Check out our review of Titanfall.

If you’ve been patiently waiting for access to the Titanfall beta, your ship has finally come in: any Xbox One owner can now try out the game for free by visiting the new demos section on their console. Respawn founder Vince Zampella tweeted the news that the beta is now “fully open” for business.

If you can’t see the Titanfall beta entry right away, it should appear very soon as access is rolled out globally. Code-free PC access is also expected to be announced today, though it wasn’t at the time of writing — we’ll update this post if the situation changes.

Titanfall developers are hoping that the extra players will be able to stress-test the game and help to iron out any remaining bugs before it’s officially released on March 11. If you’re going to dive straight into the game, we’d recommend checking out our comprehensive guide for Titanfall beta players.

Earlier rumors suggested that the beta would open up on Valentine’s Day, so that bout of speculation turned out to be close to the mark. We’ve already named the online multiplayer title one of our most anticipated games of 2014, and the final version will eventually appear on PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

The beta is scheduled to run until February 18 but is likely to be extended for at least a couple of days beyond that. Are you planning to get involved in the Titanfall beta? Is the game one of the major titles on your radar for 2014? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Xbox Game Pass kicks off 2024 by adding an all-time great remake

Mr.X pulling open a door in Resident Evil 2.

The new year has just begun, and Microsoft has announced the first group of games coming to Xbox Game Pass this year. Throughout the first half of January, Microsoft's game subscription service is set to receive eight new games. Most notably, Capcom's excellent Resident Evil 2 remake from 2019 joins Xbox Game Pass on January 16.

First released nearly five years ago on January 25, 2019, Resident Evil 2 set a new standard for horror remakes. It completely reimagined the original fixed-camera PlayStation 1 horror game as a tense third-person shooter with an intimate over-the-shoulder camera, while still retaining the core elements that made the original great. The influence of Resident Evil 2's remake can be felt not just in subsequent Resident Evil games, but in titles from other developers, like Alan Wake 2, Dead Space, and the upcoming Alone in the Dark remake.

Gamesharing is one of the best features the gaming world has seen over the past decade. The Xbox One was one of the first consoles to fully embrace this feature, and the simple process allows you to give a person you trust access to your library of downloadable games. This feature would carry forward to the next-generation Series X and S consoles as well.

Additionally, you can gain access to the games on your trusted friend’s Xbox account. The Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X make gamesharing easy, but this process does come with a few restrictions that you should know beforehand.
