This year is expected to be Microsoft’s strongest ever in terms of first-party content production, marking a significant shift following nearly a decade of demand from Xbox enthusiasts. With Microsoft’s recent acquisition spree finally showing results, we saw Indiana Jones, a game worthy of Game of the Year contention late last year. Second-party publishing achieved notable victories with STALKER 2 and Palworld. Previously hesitant titles like Genshin Impact, Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection, and Death Stranding also became available on Xbox. Add to that a steady stream of content from Blizzard, Activision, Bethesda, and Xbox Game Studios, and 2024 turned out to be an exceptional year for sheer gaming content.

A report from MP1st hints at a potential overhaul of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion remake, promising enhancements to gameplay and combat mechanics.

The insider reveals that the underlying calculations of these systems are being revised to minimize frustration.

Debuting in February 2024, this feature enables you to transfer images directly from your phone to your desktop for use. With this tool, you can effortlessly utilize photos taken on your phone or images saved on your computer without needing to send them to yourself or wait for OneDrive to back up your files. Leo Varela was the one who initially noticed this feature during its testing phase in 2023 and shared snapshots demonstrating it in action.

Typically, the Seagate expansion card for Xbox Series X|S can be found discounted quite often. Therefore, I’d advise waiting for a sale unless immediate storage expansion is necessary. However, the card is currently priced at an unprecedented low of $119.63, making it the lowest price it has ever been.

The unique appeal, eccentricity, and ambition to construct superior spacecraft catapulted the initial game in the series to sell more than four million units. With the community craving for additional content, publishers Private Division, in conjunction with Take-Two, recognized this demand and commissioned a sequel years prior to the completion of the original game’s content. In their perspective, this seemed like an uncomplicated success.
