Another creature collection title that's far more than a simple Pokémon love letter."

Seeing Final Fantasy Resonance bring true turn-based combat back to the series hits hard as a longtime fan. It feels like the team finally remembered what made the classics so special and why so many players fell in love with the franchise in the first place.
Resonance looks like a real return to form. 🔗windowscentral.com/gaming/se…

Matthew Ball's comments on the role of ads on Xbox have generated a ton of discussion, but why is this even being considered right now? Is it just GREED?

With consumer confidence at its lowest level since the pandemic, even active users are increasingly becoming *unmonetizable* as free-to-play games become more affordable alternatives to premium offerings.
When you're selling your hardware at a loss ... that's potentially unsustainable.

Flight Simulator fans, particularly those on Xbox, will want to see this.
PowerA and Meridian GMT have come together with Project X-Ray, a wild idea to cram all the essential flight controls into the form factor of a regular Xbox controller. And it looks *insane* ✈️

As the massive Palworld 1.0 launch looms on July 10, Nintendo’s patent lawsuit has taken on much lower stakes, with damages capped at a measly $30k
Did Pocketpair successfully outmaneuver the giant by changing up their game mechanics, or did Nintendo already get exactly what they wanted by forcing those changes? 🤔

Xbox is facing a margin crisis.
windowscentral.com/gaming/xb… 📰
How did we get here? A string of misses, a massive memory drought, and a circle of incongruous subsidies have made Xbox's business model buckle under its own weight.
Here's what I've learned over the past couple of days.

UPDATE: Matthew Ball has clarified that the ads referred to would not be in-game, and that they would be included in less expensive ad-supported tiers of services to offer players more affordable options.
Xbox CSO Matthew Ball is floating the idea of in-game ads, noting they may have potential to help "keep our products affordable." 💸🤔
"How do we make sure that we can continue to fund outstanding work from our development teams? That’s the goal."

I tried jumping into @MSFSofficial with a standard controller and immediately realized why people buy dedicated flight controls. ✈️
If you’re a beginner struggling with throttle and rudder finesse, this budget HOTAS setup is the logical next step. It's what I'm getting.
