism aimed at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will influence future games in the franchise, an industry insider has said. This claim is likely to be welcome news for the vocal section of the fans who repeatedly expressed skepticism about whether their criticism of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been heard.

A producer from Capcom gave fans of the Ace Attorney franchise some good news, promising that the publisher isn't abandoning the series anytime soon. The first Ace Attorney game was released in 2001 on the Game Boy Advance. Ever since, it has spawned a trilogy on the handheld console, which was then ported to the Nintendo DS and brought over to the West. With its surprise popularity, Ace Attorney would help show the appeal of visual novel games in the West.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate added additional perks for subscribers to redeem. The perks cover a wide variety of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate titles, so users should consider checking them out to see if any of their favorite games are included.
