Over the last few days, we’ve reported about Project xCloud first technical tests being conducted right at E3 2019, since Microsoft has made the streaming platform available for everyone after its media briefing. Reports have been mixed, perhaps due to the service still being in early stages, but it looks rather solid overall. Ars Technica has just posted one more reports, where it claims that the xCloud platform has shown a “rather indistinguishable” delay when it came to handline Halo 5: Guardians....

After months of being in the closed alpha state on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms, Hi-Rez Studios has just announced that their hero-shooter Paladins has finally entered the closed beta stage as of today. Though, despite the game entering closed beta state for those wanting to actually play the game are required to sign up on their website to get a code. Which may take awhile to get one, as it seems they don’t release them until a new patch is out....

I need this and I need it now. The INDIE Live Expo occurred earlier this morning and with it brought a lot of interesting indie titles, including updates on some already announced. All around it was a great showcase, but one game quickly stole my attention more than anything else shown off. And if you’ve read the title (yes you read it correctly), you’ll discover exactly why. Today, the team behind survival game Craftopia has unveiled their next title Palworld, a mashup of a third-person shooter and the critically acclaimed Pokemon series....

Patience and practice will be key. So you’re playing through Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and have discovered that, while playing through Score Attack or Arcade, you get a final evaluation at the end. This scorecard seems to mimic the social stats you’ll find in other mainline Persona games, but they appear directly linked to how you play the game and are more closely tracked than previously indicated. While this has no bearing on whether or not you cleared your arcade run, it can be fascinating to learn how to improve them, so read on for our guide on Social Stats in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax!...

TPV has launched seven new models of Philips LED and Smart TVs in India which come in models with display size ranging from a 22-inch panel to the 65-inch screen on the flagship Philips Ambilight 4K UHD LED Smart TV.

PlayStation Now is offering the chance to download games instead of streaming them, starting today. The service will allow you to download “almost all PS4 games” included in its library. “Almost all PS4 games in the service, including Bloodborne, God of War 3 Remastered, NBA 2K16, and Until Dawn, will be available for download, in addition to the PS Now lineup of classic PS2 games remastered for PS4,” says a post on PlayStation Blog....

You may remember last year when we learned of something known as the PlayStation Vita TV that was meant to work as the ultimate PlayStation media hub, with the ability to play not only PS Vita games, but also able to allow you to play the PlayStation 4 remotely on other televisions in your household. It released in Japan and parts of Asia last year to mostly poor sales, so some worried we may never get it in the US....

Nintendo has confirmed that those responsible for the leak of many pictures and details from Pokémon Sword and Shield will no longer be engaged. Pokémon Sword and Shield suffered from several high profile leaks before release, with many of the Pokémon from the Pokédex being revealed before the embargo dropped for the game. The leak broke the non-disclosure agreement, commonly used between a publisher and members of the press to ensure that articles such as reviews are publicly released when agreed upon with the publisher....

Fans of the MOBA Pokémon Unite received new information this morning about what features will be added alongside the game’s September 22 mobile launch. While there are plenty of changes to keep the game feeling fresh, a letter from Unite’s producer makes it seem like an even more important update is on the horizon: a play mode that would negate “pay-to-win.” Since its release, Pokémon Unite has received criticism from many players that the ability to use real-life money to quickly level up held battle items gave those willing to pay an unfair advantage....

Duplication glitch a casualty of latest update. Update 1.12 has arrived for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. The update itself it quite small in terms of what Nintendo says that they’ve fixed or patched, as they lump everything into a general category of “some issues fixed for more pleasant gameplay”. This has been confirmed to fix the menu and duplication glitch. The short and sweet patch notes can be found below....

While Pokemon Go’s popularity has certainly waned, there seems to be one thing that is able to bring back a ton of those lost daily players: holiday events. We’ve seen this a couple of times now, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s events that brought millions of players back, who in turn spent millions of dollars on in-game items. Everyone’s been waiting for the next one, which was just announced today....

One of the more surprising development over the last couple of years has been Nintendo’s push for the music of Pokemon on various fronts. The touring concert series has been great, but the best part has been the availability of various Pokemon soundtracks on Apple’s iTunes music service. Today that selection grows with the latest entries in the series, Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire whose soundtrack is now available to purchase....

The Pokemon Company has launched update 1.1.1.8 for Pokemon Unite, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch! As compared to previous Pokemon Unite patches we’ve covered here, today’s update is quite small in scope. Some bug fixes have come in, along with buffs to Blissey as it seems the team believes she’s quite weak right now. As per usual though, we don’t know how minor or major these shifts in power are, so her position in the meta is currently unknown....

Sony has just shared a brand new video about the most anticipated and upcoming PS4 games, which are set to be released shortly. The games feature a lot of the things we’re going to play in 2019, but also some of the titles we are anticipating so much but don’t believe are releasing this year. While Ace Combat 7, Kingdom Hearts III, Days Gone, Dreams, Devil May Cry 5, Rage 2, The Division 2 and others are expected to drop in a few weeks, there’s a good amount of titles not coming so soon....

The 2020 season of Overwatch League kicked off this weekend with Homestand games hosted by New York Excelsior and Dallas Fuel. It was an explosive start to the third season as each team proved the work they’d put in throughout the off-season, with surprises and upsets around every corner. Toronto Defiant vs. Paris Eternal was first up, playing Control on Lijiang Tower as their first map. It was a slim victory for Paris, mostly thanks to Ki-hyo “Xzi” Jung, whose amazing Symmetra plays led his team to a 2-0 cap, including a 0-100 cap on the Night Market map....

Microsoft has revealed the new entries in the Xbox Game Pass lineup for the month of May, and as anticipated the games feature PES 2018 and State of Decay 2, which is launching on May 22. This month, things will work a bit differently for the service. PES 2018 is going to be available from May 1 to August 31, probably in an effort to avoid the “free” title to harm the next iteration of the series’ sales....

In a multiplayer game of PES in the 2021 season update, choosing the team that plays to your style is critical for your success. You will want to make sure that you are playing as the best team to stand the best chance of coming out on top. Thankfully, there are plenty of great choices for teams from leagues around the work that can get the job done. The ratings for this year’s best teams are led by both teams at the top of the Spanish pyramid, Barcelona and Real Madrid, with many English and Italian teams, along with French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain....

Paris Hilton isn’t relenting on finding her missing dog following pet psychics’ confirmation that it’s still alive. The 1981-born media personality doesn’t seem to be giving up on her missing pooch, Diamond Baby. But there’s hope of finding the chihuahua which went missing on September 19. The multi-talented high-born lost her pet dog in a photoshoot while they were moving houses. One of the movers must have left a door open, and that’s when the DB must have innocently escaped....

Months after their breakup, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson opened up about their first red carpet encounter in a new episode of The Kardashians. The Thursday, November 17 episode showed the beauty mogul and her famous family priming up for the 2022 Met Gala, which would mark the first time the family would grace the red carpet event together. Making it more special for Kim was having her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson, accompany her to the event,...

Phil Spencer has once again discussed the console war topic, which has returned very strongly after Microsoft and Sony have reached an agreement over a partnership involving the use of Azure’s cloud platform for game streaming, AI, image sensors and more. Chatting with Fortune, the executive vice president at gaming at Microsoft has shared that he has seen a lot of people asking him why they were working with the enemy, and being disappointed at the fact that this alliance was being worked on....
