Microsoft has introduced a new update across Xbox that aims to simplify users' experiences when they set about backing up their game captures.

New fiscal results belonging to indie publisher Devolver Digital have revealed the company is beginning to reject deals from Sony and Microsoft to put titles on Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus. Building on reports of subscription fatigue where consumer spending is concerned, Devolver Digital claims it has turned down multiple proposals from platform holders as the offers «undervalued the titles' value and revenue opportunities in 2023 and 2024».

Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass has proven to be quite a hit for Xbox players. This subscription service was introduced to allow players access to a wide range of video games at their disposal. For the past several years, we’ve seen the service evolve with cloud gaming first-party exclusives launching day one on the service, among several deals that brought in third-party video game titles to the service. However, don’t anticipate Microsoft to make a game that would only be accessible through Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox announced a slew of new titles coming to its Game Pass subscription service this year. At its Tokyo Game Show segment, held Thursday, the publisher confirmed that Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be available to members for free on day one i.e., November 9. In it, Kazama Kiryu, the famous Yakuza who faked his death to protect his family, slips into the black suit once again and works as a bodyguard codenamed ‘Joryu.' His cover is soon threatened when a mysterious figure with ties to the past comes to haunt him, spawning a crazed frenzy across the streets of Japan, as we punch our way through hordes.

will be coming to on day one. In fact, during the Xbox Digital Broadcast at Tokyo Game Show last night, there were two more games revealed to be coming to the service, including Like a Dragon: Ishin!.

Capcom has a new collection of games coming to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. This is also a great collection of titles if you love visual novel games. Likewise, the collection is a perfect place to start if you haven’t really dabbled into the visual novel genre. Players can enjoy the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy starting next week. This series first got started in 2001 when it initially launched on the Game Boy Advance in Japan. But a few years later, the rest of the world was introduced to this adventure series when Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney landed on the Nintendo DS.

Ahead of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which we just learned will be released in January, Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) Studio will release Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Announced in September, The Man Who Erased His Name stars longtime Yakuza series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu and focuses on his life after Yakuza 6: The Song of Life before he appears in Infinite Wealth. And now, thanks to Xbox's 2023 Tokyo Game Show broadcast, we know we'll be hanging with Kiryu on Xbox Game Pass on the game's November 9 launch day.

Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass will add Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy on September 26, Microsoft announced.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name will be available via Xbox Game Pass on day one of release, publisher SEGA and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announced.

Xbox Game Pass members can expect to see a whole bunch of new games added to the service soon, including two Like a Dragon games.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and Like a Dragon: Ishin! will join the Xbox Game Pass library in the coming weeks, Microsoft confirmed today.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is coming to Xbox and Windows PC as a day-one Game Pass title when it launches on November 9 later this year, Microsoft has announced. The Yakuza historical spinoff Like a Dragon: Ishin! also joins the subscription service later this year.

Xbox has announced that Gotham Knights’ Game Pass debut will occur on October 3, and those of you who don’t want to pay for it can check out the game after its mediocre critical response. Party Animals, Cocoon, and PayDay 3 also join the Xbox Game Pass lineup over the next few weeks.

The second wave of games coming to throughout the final weeks of September 2023 have been announced. Once again there are a couple of AAA day-one releases, meaning the rest of the list is somewhat lacking. The good news is that those games include Lies of P and Payday 3.

A series of leaked documents surfaced from the FTC when they initially tried to block the deal against Microsoft’s attempt to acquire Activision Blizzard. Now, a series of documents have leaked out, giving consumers a look inside Microsoft’s plans for the future. This is a major hit for Microsoft as fans are now aware of aspects like a mid-gen refresh for the Xbox Series X/S platforms. But now we’re getting a report that among the list of leaked documents that surfaced online includes the fees that Microsoft anticipated paying for games on their Xbox Game Pass service.

Microsoft announces even more Game Pass titles for the remainder of September.

Microsoft has revealed the titles joining and leaving Xbox’s Game Pass subscription service from mid-September to early October, including Payday 3, Gotham knights, and more.

Xbox has announced the next wave of games to join the Game Pass library.

September gets its second batch of new Xbox Game Pass games this week, kicking off with today’s launch of the well-received Lies of P. The long-awaited Payday 3 invites players to its world of multiplayer heists, the promising and mysterious indie game Cocoon arrives, and the multiplayer DC action game Gotham Knights lands on the service for the first time.

The recent leak of internal Microsoft documents gives an indication as to what the company expects to pay to get games on Xbox Game Pass.

The Microsoft Xbox Game Pass subscription service has proven quite popular with players. Those, especially on the latest-generation Xbox consoles, are given access to a large collection of video games to enjoy at their leisure. Best of all, each month comes with two waves of new games added into the mix. We already had the first wave unveiled, and all the games from it were added to the service. Chances are you might have picked up the subscription for Bethesda’s Starfield game alone. However, if you’re through with that RPG and are looking for something else to try out, here’s what else will be included in the mix throughout the remainder of this month.

Microsoft has revealed the next wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

See ya.

Microsoft has announced new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass from late September to early October, which includes Party Animals, Gotham Knights, PAYDAY 3, and more.

