We’re updating Game Pass with new plans and some price adjustments for both Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate will cost $29.99 monthly. While we’re adding benefits like Ubisoft+ Classics, this is a significant price increase. Here’s a breakdown of the new pricing across the three tiers, as shown in the image shared by Xbox: Game Pass Essential at $9.99 per month, Game Pass Premium at $14.99 per month, and Game Pass Ultimate at $29.99 per month. Keep in mind that only the Ultimate tier gives you access to games on day one.

Since it first became available, Game Pass has proven to be a hit with Xbox players. It has featured new releases on the day they come out, such as Starfield, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Blue Prince, and popular games like Minecraft, Halo Infinite, and Forza Horizon 5 have consistently been available, keeping the game selection strong.

Dot is initially launching in Tempe and Mesa, Arizona, as a limited early access trial before becoming available in more locations. This robot connects directly to DoorDash’s new Autonomous Delivery Platform, which utilizes artificial intelligence to determine the most efficient delivery method for each order – whether it’s through a Dasher, a robot like Dot, or even a drone.

Harmonix producer Kyle Wynn announced that Wario64 noticed on X that the game would soon be delisted. Wynn explained on the official Rock Band Discord server that “the original licenses for the core soundtrack are expiring,” but players who already own the game digitally will still be able to access and install it.

Ever wondered how sparkling clean Belle and Beast’s castle was during your last visit (besides The Forgetting doing its thing)? Now we have the answer! The much-loved enchanted servants have officially joined Disney Dreamlight Valley.

This game feels similar to classic monster-catching RPGs such as Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. It’s an ambitious effort to create the best Digimon experience so far-one that goes beyond simply relying on fond memories and strives to be a strong, contemporary RPG on its own merits. It’s a truly bold attempt.

Although the redesigned PS5 is a bit lighter, which should lower manufacturing and shipping costs, these savings won’t be reflected in the price for customers. It will still be sold for €500-approximately $586-when it becomes available and replaces the existing PS5 Digital Edition.

For now, however, you can still get a one-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $20 at Amazon.

This is the name of the new company Ubisoft and Tencent revealed earlier in the year. It is being managed by Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot’s son, Charlie Guillemot, and Christophe Derennes. Charlie Guillemot understands people are questioning whether he was hired because of his family connection, but he says he’s simply focused on doing his job. He wants to get straight to work.

As Josh covered in his preview, Digimon Story: Time Stranger offers a lot of customization options specifically for PC. After playing the full game for over 17 hours on PC, I’m really pleased with what’s included. You can change the display mode (borderless or windowed), resolution (from 720p up to 4K, with support for 16:10 and 21:9 aspect ratios), and target frame rate (30, 60, or 144). There are also several image quality presets, and you can fine-tune these settings: toggle v-sync, toggle FXAA, MSAA (from 0x to 8x), toggle TAA, toggle depth of field, toggle bloom, toggle volumetric fog, toggle screen space reflections, toggle ambient occlusion, adjust texture quality (low, medium, high), adjust texture filtering (from bilinear to anisotropic 16x), and adjust character density (low, high, very high). Digimon Story: Time Stranger also lets you rebind almost all controls when using either a controller or keyboard and mouse through the button configuration options.
