If you were hoping for larger updates, you’ll just have to wait. Epic is still developing […]

Ubisoft is developing five games for Microsoft’s next Xbox

[ad_1] Last week, Ubisoft announced delays for almost every game it has in development. With this new information, it seems likely that the decision was meant to give developers time to create next-gen versions of the games before Xbox Scarlett launches in late 2020. It’s odd that Guillemot only mentioned Xbox Scarlett and not Sony’s […]

‘PUBG Mobile’ Payload Mode adds helicopters and airstrikes

Steam’s redesigned Library is available to everyone

‘Apex Legends’ adds two-player teams on November 5th

[ad_1] Apex Legends players won’t have to choose between full three-player squads or (when it’s an option) going solo, at least for a while. Respawn is adding a “limited time” duos mode to the battle royale game starting on November 5th. Other details aren’t forthcoming, but the appeal is fairly self-evident. You can get backup […]
