Your GOG account. When you go to the sign in page, you’ll see Xbox as an option.

Well this is pretty pointless...

So I linked my Xbox account to GOG but it created a user account using my Xbox email - so now I got a "Xbox" GOG account but its not tied to my actual GOG account.

NetEase is becoming the master of creating a studio made up of veterans only to shut it down before they even have a chance to release a game. There goes yet another newly formed studio of veterans, onto the next one, I literally can't get excited at all now about "veteran forms studio" announcements because it feels like half of them are closing before even revealing a game, let alone releasing one.

Aside from Kojima recently and I suppose Sakaguchi , has there been any other instance of veteran studios releasing a game lol.



[Gears of War] Reloaded ultimately pulled in 12.6% more Xbox players at launch than Helldivers 2, the much-acclaimed Sony multiplayer shooter that launched on Xbox Series X|S the very same day.

Gears Reloaded is seemingly selling well on PlayStation, Top 10 Best Sellers on PS Store in Canada, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, UK and USA. Meanwhile Helldivers 2 on Xbox is now #10 on Most Played Games, moving ahead of Marvel Rivals and GTA Online. Both are doing well on their 'rival' consoles.

Hopefully Spider-Man comes next, Lol.

Great news for both games.

I've already played Gears 1 twice (once on Xbox One Ultimate version and once on Gamepass on PC) so I'll get it later on Steam to play it again in the future.

Edit: Actually now that I think of it, I got the free key of Reloaded for my Series X lol.

Time for another informal review raffle.  This time it's for Wildgate.  If you don't know the rules, here's a refresher:

-One comment (per user) gets you into the raffle.

-Comments that violate TOS will be disqualified (obviously).

-Winner selects which version (PC, Xbox, PlayStation) of Wildgate they want.  In PlayStation's case, if I'm not able to acquire a code from a reputable site, I'll award the cost equivalent: $30 (or the equivalent to that in other currencies). 

Here's the link: https://www.vgchartz.com/article/465573/wildgate-xs/

Good luck!  I'll end the raffle sometime during the weekend.  Saturday at midnight (EST) seems like a good cut-off.

Looks like I was a winner on the raffle this go around. Really enjoyed Sunderfolk, so I was willing to give Wildgate a try. Glad I get to get it free in the end. Hoping to hop in this week. Thanks for the code!



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

I Am Your Beast just went to Game Pass. It's definitely worth checking out.

Silksong took all the budget for this Game Pass drop 🥲

I'm behind on my Game Pass list anyway.



As long as it's not a Paramount+ original, then I'm down lol
