Rumor: Ubisoft+ to join Microsoft Game Pass
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/rumor-ubisoft-to-join-the-microsoft-game-pass-system/
In case you missed it, a rumour has been circulating for some time that Ubisoft might add their in-house game subscription service to Game Pass Ultimate. A senior editor at windowscentral.com stated in a tweet a day before New Year’s eve that this suspected merger with Microsoft is very likely.
The editor in question is Jez Corden who has made something of a name for being on the inside of Xbox’s plans and future endeavours, so the community takes his predictions quite seriously. While Corden was not the first to hint at this rumour regarding the French publisher, his tweet adds a unique impetus to speculation on Ubisoft’s intentions.

MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

You can now play Mortal Kombat 11 in first-person or third-person mode
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/play-mortal-kombat-11-first-person-third-person-mode/
Mortal Kombat fans, here is something for you today. Modder ‘Ermaccer’ has shared a mod via which you can play Mortal Kombat 11 in first-person or third-person mode.
I’m pretty sure that most Mortal Kombat 11 fans will find this interesting. After all, you can finally “become” Sub-Zero or Scorpion. Naturally, it will be really difficult playing this game in first-person mode, however, we are certain that some of you will find it cool.
As always, we suggest avoiding using this mod in online modes. This mod could get you banned, so we highly suggest using it only in offline modes.
>> You can download it from GitHub.

Cyberpunk 2077 mod allows a new, fully voiced romance option for male Vs
https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-mod-allows-a-new-fully-voiced-romance-option-for-male-vs/
Cyberpunk 2077's world includes four NPCs that, depending on what type of V you've chosen to play as, can be romanced. Needless to say, if you don't want to know about them don't read on.
One of these romance options is Judy, and in the unmodded game she is only interested in V avatars that have a female body and voice. Modders have now discovered a change that allows Judy to be romanced by male V avatars: you'll need to have the Cyber Engine Tweaks mod installed, and the above video walks through the process.
The surprising element of this is that the scene is fully voice-acted, though the lines spoken by the male and female voice actors are identical. This extends into later scenes that only occur after the romance, and means that some of what the male avatar and others say does not make sense in the new context.
