Telltale’s second Game of Thrones episode is coming much sooner than winter

By Will Fulton Published January 24, 2015

The second episode of Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series starts rolling out on Tuesday, February 3, according to the developer. Episode 2, The Lost Lords, comes to PC and PlayStation platforms first, on February 3, Xbox platforms on February 4, and mobile on February 5. Check out the trailer below, but beware of minor spoilers.

The situation looks dire for House Forrester. Its disparate members have to make some hard choices in order to weather the deteriorating political order in Westeros, where “nothing comes without a cost,” as Tyrion is quick to advise. The final third of the trailer is where the spoilers pop up, with some familiar faces from the HBO series appearing that hadn’t factored into the first episode.

Xbox Cloud Gaming could soon let players use their smartphones as controllers on TVs

Microsoft is testing a new feature that turns your smartphone into a virtual Xbox controller for gaming on supported smart TVs.

Xbox Cloud Gaming already lets you play console games on a compatible smart TV without owning an Xbox. But there's still one piece of hardware you need to get started. A controller. Microsoft is now testing a way to get around that requirement, allowing players to use their Android phone or iPhone as a virtual gamepad. The game runs on the television, while your phone takes care of the controls.

The feature is part of two new Xbox Cloud Gaming previews, and there's an interesting difference compared to what Sony offers with its PS5.
