A final trailer has been released for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier ahead of its release, and it teases plenty of high stakes and action on the horizon.

Streamed through the official Marvel Entertainment YouTube account on Mar. 15, the trailer offers a brief overview of some of the upcoming series’ key plot points. These include The Falcon working to come into his role as the inheritor of Captain America’s legacy, his evolving dynamic with The Winter Soldier and a new threat that has emerged for them to face.

Things kick off with scenes of The Falcon training with Captain America’s shield. Though he can handle it masterfully, the symbolic weight behind it has him struggling to fully embrace his new role as its wielder.

The Winter Soldier responds with an acknowledgement that it represents many things to people, though whether he means to say this as encouragement or a sign that he’s a rival for wielding it is unknown.

The trailer then moves onto scenes of a new group of villains wreaking havoc around the world. They all wear masks and boast exceptional physical abilities, but otherwise appear somewhat ordinary in appearance.

All the same, they are able to cause enough chaos to warrant The Falcon and the Winter Soldier working together to try and put a stop to their plans. Scenes of the two heroes fighting with the villains, dashing through cities and otherwise being heroic then follow in spades.

It’s a solid final glimpse at the series before it begins airing on Mar. 19, and fans of the MCU will want to view it for themselves down below.

Waluigi is finally getting his time to shine, as Nintendo has made a Switch wireless controller dedicated to everyone’s favorite mischief mustached Mario-villain. And it can be all yours…as long as you live in Canada.

Outriders will be available from its 1st April launch date via Xbox Game Pass on consoles and Android devices, Microsoft has now confirmed.

Developed by Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgment studio People Can Fly, the sci-fi RPG shooter has picked up positive reactions from its recent demo.

Today's confirmation of an Xbox Game Pass launch comes after a knowing tease by Microsoft over the weekend - and after People Can Fly announced two million people had downloaded the game's demo so far. (Including one person who has, for some reason, played 254 hours in just 15 days.)

Now that multiplayer is live in Watch Dogs: Legion, players want to know when and if they can play with friends on other platforms. With more and more gamers getting into the new generation with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the topic of cross-gen support has also come up. Luckily, Ubisoft has confirmed that Watch Dogs: Legion crossplay and cross-gen support is coming soon. 

As with many confirmations in recent years, the crossplay/cross-gen announcement was subtly made on Twitter. When one player responded to a Watch Dogs tweet saying "please enable cross-gen," the game's account responded, saying "While crossplay and cross-progression is currently not available for the Watch Dogs: Legion Online mode, the development team is working on adding this feature to the game with a later update." 

While crossplay and cross-generation-play is currently not available for the Watch Dogs: Legion Online Mode, the development team is working on adding this feature to the game with a later update.

This weekend, Microsoft was teasing an "anomaly" in an email concerning the company's newest Xbox Game Pass addition. Now, it's official! People Can Fly's Outriders is confirmed to be on Xbox Game Pass on day one of launch. 

Microsoft swears it's no joke that Outriders will be available on Xbox Game Pass on April 1st for Xbox Game Pass and Ultimate members. The looter shooter with RPG flare is the latest co-op experience from the Bulletstorm studio and published by Square Enix. For those that are excited about the upcoming adventure, Game Pass members can try it out for no additional cost. 

You can take to the world of Outriders solo or with friends to build up skills, explore untold dangers, make a new future for humanity, and figure out just what the heck that mystery signal really means. We loved our time with the shooter, which you can learn more about right here with our hands-on impressions. 

Today Firaxis and 2K Games revealed the content of the sixth and last DLC that will come with Sid Meier’s Civilization VI’s New Frontier Pass.

We get the reveal of a new civilization, Portugal, which will focus on naval expansion and exploration.

A new map script named Wetlands will bring more marshes to your games, while two new world wonders are the Etemenaki ziggurat and the Torre de Belém.

Last, but not least, a new mode will bring zombies to your game. I’ll spare you brains-focused jokes, because there are already too many in the trailer below.

If you’d like to know about the latest paid DLC, you can watch the recent’s video showing the main features of the latest package and another focusing on Vietnam.

Today Xbox revealed that Outriders, the highly-anticipated looter-shooter from People Can Fly and Square Enix will be available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers on console and Android to download on the game’s release date, April 1.

Console includes of course Xbox One and the Xbox Series X|S, and Android players will be able to play on their phones and tablet via Xbox Cloud Gaming.

While it’s not a total shock these days for Xbox to reel in a big fish outside of its own internal studio ecosystem, Outriders arriving on day one, as if it were an Xbox exclusive, is quite the surprise.

