Xbox and Windows 10 users are in for a big week as Microsoft releases more than 20 new games for both platforms. RPGs, platformers, and sports games are all part of the mix, so there’s something for everyone. Here are a few highlights.

Necromunda: Underhive Wars

This game is a tactical-RPG and the first video game adaption of the popular tabletop strategy board game. The player develops gangs with different powers and attributes and sends them to fight each other against the backdrop of a dystopian landscape.

The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu

The game requires a copy of The Sims 4 and will be available on Mac, PC, Steam, Xbox One, and PS4 on September 8.

Golf Zero

In the mood for a cute indie platformer reminiscent of Super Meat Boy? Golf Zero is 80 levels of platforming fun where the main character has to avoid hazards like saw blades, bullets, and boulders while trying to sink a putt. It has a fun throwback style and requires precision and timing. The game releases September 9 on Xbox One.

CarX Drift Racing Online

Drifting is the name of the game in this racing simulator. Play online with Xbox Live with matches ranging from 2 to 16 players. The game features crisp visuals, sweet locales, and a lot of drifting-induced tire smoke. There are more than 50 cars and 100 complete body kits, as well as countless customization options. The game will be available for Xbox One on September 8 for $30.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon

Fans of The Outer Worlds are in luck as the game’s first expansion will release September 9 on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. The new content follows Minnie Ambrose in a detective adventure, where players are tasked with finding out more about Dr. Olivia Ambrose.

You can’t share Xbox screenshots or videos directly to Twitter anymore
The Xbox Series S console on its side with controller.

It is no longer possible to upload and share screenshots and videos to Twitter from Xbox consoles or the Xbox Game Bar on PC. The move comes amid growing tensions between Microsoft and Twitter owner Elon Musk, who recently made a controversial change to the platform's API rules.
While Microsoft has not confirmed if this change is permanent, this disabling comes after Twitter rolled out new access tiers for its API, including an Enterprise tier that reportedly costs $42,000 a month. It seems that Microsoft has opted not to foot that bill, instead disabling Twitter's integration with Xbox on console and PC altogether.
Shortly after the feature was disabled, the official Xbox Twitter account posted a step-by-step process of how players could still get their Xbox screenshots and clips on Twitter by sharing them from the Captures menu in the Xbox mobile app. When asked by fans why the change occurred, all Microsoft would say is that "we've had to disable the ability to share game uploads directly to Twitter."

So far, Xbox is the only console manufacturer to disable this feature, so we'll have to wait and see if Nintendo or PlayStation follow suit. Still, considering how common sharing screenshots and videos taken while playing a game has become on social media, it's a surprising change for Xbox to make.
If this is an intentional, permanent change, it also seems to indicate that Microsoft won't be playing ball with Elon Musk's Twitter changes. The two are currently in a social media war, as Microsoft will also be ending Twitter support on its advertising platform, while Musk teased that he might sue Microsoft. No longer being able to share screenshots or clips from one's Xbox to Twitter comes as a consequence of this feud.

While the last-gen Xbox One isn't as powerful as the Xbox Series X, it's still a worthwhile console and has a huge library of great games.

If you're looking to stay competitive while playing online multiplayer games versus next-gen console and PC players or are just looking to avoid some wonky console interface that's difficult to navigate, you may want to try using a keyboard and mouse with your Xbox One. A keyboard and mouse will give you better precision than your standard Xbox One controller so you can keep up in cross-platform games without shelling out money for a top gaming PC.

While Microsoft was been hit with criticism for the Xbox Series X's slow-growing exclusive lineup -- several highly anticipated titles like Bethesda's Starfield and co-op shooter Redfall have been pushed to later in 2023 -- the company is still delivering one of the best deals in gaming: Xbox Game Pass.

Game Pass gives gamers access to a massive library of games that includes throwback hits, brand-new titles on release day, and indie darlings. These games can be played on Xbox consoles, PC, mobile, and even Steam Deck.
