Maybe mobile isn't the best way to play Bethesda games on Xbox Game Pass

Bethesda games are made for PC and consoles, but streaming them to your Android device is fine, even though there are some caveats. Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda was a big deal for Xbox and PC gamers, but it's also important for those who play on mobile. With Xbox Game Pass (xCloud) for Android players can stream some their favorite games directly to their Android phone or a tablet. It opens up a new library of titles on mobile that you could argue should be listed among the best Android games . Not only that, but Microsoft has proven that it deeply cares about the past, present, and future of the games industry. Through efforts like backward compatibility you can still play games well over two decades old, and it's through Game Pass titles that titles like Doom II can live on to be streamed wherever you go. We decided to test out some of Bethesda's newest games to come to Xbox Game Pass for Android. While many of these titles aren't well-suited for a

MLB The Show 21 supports cross-play between PlayStation and Xbox

Never thought I'd see the day a game developed by Sony would come to Xbox. What you need to know MLB The Show 21 is set to release on April 20, 2021. For the first time in franchise history, the previously PlayStation exclusive is coming to Xbox consoles. It will feature cross-play support between PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. PlayStation's popular baseball series is going cross-platform, marking the first time MLB The Show will be available on Xbox consoles. The company announced that MLB The Show will be hitting PS5 , PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on April 20, 2021. This announcement was accompanied by the reveal of its cover athlete Fernando "El Nino" Tatis Jr. In addition to cross-play support, MLB The Show 21 will also feature cross-progression, allowing players to "earn and use content on whichever platform and generation you choose." This is a welcome move as more and more games support cross-pl

The KFConsole is real, and it boasts one big advantage over the PS5 and Xbox Series X

Approved by Colonel Sanders himself, the KFConsole is here – and it finally solves a problem that literally no one cared about until now: how to keep your chicken warm while gaming.   The KFConsole, created in partnership with PC hardware manufacturer Cooler Master, promises to shake up the console war like a bag full of 11 herbs and spices with its built-in chicken chamber – a world’s first. It means the days of stomaching lukewarm poultry or suffering through a slightly cold piece of thigh are thankfully over. And it’s about time.  The console was first teased back in June, and caused more commotion on social media than a fox entering a chicken coop. Demand, strangely, was high for a console from the long-running fast food chain, and well… here it is.  The KFConsole is designed to keep your freshly purchased food piping as you frag foes online, something which the PS5 and Xbox Series X simply can’t do (and we wouldn’t advise trying, either). The custom built cooling

Why this lifelong PlayStation fan got an Xbox Series X over the PS5

Microsoft's vision for gaming is hard to argue with. 2020 was...something. There weren't many bright spots this year, but throughout all the months cooped up at home, one thing I had to look forward to (along with tons of other people) was the release of the next generation of gaming consoles. All of my life, I've considered myself to be a pretty devoted PlayStation fan. I spent a lot of my childhood playing through countless titles on the PS2, was introduced to so many amazing franchises on the PS3, and was the proud owner of a PS4 and PS4 Pro during this most recent generation. I also had an Xbox 360 and Xbox One S as secondary consoles during those times, but they were never my go-to destinations for console gaming. Going into 2020, I was pretty confident that the PS5 would be my next primary console. I mean, why wouldn't it be? PlayStation has always been the platform I gravitate towards, so buying an Xbox Series X in place of it didn't seem to be a lik
