In an interview with Windows Central, Spencer highlighted the importance of innovating for owners of Xbox hardware and making them “feel great about their investment in what we’ve built.” While Microsoft continues to grow Game Pass, having it on competing platforms won’t be happening.

Splatoon 3 just received its latest update, and its next Big Run event starts this weekend. It’s a great time to splat some Salmonids for those of you who’ve never participated before.
If you don’t already know, Big Run is essentially a “giant Salmon Run” rotation that takes place on one of the game’s larger multiplayer stages. You’ll need to team up with three other players and splat as many Boss Salmonids as you can, all while throwing as many Golden Eggs into the basket as you can. Today, we’ve gathered a whole bunch of tips for new and old players alike (but mostly new players). This month’s rotation takes place on Barnacle & Dime and goes from Friday, December 1 at 7 PM ET to Sunday, December 3 at 7 PM ET.

Video: Batman: Arkham Trilogy graphics comparison
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
A new video from GameXplain offers up a new graphics comparison for the Switch release Batman: Arkham Trilogy. Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight are all factored in here depending on the game.
Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were always going to be easier to port over as they originally launched on the PS3 and Xbox 360 (City was also on Wii U). However, Arkham Knight is a tougher one to convert given how it first appeared on the PS4 and Xbox One. We should get more details on the technical performance once more outlets are able to go hands-on.
