10 months, 4 weeks - In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft may have accidentally leaked a mockup of how the Steam UI would look on Xbox. Via the Verge, the image was taken down soon after, but this adds more speculation to Microsoft's future Xbox plans and possible integration with Steam, Epic Games Store, and more. Xbox head Phil Spencer has already voiced support for letting gamers play their Steam library on Xbox consoles. In other news, Assassin's Creed Shadows is topping the charts after just one day since being released. According to Ubisoft, the game has seen 1 million players across all available platforms. Of course, sales data is not yet available, but the game is also riding high off strong critic and user reviews. And finally, co-op hit Split Fiction's success is catching the eye of Hollywood, and now a package is being put together to shop an adaptation to the big studios.

10 months, 4 weeks - With the recent release of the new co-op game Split Fiction, IGN decided revisit our Top 10 best co-op games.Just a heads up, we have a few caveats as we define what “co-op” means for this list. We wanted to focus on coop games that were truly built around that cooperative experience. This is a list of the top 10 cooperative games, not the 10 best games that happen to be playable cooperatively, which is why you’ll see a lot of games that can only be played with two players. Also, to keep this from stepping on the toes of other genres, we’re omitting MMOs, MOBAs, and any games that are solely focused around competitive cooperative play. We want to highlight the games that bring people together to work towards a common goal that’s not simply “beat the other team.”This is an update to our list from 2021. While games like Monster Hunter: World, Overcooked 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Rockband 4, It Takes Two, and Sea of Thieves (just to name a few) managed to keep a spot on the list, it’s has been updated to include others.If you’re looking for “best coop games pc”, “best couch coop games”, “best coop games ps5”, or any kind of co-op games list, this is the one for you.

10 months, 4 weeks - In today's Daily Fix:Assassin's Creed Shadows has had its share of controversy during development, and Ubisoft is issuing a Day 1 patch to address one of them. Amid a bunch of other smaller changes, the Day 1 patch also makes it so players can't destroy the environment inside temples. Some objects inside temples can still be destroyed, provided they are generic objects found elsewhere in the game, but certain tables and racks can't be destroyed. In other news, Xbox's Phil Spencer wants to adapt more Microsoft IP to movies or shows. The Halo series failed to connect with fans, but Xbox has had success with the Fallout show, which may provide the blueprint for other live-action adaptations. And finally, the hardest level in Split Fiction has been beaten, and the first pair to do it won a one-of-a-kind real-life prize from Hazelight Studios.

11 months - The crew is joined by Ash Parrish from The Verge to discuss the reports of Xbox handhelds (from OEMs) coming later this year and the prospect of a next-gen Xbox coming in 2027 (and how weird time works because it feels like the Series X|S came out just yesterday). But first, we revisit Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 demo for Miranda's final thoughts, and get Ash's insights on South of Midnight from her preview and interview with actor and developer Ahmed Best.

11 months - In today's Daily Fix:A minority shareholder in Ubisoft is planning a protest against the company, claiming it's "horribly mismanaged." The shareholder alleges that Ubisoft has not been transparent and is "hiding information," including partnerships with the Savvy Group, and holding talks with Microsoft, EA, and others regarding possibly selling Ubisoft IP (maybe that's the only way we'll get a new Splinter Cell). In other news, EA's skate. is in closed alpha testing, but that isn't stopping them from selling microtransactions. EA claims this is to test the store feature to make sure it all works at launch. Mmm hmm. Any purchases made during this testing period will basically be converted back into in-game currency at launch. And speaking of EA, in positive news, Hazelight Studios' co-op Split Fiction not only is getting rave reviews, but sales as well. The game has sold 1 million copies in just 48 hours.
