Sale:
Whether you’re one of the lucky few who have managed to secure an elusive Xbox Series X or are in possession of any of the other consoles in the Microsoft range, you may be wanting to add some new games to your collection.
Since 2013, the console has amassed a huge array of titles and now, you can snap up discounts on some of the company’s most popular titles.
For a limited time only, the Xbox Store is offering up to 70 per cent off bestselling titles – from fan-favourite franchises to AAA epics and indie origin games.
Among the stellar savings up for grabs, there is 50 per cent off Cyberpunk 2077 (was £49.99, now £24.99, Xbox.com) and a huge 70 per cent off Borderlands 3 (was £64.99, now £19.49, Xbox.com).
Other standouts include Rainbow Six Extinction and Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, but the offers won’t be around for long. Below, we’ve picked out the creme de la creme of the sale. Gamers, ready?
Twitch
Microsoft is bringing Twitch streaming integration back into the Xbox dashboard for all Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One users, the company announced on Wednesday. The feature had been in testing since last October.
Microsoft removed its Twitch integration back in 2017, several years after it had first been added to its Xbox One dashboard. In the meantime, consumers who wanted to stream from Xbox to Twitch could do so from the Twitch app.
To get started, gamers can now navigate to the “capture and share” tab on the Xbox guide and select “live streaming” on an Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One console. You’ll have to link your Twitch account by scanning the QR code with an iOS or Android mobile device or navigating to the URL with either your PC or mobile device. Once your account is linked, you can select the “go live now” button to start livestreaming games that are downloaded to your console.
PS5
In response to Microsoft’s resounding success with its games subscription service Xbox Game Pass, Sony is reportedly buffing up its own service, PlayStation Now, with even more games and multiple tier options. After being revealed by Bloomberg late last year, this new project–internally codenamed Spartacus–seems to be getting closer to completion, as reports regarding its pricing and contents have now begun to surface.
According to a recent report by VentureBeat, PlayStation Spartacus will offer users three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. However, according to the report, these names are subject to change prior to the service launching.
The first tier on the plan, Essential, will supposedly run players $10 USD and offers up a small selection of games each month, not unlike PlayStation Plus in its current state. The Extra tier then starts at $13 USD, and comes not only with these “Essential” monthly games, but access to a larger catalog of PlayStation titles similar to PlayStation Now. Lastly, the Premium tier includes both of these features along with PlayStation Now’s streaming capabilities, a library of “classic games,” and a new “game trials” feature, allowing players to try out new games before they purchase them. However, the report states these trials will likely have a time-limit function similar to EA Play. Subscribing to the Premium tier is also the most costly option, setting PlayStation users back $16 USD a month.