Keep in mind, though, that there’s no guarantee that it will be on Xbox Game Pass forever (unlike actual Xbox exclusive games) so if you wanted to take advantage of this perk, we’d recommend you get started right away on day one.

Games cycle in and out of Xbox Game Pass, although you can buy most games at a slight discount (10%) for keeps while they are live on Game Pass.

There’s no mention of the PC version of Xbox Game Pass, so for now, it’s safe to assume it’s just for consoles and Android users.

The Outriders demo has been quite popular, and our impressions of the game throughout the development have been quite positive. If you’re interested in learning more, here are six big things we learned from the demo.

Described as “the epic conclusion to the DOOM Slayer’s saga,” the second chapter picks up where the first concluded after the demons have razed the heavens and threaten to expand their control across the dimensions.

Here’s the new teaser:

For those who haven’t yet played Doom Eternal, Twinfinite highly recommends it after scoring the game 4.5/5 in our review and concluding that it’s an “impeccably designed game that perfectly balances every single aspect of its action to create one of the most challenging, exhausting, and consistently fun shooters in years.”

If you’d like to check out some more extensive gameplay footage then you here you’ll find another clip of the Doom Slayer in action.

Get excited, folks. Fortnite's next season kicks off on March 16 at 4 a.m. ET. Even now, a day before the event begins, over five thousands fans have gathered on Fortnite's YouTube page to wait and make sure they don't miss a thing. You'll see it all first on the YouTube page and then will get the chance to play it.

Fortnite's developer, Epic Games, isn't afraid to shake up the formula and surprise fans in unexpected ways. Even without any knowledge of what the next season will hold, we already know it's going to be radically different. Epic announced players will first play through a single-player experience before being shuttled to the core battle royale formula. Single-player Fornite? We can't wait to see what this will be like.

Maquette on PlayStation 5

During these opening months when there’s not a ton of games to play on the PlayStation 5, the free monthly offering on PlayStation Plus is more than welcome. Maquette — developed by Graceful Decay and published by Annapurna Interactive — is currently free on PlayStation Plus for the month of March 2021, but is it worth the download?

Maquette tells a cliché story about two people meeting by chance, falling hopelessly in love with all the Hollywood lines you can think of, and its inevitable downfall. Things start off with you navigating a bit of scenery as you make your way towards the first Maquette dome.

Throughout this, Maquette keeps its narrative almost too close to its chest, scrawling sentences of backstory on the walls about how the main character lost his keys and stumbles upon a box of painful memories from a relationship past.

Xbox Wireless Headset – Design and Features

Sony has announced that it is pulling down the shutters on the PS4's PlayStation Communities service. As of April the long-running dashboard feature - which allows players of particular games to build forum-style discourse, share screenshots, form parties, and other activities under the banner of specific titles - will be no more.

The announcement was made on the official PlayStation site as part of a general update about the changing face of the PlayStation 4 platform. Both PS4 and PS5 still allow for direct messaging, along with the public sharing of content, guides, live streams and tips for specific games. The PS5 in particular having a slew of features built around game-based communication, so it seems inevitable that Sony would start sunsetting some of its older social features. The PlayStation Communities mobile app was already shut down back in March of last year.

The PlayStation Communities service is expected to close with the arrival of update 8.5, currently expected to launch within the next five-to-six weeks. So if you have any PS Community pals you want to stay in touch with, best jump back into your local groups and start dropping some friend requests.

When Xbox Series X launched earlier this year (check out our review here), it delivered several improvements over its predecessor, the Xbox One. However, while one of Xbox Series X's main legs-up over PlayStation 5 is in how all the accessories you had for Xbox One, including controllers and headsets, were instantly compatible with your new system, PS5's Pulse 3D wireless headset delivered audio quality and features that no first-party offering from Microsoft could match. Now, Xbox is here with its own new-gen, first-party wireless headset to rival the PS5-launch offering of Sony. 

True to the mission of Xbox's entire pitch this generation, the Xbox Wireless Headset connected almost instantly with my Xbox Series S and updated wirelessly via the Xbox Accessories app. Once updated, I could go into the app and fine-tune how I want the audio to come through the headset, including various equalizer settings and bass boost, as well as how sensitive I want the mic's auto-mute functionality to be or how bright I want the mic light to be. Once I have the headset just the way I like it (or at least how I think I like it... I won't know for sure until I'm playing), it's time to jump into a game.

I’m not a fan of wireless headsets, mainly because I’ve had some bad experiences with them. So I was hesitant about Microsoft’s fancy new $100 wireless Xbox headset. Luckily, this new headset, while not perfect, is a solid piece of gear with some nifty features and a great design.
