Microsoft has kicked off a new sale on Xbox Live. This week, Xbox One owners will find deals on a variety of EA and Bethesda games, while the latest selection of Deals with Gold includes discounts on Divinity: Original Sin II and a few other well-received titles for the console.
Nearly every installment in the Battlefield series is on sale in the Microsoft Store this week, including the latest entry, Battlefield V, which is down to $30. Xbox One owners can also purchase Battlefield 1 Revolution for $10 and Battlefield 4 for $5, while Battlefield Hardline Ultimate Edition is $9. Xbox Live Gold members, meanwhile, can pick up the last-gen installments Battlefield 3 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for $5 apiece; thanks to backwards compatibility, both are also playable on Xbox One.
Those aren't the only EA shooters on sale for Xbox One this week. Star Wars Battlefront II is down to $6.25, while the first Star Wars Battlefront's Ultimate Edition is $5. If you're enjoying Respawn's new free-to-play battle royale game Apex Legends and haven't tried the studio's previous shooter, Titanfall 2: Ultimate Edition is $4.50. You can also pick up Titanfall 2 alongside Battlefield 1 in a $12 bundle.
This week's sale ends at 3 AM PT / 6 AM ET on February 12, so you have until then to take advantage of any deals you might be interested in. Xbox One owners also have until February 7 to pick up Dragon Ball FighterZ for $24, Dragon Ball Xenoverse for $10, and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for $15 as part of Microsoft's ongoing anime sale.
Yes, you read that right. Microsoft has announced plans to bring Xbox Live to Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android, with more details coming in a GDC talk next month. The company says bringing the network to more consoles will "enable game developers to connect players between iOS, Android, and Switch in addition to Xbox and any game in the Microsoft Store on Windows PCs."
Until the publisher reveals more at GDC, we're not entirely sure what the move will involve, precisely. What we do know is Microsoft wants us to take our Xbox profile, including our Achievement history, friends list, clubs we're in, and more, to every screen--even rival consoles.
That ties into a wider recent Microsoft strategy to get its services on as many devices as possible. Gone are the days when it only wanted you to buy an Xbox One to be your "all-in-one" entertainment solution; now the company wants you to buy a Switch and play with your Xbox friends on it. Trying to pressure everyone into buying a Windows Phone didn't work--and was costly, thanks to the $6.2 billion (£4.7bn) acquisition of Nokia. Now, Microsoft Office runs on iOS, with a subscription fee for professional use. Instances like ex-CEO Steve Ballmer calling open-source OS Linux a "cancer" are in the past; instead, current chief executive Satya Nadella declares the company's "love" for Linux. It only makes sense for this platform-agnostic approach for Microsoft as a whole to involve Xbox. Sure enough, it's possible to play a huge selection of Xbox games on PC with Play Anywhere, and taking Xbox Live to other platforms seems a natural next step.
"I think if you get so focused just on hardware sales at this point, as gamers, we lose sight of what's going on around the console business," Xbox boss Phil Spencer told GameSpot in 2017. "Console's important. I love the console space, but it's part of the gaming business, it's not total.
"I look at those in aggregate, and so it's not actually about how many Xbox One Xs do I sell, or how many Ss do I sell, or even how many of one individual game that I sell. I look at, are we growing the number of people who have a relationship with Xbox in some way? [It] could be an Android customer in China playing Minecraft, but that's a person who's connected to our platform who's able to use Mixer, who's able to connect to Xbox Live, meet their friends online. That's really the metric for growth right now."
Ultimately, the real metric for growth is money. Microsoft's latest financial report states the company's revenue has increased 12%. Profit has increased by 18%. The company's share prices have tripled in the five years since Nadalla took over and began implementing this collaborative strategy.
In that sense, it seems an obvious move to bring Xbox Live to other consoles and to mobiles: it gets the Xbox brand to, potentially, an additional 2 billion devices by Microsoft's calculations. Nintendo in particular are the gateway to gaming for millions of children around the world--Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida once said the games industry "needs Nintendo to be very successful" for this very reason. Those children will soon possess not only a gateway, but a direct pathway to the Xbox ecosystem.
Children will soon possess not only a gateway, but a direct pathway to the Xbox ecosystem
But there's an elephant in the room: Sony is, thus far, not mentioned anywhere in Microsoft's plans for Xbox Live expansion. Whether that's because the PlayStation-maker wasn't asked, or because it didn't agree with Microsoft's collaborative strategy, isn't clear. What is clear is that the Japanese company has been less willing when it comes to joining forces than its competitors: it resisted the temptation of cross-play, for example, for many years, saying the PS4 was the best place to play and that's the end of it. It finally succumbed to the pressure, but only in Fortnite at first, and only in beta form.
