343 Industries has released a new Halo Infinite hotfix, aiming to tackle Quick Resume issues reported by Xbox Series X/S players.
Last week saw 343 Industries warning against using the Xbox Series X/S Quick Resume feature during Halo Infinite's campaign after players began reporting that earned cosmetics were failing to show up in multiplayer inventories - an issue the developer explained was caused by Quick Resume failing to get sessions back online.

Capcom has played down reports that long-running Street Fighter character Fei Long can no longer appear in the famous fighting game franchise due to a clash with the Bruce Lee estate. Fei Long, originally created for 1993's Super Street Fighter 2 as one of four new challengers, is heavily-inspired by real-life movie martial arts legend Bruce Lee. Last month, Street Fighter 5 composer Daniel Lindholm suggested Fei Long may no longer feature in the series because the Lee Bruce estate insists depictions of the Enter the Dragon star must be "

UPDATE 1/11/21: Roblox is back online.
"This was an especially difficult outage in that it involved a combination of several factors," David Baszucki, Roblox founder and CEO, said in a blog post.
"A core system in our infrastructure became overwhelmed, prompted by a subtle bug in our backend service communications while under heavy load. This was not due to any peak in external traffic or any particular experience. Rather the failure was caused by the growth in the number of servers in our datacenters.

Salt and Sanctuary is a derivative Dark Souls clone - but it's a shockingly good one. Lots of games compare themselves to Dark Souls these days. Why wouldn't they? From Software's instant classic began as a niche import with Demon's Souls before taking the world by storm and spreading its influence everywhere. "It's like Dark Souls with zombies" Ubisoft would say about Zombi U. "It's like Dark Souls with cars"

inXile's old-school RPG is the Fallout game we've been craving. Before Wasteland 3 begins, the developers at inXile Entertainment present the player with a message. "Wasteland 3 is a work of fiction," we're told. "Ideas, dialogue, and stories we created early in development have in some cases been mirrored by our current reality. Our goal is to present a game of fictional entertainment, and any correlation to real-world events is purely coincidental.

The Destiny 2 beta finally arrived on PC this week, delivering a vast upgrade in terms of customisation over the console builds. Adjustable quality settings, unlocked frame-rate and field of view along with HDR support take pride of place in a package that seemingly does everything it can to capture the heart of the PC gaming enthusiast. It also gives us some idea of just how optimal the core code is, how well it scales across different hardware - and perhaps provides some insight into whether the upclocked CPUs in PS4 Pro and Xbox One X might be able to handle 60fps gameplay.

Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries has apologised after releasing a cosmetic item in celebration of Juneteenth with an offensive name. The offending item was an emblem which included a palette option called "Bonobo", which is the name of an endangered great ape. Juneteenth is an annual holiday in the United States to commemorate the emancipation of slaves in the country. After 343 was made aware of the issue, the studio updated the name to "

Ardennes Assault, the single-player standalone expansion to Relic's Company of Heroes 2, is a game about stories. Not the affected and laboured stories that dragged down the narrative in the base game, but rather the unique incidental anecdotes that are shaped during play. With three varied companies to marshal (and a fourth via a premium add-on), some of these stories are rousing tales of valour and derring-do - like the time that paratroopers of the airborne company were dropped behind enemy lines with a .
