Like all games available on day one, the four titles listed below are only for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass PC members. If you have a standard Xbox Game Pass (either Premium or Essential), you’ll need to upgrade your subscription to play these games when they’re first released. Interestingly, two of these confirmed games feature mice as the main characters.
Actors striving for excellent performances can sometimes become overly dedicated to their roles. This intense preparation, often seen in ‘method acting’ where performers fully inhabit a character, can occasionally lead to awkward or confusing situations with their fellow actors and the film crew. While not typical in superhero movies, there have been a few surprising instances of actors taking this approach to extreme lengths.
I’ve watched Luffy grow so much throughout his journey. After the devastating loss of Ace, he disappeared for two years to train, and he came back a much stronger pirate, having mastered all types of Haki. While his time with Rayleigh was incredibly valuable, I think he really hit his stride during the Wano Country arc, especially in his fight with Kaido. That’s when he awakened his Devil Fruit, and we finally understood the full extent of his powers. Honestly, in his Gear 5 form, he seems completely unbound and fights with incredible ease. He’s unbelievably powerful, maybe even unmatched in theory, but he still needs to work on his endurance to truly reach his peak. As it stands now, there are still seven fighters he hasn’t been able to overcome.
As a huge fan of superhero films and TV, I’ve always found the relationship between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Arrowverse interesting. Shows like *Arrow* and *The Flash* have often gone out of their way to show support for Marvel, trying to foster a sense of community where all superhero content could succeed. Marvel hasn’t really reciprocated that goodwill, but honestly, there’s something the DC shows do really well that Marvel could learn from – and it could solve a problem that’s been building for years.
The idea of a multiverse has become very popular in gaming, with many notable examples appearing over ten years ago. Some games used it to justify continuing a series with multiple sequels, while others wove it directly into the story and core ideas of the game. A few even built the multiverse into how the game *plays*, using different realities to highlight unique mechanics. Here are some of the best games that explored this concept over a decade ago.
Warning: Spoilers below for Peacemaker Season 2
Peacock has a lot of great shows for families that are easy to watch all at once – many seasons are short and the stories move quickly, making them perfect for a weekend binge. These shows are a great way for families to spend time together and enjoy a complete story as a group.
Nintendo Switch 2 owners have been cautioned against putting the console in sleep mode inside a bag with a controller. Apparently, the controller can accidentally turn the Switch on, causing it to overheat quickly while inside the bag. This overheating could permanently damage the console, and even if it doesn’t, it will drain the already weak battery life.
Wizards of the Coast previously hinted at another Universes Beyond set coming in 2026, and it’s now been revealed to be *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*. The new *Magic: The Gathering* crossover set will include Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, showcasing them in various designs. Some cards, like ‘Turtles Forever,’ even feature four different illustrations of the characters all on a single card.
Fans will be excited to hear that Charlie Cox is returning as Daredevil for season 2, and he’ll be wearing his iconic red suit! It’s a welcome bit of nostalgia, especially in this animated series which presents a different take on the Marvel universe than the live-action movies starring Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. It’s nice to see familiar elements in this alternate world.