What's odd is that Sony was once the frontrunner in this space: Portal 2 on PS3 allowed cross-play with PC players through Steam. More PlayStation games have allowed limited cross-play functionality since then, but only Fortnite and Rocket League allow full cross-play between PS4 and Xbox One. At least that's some sign of progress, though, and if Xbox Live on Switch is a success, more pressure will mount on Sony to follow suit and allow Microsoft's service on to PS4.
When I was growing up, the thought of playing Call of Duty or FIFA with my other-console-owning friends was a mere dream. With Microsoft's plans to bring Xbox Live to competitors' consoles, that dream is a step closer to becoming reality.
"When you look at Twitch and you look at Steam, look at PUBG, look at Minecraft," says Spencer. "People on Minecraft on Switch are playing with people on an iPhone. They don't own a Windows machine or an Xbox, but they own our game, and they're using Xbox Live across multiple devices. That's what gaming in the future's about, right?"
If you're looking for some more free games to play, six new titles are being offered through PS Plus right now. Most are available for PS4, but several can be played on PS3 or PS Vita as well.
This is the last month that players can expect PS3 and Vita titles in the PS Plus line-up, but all Plus subscribers are getting an extra 100 GB of cloud storage in exchange. For this month, all PS4 titles will be available through March 5, while the PS3 and Vita games will stick around until March 8.
If you enjoy Hitman 2, you may want to take advantage of this deal to download the first season of the 2016 game. After downloading 2016's Hitman, as well as its latest patch, go to its in-game store to redeem and download the Legacy Pack. Once that's installed, you can unlock Hitman's levels in Hitman 2, which keeps you from having to switch back and forth between the two titles when you're playing.
Although it's not one of the games that's a part of PS Plus' line-up, Apex Legends just launched and it's a free-to-play battle royale game. You don't need a PS Plus subscription to play Apex, but if you have one, you'll unlock some free rewards in the game. With a subscription, you'll get two PlayStation-themed skins for the firearms Flatline and RE45, as well as cosmetic skins and banners for Gibraltar and Bloodhound.
From the creators of Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Apex Legends offers a squad-focused, hero-based spin on the battle royale formula. Taking place in the Titanfall universe, Apex has you and two teammates pick from a roster of eight unique Legends--each with their own unique abilities--and face off against 19 other teams on a massive battleground. Despite the lack of the Titanfall series' staple wall-running mechanics and Titans, Apex is off to a strong start, having reached 1 million players within the first eight hours of its release. Our review of the game is on its way, but until then, check out our impressions if you're on the fence about picking up Apex.

By Anonymous on Feb 05, 2019 10:30 pm Here's where to find the portal for the Ascendant Challenge and what to do while you're inside to land some Powerful gear.
It's time for another weekly reset in Destiny 2 has arrived, and that means a new Ascendant Challenge as the time loop in the Dreaming City resets yet again. We're back to the start of a three-week cycle as the Awoken continue to battle the curse. We're nearing the end of Season 5, but if you're still looking to reach the 650 level cap before the impending release of the next expansion, Joker's Wild, this is a great way to get there. Here's what you need to do and where to go to find the portal that can net you some Powerful gear.
Like in past weeks, the Ascendant Challenge involves using a specific item (a Tincture of Queensfoil) to receive the Ascendance buff. This allows you to see a Taken portal that sends you to the Ascendant Plane to do a mission of sorts. But the portal's location and your objective has been different each week, and that's true for Week 5. Before starting, though, be sure to grab the corresponding bounty from Petra, as that's the key to earning a piece of Powerful gear.
This week's portal is found inside a Lost Sector (Bay of Drowned Wishes) located right near Dreaming City's landing zone in Divalian Mists. You'll move to the midway point of the Lost Sector, killing things until a little before you reach a door that's locked. (You can skip the enemies, but killing them will likely be easier.) If you've used your Tincture of Queensfoil, you'll see the portal and can jump through to reach the Ascendant Plane location, Agonarch Abyss.
Unfortunately, there's a good deal of platforming involved here. You'll make your way down to a temple where a large tree is. Blight balls spawn in that slow your movement, and you'll have to deal with a pair of wizards who spawn in additional Thrall enemies. Take out the wizards and you're all done. You can see this all in our video guide.
The chest that you can then open is, as always, nothing special. But finishing the Ascendant Challenge completes the bounty from Petra, which nets you a piece of Powerful gear.
