Xbox Is Adding New 'Game Tile Tags' To Help Track Achievements And Other Things

Is it cool? Or does it clutter the dashboard?It looks like Xbox has begun rolling out a new dashboard feature that visualises things like achievement progress and social information when viewing your games tiles.At the moment, the tags appear to be limited to certain Xbox Insiders, presumably those enrolled on Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead rings. At a glance the update is tracking data and plopping these handy little tags inside or above the game tiles on the dashboard.Read the full article on purexbox.com

A former Senior Software Engineer at the studio specifically referred to this in their departure note:Read the full article on purexbox.com

Multiple Games From The '90s Are Making Their Xbox Debuts This Week

And they're actually available to play today!I don't know about you, but the older I get, the more I find myself retreating towards retro games as my ideal form of entertainment, rather than the sprawling open-world epics of today. Don't get me wrong, I still love a big AAA title when the mood strikes, but there's something particularly cosy about sinking into games from the '90s as well.With that in mind, I've had my eye on a few brand-new releases that contain multiple '90s games making their Xbox debuts this week. The first of these is SiN Reloaded, which is a remaster of the 1998 PC shooter from the geniuses at Nightdive Studios, and a game that "pushed the Quake II Engine to its limits".Read the full article on purexbox.com

Starfield Developer Says They'd Be Surprised By A Sequel, But Reckons It Could Be Re

“It’s, in a way, too bad".It's now been three years this month since Bethesda unleashed Starfield on the world after what felt like a really long development cycle, and while it still has a ton of fans who can't wait to see what else Bethesda is cooking up for the game in the future, there are others who felt like it couldn't quite deliver on the immense pre-release hype.What does that mean for a potential sequel though? Well, one former Bethesda developer has suggested they don't think a "Starfield 2" is likely, but also that if it happened, it'd get much closer to the "ultimate game" that was envisioned.Read the full article on purexbox.com

'We're Not Resetting Our Roadmap' - Bethesda Boss On Obsidian And The Xbox Studios S

It's said to be mainly a change in reporting structure.When Xbox announced its major shakeup of studios earlier this week, one of the companies that was affected was Obsidian, which is now officially part of the Bethesda group rather than Xbox Game Studios as it was beforehand.This has naturally led to questions about what the future holds for Obsidian, but according to Bethesda boss Jill Braff, it's primarily just a "change in reporting structure" and won't lead to a roadmap reset (on Bethesda's side at least).Read the full article on purexbox.com

Xbox Quietly Pushed Out A Small Console Update To Everyone This Week
