Xbox Project Scarlett, a whole new Xbox that many are calling the Xbox Two, is coming. But some are wondering: could it be revealed sooner than expected… during Microsoft’s November Xbox X019 event? It’s prime territory for information on what’s big at the moment, and a gaming company like Microsoft’s Xbox Division’s key money-making period. Microsoft has already whetted the appetite of gamers with its E3 2019 reveal of the core specs of Xbox Project Scarlett. Xbox X019 will be exciting for diff

The PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2 has been a rough ride so far, as players have struggled with freezing, crashes, and generally poor overall performance. An update that’s expected to come out later today will hopefully help smooth things out for everyone, but Rockstar cautioned that it might not resolve the problem entirely. “We are aware that a small number of Red Dead Redemption 2 PC players are still experiencing some ongoing problems with the game stuttering. Rockstar also urged player

After all, if toasters can have RGB lighting, surely HDMI cables can, right? As a “limited offer,” Vivify is selling the 9-foot and 15-foot RGB HDMI cables for $79.99 and $99.99, respectively. As points of comparison, you can buy a 10-foot braided AmazonBasics HDMI cable for $9.99, or a 15-foot one for exactly $12. I personally tend to gravitate towards Monoprice for cables, and over there, you can snag a 10-foot certified premium HDMI cable for $5.80 (plus shipping). It’s made with “quality fib

November 14-16, 2019It’s that time of the year again: X019, Microsoft’s annual celebration of all things Xbox, is upon us once more. With Xbox Project Scarlett releasing in late 2020, we think (and hope) X019 will be dominated by news on Microsoft’s next-generation console.

Rare will announce a new IP at X019 this week, according to games industry analyst and reputable tipster Daniel Ahmad . It wouldn’t be surprising to see Rare make an appearance at X019, but if Ahmad’s right, the studio’s upcoming announcement will be something totally unexpected. We’re talking about an all-new IP, so there’s really no telling what Rare has in store. Likewise, it’s unclear how this mystery game will fit into Microsoft’s release schedule. We’re starting to see PS5 and Xbox Project

X019 is Microsoft’s celebration of all things Xbox, a big fan event in London where you can show up in person to play new and upcoming Xbox games.

The Inside Xbox broadcast is the main event. Where to watch X019You can watch the Inside Xbox stream via Mixer, but the event will also stream on YouTube, Twitter, Faceb

Google Stadia wants to make sure Destiny 2 looks, feels, and plays well when it launches on the groundbreaking game streaming service. According to IGN , Google devs worked in the Destiny team’s offices for six months, with Google employees even attending Bungie’s stand-up meetings. And since Google Stadia is entirely cloud-based, latency always looms on the horizon, so ironing out any issues with such an important IP is crucial before launch. Google noticed Bungie’s “distinct focus on the playe

If Red Dead Redemption 2’s PC version has given you problems since it launched last week, Rockstar has an update, apologies, and even a little gift for you. The studio announced a new Red Dead Redemption 2 PC update that’s coming to the game later today in a post on its official website . Rockstar says it will be a care package for Red Dead Online which includes the Prieto Poncho apparel item for your custom character and a selection of provisions and ammo.

There’s even been a player who’s beaten it using only using melee attacks. Only this time, he brought a fireteam, and they defeated Zulmak, the final boss of the dungeon, without even damaging him.

It’s a jokey platformer, a few minutes long but with some actually challenging platform moments that play on your inability (for most of the game) to walk to the right.

The latest Crusader Kings 3 developer diary tackles war, one of the subjects Paradox largely kept to itself when the sequel was announced in October. Armies in Crusader Kings 3 are mostly made up of conscripted peasant levies who aren’t very good at fighting but can protect your more valuable troops—your men-at-arms. These units have roles like light cavalry or heavy infantry, but there are also units unique to specific cultures or regions. As well as different stats, you’ll also find units who

According to a Polygon article written by composer Joel Corelitz, Sony suggested Corelitz reach out to Kojima Productions’ audio director Ludvig Forssell and offer his services on the Death Stranding score. Creating the Death Stranding score was “a strange process for a strange game,” writes Corelitz. The need for strange, disorienting sounds drove the composers to seek out unorthodox methods to create those sounds. “Shopping at Home Depot, guided by our ears, was a highlight of the project,” Co