There's still some time before the end of Season 5, the Season of the Forge. The next big event in the game is Crimson Days, the Valentine's Day-themed celebration that runs from February 13-20. As usual, it'll offer unique cosmetic rewards, as well as some duos-themed events to celebrate friendship and love, and a unique bow you can earn for fighting in the Crucible.
Meanwhile, if you're still working on snagging Destiny 2's latest Exotic weapon, The Last Word, be sure to check out our guide to completing the steps fast. You might also want to get caught up on The Last Word's story, which continues into Season 6.
NetherRealm will hold its first livestream for Mortal Kombat 11, after having delayed the event due to severe and dangerous cold in the studio's home city of Chicago. It will start at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, and we expect to see it drop more details on the upcoming fighting game. Come right back here at that time to watch it all.
We're likely to get our first look at the recently announced Kano in action during the stream, possibly along with other character reveals and a new Fatality or two. NetherRealm could also use the opportunity to debut new skins or other cosmetic items, given that the sequel is offering deep customization options.
Mortal Kombat 11 will launch with three editions: a $60 standard edition, $100 premium edition, and $300 Kollector's Edition. The most expensive version comes with a Scorpion mask for all your cosplay needs. Pre-ordering any version will get you Shao Kahn and beta access.
Fortnite's 7.30 content update is now live across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The patch notes for this week's update detail a variety of tweaks and additions to the hit battle royale game, including a new weapon, limited-time mode, and more.
Headlining this week's content update is the previously teased Bottle Rocket, a new item that will rain explosives down on structures when thrown. Bottle Rockets drop in stacks of two and can be found either as floor loot or in chests, Vending Machines, Supply Llamas, and Supply Drops.
To make room for Bottle Rockets, Epic has vaulted another older item: the Boom Box. The developer has also made some major changes to environmental campfires. Previously, these campfire pits were decorative, but now they can be lit by interacting with them. Doing this will effectively turn them into a Cozy Campfire, healing all players within their radius for a limited time. However, each campfire can only be used once per match.
Finally for Battle Royale, Epic has kicked off a new limited-time mode: Wild West Duos. This LTM pits teams of two against each other with only a limited variety of weapons at their disposal, including Hunting Rifles, Shotguns, Dynamite, and the Revolver and Double-Barrel Shotgun, which have been unvaulted for this event.
While previous limited-time modes have typically run for a week, Epic says it is testing a new LTM schedule. Now, playlists will rotate out every few days "to allow a more diverse amount of modes to be available over the course of a week."
Save the World mode also receives some new content this week, including another Frostnite challenge. A new hero, Subzero Zenith, is also available in the Event Store, and the Dragon weapons have returned for the Lunar New Year. You can find the full patch notes for the 7.30 content update, courtesy of Epic's website, below.

Kingdom Hearts 3 has shipped more than five million copies, according to Square Enix. The figure, which includes digital and physical sales, makes it the fastest selling game in the series. This is a shipped figure instead of sold through to customers, but it's still an impressive feat for the first week on the market.
The high sales make sense, given the anticipation for this third installment. Kingdom Hearts 2 released more than a decade ago, so fans have been waiting a long time for the conclusion of the story. Though the time between has been filled with side-stories that fill in some gaps, like Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, the first numbered entry in so long was bound to make a splash.
"What sticks with me is the exciting battle against elemental titans with Hercules, taking Rapunzel out into the unfamiliar wide world for the first time, snapping selfies with Winnie the Pooh, and going toe to toe with Davy Jones," critic Tamoor Hussain wrote in GameSpot's review. "In 2002, as Sora, I left Destiny Islands to travel across the universe and make new friends. In 2019 I brought old ones home, and I had so much fun doing it."
Apex Legends surprise-launched without much pre-release hype, so you may have missed that some platforms are offering bonus packs for the free-to-play shooter. If you subscribe to Origin Access, PlayStation Plus, or the Xbox-exclusive EA Access, you already have some extra loot waiting for you.
Both the Origin Access and EA Access bonus packs are given automatically the first time you log in. Each will give you an epic weapon skin, a banner card badge, and 1,000 Apex coins. The PlayStation Plus bonus is a separate item that has to be manually downloaded from the PlayStation Store. It gets you two PlayStation-themed weapon camos (Flatline and RE45), along with character camos and banners for Gibraltar and Bloodhound.
The Apex Coins can be traded in for Apex Packs, the game's version of loot boxes. That means you'll probably score at least a few random cosmetic items. The Apex Packs can also hold crafting materials, which are used to purchase new skins. Starting in March, Respawn will also be offering a Battle Pass similar to Fortnite.
