We’ve received a very positive response from our partners. According to Charla, most partners who’ve already had a game on Game Pass are eager to include their future games as well. We currently have deals with over 150 partners to add more titles, and we’re always discussing upcoming games with hundreds of partners each year.
I started watching Yu Yu Hakusho with a character named Yusuke Urameshi – he was a bit of a troublemaker who ended up becoming a hero. He actually died saving someone, but was given a second chance at life, and it set him on a path to fight demons and protect the world alongside a really interesting group of friends. The fights were intense, and honestly, the Dark Tournament arc was so good, it made me want to rewatch the whole series right away!
Yuto Suzuki’s manga, *Sakamoto Days*, is wrapping up its final story arc as it prepares for a big ending. Thanks to the popularity of the recent anime adaptation, the franchise is expanding! A live-action movie is now in production, and the first poster has been released, giving fans a sneak peek at how the series will be brought to life.
From the moment Steve Rogers steps into that army recruitment office in *Captain America: The First Avenger*, you just *know* he’s got what it takes to be a true hero. He needs the super-soldier serum to actually *show* everyone, but he absolutely delivers. It got me thinking about all the great things he says, so I’ve put together seven Captain America quotes from across the MCU that really highlight what we all already understand about him: he’s a genuinely good person.
Hideo Kojima recently told The Washington Post that the trailer for *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach* intentionally showed later parts of the game. He explained that he’s stopped trying to mislead fans with his trailers, a change he attributes to how media is consumed today.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle is the first movie in a new three-part series based on Koyoharu Gotoge’s manga. It quickly became a huge success, breaking records in Japan when it was released this summer. Now, after its release in the United States and around the world, the film has become the highest-grossing anime film ever made, surpassing all previous records.
The N-1 Starfighter was a noticeable upgrade in speed and design compared to Mando and Grogu’s previous ship, the Razor Crest, but it doesn’t seem like Mando preferred it. The trailer for *The Mandalorian and Grogu* shows Din Djarin back piloting the Razor Crest – a brand new version of the ship, not the original somehow surviving. This raises the question of why he’s chosen to return to the Razor Crest and leave the faster Starfighter behind.
As a huge Tolkien fan, I’ve seen so many Lord of the Rings games over the years! Middle-earth is just such a rich and detailed world, it’s perfect for all kinds of games – we’ve had everything from games based directly on the movies to fun LEGO versions and even survival games like Return to Moira. But if you’re looking for some of the older, truly great Lord of the Rings games that are still really enjoyable today, I think these three are the ones you absolutely need to check out.
Carina Conti, the actress who portrays Isabella Torrisi in the game *Mafia: The Old Country*, has revealed that developers are moving forward with a new installment in the *Mafia* series.
The Perfect Dark project started because there was a gap in the market for spy-themed games. Popular franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell weren’t releasing new titles, and no James Bond game was in development. The idea was to capture the feel of those games while still staying true to the original Perfect Dark on Nintendo 64. The studio looked to the HBO series Westworld as an example of how to successfully update an older game for a modern audience.
