If you haven’t heard about the upcoming Child of Light from Ubi’s Montreal studio, here’s your chance to get on board. The game is set in the magic-filled world of Lemuria. It re-imagines classic fairytales with an RPG twist. Here’s the “official” breakdown:

Players will uncover mysteries, participate in turn-by-turn combat inspired by classic JRPGs, and explore a mystical kingdom. The game puts players in the shoes of Aurora, a child stolen from her home, who, in her quest to return, must bring back the sun, the moon and the stars held captive by the mysterious Queen of the Night. Helped by her companion Igniculus the firefly and several unlikely allies, Aurora will face her darkest fears, including dragons and other mystical creatures in this modern take on a coming-of-age story.

If you’re looking for more games on the next-gen systems, Child of Light is worth paying attention to. The game will be available for – bear with us here – PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One..

Microsoft is making a controversial change to the Xbox Cloud Gaming allowance, and it's going to leave a lot of Game Pass subscribers, including me, pretty miffed. So far, Microsoft has offered an unlimited number of play hours for cloud gaming to Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Well, the honeymoon period is finally ending.

Starting in November, Xbox will limit cloud gaming to just five hours for customers on the Game Pass Essential plan, while those who pay for Game Pass Premium will only have an allowance of ten hours. Users who pay cash for the top-tier Game Pass Ultimate subscription will get just 15 hours of cloud gaming budget each month.

The wait for Grand Theft Auto VI is getting another expensive distraction. Sony has unveiled two limited-edition DualSense wireless controllers inspired by Rockstar’s upcoming game, bringing Vice City’s neon-soaked aesthetic to the PS5.

Both feature a shimmering, color-shifting finish designed around the contrasting looks of Vice City - its bright coastal days and neon-lit nights. Custom palm-tree details are molded directly into the controller, while official GTA VI branding completes the design.
