Battlefield 4‘s latest DLC, Naval Strike, is available on Xbox One for Premium subscribers as of today, Electronic Arts confirms. The content pack launched for Premium folks on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox 360 on March 25, but both the PC and Xbox One versions were delayed due to separate issues that needed to be addressed before a release could happen. The PC DLC is still targeted for “early April,” but there’s no specific date for it yet.

As with all Battlefield Premium releases, there’s a two-week window of early-access exclusivity before the packs are available to one and all for purchase. In the case of the PS3/PS4 and Xbox 360 versions, that’s April 8. For the Xbox One, it’s probably April 10 (the DLC started to come online yesterday, March 27). And for the PC, well … we’ll have to wait and see, won’t we?

The Naval Strike pack adds four new maps, a new Carrier Assault multiplayer mode, and an assortment of other knickknacks like weapons, gadgets, assignments, and a vehicle. It’s the third of five planned content packs for the 2013 shooter, following China Rising and Second Assault. All of those releases were delayed following in what is best characterized as a disastrous launch for BF4, which was plagued by server issues and other bugs.

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. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.
