News & Reviews:   Xbox

If you think the design of the Microsoft Xbox Series X is a bit dull, then this special edition of the console will probably change your mind. More so if you’re a fan of Marvel Studio’s Thor franchise as in collaboration with the superhero’s latest movie, Microsoft has turned the console into Mjolnir!

Just a few hours ago, Xbox went live and showcased what they got in the next 12 months. During the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, there were many highly-anticipated video games such as Starfield, Forza Motorsport, Diablo IV, and Redfall, as well as other original IPs like Pentiment, High on Life, and Ravenlok. 

At the end of March, Microsoft released a PC Game Pass trial for the Southeast Asia region. We weren't sure how long would the trial lasts but looks like we got our answer as the PC Game Pass by Xbox is now officially launched in Malaysia.

After the announcement of Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard came out, the company will reportedly launch three new Call of Duty titles. According to a recent report from Bloomberg, the games are also likely to make it to Sony's PlayStation consoles rather than being exclusive to Xbox.

As most gamers heard by now, Microsoft Corp. has made an initiative to acquire Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion in value. There are a lot of reactions across the internet, some poking fun of Diablo 4 may finally be completed sooner while others are still concerned about Blizzard's internal mess of sexual allegations. But is this good news for gamers?

In the last few months, Microsoft has been working hard to push its games services to a wider audience. One of the company's biggest move is the Xbox Game Pass, which is meant to allow games streaming on other devices. Now, it's confirmed that Smart TVs are next.

Gigabyte Malaysia has officially announced that they have unveiled the AORUS 4K gaming monitor geared toward console gamers starting from the price of RM3599. The AORUS 4K will be available in 32-inch, 43-inch, as well as 48-inch variant for you to choose from depending on what you prefer.

Many of us consider corporations as these faceless organisations that are just out for the money. It's hard to tell if that's completely true these days though, with some of them embracing the modern-day fun. Specifically, we're talking about how Microsoft has been marketing its Xbox brand lately with memes and popular sub-cultures.

GSC has officially announced Big Screen Gaming on their Facebook page, where you can play console games at their cinemas starting from today onwards from the price of RM188. As of now, there are only 4 locations where the service is being offered such as the Queensbay Mall, Ipoh Parade, AEON Bandaraya Melaka, as well as the Paradigm Mall Johor.

Rumours of a smaller next-gen console from Microsoft has been around for some time. Allegedly, the console bearing the codename 'Lockhart' was said to be a less powerful variant of the Xbox Series X that lacks the Blu-ray drive. Earlier today, a new hint of the console's existence was leaked online.
