This is your friendly reminder that Microsoft is set to close its Xbox 360 digital store on 29th July – that’s next Monday – so you have just a few days left to make the most of those last discounts on some of the best Xbox 360 games of the generation.
Microsoft announced a raft of discounts on Xbox 360 digital games back in May. Whilst some games will live on via other platforms and services – including Microsoft’s comprehensive backwards compatibility system – there are a handful of games that will disappear from sale forever. So, if you’ve ever fancied one, now’s the time to pick it up.

PlayStation live-service Concord won’t sell you a battle pass – would it be better if it did?

…

Ubisoft’s massive open-world adventure, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, is free to play until 28th July.
Right now, the trial is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (sorry, PC players), but those who can jump on are able to sample the first five hours, or until you reach Hometree in The Aranahe Clan mail quest – whichever comes first.

Let’s Play Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora PS5 Gameplay – WELL BLUE ME DOWN IT’S THE FIRST THREE HOURS!

What are you doing tonight at 11pm UK time? That’s right, watching Sony’s latest PlayStation State of Play broadcast right here with us. We’ll keep you up to date with everything that happens in a blow by blow account, and we would love to have you chat along with us as you watch the stream and tell us what you think.
The show begins at 11pm UK time (3pm PT) and is embedded below, and it runs for around half an hour, so it’s blessedly brief. Despite that, Sony has promised to pack in more than 20 upcoming PS5 and PSVR2 games, some of them new, some of them getting updates.
What do we expect? Well, the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 remaster because it leaked ahead of the show. But also probably the Until Dawn remake, and probably the Silent Hill 2 remake, after it was confirmed as a PlayStation exclusive the other day. And maybe the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster, and maybe a Days Gone remaster. Yes, we live in a world where remasters and remakes rule (give us Bloodborne you cowards!).
The newly unveiled PS5 Pro will also feature, in all its exorbitant expensiveness, as will myriad announcements of game-enhancements for it. Pre-orders for it open on Thu…
