Xbox has been attempting to break down as many walls as possible between players and games. Game Pass has been its flagship service , providing easy access to games on as many platforms as possible. That now includes Fire TVs and certain Fire TV sticks. This new integration completely removes the need for people to purchase an expensive console to play hundreds of amazing games through Game Pass, but it isn't completely pick-up-and-play quite yet. There are a few simple steps you need to take, but we'll make sure you can start playing ASAP, no console required.

Many classic games remain stranded on old hardware, making old consoles essential for playing those iconic titles. Remasters and ports may alter how a game looks and feels, making original releases often better options for authentic experiences. Modding old consoles breathes new life into them, enabling emulation, fan-made content, and...

When Blizzard Entertainment had Overwatch playable to the general public for the very first time at Gamescom in 2015, I queued up for line with a swarm of attendees and waited for hours to get my hands on the game. I liked what I played. So much, in fact, that I played a healthy amount of the game when it first released. And I’ve been craving a similar Hero Shooter ever since. Marvel Rivals has more or less scratched that itch with it’s 6-vs-6 formula and lack of Role Queue, reminiscent of the early era of Overwatch, but it’s a shame I can’t seem to get a Closed Beta key through the Twitch Drops campaign — because I would really like to play with my friends.

Xbox is giving longtime fans another blast from the past by holding a fire sale for titles from what many consider to be its best console, the Xbox 360. Moreover, it’s releasing a free dynamic background that neatly ties into the sale, and is a great addition to “The Original” dynamic background the company release back in 2021 that’s inspired by the user interface seen in the first Xbox.

I always tell people that iPads, specifically iPad Pros, have the best displays for any tech device. Even dating back to the 2018 iPad Pro, that 120hz ProMotion display was second to none. As we have gotten new iPads, Apple has doubled down on the display by giving us MiniLED with the M1 iPad Pro, and now we have new OLED panels with the new M4 iPads. But aside from using features like Sidecar, you cannot natively use your iPad as a dummy display for other video sources. I am going to show you how.

I never competed in Nintendo's World Championships, although I'm old enough to remember when the first one happened in 1990. Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, based on those competitions, is a clever idea for retro game diehards, collecting 100-plus small, timed challenges spread across an assortment of classic NES games. They can be completed against online opponents, in weekly challenges, or against up to eight people in the same room. It's a party game in the spirit of WarioWare on the Switch, fast and twitchy, but… I want more.

For many in the fighting game community, the Xbox 360 served as the genre's home as it moved into the online era, but that house is about to shut its doors for good.