Apex Legends takes the battle royale formula and puts you into squads of three, composed of specialized characters with their own abilities. In short, it blends Overwatch or Rainbow Six Seige-like abilities into the popular genre, and then sets it in Respawn's own Titanfall universe. The game is off to a strong start, having reached 1 million players in just its first eight hours. Check out our first impressions, and read up on the characters you can select from.
The Game of Thrones prequel TV show will start filming early this summer, HBO has confirmed. Programming president Casey Bloys confirmed the production start time with Entertainment Weekly.
This matches up with the timeline that Bloys confirmed previously when he stated that the untitled prequel show was pegged to begin production in the first half of 2019.
Importantly, what's being filmed is only the single pilot episodes; additional episodes have yet to be ordered. Jessica Jones director SJ Clarkson is directing the show, which will star Naomi Watts. X-Men: First Class' Jane Goldman will serve as showrunner. Goldman created the concept for the show alongside writer George R.R. Martin. According to EW, while only one episode has been ordered so far, the writers are already working on more scripts for future episodes in the event that HBO decides to pick it up to become a series.
The show isn't expected to air until at least a year after Game of Thrones ends, so that means it may not come out until 2020 or 2021. It's also possible the show doesn't get picked up to series.
While it's yet to receive an official title, Martin suggested last year that it would be called The Long Night. He subsequently walked that back, perhaps due to pressure from HBO that didn't want that name shared yet. In any event, it does provide some insight into what to expect.
Alongside Watts, January brought news on numerous additions to the cast. Characters haven't been confirmed, but among the actors who will be involved are Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: Episode IX), Toby Regbo (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald), Denise Gough (Angels in America), Ivanno Jeremiah (Black Mirror), Jamie Campbell Bower (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn), Georgie Henley (The Chronicles of Narnia), and Alex Sharp (To the Bone).
Here is the official description for the new prequel show: "Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world's descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros's history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend… it's not the story we think we know."
In other news, HBO teamed up with Bud Light for a wacky Super Bowl commercial promoting both the beer and the final season of Game of Thrones. The eighth and final season premieres in April.
Apex Legends, the new battle royale game just announces and released by the makers of Titanfall, is off to a fast start. Studio head Vince Zampella announced that the game reached 1 million unique players in under eight hours. Zampella said he is "so overwhelmed" by the news.
"Thank you so much for showing up and being part of this with Respawn you are amazing!!" Zampella said with a celebratory image.
Apex Legends, which is set in the Titanfall universe but doesn't feature the franchise's trademark Titans or wall-running, was announced and released today, February 4, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. On the subject of wall-running, Zampella said it "wasn't as fun and balanced." But he did tease that Respawn will "try new stuff" as the game's life goes on.
I'm so overwhelmed right now, @PlayApex broke a million unique players in under 8 hours. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for showing up and being part of this with @Respawn you are amazing!! pic.twitter.com/lvNgfwwKhl
Apex Legends will use the games-as-a-service model through which Respawn will continue to update, grow, and improve the game over time. The game will have a Fortnite-style battle pass with seasons' worth of content to unlock over time.

The Halo franchise has a deep and rich narrative canvas. It's great that developer 343 can use this to dive deep into the lore and tell new and interesting stories, and give further flavour to scenes with callbacks and references. But many would probably agree that Halo's overall story can be difficult to get your head around in some ways. For Halo Infinite, 343 is trying to strike the balance between providing enough depth story-wise for veteran fans, while also trying to be "approachable" for players coming to Halo for the first time or returning after some time away.
Justin Robey, who recently became the "Director of Player Voice" for Halo Infinite, talked about this on 343's latest Social Stream.
"Halo is one of those franchises where we have a lot of players who are probably going to come back when we release Halo Infinite," he said. "And we want to make sure as it gets in there that people aren't lost, which is one of the things that people complain about with Halo 5.
[People said], 'Ahh there's so many elements, and I don't really know what's going on.' Making sure there is enough meat and awesome for the fans and at the same time it's approachable for people who are coming back in [for Halo Infinite]."
Basically nothing is known about Halo Infinite's story, though 343 has confirmed that it'll focus more on Master Chief. That's good news, as Halo 5 strayed away from Master Chief in some ways.
Robey's new role as Director of Player Voice sees him essentially representing the player's voice during the ongoing development of Halo Infinite. A lot of this is staying under wraps for now, but we do know Halo Infinite will launch early through "flighting" programs through which people can play part of the game before launch and give 343 feedback to make the game better.
