Microsoft decided that this random Monday would be a good time to divulge some new details about its upcoming console, the Xbox Series X.
The machine is coming this fall, and we now know a bit more about its features and hardware. This includes a GPU of 12 teraflops, which is twice as many as what the Xbox One X has. The console will also support hardware-accelerated DirectX ray tracing and…
When the mobile-based Minecraft Earth was announced last year, it immediately drew comparisons to Pokémon Go because of its use of augmented reality and location-based activities. But it was very different (as senior editor Jess Conditt will attest), since it didn’t…
Jumping into a game like League of Legends is not for the faint of heart. Between a notoriously toxic community and the almost endless complexity of the game itself, there are a lot of hurdles new players have to conquer before they can start enjoying the MOBA. But Twitch…

Last year, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds started allowing PS4 and Xbox One players to square off against one another.

However, in return you get a more pocketable size and an actual D-pad on the left side.
'GTA4' is returning to Steam next month without multiplayer
February 22, 2020
Grand Theft Auto 4 will return to Steam on March 19th after it was abruptly pulled from the digital storefront last month due to an issue with Microsoft’s defunct Games for Windows Live service. Developer Rockstar Games will rerelease the game, as well as its Episodes from…
My original Nintendo Switch is still great. But over the last three years, I’ve realized it’s not the most comfortable thing to hold. Also, the battery life seems worse than ever. I don’t know if that’s because the games are more intensive or if the battery is just…
