Xbox Game Pass subscribers on PC feel a bit “disappointed” with receiving less optimized game versions compared to Steam. While Xbox Game Pass offers good value on PC, many PC gamers find it limiting as the games can’t be played through Steam, their preferred platform. Moreover, updates for PC games are usually rolled out quicker on Steam than on the Microsoft Store, causing Xbox Game Pass users on PC to often play older versions of PC games compared to those on Steam. This discrepancy is increasingly causing dissatisfaction among subscribers.

A timeless gem from the PS3 epoch is making a comeback with a PS5 enhancement. The title we’re discussing dates back to 2011, a year that saw an abundance of exceptional video games like Minecraft, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Batman: Arkham City, Portal 2, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, LittleBigPlanet 2, Rayman Origins, Gears of War 3, Bastion, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Limbo, Dead Space 2, Super Mario 3D Land, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, Dark Souls, Terraria, Pokemon Black and White, L.A. Noire, Infamous 2, Catherine, Resistance 3, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, and Saints Row: The Third. That year was brimming with quality games, making it one of the outstanding years in video game history. However, many games from such a rich year often get overlooked.

David Dastmalchian, an actor known for roles in films like ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘The Suicide Squad’, maintains a passionate nerd at heart despite his success. His affection for comic books, ‘Dungeons & Dragons’, and anime is evident, and he’s never shied away from expressing it. This love of anime led to his recent casting as Mr. Three in the live-action Netflix adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s ‘One Piece’. In a recent interview, Dastmalchian talked about his role as a member of Baroqueworks, sharing insights into his acting process and speculating about how his character will translate to the “real world”.

Marvel Studios finds itself immersed in the ‘Agatha All Along’ phase, as the live-action series unfolds on Disney+. A follow-up and spinoff from the 2021 Disney+ series WandaVision, Agatha has introduced unexpected twists and turns while leading its characters along the winding path of the Witches’ Road. With episode three now released, a fresh inquiry arises – could the series’ initial apparent fatality be something more than it seems?

Games featuring monster training aren’t scarce, with Pokemon leading the pack in this genre. However, this year, Palworld presented a challenge to Nintendo’s long-standing franchise when it launched on PC, Xbox, and most recently, PS5. It’s no wonder that other upcoming games are now taking inspiration from Palworld rather than Pokemon, particularly in terms of style and features found in similar titles. One such game is Miraibo Go, and for players of both Pokemon and Palworld who are looking to explore another competitor, the developer Dreamcube has announced that Miraibo Go will be released on October 10th.

An enhanced quality-of-life aspect in the latest Xbox Series X and Series S consoles is a functionality that PlayStation 5 owners have expressed a desire for Sony to incorporate into their current console. This new Xbox feature isn’t revolutionary or likely to tip the scales in favor of Microsoft against Sony this generation, but it’s certainly something Xbox Series X and Series S users will find beneficial. In fact, some users have already experienced this feature due to the Xbox Insiders program. Now, having been tested through the Xbox Insiders program, this feature is being made available to a broader audience.
