Major Nelson has shared the latest batch of deep discounts available to Xbox Gold subscribers,including the first two Dragon Age games, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Rayman Legends, which are available from now through October 20.

Xbox One users are being treated to survival horror Outlast, the classic, turn-based arena fighter Worms Battlegrounds, and the excellent Rayman Legends for discounts ranging from 25-40-percent off. Xbox 360 is getting a decidedly more fantastical selection with Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age II, and the underrated Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (and all of their associated DLC) available for 50-75-percent off from their usual list prices.

Xbox Live Gold and Silver subscribers on both consoles have also been offered a 33-percent discount on the Battlefield 4 Support Shortcut Kit, which sidesteps the in-game progression by unlocking all of the base game’s upgrades and specializations (though not additions from expansion packs).

Check out the Xbox Live Store between now and October 20 if any of those games have been lurking on your to-play list.

April’s most anticipated RPG is coming to Xbox Game Pass

Key art for Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes.

We've learned about the titles that will come to Xbox Game Pass throughout the back half of April, and several of them are games getting added to the catalog the day they launch. Of those, the most notable is Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

While that name is a mouthful, RPG fans will want to pay attention to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes as it is a spiritual successor to the long-dormant Konami RPG series Suikoden. Many of the developers who worked on the original Suikoden games worked together to reimagine the concept for the modern era, creating an RPG with over 100 recruitable party members, engaging combat, and a gorgeous pixelated art style that gives Square Enix's HD-2D games a run for their money. Prequel game Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is already on Xbox Game Pass too, so Microsoft seems all-in on backing this Suikoden successor as we wait for Konami to release remasters of those titles or a new game in the series.

Fallout 4 is finally getting free Xbox Series X and PS5 upgrades

New Fallout 4 Creation Club mod content coming with the Xbox Series X and PS5 launch.

Bethesda has confirmed that the current-gen update for Fallout 4 will finally release on April 25.

That's good timing, as a Fallout TV show just released on Amazon Prime this month to positive buzz. Fallout 4 came out for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One in 2015, and this definitely looks like it will be the most substantial update the game has received since its last expansion was released.
