PlayStation console-exclusive Godfall finally coming to Xbox

By

PlayStation is losing console exclusivity on one of the PS5’s most notable launch games, Godfall. Developer Counterplay Games and Gearbox confirmed today that the live-service action game will come to Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Steam on April 7.

The Xbox and Steam releases coincide with the launch of Godfall: Ultimate Edition, a new version of the game that contains all of the DLC and updates for the game thus far. Godfall: Ultimate Edition will normally cost $40, though it will be discounted to only $30 at launch on Xbox consoles and Steam. It does not appear that Godfall: Ultimate Edition will be available via Xbox Game Pass on day one, so interested players will have to go out of their way to purchase it. If they do, those players will find that the Xbox Series X version Godfall supports variable refresh rate and Dolby Vision HDR.

On April 7, the Exalted update for Godfall will also launch and introduce many new features to the game. In addition to combat, boss, and menu tweaks, a new Valorplate shard system will be implemented and allow players to further customize their weapons’ abilities. A revive system and a recovery skill that will enable players to quickly recover from being knocked down are also coming, so Godfall shouldn’t be as punishing for Xbox players. This update will also introduce two new modes. The Exalted Tower of Trials will be a tough endgame challenge that will feature enemies up to level 150 and spawn multiple bosses simultaneously. Meanwhile, the Spirit Realms mode will task six players with working together to explore the material and spirit planes as they fight enemies.

The most common Xbox Series S problems and how to fix them

There haven't been many complaints about Xbox Series S since it launched in 2020. Serving as the more affordable sibling of the premium Xbox Series X, it plays all the same games yet works at a lower resolution – allowing it to carry a nice price tag of $250. Users have reported a few common issues with Xbox Series S over the years, however, which run the gamut from Quick Resume crashing to HDMI-CEC not registering a connection.

Running into problems with your Xbox Series S? Here's a look at the eight most common Xbox Series S problems, along with how to fix them. If you can't fix the problem on your own, things might be more serious than expected. In that case, be sure to contact Microsoft for advanced troubleshooting or to get your console replaced.

PlayStation has a secret weapon up its sleeve: the Hero Project

The video game industry is changing. As financial growth stagnates, companies like PlayStation have experimented with ways to adapt as markets and trends change. Where it was once able to rely on its first-party blockbusters to build and maintain an audience, it is looking more likely that it will need to invest in new strategies to prepare for the ways the industry is shifting. We see this with a bigger push into live-service and mobile games, but there's another initiative that isn't going to pay dividends in the near future but could set the groundwork for future success: the Hero Project.

Sony's Hero Project isn't a widely publicized or highlighted initiative -- even by PlayStation. Still, it's something every PlayStation owner should be aware of. It has the potential to be its secret weapon in the long run.
The world needs heroes
PlayStation's Hero Project is currently in its fourth iteration. Beginning in 2016, it kicked off with three rounds of the China Hero Project and has currently expanded to include the India Hero Project. The goal of these initiatives is to allow game developers from said countries to pitch their games directly to a special PlayStation committee. If accepted, Sony will then offer the team support with finances, technologies, marketing, and occasionally publishing.
