The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt celebrates its 10th anniversary this month, and we at CD Projekt Red have commemorated the milestone by collaborating with the Xbox team to create a tempered and battle-ready controller for players looking to expand their witcher's toolkit. Embark on the path with the Xbox Wireless Controller - The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition. This is such a special moment for both our teams, and we wanted to share some insight into how Geralt's journey brought this design to life.

Our team has put great care into representing the style of The Witcher 3 and Geralt himself, headlined by the wolf medallion iconography at the center of the controller. The medallion acts as a constant for Geralt, one that allows him to adventure and warns him of lurking dangers, and we want players to connect with these controllers in the same way. We love how the design fits the layout of the controller, with the wolf's head coming below the Xbox button and between the other inputs with its glowing red eyes. It's very ominous and epic at the same time!

Playable in both singleplayer and co-op (couch and online), Revenge of the Savage Planet sees you abandoned on an alien planet with no job and no plan, after Alta Interglobal, your now former employer, deems your mission to colonise space too costly, leaving you to scavenge your way across four unique (and savage) planets in an attempt to return home.

Xbox players worldwide are facing sticker shock this week as Microsoft quietly implemented significant price increases across its latest hardware lineup and select first-party titles. The standard Xbox Series X with 1 TB of storage now carries a suggested retail price of $599.99, up from $499.99. The digital-only Series X has jumped to $549.99, and the special Galaxy Black 2 TB edition now lists at $729.99, compared with its original $599.99 launch price. Meanwhile, the more affordable Xbox Series S saw its 512 GB model climb from $299.99 to $379.99. A newly introduced 1 TB version of the Series S is now priced at $429.99. European customers will pay €349.99 for the base Series S and €599.99 for the standard Series X, while in the United Kingdom, those figures are £299.99 and £499.99, respectively.

Microsoft has also raised prices on accessories. The basic wireless controller increased from $59.99 to $64.99 in the U.S., and the Xbox Wireless Headset now costs $119.99 in North America. Some specialized peripherals, such as the Adaptive Controller and Adaptive Joystick, remain at their previous prices, relieving gamers needing those devices. On the software side, specific first-party titles launching this holiday season will carry a $79.99 price tag instead of the usual $69.99. Digital buyers will continue to benefit from Xbox Play Anywhere, which allows a single purchase to cover both console and PC versions at no extra charge. Importantly, Xbox Game Pass subscription fees are unchanged for now, even though Microsoft tweaked console and subscription pricing as recently as mid-2024 and made a minor adjustment in June 2023. In a statement, Xbox leadership acknowledged that these changes will be tough on fans. Still, the leadership said rising development, manufacturing, logistics costs, and ongoing trade-policy uncertainties drove them.

Splitgate 2's next open beta will take place stating on May 22, with the developer, 1047 Games, announcing the free-to-play multiplayer shooter's new beta test in a new YouTube trailer. The open beta is free-to-play, just like the game will be when it launches, and it's seemingly open to all, as well. The Splitgte 2 open beta will be open to gamers on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games. Splitgate 2 is planned for a full release sometime in 2025, but an exact date has not yet been confirmed.

Like the first Splitgate game, Splitgate 2 will feature the same portals-based combat, fast-paced gunplay, and high vertical mobility. However, the developers have apparently been working on some new tricks for the latest installment in the series, with the open beta boasting over 25 weapons, more than 10 game modes, and "infinite" maps. It's not clear how the new map system will work, but it's likely that some sort of tile-based procedural generation will be used to spawn a new map each time a new match starts, which is similar to how games like Warframe keep things interesting in what would otherwise be a repetitive gameplay loop. The new open beta announcement teaser trailer also seems to suggest that players will be able to create and edit their own maps, likely for custom games.

