Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October 2023 sent shockwaves into the gaming community and Xbox fans were over the moon over the possibility of critically acclaimed titles coming to the Game Pass.

The development that comes following the acquisition is being considered a landmark for Xbox as they have been expanding their offerings since then. The first Activision game to arrive on Game Pass was “Diablo IV” on March 28, 2024.

Following Diablo IV, the rumors of many critically acclaimed titles arriving on the services started to make rounds with the likes of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6,”  “Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2”, “Spyro Reignited Trilogy”, and “Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.”

The following titles are reportedly arriving on Game Pass.

Tesla comes with a video games hub that is built into their center screen. The infotainment screen of Tesla does not just allow you to play video games, but it also provides plenty of other features. Pulling down on the tab presents many icons and features and one of them is the arcade mode. The arcade cabin launches video games on the Tesla.

With their most recent update, they have pulled the arcade option to the main menu bar. Entering the arcade offers you a full list of titles that the car supports. When you launch a game, you get a warning screen. This warning screen explains that things could go bad when playing video games in the Tesla. There are plenty of risks that come with playing video games in the Tesla.

Dangers of Distracted Driving

Tesla’s decision to allow car owners to access video games while the car is in motion is appalling to many concerned people. The feature of having a giant screen in the center of the dashboard can be deemed dangerous in itself.

If you are a true gamer or know someone who is, you would notice that their rooms are decked out with everything that they need to make their gaming experience a delightful one. Their gaming setup would include ambient lighting, a gaming chair, a high-definition display, a gaming console or gaming PC, and much more. Some would also have a mini-fridge in their room so that they don’t have to leave their stations for anything at all.

Speaking of mini-fridges, you must have come across the Xbox Series X Mini-Fridge meme if you follow gaming channels and groups on social media. It has caused quite an uproar, especially since Microsoft announced that it will make the meme a reality. Let’s talk about how the story unfolded.

How it Started

If you are a console gamer, you would be aware of the plethora of memes in which people make fun of the design of the Xbox Series X, which is Microsoft’s latest offering. The design of this console was made fun to the extent that Microsoft

This week it was revealed that a demo of Super Mario Bros. 3 programmed by Id Software for the PC was donated to the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.

The demo was worked on by Id in 1990 as a peek at how the popular Nintendo Entertainment System game could have run on PC systems. The demo was ordered by Nintendo, but the concept was ultimately scrapped with only limited Mario games coming out (which were mostly educational in nature).

The game never came to fruition but was a prototype that showed that games could run relatively smoothly on PC hardware. This was actually an achievement, as during this time many platforming games ran choppily. Examples of this can be seen in games like Mega Man, which were ported to PC and then quickly abandoned.

Speaking to Ars Technica, Strong National Museum of Play Digital Games Curator Andrew Borman said, “The individual who donated it was a game developer. It wasn’t something I expected to see in this donation,

WNBA player Candace Parker made history this week by being selected by 2K Sports as the first female cover athlete for the NBA 2K series of games.

Parker will be featured on the Gamestop-exclusive version of NBA 2K22 when it releases on September 10^th. The custom cover is meant to commemorate the 25^th anniversary of the WNBA, the first women’s professional basketball league to launch in the United States.

In a tweet, Parker commented on her achievement, writing: "Extremely proud and humbled to be the first female cover athlete in the history of @NBA2K. I’m honored to work with a company that’s investing in women and betting on us to succeed. I’m hoping there will be many more badass females to follow.”

There will be multiple covers of the game releases, with Luka Doncic, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Rui Hachimura all getting covers as well.

Parker, 35, is currently a Center for the Chicago Sky. She spent the first

While all of the hype has been surrounding Blackout recently, Treyarch certainly hasn't neglected the standard Black Ops 4 multiplayer by any means.

In fact, Treyarch has been very busy balancing and updating the game after their past multiplayer beta, and they have just now announced two new maps that'll be appearing in Black Ops 4's multiplayer.

The first map is Summit. This is a fan favorite from the very first Black Ops game, and many people are happy to see it return.

Summit is a research facility covered in snow. It's a fairly small map but it offers some excellent opportunities for close quarter combat.

The second map that Treyarch announced is Morocco. This is a brand new map that Treyarch mentioned will be available from October 12. Morocco takes part in a small Moroccan village. The full description for this map is as follows:

“Rebels in a small Moroccan village are using government military support planes as target practices as they fly over

The next wave of free Xbox Games with Gold titles have been announced. We've taken a look at all the free games Xbox Live Gold members will be able to get their hands on below.

First up is Overcooked. This is a co-op party game where players must team up to prepare a variety of meals for hungry customers. Preparing meals can get very frantic and all sorts of problems can go wrong.

As you play Overcooked for longer, you'll be taken to wackier restaurant locations with even more absurd things happening in the kitchen. Overcooked is frantic, action packed and an excellent game to play with your friends.

Over on the Xbox 360, Stuntman Ignition is available up until October 15. In this game, you get to control a variety of different stunt vehicles as you perform stunts on a movie set.

It's a game that'll put you through the paces and send you on a variety of action-packed challenges. The game certainly has a limited life span, but it's incredibly fun for the first

Fortnite season 6 has dropped and it's easily one of the most exciting seasons we've seen so far. Here is a quick overview on everything that has been added in season 6.

First, let's start with the new map locations.

In season 6, four new locations have been added - corrupted areas, corn fields, and haunted castle. The fourth place is a large floating island that moves around the map. There are also other changes spread throughout the map.

The season 6 battle pass is also filled with 100 new cosmetic items and plenty of other rewards. There are two new evolving skins - one called Calamity and another called Dire.

Both advance as you level up your battle pass. The Dire skin is perhaps the best we’ve seen so far - you start off as an ordinary man but slowly turn into a wolf as the skin evolves.

There are of course many other great skins in the new battle pass, including the Nightshade pumpkin head skin.

Pets have been added to Fortnite, as well.

With October starting, Sony has announced their free PS Plus games for the month. As Halloween will be taking part later this month, Sony has thrown in Friday the 13th to kick things off, alongside a number of other titles.

As mentioned before, Friday the 13th is easily the highlight of this month's free PS4 games. In Friday the 13th, one player gets to play as Jason Voorhees, while up to six other players must play as teen counselors.

The counselors must attempt to escape their location, while Jason gets to use a variety of tools and abilities to track them down.

The counselor players must communicate and work together to prepare a plan to escape. Playing as the counselors gives you a sense of panic and tension, while playing Voorhees is just as exciting, but for completely different reasons.

After that, we have Laser League. This is a fun multiplayer game that tests your reflexes and critical thinking. Laser League is very easy to pick up, but it takes lots
