A brand new Xbox One Insider update showcases some of the new upcoming features we can expect for the Xbox One, including a brand new Copilot controller mode.
The new Copilot controller mode will allow players to assign two controllers to a single control input. This opens up the opportunity for better accessibility for those with disabilities or better support for parent-child gameplay.
Here's an example of the Copilot controller mode in action: A parent can switch on copilot mode while watching their child play the new Yooka Laylee game. The parent can spectate, but when the child comes across a part they're finding too difficult, the parent can jump in to help with their own controller. Both the parent's controller and the child's controller will be able to control the characters in Yooka Laylee.
Alternatively, if a user has a disability that makes it difficult for them to access all of the buttons on a single controller at once, they now have the option to split

The Xbox Game Pass has been announced and it's seeking to be the Netflix of gaming.
The newly announced Xbox Game Pass will cost users a monthly fee of $9.99, but with it will come unlimited access to over 100 titles. Unlike Netflix, users of the Xbox Game Pass will be able to download their games and play them - there will be no limit to the amount of games a player can download at once, as long as they have enough internal memory and their Xbox Game Pass subscription is still active.
Some of the games included in the Game Pass are older titles that can be picked up for cheap, both digitally and in physical form, but a lot of the games are recent releases. Most titles on the list so far are considered to be very decent games, too.
Highlights of the Game Pass include access to Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of War Judgment, Gears of War Ultimate Edition and NBA 2K16. The Xbox Game Pass also includes a number of classic Xbox 360 titles and arcade games such as Kameo, Hexic

Dark Souls 2 Will be Hard
When the director of Dark Souls 2, Yui Tanimura, mentioned that Dark Souls 2 was going to be 'more accessible' than the previous game, many fans across the globe got agitated, taking Tanimura's words as a death sentence to the hardcore difficulty found within the first Dark Souls game. However, Yui Tanimura has just addressed the topic with some reassuring news to those who are looking for a challenge in Dark Souls 2.
Tanimura has said in an interview with VideoGamer.com, "What we meant by 'making it more accessible' was that we want to streamline away all of the tediousness, I suppose. We want to cut away all the fat and deliver a

Sony has teamed up with the devs behind the PlayStation exclusive to bring out a special limited edition PlayStation 3 with God of War skins on dual shock 3 controller included in the bundle.
Obviously, the bundle includes a copy of God of War itself, and in fact the bundle includes the special edition version of God of War Ascension.
The console model is a classic white super slim PS3 with a 500GB hard drive, and the controller has a design similar to the God of War Ascension boxset art. The

New Assassins' Creed DLC
Ubisoft has recently revealed a trailer that shows Assassins' Creed in all its nature.
The new trailer shows off Ratonhnhake:ton and his new eagle abilities which will be usable in the new downloadable content pack.
At first I thought it a bit strange to see the assassin character transform into a ghost bird, but it's important to remember that the world you play in in Assassins' Creed 3 is in fact a virtual reality, meaning anything is quite possible.
I still personally think things like this, and the previous invisibility cloak almost ruin the immersion of the game, and I'd prefer to stick to a game that

Metal Gear Rising Free DLC
We all know the devs behind the Metal Gear games have always had a strong relationship with Sony and PlayStation, and it's only been till recently that they've given up their exclusivity and offered the game on platforms other than the PlayStation.
However, a new move by Konami has shown that their bond with the PlayStation platform is strong, which sees Sony offering DLC for free for a limited period of time.
The recently released VR Missions pack adds 30 missions to the game, and although it had a pretty low price before in terms of downloadable content, it is now accessible for free from the PlayStation network

Metal Gear 5 Will Be More open-world
According to Kojimi, Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes will be revealed at GDC, giving us all more information on the game.
Although GDC is now less than two weeks away, those impatient can still find out a bit of information on the new Metal Gear Solid from an interview with Kojima from PlayStation.
The first thing that really interested me was that Kojima hopes for Ground Zeroes to be an immersive open world experience, and in fact, all his previous games he had hoped to create an open world environment, but due to the limit in hardware capabilities in the PlayStation 1, he has stuck to a leveled

New Turtle Beach Hardware
Turtle Beach has long been a well-known sponsor for many MLG players and leagues, and when crystal clear communication is relied on heavily in competitive team-based games, it makes sense that Turtle Beach would take the opportunity to flaunt their gear.
This year Turtle Beach aren't just flaunting their already released gear though, as they have announced a new range of headsets which will all reach the shelves later this year.
The new headsets have been named the P SEVEN for console, PC and Mac gamers, the Z SEVEN for just PC and Mac gamers, and the PX22 Universal Headset for PC and Mac gamers.

Battlefield reveal at GDC
Despite the fact that it hasn't even been that long since EA announced DICE were working on Battlefield 4, it seems like the developers of the game have now confirmed an earlier rumor stating that the game was going to be revealed at GDC this year, on March 26th.
Although I doubt we'll see more than a cinematic trailer and hear a little bit whilst developers talk about the game, some key details on Battlefield 4 may be released, including what platforms the game will be playable on, as well as what generation. First guess is to expect that the next Battlefield title will be available for next-gen consoles, but unless Microsoft
