Fable Anniversary is finally available to play on Xbox One, via the console's backwards compatibility service.
Anniversary is the enhanced re-release of the original Fable 1, which launched all the way back for the first Xbox in 2004. Anniversary then turned up a decade later, in 2014.
Xbox fans have been asking for Fable Anniversary to be backwards compatible since the program's introduction. Microsoft has never said why it has taken so long, but it's good to have it now.

The warning, seemingly spotted first by Twitter user @Tidux, pops up when you attempt to play a PS4 game and a PS5 version is also available. The message provides the option to play the PS4 version or switch to the PS5 version.
This is a useful addition. In November, Eurogamer reported on how some PS5 users may have played the PS4 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War by mistake.

There's a new type of gaming mouse on the market: the ultra-light. These lightweight mice use honeycomb designs and other measures to cut mass wherever possible, making for a more manoeuvrable mouse that's easier to aim.
