One of these leaked about a month ago when Kotaku revealed that Obisidan and Microsoft were in final negotiations…
[ad_1] Although we loved PUBG back when it officially launched, that praise was for the PC version. The Xbox One version, which left Microsoft’s Game Preview program back in September, is a different story; the controls are at times a little too complicated for a controller, but most importantly, it’s infamously unoptimized, meaning it runs…
[ad_1] Microsoft has announced that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which is still console-exclusive to Xbox One, is coming to Xbox Game Pass next week. Specifically, it’s coming this Monday, allowing you to play the game for free if you already have Game Pass. If you don’t have it, Microsoft is offering the first month of the service…

[ad_1] After the cavalcade of major events we had last weekend, it should be no surprise that lots of scenes (especially those revolving Blizzard games) are on cooldown.

[ad_1] Photo Credit: POPnGAMES/Instagram The Fallout 76 release date for PS4, Xbox One, and PC is November 14.
