Zelda Breath of the Wild player immortalizes Hero’s Path with in-game map wall art

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild released in March of 2017 as a launch game for Nintendo Switch. It quickly became one of the highest rated games of all time and is widely considered to be one the best games Nintendo (or anyone for that matter) has ever made.

Players are still searching every corner of the map to find new secrets, max-out their character builds and more. While it can be hard to say goodbye to these experiences once we have completely exhausted the content within, one Zelda player has thought of a very interesting way to immortalize their time in Hyrule…

Red Dead Redemption 2 gets official release date, more info & new screens

Nintendo has clearly had a strong foothold on the gaming market over the last year or so. Switch has now crushed Wii U sales as the fastest selling gaming console in U.S history over its first 10 months on store shelves. So it’s clearly going to take some serious heavyweights to sway the balance of power at this point, and if anyone is going to do it, it’s going to be Rockstar.

The Grand Theft Auto developer’s releases are just about always the biggest of the year and Rockstar has had its sights set on 2018 for a while now. We all know the company will be taking us back to the wild west in its next installment of the Red Dead series and Rockstar (might) have just given us an actual official release date along with some brand new screen shots of RDR2

It looks like Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition for iOS is releasing next month

$20

Square Enix released the latest main installment of its flagship RPG franchise in late 2016 to solid reviews. While Final Fantasy XV may not be a perfect experience, long time fans of the series were certainly appeased and steady DLC add-ons have helped the game’s post-release life span. More recently, Square introduced the Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition with the full season’s pass worth of DLC content, a brand new dungeon/environment, first-person mode, new gear and additional boss battles. Needless to say it is most definitely the version of the game to get if you haven’t invested in the standard version and its DLC just yet.

While the Royal Edition is offering those jumping in on this long after release a great chance to catch up on the entire package, Square also has a mobile version of the game set for release on iOS and Android…

Xbox Game Pass will now include Day 1 Halo, Forza, GOW releases + new subscription plans

When Microsoft first announced Xbox Game Pass back in June of 2017, there was an initial offering of some 100 titles available for play. But the subscription service at times felt like it wasn’t offering the latest games that we were all pining for. Fast forward to today, and Microsoft is announcing a few major updates to its Xbox Game Pass service.

Microsoft plans on expanding its subscription offerings to include all day one releases from its in-house studio, which includes future iterations of Halo, Forza and others.