Phil Spencer admitted the hole in Game Pass left by Starfield's delay was a «disaster situation» and suggested FromSoftware's Dark Souls games to plug the gap following the success of Elden Ring, among other third-party releases.

The majority of Xbox Game Pass subscribers pay full price and use the service on console.

If you have been counting down the days for Lies of P, the game was supposed to arrive to everyone tomorrow. However, it looks like if you’re going to play this title on Xbox Game Pass, you can dive into the game today. It’s a surprise to fans as the developers have released the game ahead of schedule, so if you’re looking for something to play between your Starfield sessions, here’s something worth checking out. 

It looks like Xbox is offering a heads-up of what games are leaving Xbox Game Pass this month. Typically, this is not how games are revealed to be leaving the subscription service, but thanks to Gamerant, we’re getting an early look at what’s leaving. Fortunately, even though these games are leaving the subscription service, there are still some incentives to try these titles out before they are only made available through the Xbox digital storefront or purchasing physical copies from a retailer. 

Hey gamers! We have got some news about the games leaving Xbox Game Pass in the last weeks of September 2023. Microsoft just dropped the list of games that will say goodbye, and we're here to give you the scoop.

Microsoft’s lineup of first party studios is an impressive one, to say the very least, not only because of how large it is, but also given the pedigree of so many developers that fall under the first party Xbox Game Studios wing. At the same time, however, Microsoft is also working on upcoming exclusives with external, third party partners that will be published under the Xbox Game Studios banner.

There are no shortages these days when it comes to subscription services. We see them everywhere across all kinds of entertainment mediums. So naturally, we’re also finding subscription services proving to be popular for the video game industry. Today, Microsoft’s Xbox senior director of global brand and integrated marketing, Craig McNary, has posted a new update to their LinkedIn profile that unveils how many subscribers they see on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

According to Microsoft's Director of Live Game Operations at Xbox Game Studios, Crystin Cox, the company has more than a "dozen games" in development.

Xbox Live Gold is no more, but in its place comes dozens of Xbox Game Pass Core games to play alongside access to the console’s online services. It’s certainly the end of an era, and we’ve gotten some requests to create a clear list of what’s available: here you go!

Microsoft in July announced that it was relaunching the Xbox Live Gold, its online subscription service that allows players to play multiplayer games, as Xbox Game Pass Core. it will finally be launched today, and it not only gives players access to multiplayer features but also free games. For the unaware, Microsoft has another subscription service for the Xbox called Xbox Game Pass that features a vast library of games that players can play without having to purchase each one separately, along with day-one access to new games. Xbox's most popular subscription is Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which offers a catalog of more than 400 Xbox One, Xbox 360, and original Xbox games as well as access to day-one releases.

Microsoft is set to launch Xbox Game Pass Core tomorrow and has revealed there will be 36 games to enjoy.

If you haven’t heard, Microsoft is eliminating Xbox Live Gold. This subscription service granted players two free games each month. Likewise, some of the additional benefits were access to online multiplayer and discounts made specifically to those who were subscribers of Xbox Live Gold. But it was time for Microsoft to make a change, which came with the introduction of Xbox Game Pass Core. We knew this subscription service would be taking the place of Xbox Live Gold, but the actual lineup of games that would come packed with this subscription tier had remained a mystery.

With Xbox Live Gold set to be completely replaced with Xbox Game Pass Core tomorrow, 14th September, Microsoft has grown the number of games that will be included in the mini library of games that it provides, in place of the outgoing Games with Gold.

Microsoft is coming to Tokyo Game Show with Game Pass reveals planned.

We had just reported on Bethesda revealing that Starfield was their most successful launch ever. But, it turns out this launch also set another record.

Starfield appears to have broken Microsoft‘s record for the biggest launch day for an Xbox Game Studios title.

Microsoft announced that the Xbox Digital Broadcast is returning for Tokyo Game Show 2023 after last year's debut. The Xbox Digital Broadcast is set to air on Tokyo Game Show’s official YouTube channel and select Xbox social channels in Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, French, German, and Castilian Spanish starting September 21st at 6 PM JST / 9 AM UTC / 2 AM PDT. The broadcast will also be available with Japanese Sign Language (JSL), Australian Sign Language (AusLan), and audio descriptions in both Japanese and English.

Seagate has released its Starfield Xbox Game drive but your Xbox Series X|S won't be able to play Bethesda's game from it.

By Steve Watts on

Starfield is September's big Xbox Game Pass release, but there are a few other great games that'll be available as well.

Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in early September, and while it isn’t a terribly long list, it more than delivers on quality. Subscribers can look forward to the biggest Xbox exclusive in years in Starfield, the new stylish Soulslike Lies of P, classic indie platformer Gris, and more.

The new games coming to throughout the first couple of weeks of September 2023 have been announced. As the highlight is undoubtedly Bethesda’s new space-exploration RPG Starfield, those who aren’t interested in that game will find very little else on offer for this period.

Xbox Game Pass has a small batch of new games hitting the first half of September, but what they lack in quantity, they make up for in quality and hype.

