Microsoft has opened up Xbox Console Streaming to Xbox insiders in all supported Xbox Live countries. Xbox Console Streaming is a feature that allows players to stream games from their home Xbox to mobile remotely. Xbox Console Streaming is different from xCloud in that it uses your home’s internet connection and hardware. You need to own the games you’re going to stream, and they need to be installed on your home console....

Remember when you would get home with a new console and then rapidly switch between all the launch games you managed to get your hands on, just to experience them all as quickly as possible? Well, that’s not really possible any more. And it’s a bit sad. I am super excited about the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and have been ever since rumours of their existence spluttered onto the internet years ago....

“It was awful,” the Firewatch actor tells me. “It was really, really bad. My throat was bleeding. But I have learned, when I get a script that is all exclamation points or all efforts, I don’t audition them. I just don’t need them. [Performing creature sounds is] very weird. I’ve done it once, and I was like, ‘Okay, this hurts, and I am not interested.’ “Most games do have a pretty hefty effort section: a short punch, give me three of those; a big hit, swinging your sword; getting punched in the face; getting punched in the gut; getting roundhouse kicked in the chest; falling off of a five-foot ledge; falling off of a thirty-foot cliff, you know....

Today, the National Football League (NFL) and 2K Game announced a multi-year partnership for multiple titles. The games, unlike EA Sports’ Madden titles, will be non-simulation football games. While specific game titles, developers and release dates will be announced at a later date, 2K confirmed: “the projects are in early development and will launch starting in the calendar year 2021.” “The NFL is one of the most successful sports brands in the world, known for creating incredible entertainment for fans,” said David Ismailer, president of 2K....

Requiem is the sequel to the well-received A Plague Tale: Innocence, and takes place after its conclusion. We still play as Amicia, and her brother Hugo as they leave their home behind and venture into a new world. Requiem looks to also be a grim and dark tale, albeit one that will take us to a more colourful world compared to the original game. The trailer shows Amicia on a ship sailing South, so expect new places to visit and new situations to bring a tear to your eye....

Several of these mods - most of which are works in progress - have been collected in a convenient thread over on ResetEra. There’s also a handy beginner’s guide to modding for anybody interested in designing their own Persona 4 Golden mods, which can finally be done now that Persona 4 Golden is on Steam. The most ambitious project so far, however, is probably the Yosuke romance mod. Fans of Atlus will know that Persona games only allow you to have a romantic relationship with someone of the opposite sex - that’s why so many people regularly call for Ryuji to be made a romance option in Persona 5....

As with all console launches, some units are bound to be faulty. Even though it’s very early days for PS5, we sadly already have our first dead unit. The only PS5 console game reviewer @JeremyPenter has no longer works. Penter, better known as ACG on YouTube, revealed on Twitter that the unit no longer powers on. The YouTuber has seemingly been having issues with the console constantly re-building the database, particularly as he used external drives to store and run some games while testing it....

The number one thing at the forefront of this summary of what Activision Blizzard are doing to combat workplace abuse is to increase staff on its ethics and compliance and employee relations teams. These teams effectively have the mandate to investigate every single abuse claim they receive. As an added assurance to this bolstering of investigative staffing, the summary notes that more than 20 people have left the company due to these teams’ investigations....

Age of Empires 4 is coming later this year in the fall to PC and Xbox Game Pass for PC and through Steam. A closed beta is also on the way. A virtual village is also available to view through the Age of Empires website. During the presentation, one of the four historical campaigns available was shown, and it was the Norman Campaign. After that, the new unit Delhi Sultanate was shown going up against the English....

From March 1st you can celebrate Mario and co.’s 35th anniversary with a collection of in-game items available in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. These range from clothing and decorative items to faithful recreations of classic Mario level furniture. It’s not yet entirely clear how long the promotional items will be available in ACNH, or indeed if they’re sticking around for good. But with quite a few items to collect — and a limit on the number you can buy per day — it’s a good idea to start now if you’re hoping to redecorate your island with a Mushroom Kingdom theme....

If you’ve been sitting on Animal Crossing amiibo from the Wii U and 3DS, there’s good news - they are also compatible with New Horizons, as well as cards. However, you will need to actually unlock amiibo first. What’s more, with the release of the Animal Crossing 2.0 update, you can now call up amiibo friends from Brewster’s cafe too! On top of that, amiibo tapped into Animal Crossing: New Horizons will enable you do a few things - recruit characters to your island to come visit as guests or come join you more permanently, and also for the game’s cute new Photopia mode....

Back 4 Blood, a hotly-anticipated co-op zombie shooter in the classic style from Turtle Rock Studios, is off to a pretty thunderous start. The game managed to attract a whopping peak of 98,024 players over this weekend, and that’s just on Steam. The game, currently available as an early access beta test, became incredibly popular very quickly when it launched its early access, became one of Steam’s most actively played games in just a few hours – and its popularity continued throughout the weekend, per SteamDB....

First, when playing the campaign, you may have noticed that the game can sometimes throw a lot of random special zombies at you, often at the same time. This was an issue across the various difficulties, causing a sudden difficulty spike. The hotfix reduces the spawn rate of roaming special zombies on all three difficulty settings. “This is an attempt to address some of the concerns regarding the challenges presented by some difficulties,” said the developer....

With that in mind, I present you to a magical wand that will remove all ads on VG247 for one year. Usually this wand would cost you £39.99/$49.99, but over Black Friday you can buy the ad-erasing wand for the super low price of £25.99/$32.49. That’s a saving of 35%, which I’m probably obliged to say is brilliant, but it really is a nice saving. If you’re in the market for such a wand....

Ahead of the trailer’s release, DICE shared Hazard Zone gameplay details with VG247, and it sounds as exciting as all those leaks made it sound. The mode’s story kicks off in 2040 following a massive blackout that reduces the world’s satellites by 70%. In their place, superpowers launch low-orbit satellites to gather intel. These satellites are then forced down in US and Russian-controlled territories by various factions for the precious intel they contain....
