Microsoft has announced the first batch of titles coming to Game Pass in January 2024, and there are some heavy hitters. Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla arrives on January 9th, while Capcom’sResident Evil 2 is available on January 16th. Both titles will be playable on consoles, cloud and PC.

2024 has begun multiple asteroid approaches in the first two days, and the trend is set to continue today. As per the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), an asteroid is expected to pass Earth by a close margin today, January 3. When NASA's telescopes track a new Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA), astronomers measure the asteroid's observed positions in the sky and report them to the Minor Planet Center. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) then uses that data to determine the asteroid's most likely orbit around the Sun, according to NASA. Using this method, know details about Asteroid 2019 KK5 such as its speed, size, and distance of approach.

In a new development, NASA, with the help of its advanced ground and space-based telescopes, has revealed that an asteroid is expected to pass Earth today, December 29. The space agency made this discovery using its advanced instruments such as the NEOWISE telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Pans-STARRS1, and Catalina Sky Survey. According to NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, the space rock has been designated Asteroid 2023 YZ. Know all about the asteroid's close approach to Earth such as its speed, size, distance of approach, and more.

The Witcher voice actor Doug Cockle has voiced Geralt of Rivia for nearly two decades, and will soon expand beyond video games to voice the White Wolf in upcoming Netflix film Sirens of the Deep.

The latest Q&A video —  the last of 2023 — for New World dropped on Christmas. Despite the festive outfits of two-thirds of the developers on camera, the Amazon Games team addressed some pretty hard-hitting questions that have circulated since its 2024 roadmap was revealed.
