News & Reviews:   Xbox One

Starting today, it is possible for players to stream Xbox One console games on their Android devices. All Xbox One testers including Xbox insiders in the Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead programs in the UK and US are able to do so.

The argument of which console player is better in PUBG may just be answered in early October. PUBG will be supporting cross-play on the Playstation 4 and Xbox One. So players from both Xbox One and PS4 will be able to match against each other in the 100 player lobby battle royale game.

Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft better watch out as there may be a new contender in the console field. Slightly Mad Studios, the company behind the games Project CARS 2 and Need for Speed: Shift, is currently working on a new console named “Mad Box” and it is expected to be out in 3.5 years’ time.

As mentioned many times before, 2018 was a very good year for gaming. We had an amazing range of games that were definitely Game of the Year worthy. This year looks to be no exception with two super anticipated games coming out at the end of this month alone. While we're excited for console games, we hope that this year mobile games get a huge range of games as well. Here’s our top 5 picks of games to look forward to from now till April this year!

Hey gamers! Last weekend was pretty intense with the KL Major rocking the Dota2 scene in our country. As someone who has seen many tournaments in her life, its safe to say that the KL Major is definitely one of the best tournaments I’ve seen in Malaysia thus far.

Attention to all FIFA fanatics out there, the latest FIFA 19 is now available for pre-order on Shopee right now for the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One as well as the Nintendo Switch with prices starting from at low as RM201. There’s also free shipping as well for those who are interested in getting the game.

As one of the major game consoles around, the Sony Playstation 4 is Sony's return to their roots. Rather than make an entertainment system as they did for the Playstation 3, the Playstation 4 beefs up the hardware, streamlines the interface and not-so-surprisingly makes it a lot more social. Is it enough to sway your decision away from the other major gaming console (sorry Nintendo, the Wii U is not competition)? Read on and find out in our Technave.com review of the Sony Playstation 4.

While there may be gamers who don't care about how much money they throw at their games and gaming consoles, these still don't compare to users who'd go out and get a $10000 (RM32375) Xbox One just because they can. Still, if one likes gold and other shiny things, then a gold plated Xbox One should be perfect. Currently available for around $10000 (RM32375), the gold plated Xbox One is available from Harrods of London. Tech specs and features are more or less the same but if the controller is also gold-plated you can expect to get tired from couch gaming very soon. No news yet of a gold plated AND crystal covered version yet, but just wait and see. Also no news of any Malaysia release dates or pricing, but if you're willing to shell out RM32375 for a game console, travel or shipping shouldn't be an issue.

When Microsoft first announced their latest next-gen console the Xbox One, it came with a whole bunch of restrictions including having to be always online and you couldn't lend games to more than one person. Even then, lending was one big hassle just for that one friend. Xbox fans can now rejoice though as Microsoft are taking back those policies. Check out the quote below:

"An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

Based on a recent interview from Alan Bowman, Microsoft regional vice president for sales and marketing in Asia, the Xbox One will only be brought over to Asia in November... 2014. Even then, this will only be for existing Asian Xbox Live countries such as Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. Malaysia was unfortunately not in the list.
