All you need to do is buy a one-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $14.99 and you’ll be sent a code for one additional month absolutely free. Call it half price, or $7.50 a month. Whatever the case, it’s a great deal on Microsoft’s blossoming subscription service that seems to be only growing stronger every month. Not only will it get you access to many big games on the day of release (as we’ve seen with Gears 5 and The Outer Worlds) but there’s also an ever-growing library of classics you’ll have access to....

While the removal wasn’t noted in the patch notes, Call of Duty: Warzone players noticed the lack of bounties after updating the game. Apparently, the bounties were replaced by the new contract Most Wanted. With this contract, you become a target for all teams on the map. If you survive you will receive a redeployment for all of your fallen teammates. The issue players, and some prominent streamers, are having with the removal, according to Charlie Intel, is the regular contracts, while being higher risk, had higher cash rewards....

PUBG added cross-platform support to PS4 and Xbox One last October. Although the pool of console players was united, the developer had yet to allow friends on different platforms to play together. Being able to create a cross-platform party has finally arrived in patch 6.2, which is currently available on console test servers. The feature launches to the wider community on live servers on Wednesday, February 26. Cross-platform parties were made possible thanks to an overhaul of the in-game friends list....

Artist Davy Productions has created an amazing little tribute to Cuphead using stop-motion animation. The video is short, and features use of models and some in-game assets to create an original story. Cuphead and Mugman are our heroes, and they’re squaring off against The Devil, as usual. The models are from McFarlane Toys’ Cuphead construction sets. The short’s presentation is a perfect recreation of the game’s own, complete with some action scenes that are perhaps its most impressive....

If you like golf and roguelikes (and let’s be honest, who among us doesn’t fit into that Venn diagram?) you’re going to love Chuhai Labs’ upcoming adventure. The premise is (fairly) simple: The game has you play as a pro-golfer that dies when he’s struck by a freak lightning bolt on the final hole of a championship game. Sent to golf purgatory, our hole-happy hero learns that the only way to escape the cursed afterlife is to golf his way through 18 supernatural holes....

As first reported by Game Informer’s Liana Ruppert, the review version of Cyberpunk 2077 was found to contain images that could risk triggering seizures in people suffering from photosensitive epilepsy. The worst of these was the game’s braindance sequences, which caused Ruppert to have a grand mal seizure. CD Projekt Red have been quick to react to the news, having added a new ‘risk of seizure’ warning message when players first boot up the game, before working on a permanent solution....

In Deathloop, you play as an assassin caught in a time loop. As Colt, you will wake up every day from the same spot on Blackreef Island, whether it’s the end of the day or the end of your life....

There are no conveniently placed bonfires in the Demon’s Souls remake - rather, it relies on a pretty standard autosave function. There’s no wrong way to log out of Demon’s Souls and it’s very unlikely you’ll lose any progress if you accidentally close it down or it crashes unexpectedly. The refined autosave feature is designed to protect your saves - as this is a next-gen console, the gameplay is more suspended as opposed to forcing it to shut down, so try not to worry....

If you like hunting for secret Triumphs, then you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for Penguin souvenirs hidden around Europa. Much like finding the Dreaming City Cats, finding these Penguins gives you a little bit of lore and counts towards Reuniting the Eventide Rookery Triumph.
