Capybara Games’ Super Time Force won’t be making its 2013 release anymore, but it will now be coming out in 2014 for both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles. The studio is also bringing the top-down adventure game Below to Xbox One. Both that and the 360 version of Super Time Force are set to be published by Microsoft Game Studios, but the Xbox One version of Time Force will be self-published by Capy under the ID@Xbox program.

“To accommodate development of the Xbox One version, and to make sure we bring you the best game possible, we’re moving the release date,” a blog post on the dev’s official site reads. “While we had originally intended to release this year, the opportunity to do Super Time Force on Xbox One, plus the sheer insanity of releasing during new console launches meant that moving a few months into 2014 was the best plan for our game.”

Work on Below will carry on concurrently with Super Time Force, just as it was before Capybara added Xbox One to the latter game’s list of release platforms. Super Time Force is a side-scrolling bullet-hell shooter with a twist. Players get 30 lives to run through the game, but are able to rewind the clock on a previous death between lives. There’s been a lot of positive preview buzz around the Xbox Live Arcade release, and the addition of an Xbox One version will help to ensure that the entire Xbox-playing community is aware of it.

Microsoft has announced a 10-year partnership with Nvidia aimed at bringing Xbox PC games to its cloud gaming service competitor Nvidia GeForce Now as part of its ongoing efforts to win over companies skeptical of its potebtial Activision Blizzard acquisition.
This means that players can use Nvidia GeForce Now to play the Steam, Epic Games Store, or Windows versions of titles like Halo Infinite, Redfall, and eventually, Call of Duty through the cloud on GeForce Now. Third-party publishers with games on the Windows Store can also now grant streaming rights to Nvidia. This announcement came during a European Commission hearing where Microsoft tried to convince regulators that its impending acquisition should bne allowed.
Microsoft has been under a lot of regulatory scrutiny even since it announced its intent to acquire Activision Blizzard in January 2022. It's trying to win over industry peers with deals like this one with Nvidia. This week, the Communications Workers of America voiced its approval of the deal, and Microsoft has signed a binding agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms as well. Previously, Nvidia had raised concerns about Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition, but the press release announcing this agreement states that the deal "resolves Nvidia's concerns," and that Nvidia now gives "full support for regulatory approval of the acquisition."
Regulatory bodies in the U.S., U.K., and Europe are worried that Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard will hurt the game industry and sabotage Microsoft's competitors in both console and cloud gaming. Nvidia GeForce Now is seen as one of the biggest competitors to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's cloud service offerings, which makes it surprising that it reached an agreement with Nvidia. However, this deal also demonstrates how Microsoft is willing to make concessions so that its acquisition of Activision Blizzard is approved.

Nvidia revealed that A Plague Tale: Requiem is heading to the GeForce Now cloud gaming service on the same day it releases on other platforms. The best part about the game's expansion to the service is that it will support ray tracing.

The company said in a blog post on Thursday that A Plague Tale: Requiem will support ray-traced effects for GeForce Now users who are RTX 3080 and Priority members, even if they don't own a powerful gaming PC. The game can even be streamed on Mac and mobile phones, which normally wouldn't support large games otherwise. Take a look at the video Nvidia shared two weeks ago demonstrating the game's performance enhanced by ray tracing.
