Dead Rising 4 loses the "Xbox One console exclusive" label on December 5. The full game is coming to PlayStation 4 as Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package, including all downloadable content and a brand new "Capcom Heroes" game mode. It's like a game of the year edition, only without being anyone's game of the year.

Building off of a trailer released earlier this week, the developers of The Division delivered an impressive livestream yesterday that shows that the game's free 1.8 spring patch may be the best for players who are into combat in the game's open world. Some changes to how combat unfolds were especially encouraging.

It's been a summer of major updates to disappointing games from last year. No Man's Sky is finally delivering on its promises to PC and PlayStation players a year since it came out. Over on Xbox, ReCore has done penance for its flawed launch with a six gigabyte update that makes the game better, though far from free of flaws.

Three years ago, Bungie disappointed fans with a thin first piece of downloadable content for Destiny 1. For the sequel, the studio is aiming higher. Destiny 2's first DLC will centre on the space wizard Osiris, sources say, and it will come with a patrol zone and new social space, making it significantly bigger than 2014's The Dark Below.

A year after release, Overwatch players on PS4 and Xbox One now have recourse for the trash Mei who won't stop icing her teammates into the spawn point.

I've written more about Destiny than any other video game I've ever played. I've reviewed every expansion. I've written at length about raids and guns and competitive arenas. I've written about the community's often tortured emotional relationship with the game, as well as my own.

The latest premium wired controller in Razer's arsenal is a $229.95 beast with three different kinds of swappable thumbsticks, two directional pads, six remappable triggers and buttons, and a band of multicoloured LED for flavour. It's called the Wolverine Ultimate, after the angry weasel.

Grand Theft Auto Online's next major update is about helping Trevor's neighbour and paranoid friend, Ron, build a smuggling empire. This new content drops on August 29, and, as usual, will be free.

If you like moody teenagers having mysterious adventures, you'll be pretty excited by Oxenfree's inclusion in Games with Gold this month. There's also Forza 5 and Battlefield 3 if you've had enough of thinking about childhood. As always, these games are only "free" if you have an active Xbox Live Games with Gold subscription.

The new Weekend Warfare mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered might actually be one of the most ill-conceived and unbalanced game modes in the franchise's history.

With the launch of the Xbox One X only a few months away, Microsoft needs an interim win to keep people interested in the console that is currently in a very distant second place to Sony. Which is why it is no surprise that Xbox Marketing Manager Aaron Greenberg told GameReactor it was "talking to Sony" about the potential for crossplay between the two consoles.

Xbox Live is experiencing some serious downtime at the moment, with many owners unable to play games or even sign in.

Even the AI refs in Madden need glasses.

One of the most annoying trends in video games is the word "exclusive", which perhaps once meant "limited" or "restricted" but now, thanks to Microsoft and Sony, means absolutely nothing. Today's big exclusive is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Which probably isn't an exclusive.

Over the next two months Microsoft will be releasing some very Minecraft-themed pieces of hardware: an Xbox One S and two controllers. They have gone all in on the branding, to surprisingly excellent effect.

Update #1: That was quick. According to Microsoft Australia's online store, the Xbox One X 'Project Scorpio' is already out of stock.

Microsoft had its Gamescom conference this morning, and showed off a bit more of the Xbox One X and what it's capable of. Good times.

Also, Major Nelson posted an insanely exhaustive list of all the games that will be 'enhanced' by the Xbox One X.

It is a very, very long list.

Xbox One X will have a limted "Project Scorpio" edition available when it launches this Spring Microsoft announced today at its pre-Gamescom briefing.

If you'd like to hear more details about the Xbox One X, or you just really want to know when the hell you can play Sea of Thieves, then Microsoft's Xbox briefing at Gamescom might be worth watching.
