Microsoft is rewarding select Xbox 360 users in the U.S., U.K., and Canada with a $75 credit for upgrading to an Xbox One console, the company confirms. If you’re one of the lucky few — there’s no indication of how recipients are being chosen — you’ll be greeted with a message the next time you fire up your Xbox 360 that looks something like this:

Xbox 360 upgrade offerThe offer was first shared on NeoGAF by a user who, ironically enough, already owns an Xbox One. The credit is only rewarded after the new console is purchased, meaning you can’t use it to knock some money off the price of an Xbox One. To get the reward, you’ve got to register a new console with the same Gamertag that you use on your Xbox 360, after which a promo code worth $75 is sent out.

Act quickly if you get one of these offers, as it’s only good until the end of July. Furthermore, the $75 promo code must be used by October 14, and it must be spent within a year of being received.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention. 

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs.
