End The Week On A Game Note

Turn off the lights. Cozy up in bed. Grab your laptop (or your phone). And start the highlight reel.

The Ubisoft Forward event was a big streaming success, and there was a lot of gameplay revealed for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion, and Far Cry 6. And Xbox recaps some of the juicy details from that event, but even more exciting than those AAA titles is the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator, which is coming soon on August 18th.

Flying planes, crashing planes, and—occasionally—landing planes is one of the most rewarding gaming experiences out there, so the return to the old classic is wonderful. I can’t wait to see my hapless piloting skills unfold with the best graphics the flight simulator has seen to-date.

Xbox Game Pass is getting some new titles for subscribers to check out and there have been a whole host of updates and ongoing events for players.

Lots of goodies.

So sit back and enjoy the show.
