The Activision controversy is now a sprawling mess, leading to Activision firing over 20 employees as a direct result of the attention. This attempt to keep its reputation above water does not seem to have succeeded, especially now that the spotlight has been placed on Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.

When this particular message pops up, it’s usually affecting more than one game. It’s also more than likely that the person trying to play the game is indeed the one who bought it. On some occasions, because the Xbox can hold multiple accounts and purchases, there is a chance that the right account does indeed need to be signed in to the console. However, when the message does pop up, it is almost always an error that needs to be fixed....

Microsoft’s head of gaming marketing Jarett West released a post on the official Xbox blog, Xbox Wire, stating detailing what the rest of 2020 will look like for Xbox fans, including details on when we will be able to see and hear more news on Xbox Series X and its upcoming launch lineup. According to Jarett, this Thursday’s Inside Xbox will be entirely dedicated to third-party Xbox Series X titles....

The event is organized by Microsoft’s Team Xbox, traditionally held alongside the prominent game award event The Game Awards.

Recently, Xbox decided to change the design of its official website to resemble a classic design from the Xbox 360 era. Known as the Xbox 360 blades, this retro theme received its name from the grayish-colored “blades” that contained different topics on the console dashboard. In addition, the developers intended for the look to resemble the design of the original Xbox 360. Many fans have enjoyed this classic look on the Xbox site....

Apple recently announced that both Project xCloud and Google Stadia’s apps would not be allowed on its platform. Apple has a set of heavily strict guidelines for apps on its store, part of which is its want to review every game that is offered on its platform. The tech company also requires that app developers pay a 30% cut of purchases on apps, and without game purchases to be made on xCloud, that might circumvent some of Apple’s business....

April 5 sees the release of two sports titles for Game Pass subscribers to check out. First up is Cricket 22, which is now available across cloud and console. Cricket 22 is the latest entry in the series based on the real-life sport, developed by Big Ant Studios and published by Nacon. Cricket 22 has been the subject of controversy as its original cover athlete, Tim Paine, was involved in a scandal and had to be removed....

At the time of this writing, there are five games currently confirmed to be on the way for Xbox Game Pass in February 2022. All five of these games could technically be considered day one Xbox Game Pass games, as while some of them have been available for other platforms before, this is the first time any of these games will be available on Xbox. One of the games is PC exclusive, but will still be available to play for free for those that have a PC Game Pass subscription or are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate....

It’s not that Xbox Game Pass releases haven’t been delayed before, as sometimes the game is delayed ahead of its day-one release or something is shifting behind the scenes, but it is an unusual scenario nonetheless. The game was announced and then delayed within the span of 24 hours or so, making it seem like the announcement was a mistake or something. Either way, it’s still coming to the service in all likelihood; it’s just not clear as to when....

Such is the case with Desperados 3, which is all ready to leave Game Pass later this month. After being released in 2020, Desperados 3 earned a dedicated fanbase that will likely be disappointed to hear of its Game Pass exit. Its presence on Game Pass may well have brought a boon to the fanbase, as new players on Xbox and PC could have been introduced to the real-time tactics game through the service....

It’s hardly surprising that Infinite is such a big deal, especially given the history of the Halo franchise. After some rocky initial marketing, the game seems to be giving players everything they want and reminding them of everything they loved about Halo in the first place. This includes meeting new friends online, an experience that, back when Halo 2 was released, was somewhat unique to the title, at least on consoles....

Although dedicated gamers may find it easy to tell the Xbox Series X/S apart from their predecessors, this is not the case for all new gamers and parents. During the holiday season, some parents may have bought the wrong console for their kids, and any confusion caused by Xbox’s naming conventions are counterintuitive to the brand’s success.

A bloated card with ups and downs and a convoluted main event was what we got. Away we go, with match grades and recap courtesy of SN’s Joe Rivera and Andreas Hale.

At the moment, the card for SummerSlam 2019 looks extremely exciting. Seth Rollins will be looking to get his Universal Championship back as he faces his old foe, Brock Lesnar. On the other side of things, Becky Lynch will be defending her RAW Women’s Championship against Natalya. We will also see the in-ring debut of ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. Let’s take a look at what’s waiting for us at WWE SummerSlam 2019 and where we can see the show....

The women of WWE have been pushing over the past few months to be made part of the show for the first time, but this now seems unlikely to happen, whilst a number of matches have been made for a sheer reaction rather than based off actual running storylines. Triple H vs Randy Orton and The Undertaker vs Goldberg have had very little build and it’s obvious that they are only on the card because the Saudi Arabian officials have asked for big names to be present once again....

Although the top title in the company has eluded him, Corbin has been placed in high-profile matches against some of the company’s legendary performers. But now, the former active general manager of RAW has a new goal in mind, winning the King of the Ring tournament. In the past, superstars have used the tournament to not only showcase their in-ring abilities, but take their characters to the next level. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin did so after cutting his famous “Austin 3:16” promo in 1996 and Booker T transformed into King Booker after his victory in 2006....

The men’s match will feature Roman Reigns and The Bloodline against Sheamus, Ridge Holland, Butch, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens....

And yet, on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live, Samoa Joe stood tall and proud with the US Championship. This came as a relief to many fans who thought that this was long overdue for the Superstar. But why was he made the United States Champion? This is a question that I shall attempt to answer in this article. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section. Also, do you think he’s a worthy US Champion?...

John Cena, who was present during the Hall of Fame ceremony, could have a surprise for us in store. A big return from a former WWE star was also a talking point in the rumor mills.
