As of February 19th, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium members on both consoles and PC can now download two new games: Death Howl and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition. Ultimate subscribers also have access to EA Sports College Football 26. While both Death Howl and EA Sports College Football 26 are new releases for 2025, the biggest addition is The Witcher 3. This includes not only the main game, but also both of its major expansions: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.

Watkins explained that the game’s lobby system isn’t as simple as people believe. It’s not a case of being labeled ‘friendly’ or ‘aggressive’ based on one action. Everyone is mixed together, and the idea that shooting even a single enemy immediately puts you in an aggressive lobby isn’t accurate. The system is more nuanced than that.

Konami unexpectedly removed Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live. This means PlayStation and Xbox fans can no longer buy these games digitally in their original versions. Metal Gear Solid 4 was only removed from the PlayStation Store, while Peace Walker was taken down from both PlayStation and Xbox 360, as well as the PSP store. Although Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is still available as part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Metal Gear Solid 4 never had any other digital releases, making it currently impossible to buy digitally.

Hulu announced that Predator: Badlands had a bigger opening weekend than any other movie on the service since Prey in 2022, attracting almost 9 million viewers in its first five days. Disney also reported that people have watched over 300 million hours of Predator movies and shows across Hulu and Disney+ globally. These numbers show that while big movies still do well in theaters, the Predator franchise is especially successful when people can stream it at home.

Witchspire is a highly anticipated game on Steam, with over 100,000 players adding it to their wishlists. Its charming open world and magical atmosphere are major reasons for the excitement. Now, the developer, Envar, has released a new gameplay trailer to showcase a demo that will be available during Steam Next Fest. While the full game isn’t out until February 23rd, this trailer gives a closer look at the adventure and survival gameplay players can expect.

The new trailer looks really good and shows a game that stands out from other upcoming RPGs.

Hamaguchi explained that games load about twice as fast when using the Switch 2’s built-in storage compared to using a game cartridge. This is a key reason why Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will use Game-Key Cards.

Whenever people discuss the greatest RPG ever made, a common follow-up question arises: which is the best RPG from Square Enix – Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 7? Fans of Chrono Trigger might be excited to hear a new rumor suggesting that, like Final Fantasy 7, the 1995 game is also getting a remake.

However, this isn’t the first time a Silent Hill game has been released outside of Japan. Last year’s Silent Hill F, for example, launched simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The studio has a distinctive look, but it’s also influenced by many different sources, like TV, films, and literature.
