Xbox boss Phil Spencer hopes Starfield can be like Skyrim for people who love space and space exploration.

Halo’s first season wasn’t good. It made bizarre changes to the story and lore of the games. It had barely any action between the Spartans and the Covenant, and Master Chief spent half the season with his helmet off (and often more than that). But it seems that Paramount may have figured out the problem, considering the trailer for the show’s second season is basically all epic-looking battles.

Oh, Phil Spencer, what won’t you say next? We ask this because, true to his nature, he’s been making plenty of bold claims and statements about the future of Xbox, including going backward on things he said not too long ago. But his focus today is on Starfield, which came out a few months back after YEARS of development by Bethesda. While the title rocketed off to a hot start, pun intended, things cooled off quickly once people dove into the game and learned more about it. But at the CCXP show in Brazil, as noted by PCGamesN, Spencer was there to say that he felt the game could have the longevity of a certain other Bethesda title.

The Fallout TV series just got a trailer, giving us a glimpse into its irradiated post-apocalyptic world. Unveiled during the Comic-Con Expo (CCXP) event in Brazil, the show brings forth an original story set in a dilapidated Los Angeles and runs canon to the Bethesda game's universe — adding to the franchise, instead of adapting from one of its titles. However, just like the games, the tale largely follows a vault dweller who heads out into the nuclear wasteland in search of answers and in the process, meets countless eccentric characters — both good and bad — and uncovers the larger politics surrounding class divide, morality, and more. Fallout premieres April 12 on Amazon Prime Video.

At the 2023 Comic Con Experience in São Paulo, Microsoft CEO Phil Spencer fielded questions about Xbox and its latest titles while revealing some interesting information about the current state of the gaming industry.

The folks at NetherRealm Studio showed up for the Brazilian CCXP expo, and they brought their first look at Quan-Chi. The sinister sorcerer is joining the Mortal Kombat 1 roster this year after being the co-big bad of the game’s story mode.

That a WWE 2K24 will be announced at some point in the not-too-distant future is pretty much guaranteed, given the series’ annual release cycle, but when exactly will that announcement be coming? Apparently, it might not be too far away.

Following his comments to a Brazilian magazine about the recent price increase of the Xbox Series S console in the LATAM country, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer was interviewed yesterday on the CCXP main stage and revealed a new player count milestone for Starfield.

There’s been a lot of talk in recent days and weeks about whether Starfield has got the sort of critical reception it deserves, but regardless of where you stand on that, where pure numbers are concerned, Bethesda Game Studios’ space RPG seems to be doing well for itself.

Unannounced wrestling game WWE 2K24 has been rated in Brazil.

It might have surprised some fans when they saw the comments made by Tim Stuart, the Xbox CFO. If you don’t recall, it was just a couple of days ago now that reports flooded in that Tim stated that Xbox would like to see Game Pass on competitor platforms such as Nintendo and PlayStation. This might have sparked speculation that Microsoft was actively working on a plan to get Game Pass on some of these rival platforms. However, don’t get too excited, as Phil Spencer is looking to clear the air.

The store could come earlier than later.

Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer says Microsoft is talking to partners about launching an Xbox mobile store, as first reported by Bloomberg. Spencer made the comment during an interview at the CCXP comics and entertainment convention in Brazil on Thursday.

For those who enjoyed Paramount Plus’ Halo series, you’re in luck. You can watch all eight episodes of its first season for free on YouTube. Furthermore, the date for the next season might have leaked a bit early.

Paramount Plus’ Haloisn’t exactly anyone’s idea of the perfect version of the Halo universe. Despite all the ways that Paramount has insisted the show’s first season, which debuted in 2022, was a success, it didn’t exactly take over pop culture the way the Paramount and Xbox probably wanted. But with season 2 on the way, the streaming service has a new plan to get people to watch season 1: make it free on YouTube.

Microsoft’s gaming division is seeking continued growth, and to do that, it is eyeing the mobile gaming market. As Bloomberg reports, Xbox is talking with partners to create a mobile gaming store.

During the 2023 Comic Con Experience (November 30 - December 3) in São Paulo, Brazil, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spoke with Bloomberg's Rachel Gamarski to confirm the company's strategy to build an Xbox mobile store with the help of like-minded partners.

In perhaps the most casual TV announcement I've ever seen, Paramount+ has put the entire first season of the Halo series up on YouTube and has revealed that season 2 is set to begin on February 8, 2024.

A game can't so much as include a puddle without being pelted with demands for a fishing minigame these days. The people insist on fish, which is great for the protagonists of cozy life sims, who get to spend relaxing days hooking crappies at the pond. I'd be less pleased if I were the guy meeting giant tentacles in Lovecraftian fishing game Dredge, or one of the protagonists of upcoming survival horror game Drowned Lake, who can expect to reel in «abominations» alongside fish, equipment, and lost items.

The sorcerer returns to the playable roster in December.

As the environmental, political, and above all, economic tension between the ultra-rich and the rest of the world continues to grow, it’s a topic that keeps driving dark, memorable movies — from Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar-winner Parasite to 2022’s The Menu, Pig, and Triangle of Sadness to a sub-track at the 2023 Fantastic Fest film festival, including this year’s Nick Stahl movie What You Wish For and the blistering Brazilian movie Property. Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, which played as a secret screening at Fantastic Fest, seems to fit the bill perfectly as well: It follows an Oxford freshman, Oliver (Barry Keoghan, sure to turn up in awards-season conversation again) as he awkwardly infiltrates the social circle of his ultra-rich classmate Felix Catton (Priscillaco-star Jacob Elordi). What follows is part horror movie, part classic Gothic novel, as Oliver hungers to be like Felix — or just to be Felix.
