Microsoft has updated guidelines that might help developers make their projects more accessible for people with disabilities. Now the studios will be able to send their Xbox or PC games for review and receive feedback on how to improve them.

Game developer and executive director at gamedev.net Rami Ismail has explained how Sony and Microsoft allowed Cyberpunk 2077 to release on consoles in the current buggy state. “Sony and Microsoft are NOT responsible for the state of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and Xbox,” Ismail says.

CD Projekt Red has apologized for not showing Cyberpunk‘s performance on PS4 and Xbox One ahead of the game’s release.

Game Pass sure does sound like good deal for players. But just how attractive is the platform for developers?

Market analytics company VGM found 72% of US players who have pre-ordered a next-gen console chose the disc version of the PlayStation 5.

Microsoft announced it will include EA Play, Electronic Arts’ subscription service, in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Game Pass for PC later this year. This will come at no extra fee.

“The smallest Xbox ever” will cost $299. This is coming from Microsoft itself that revealed its Xbox Series S (previously codenamed Lockhart) and confirmed its price and design.

Xbox Series X will be released in November 2020, along with fifty new titles. Halo Infinite, though, won’t be one of them.

According to MBLM’s Brand Intimacy 2020 Study, PlayStation is the strongest brand among millenials in the US, especially among men. Among Gen Z, Xbox tops the list.

Commenting on its Q1 FY21 financial results, EA said that 52% of its console full game unit sales over the past 12 months were digital.