September is a massive month for Game Pass with the day-one release of Bethesda’s Starfield, but there are plenty more games coming to the subscription service soon.

Xbox Game Pass is an incredible subscription service. You might be keen on the service if you’re after a collection of video games to enjoy on the latest generation of Xbox consoles. With Xbox Game Pass, you’re opening up countless video game titles to enjoy for a monthly fee. Of course, some games will stay on the subscription service. The releases that are under a Microsoft first-party development team will remain on the service. That is unless some licensing issues arise, which could lead to a game being removed. In fact, that happened not too long ago with Quantum Break, which saw a removal from the service until the licensing issues were dealt with.

Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass is a well-worth subscription service to pick up if you’re on the latest generation of Xbox consoles. This service offers players access to a wide collection of video game titles to download and play for a monthly fee. Best of all, you can expect all of the Microsoft first-party video game titles to be readily available at launch. These games will also remain on the subscription service. Unfortunately, we can’t say that for third-party video game releases.

It's a month of big hitters on Game Pass, as Solar Ash will join Starfield and Lies of P on the Xbox and PC subscription service.

Starfield is the obvious big “get” for Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass program this month, and it’ll be arriving on September 6 on the service for cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. Before that though you’ll be treated to Gris – a lovely little puzzle platformer that’s a fantastic rainy-day weekend game. After that, we’re getting Solar Ash on September 14, as well as Lies of P on September 19. Microsoft also reminds folks that Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition recently hit the service.

Microsoft has confirmed the next batch of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

If you’re after Starfield, the best option to play it for some players might be going through Xbox Game Pass. This subscription service has proven well worth the investment. Each month, you’re getting a new collection of video game titles to enjoy. Likewise, we know that each Microsoft first-party video game exclusive will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. That also comes with the benefit of the game not being removed from the subscription service. Of course, there could be some games being absent due to licensing issues. At any rate, for those of you who want Starfield, getting a subscription for Xbox Game Pass might just be a bit less expensive than you initially thought, thanks to this deal.

Xbox Game Pass is getting a price hike, as Ultimate is rising to $16.99 per month. That makes today's lead deal even more appealing, as you can get three months of Xbox Game Pass for $31.49 (vs. $50.97 if you paid monthly). This effectively translates to roughly $10.49 per month for access to one of the most extensive game subscription services available, even featuring noteworthy titles like Bethesda's Starfield (available on Game Pass September 1). Given the high demand, we recommend taking swift action to seize this deal before it vanishes.

Microsoft has seemingly scrapped its $1 Xbox Game Pass trial with the launch of Starfield on the horizon.

Microsoft has removed the option to sign up for a 14-day trial of Game Pass for $1. This comes just ahead of Starfield’s release on September 6.

Microsoft has removed the $1 / £1 Xbox Game Pass trial, just days before Starfield launches.

Microsoft has stopped offering its $1 trial for Xbox Game Pass as the company gears up for one of the biggest video game releases of the year in the form of Starfield. According to XGP, the option has been removed from the sign-up page for Xbox Game Pass.

There’s no shortage of upcoming video games to get excited for when it comes to the Xbox platform. We know that there is a push to see this platform receive more first-party video game titles. While the studios are still pushing through some incredible game projects, most of us might be eyeing the launch of next month’s Starfield. Bethesda is gearing up for their next big RPG to finally be in the hands of players worldwide. But there’s even more to look forward to playing after this game launches into the marketplace. 

It's deep space, not cheap space.

Microsoft has killed the $1 Xbox Game Pass deal once again, this time just over a week before the launch of Starfield - arguably the biggest-ever day one Game Pass release.

It’s been a big change in this generation of console platforms. We started to see the folks over at Microsoft, and Sony brought out more incentives to pay for a monthly subscription service. For instance, Microsoft has boasted its Xbox Game Pass subscription service. It’s a fantastic deal if you’re after a collection of games, especially first-party Microsoft titles. You’ll get access to a wide range of video game titles by paying a monthly fee. However, Microsoft usually offered an incentive to try Xbox Game Pass out if you were unsure about giving the service a chance.

You can no longer claim a trial of Xbox Game Pass for £1/$1, just days ahead of Starfield, the year's biggest Microsoft launch.

Bad news, Xbox fans – you won't be able to play Starfield for $1, because Xbox has withdrawn the $1 14-day Xbox Game Pass trial. Again.

The jig's up - Microsoft knows what you lot were scheming. About two weeks before Starfield's release, the two-week Xbox Game Pass trial has been taken down, making it impossible to play Bethesda's next big RPG for just one dollar.

Steamworld Build is going to be released on December 1st, Thunderful and The Station have confirmed. Steamworld Build is going to be available on PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox Game Pass day one. Those who have the SteamWorld Complete Bundle on PC will get a 20% discount on Steam. There is also a SteamWorld Build demo available to try out.

Earlier this summer, developer Jump Over The Age revealed Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, a sequel that occurs “some time” after last year’s Citizen Sleeper. Today, Jump Over The Age and publisher Fellow Traveller revealed the sequel will launch on Xbox Series X/S and hit Xbox Game Pass on day one.
