Fallout: New Vegas News

Microsoft,Bethesda,Obsidian

I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.

Fallout is having a moment, thanks in part to an excellent new TV series on Amazon that some are calling the best live-action video game adaptation of all time. That has sparked a resurgence of interest in the last four games in the series, with Fallout 4, deeply discounted, rocketing up Steam’s most-played listslast night. A game that came out in 2015 and was doing 15% of that at best, before all this.

We’ve talked about the timeline before, but with 5+ years spent on Starfield and probably another 4-5 after that for Elder Scrolls VI to come out, even if Fallout 5 is reportedly Bethesda’s next game after that, we’re looking at 7-10 years, realistically, to have that in our hands.

Microsoft previews new Xbox Cloud Gaming interface with social features and UIMicrosoft is previewing a new Xbox Cloud Gaming interface today that includes the social features and UI you’d normally find in the Xbox dashboard. The new interface includes access to a web version of Xbox party chat, so you can use a browser to join a call with friends instead of the dedicated Xbox desktop and mobile apps. The updated web interface also includes the ability to find and manage Xbox friends, send messages, view user profiles and achievements, and even access notifications. Microsoft is testing this initially with Xbox Insiders before rolling this interface out to all Xbox Cloud Gaming users. As this new interface is part of Xbox Cloud Gaming, most of it will also be available on smart TVs and Meta’s Quest VR headsets, too. The Xbox party chat feature on the web isn’t currently available on smart TVs just yet, though. The Xbox Cloud Gaming interface had already been modeled on the Xbox console Home screen UI, so additional Guide features is a great improvement. Most of this functionality was only available once you launched an Xbox cloud game, so being able to start an Xbox party chat on the web and have it continue between game sessions will be very useful for Xbox Cloud Gaming players. As always, Microsoft is only previewing this new interface today, so it could be some months before all Xbox Cloud Gaming users will be able to get access to these new features
