Legend of Zelda-inspired adventure game Tunic came to PC and Xbox back in March last year (Switch and PlayStation the following September), but it seems plenty of fans are still plundering its depths to see what secrets they can uncover - and its creator never expected them to dig quite this deep.
Sounds like Lords of the Fallen on Xbox will be janky at launch but PS5 and PC players "will be able to enjoy the game as intended"

Lords of the Fallen studio Hexworks is preemptively warning Xbox players that their experience with the game might not be up to par with the PS5 and PC versions at tomorrow's launch.
In a curiously worded tweet, Hexworks suggests the game will work just fine on PS5 and PC. The Xbox version, however, maybe not so much.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the content creators who have worked with us to enable the rapid deployment of patches, updates, and performance improvements ahead of tomorrow's exciting launch of Lords of the Fallen.
As such, PC and PlayStation 5 players will be able to enjoy the game as intended. The Xbox version is currently being updated, bringing it to parity with the other platforms, and the patch will release over the coming days."
I'm purely speculating here, but I'm also fairly confident I'm not the only one wondering whether the Xbox Series S is the culprit here. After all, the hardware limitations of the the Xbox Series X's little brother have famously been blamed for Baldur's Gate 3 not releasing on Xbox platforms at the same time as PS5. Again though, neither Hexworks nor publisher CI Games has given a reason for the tweet. I've reached out to both parties for clarification and will update this article if I hear back.
While Lords of the Fallen is being generally well-received by critics, our own Joel Franey awarded it a respectable, but not quite glowing, 3.5/5 stars. Here's a bit from our Lords of the Fallen review:
"Lords of the Fallen just about justifies the return of this forgotten franchise by being basically fine. It has a few clever ideas and a whole bunch of very predictable ones, ultimately resulting in a Soulslike experience that won't feel particularly new or fresh, but rarely offends or goes too far wrong."
If you're planning on playing the game tomorrow, don't miss our breakdown of the best Lords of the Fallen class to pick and why.

Lords of the Fallen will tone down infamous gank squads and restore checkpoints to New Game+ in its second week of patches
Lords of the Fallen's been getting patched at an absurd rate. Since its release October 13, Hexworks has pumped eight whole updates into the game, fiddling with the dials on performance, the game's parry system, enemy projectiles—the whole nine yards. The studio has started as it means to carry on, it seems—Patch v.1.1.224 (and more updates coming Thursday) looks like it's giving Mournstead its biggest shakeup yet.

PS5 Slimmer Variant Will Reportedly Launch November 10 in the US, Spider-Man 2 Bundle Leaked
The release date for the slimmer and lighter mid-gen refresh of the PS5 has seemingly leaked online, alongside details about its first bundle. As per reliable tipster Billbil-kun — notorious for accurately leaking monthly PS Plus games ahead of time — the new PlayStation consoles with smaller form factor will go on sale November 10 in the US before spreading out to other regions; both disc and digital versions. A bit before that, on November 8, Sony would be bundling it with the newly launched Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at $559.99, which is the same amount as the existing standard edition bundle. While not explicitly mentioned, the content should be the same, with a digital voucher for the game, alongside a themed controller.

Spider-Man 2 New Game+ Won’t be Available at Launch, but Should Arrive before Year’s End
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is almost here, and it sounds like fans will have a very full-featured adventure to jump into, although there will be a few minor things missing at launch. According to Insomniac community director James Stevenson, Spider-Man 2 won’t have a New Game+ mode or the ability to replay missions at launch. Thankfully, you shouldn’t have to wait too long for those features, as Stevenson says they should arrive via an update “before end of year.”
