Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in early-to-mid March, and there’s a decent array of stuff to choose from. The headliner is Sony’s own MLB The Show 24, and as in the past couple years, Xbox owners actually get a better deal on the game (it won’t be on PS Plus on Day 1). Those who buy the Digital Deluxe Add-on can even get in on the MLB The Show 24 early access period via Game Pass. Subscribers can also look forward to a few more solid options, includng Control Ultimate Edition, No More Heroes 3, a little SpongeBob SquarePants action, and more.

Embracer Group gobbled up a lot of studios during its 2020-era spending spree, but perhaps the biggest acquisitions were Saber Interactive (World War Z, many, many ports) and Gearbox Software (Borderlands). It’s clear Embracer had big plans for Saber and Gearbox, as both were spun into entire company divisions with other smaller studios reporting to them, but those plans have changed – Embracer’s fortunes took a turn when a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia fell through and the company has been desperately cutting costs since. Apparently, this means two of their crown jewels have to go.

One of the keys to truly getting the most out of the dark looter-shooter Remnant II is finding some folks to team up with, but unfortunately, players' ability to do that has been somewhat limited by the fact that the game hasn’t supported crossplay. Well, thankfully, that changes today as Gunfire Games and publisher Gearbox have announced the addition of crossplay to the game. Here’s what Remnant II director David Adams had to say about the new feature…

Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help.

The new Alone in the Dark arrives in only a few short weeks, and publisher THQ Nordic has dropped a new trailer, showcasing some of its unique features. Much like the classic Resident Evil 2, players can play through the game as one of two different characters, Edward and Emily, with the experience changing based on which one you pick. The trailer shows how even character interactions will change based on who you play as. We also get a further look at Derceto Manor and its colorful cast of characters – it seems like interacting with them will be what really sets Alone in the Dark apart from your typical Resident Evil wannabe fare.

Oh, and you’ll also be able to play as Post Malone, because sure, why not?

After many years of development and countless delays, Skull and Bones has finally arrived. While the main danger you’ll face in the game are other ships, the ocean itself can also send you down to Davy Jones’ locker. While exploring the open ocean area in the middle of Skull and Bones large Indian Ocean map, the seas will often get rough, and occasionally serve up a particularly large “rogue wave,” which can immediately sink your boat if you don’t handle it correctly. This can be a bit panic-inducing, and you’ll probably go down the first time you encounter one, but if you know what to do they’re not actually that dangerous. Here’s how to survive a rogue wave with your ship intact.

After many years of development and countless delays, Skull and Bones has finally arrived. While exploring in Skull and Bones is usually fairly laid back, things will get less chill if your hostility with the game’s various factions gets raised too high. This may result in you being attacked on sight, which really puts a crimp in your resource collection and delivery missions. So, how does hostility work and how can you lower it?
