Microsoft hosted its quarterly financial conference call for investors and analysts and Chief executive officer Satya Nadella and chief financial officer Amy Hood talked about the Xbox business. Nadella declared that Microsoft is “all-in” on games, boasted the “rapid” growth of game pass, and leadership in cloud gaming. He also mentioned that Xbox series X and S are Microsoft’s fastest-selling consoles ever, while content creators in games like Microsoft Flight Simulator and Minecraft are earning twice as much this year compared to the previous year. “Gaming is the largest category

Earlier today, the Xbox Wire Editor in Chief, Will Tuttle, dropped some brand-new information about the many different biomes players will be able to find in Forza Horizon 5. Many of these locations were shown off over multiple livestreams back in June, but they never discussed the finer details about these places. A few places were talked about during their E3 programming surrounding this game, but we now know the specific names of all 11 biomes along with a few other facts. The biggest being that season will be returning

For instance, auctions saw an $870,000 The Legend of Zelda, a $660,000 Super Mario Bros, to even The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim hitting $600. Also, if you recall, there was a recent auction through eBay for a rare Nintendo e-Reader card, and today we’re finding out just how much the card went for. It looks like there is one gamer out there

REPLACED made a big splash at E3 2021, and for good reason — the upcoming cinematic platformer oozes cool, from its gorgeous 2.5D pixelated art aesthetic to the promise of a thrilling cyberpunk story set in a grim dystopia. The brilliantly directed trailer depicted a tantalizing and mysterious gaming experience that we here at Twinfinite have been making a song and dance over ever since. Naturally, the opportunity to speak with developer Sad Cat Studios was one we are hugely excited about. Already this week we’ve published a feature titled

[embedded content] Skull & Bones, Ubisoft’s PVP/PVE pirate-y Black Flag kinda-spinoff, is in trouble. A new report from Kotaku, which claims to have background info on the game from former and current developers who’ve worked on it, spills some more details on just how bad things have gotten behind the scenes for the game. It appears that no one really knows what this game is or what it should be. Allegedly, Skull & Bones’ development stalls every time the developers try and figure out what the game should be. At

It is, perhaps, indicative of Microsoft’s still-limited selection of upcoming Xbox and PC first-party titles that, for many, the most notable takeaway from its E3 2021 showcase was a side-scrolling platformer from a small Belorussian indie developer called Sad Cat Studios. But then again, REPLACED is incredibly good-looking. It catches the eye with the same stylish 2.5D aesthetic that had folks excited about The Last Night back in 2017, and its cleverly directed trailer exudes a similarly engrossing cyberpunk ambiance — one that has seen me rewatch it time and

[embedded content] A strange piece of gaming history that isn’t supposed to exist has re-emerged on eBay and is currently available for purchase. It’s a small card with Kirby on it, and it’s part of a group of Nintendo e-reader cards that were all supposed to have been destroyed about 20 years ago. Seller “andersoncentraal” has uploaded what they claim is proof that this item is the real thing — and if it is, it’s an extremely rare, possibly unique piece of gaming memorabilia. Here’s your history lesson for the

Psychonauts 2’s Aug. 25 launch is drawing nearer, and to set the scene, a new story trailer tees up another mind-bending and whimsical adventure with characters both new and familiar. For those not up to speed, Psychonauts 2 is the anticipated sequel to developer Tim Shafer’s (Grim Fandango, Broken Age, Brutal Legend) acclaimed 2005 platform game. Once again, the player will control Raz, a newly graduated Psychonaut with powerful psychic abilities, as he delves into the minds of others. Psychonauts 2 has endured a long and rather troubled development history;