2K Games just announced that Borderlands will launch almost two weeks earlier than expected, moving the release date from September 23 to September 12. Nothing else regarding the release seems to have changed, with even the launch trailer even remaining unchanged with the old September 23 release date still present. 2K Games and Gearbox haven't specified a reason for the release date switch-up, but it's currently theorized that the looter-shooter was moved to make space for the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI.

Rumors and leaks previously indicated that GTA VI would launch sometime around October or November 2025, and we previously reported that game developers were already nervous about launching games within at least two weeks of the launch of GTA VI. The concern was that GTA VI would overshadow any other games that released even remotely close to it. It seems as though even a genre giant like Borderlands 4 isn't immune to this effect. Currently, the only concrete information about the GTA VI launch date is a confirmation that it will launch in "Autumn 2025," and indications are that the PC version will only arrive in early 2026. Borderlands 4, on the other hand, will have a simultaneous multi-platform launch, coming to Steam, Epic Games, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 on day one—there has been talk of a Nintendo Switch 2 port, but that release date is thus far unknown. Along with the new launch date, 2K Games has also announced that it will host a Borderlands 4 gameplay showcase on April 30 at 14:00 PT (21:00 UTC).

Take a bow! The hand-crafted world of Once Upon a Puppet takes center stage today as the game officially launches on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam Deck. The Nintendo Switch version will be released early June 2025, giving players just a bit more time before the curtains rise on the portable stage. We will be updating you on the exact release date in the coming weeks.

Combining inventive thread-based mechanics, dual-character puzzles, and a rich, hand-animated world, the game offers a heartfelt and eerie journey through a forgotten puppet kingdom.

Bethesda Studios has confirmed that it will officially reveal its long-rumored remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in a live stream set for April 22. The event begins at 8:00 a.m. PT (11:00 a.m. ET, 4:00 p.m. BST) and will be available to watch on both YouTube and Twitch. The teaser image shows a close-up of a battle-worn eye alongside the Roman numeral IV, with the simple tagline "All will be revealed." Fans have already started marking their calendars in anticipation of what promises to be a significant announcement. This confirmation arrives after a plethora of leaks over the past week. Community members uncovered a hidden backend link to an official Oblivion remaster website, and images allegedly supplied by Virtuos Studio compared the original 2006 game to an impressive modernized version. And now these rumors are true, with Bethesda posting a teaser on X.

Bethesda has rebuilt Oblivion using Unreal Engine 5, bringing enhanced textures, fully redone lighting, and potentially new environmental effects. Rumors also suggest that the combat system may see updates inspired by Souls-style blocking, while stealth, archery, and stamina management could receive fresh tuning to meet today's standards. Speculation continues that Bethesda might "shadow drop" the remaster on the same day it is revealed, allowing players to purchase or download it immediately. Reports indicate the game will launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, mirroring the modern platforms of the original's 2006 debut on Xbox 360 and Windows, with a PlayStation 3 port arriving in 2007. There is no word yet on a Nintendo Switch 2 edition, but as an Xbox first-party title, the remaster will almost certainly be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, granting subscribers instant access.

Monster Energy Supercross 25 - The Official Video Game—available as Dirt Master Edition or and Special Edition—is out now in early access for Xbox Series X|S, and the Standard Edition will be available for everyone on April 10, 2025—on Steam, Epic Games Store, and PlayStation 5. I can't wait to see all of you take the route for the Supercross elite in this new and completely improved game. Today, I want to talk to you about one of the most ambitious and challenging aspects of the game, which made us sweat but filled us with pride once the results started to arrive: Neural AI.

We started using our Neural AI, A.N.N.A (Artificial Neural Network Agent), in our games starting from 2019, but research began before then. Neural AI is a specific kind of AI that can simulate realistic behavior. To do that, it must train and test the tracks to learn the best trajectories to become as fast as possible. Over the years in Milestone we have seen incredible results, with AI capable of controlling vehicles in a realistic manner. But up to this Supercross chapter, A.N.N.A. has only been on tarmac surfaces.
