Yesterday we got the surprise announcement that Quantum Break, a highly anticipated Xbox One exclusive would actually also be launching on the PC at the same time in April. On top of that, those who pre-order the Xbox One version get the PC version as well, which is something we …

It seems everyone hates exclusivity, unless they're the ones to benefit from it. PC gamers like it when there aren't console ports of their games and it seems console gamers are just the same, as a number of Xbox One players have lashed out at Xbox head Phil Spencer after …

Back when Microsoft first launched the Xbox One, it also announced Quantum Break, a high-budget action game set to launch exclusively on the console. After some delays, the game is finally coming out on the 5th of April but Microsoft has also just made the surprise announcement that the game …

It looks like development on Gears of War 4 is going well as the game will now be releasing slightly earlier than expected. During a live stream this week, Microsoft revealed that the Xbox One exclusive would now be launching in ‘Fall 2016', rather than the holiday season. This means …

Rainbow Six: Siege is out and many people are actually quite impressed with it. However, the game does have its issues, mainly poor hit detection and networking errors. Fortunately, Ubisoft is working on these things and Patch 1.2 is set to hit this week. Matchmaking errors seem to be affecting …

Our first game delay of the year has arrived and unfortunately, it affects a game that shows a lot of promise- Scalebound, from Platinum Games. This title was announced back in 2013 and was due to come out later this year, unfortunately, the studio needs more time, so we won't …

Back in October, Microsoft finally released its Xbox One Elite controller with plenty of premium features and customization options. While some did doubt how popular a £120 controller could be, the gamepad soon sold out after launch and supplies have been fairly tight ever since. Now, Microsoft has warned that …

It doesn't seem that long ago that GAME, like a number of high-street gaming and technological chain stores, was bankrupt and needed to be saved by outside finances. Since then it's had some measure of recovery, but it's not doing amazing. Christmas sales have not been as strong as expected …

Microsoft has revealed that it won't lock outside developers from using its Azure Cloud technology, not even studios working on exclusive titles for competing platforms like the Wii U, PC or PlayStation 4.

Lionhead Studios and Microsoft have been teasing us with Fable Legends since 2013 and while it was initially due to launch this year, things have slipped a little bit. Fable Legends will be one of the first games to support cross-play between Xbox One and PC, though the title will …

Earlier this year, Microsoft gave Xbox One gamers a way to get their games on the PC, through in-home streaming. However, with the amount of focus being put in to PC gaming in the living room right now, it seemed to make more sense for Microsoft to implement PC to …

We are all primarily PC gamers here at KitGuru, but that doesn't mean we shy away from consoles. Today, we are taking a look at Seagate's new 2TB ‘Game Drive', made in partnership with Microsoft exclusively for the Xbox One and Xbox 360. While you can freely switch out the …

So far, most of the demos we have seen for the Hololens have been gaming oriented, with Minecraft being a pretty big focus at E3. This trend isn't changing any time soon as a new video posted online by Microsoft project manager, Varun Mani, shows off Halo 5 on the …

Back at E3, Microsoft announced the Xbox One Elite controller, which offered a ton of features, including additional buttons and the ability to remap the entire controller.

In December last year, a group of people launched a large-scale DDOS attack on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. Different people involved had different opinions on why the attack went ahead, but the disappointing fact is that both services were down over the holidays, preventing many from enjoying their …

Fallout 4 has been subjected to an insanely high level of hype over the course of this year. Right now, Bethesda's latest RPG has had one of the highest concurrent player counts on Steam since its launch too, so it's not too surprising to hear that over twelve million copies of …

AMD is putting a lot of its eggs in the virtual reality basket, with a big push lately for its LiquidVR platform, an announcement of partnerships with system makers for Oculus Ready PCs and that's perhaps because it knows something we don't: that the next-generation of games consoles will have a …

A new dashboard update is arriving this week for owners of the console, which will drop Kinect gestures entirely for interface navigation, Microsoft admitted that it decided to do this as usage was “very, very …

The new Xbox One dashboard is on the way and alongside that will be the addition of backwards compatibility, a long sought after feature for the console. Right now, Microsoft is working with publishers to get permission to make specific Xbox 360 games backwards compatible with the Xbox One and …

Back at E3, Microsoft announced its new Xbox Elite controller, a premium gamepad with modular components for customisability. However, those features come at a price, £120/$150- which sounds like an awful lot of money for a controller but that hasn't put people off one bit. Xbox's Major Nelson has revealed …

Sony has seen an unprecedented amount of PlayStation 4 sales since its launch at the end of 2013, the console had an extremely strong first year and things haven't slowed down at all. Now Sony has revealed that it has managed to sell ‘well over' 25 million PS4 units at …

One of the more requested features for the Xbox One, backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 games, is coming in just a couple of weeks' time. Announced during the launch event for Halo 5: Guardians last night, 360 support will come hand in hand with a number of other improvements to …

For a company that has looked to unite its Windows and Xbox platforms over the past year, Microsoft has been awfully slow at making it possible to use its Xbox One wireless controllers on PCs. Sure you could plug them in, but that seems to defeat most of the point …

We knew that the current generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft have been doing pretty well in terms of sales but it seems that things are going significantly better than even last generation. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 went on for eight and seven years respectively before being …

The Kinect has never been all that popular. The peripheral didn't perform all that well back when it first launched on the Xbox 360 and even now on the Xbox One, the Kinect can still be very hit and miss. Microsoft made the popular decision to unbundle the Kinect from …