Halo Infinite is in development for Xbox One and PC, though no release date or other specifics have been announced yet. We do know it'll run on a brand-new engine called Slipspace. You can watch a trailer for the Slipspace engine in the video embed above.
In a rather unexpected turn of events, Titanfall developer Respawn announced and released its latest game, Apex Legends. This free-to-play battle royale is set in the Titanfall universe and is strictly team-based, with 20 teams of three players facing off on one huge map. In addition, the game has an emphasis on classes, with each character assisting and supporting their squad using unique special abilities.
There are eight classes (known in the game as Legends) to choose from and each has a specific role to play. Below we outline what each does, as well as offer additional insight into their roles and abilities.
You can download Apex Legends from the Origin store on PC, and on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 right now. GameSpot got an early look at the game, and you can read more in our impressions. We'll also have a full review of Apex Legends in the coming days.
Bloodhound:
The Bloodhound is essentially the tracker class. His Passive ability allows you to see where enemy players have been, while his Tactical ability pings the area to reveal tracks left behind by foes. And with the Bloodhound's Beast of the Hunt, your abilities are enhanced with increased movement speed and advanced environmental awareness.
Gibraltar:
Gibraltar is an ideal candidate for defensive players. His Passive ability is a riot shield that can deflect enemy fire, and his Tactical ability is a dome shield that lasts for 15 seconds after deployment. If your teammates are the type to get into trouble in a firefight, you'll want to use Gibraltar to protect them when cover is limited or if your team becomes sitting ducks. And when the going gets tough, you can support your squad with his Ultimate ability, Defensive Bombardment, which calls in a concentrated mortar strike on a marked position (warning: you can kill yourself with this, so watch out for that).
Lifeline:
Lifeline is your prototypical medic class. Her Passive ability is a one-direction shield that deploys to revive a teammate, while her Tactical ability is a drone that automatically heals nearby allies. If those abilities aren't enough to get your squad in good shape, Lifeline has an Ultimate ability that spawns in a pod filled with high-quality gear.
Pathfinder:
Sometimes a squad's path to success is made possible by a solid recon player. Pathfinder handles that role in spades with abilities that provide advantageous intel. This optimistic robot's Passive ability reveals the next ring's location, and its zipline gun is handy for getting to out-of-reach locations. It can also assist allies with its Ultimate ability, which deploys a zipline that can be used by all squadmates.
Wraith:
Wraith is an agile offensive fighter with an intriguing roster of abilities. Her Passive ability tells you when enemies are lining up shots on you or your squad. While Wraith doesn't have the highest defense, she can get out of trouble pretty easily with her phase shifting Tactical ability, which makes you invisible and invincible (even outside the circle) for a brief duration. Lastly, Wraith's Ultimate ability makes for a handy way to support squadmates, as you're given the ability to create a portal pathway for them to use.
Bangalore:
Bangalore is your standard soldier class with a couple tricks upher sleeve. Her Passive ability is an increased sprint speed under fire, while her Tactical ability are smoke canisters that can thwart pursuing enemies. But if her smoke bombs can't stop a sudden enemy offensive, Bangalore's Ultimate ability is an artillery strike that can easily push back the assault.
Caustic:
Caustic is a defensive class that can assist squadmates with practical area-of-effect weapons. His Tactical ability allows you to deploy deadly gas traps that detonate upon proximity or when shot. All the while, Caustic's Passive ability allows you to see enemies through the gas. And if all this talk of gas wasn't enough, his Ultimate basically blankets a large area in more deadly gas.
Mirage:
Mirage is for those who love to toy with their foes. His Tactical ability allows you to drop a holographic decoy, while his Passive ability takes that same decoy and deploys it when you're knocked down by the enemy. If these decoys weren't enough to fool the opposing team, Mirage's Ultimate deploys a team of them to further confuse enemies while you remain cloaked.
The Ted Bundy movie Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is coming to Netflix. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix paid $9 million to get the movie following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in late January.
The film stars Zac Efron as Ted Bundy, with its story told from the perspective of his girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer (Lily Collins). The film also stars John Malkovich, Kaya Scodelario, Haley Joel Osment, Jim Parsons, and Angela Sarafyan. It's directed by Joe Berlinger, who worked on the Oscar-nominated Paradise Lost series about the West Memphis Three murders.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netlix went up against Lionsgate and STX in bidding for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile before winning out.
Netflix makes a lot of sense for the film, as it already has Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, which was created by Berlinger. You can check out the first full trailer for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile in the embed above.
No release date has been set yet for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, but it's also expected to have a limited theatrical run along with its showing on Netflix.
