Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 If you thought the new year would bring you some good news when trying to buy an Xbox Series X, we have some bad news for you. It’s still incredibly hard trying to secure an Xbox Series X or a PS5, which will likely not change anytime soon. Speaking with the New York Times, Microsoft’s head of investor relations, Mike Spencer, revealed that the next-gen console supply will still be very limited at least through June. This news isn’t that surprising because Microsoft warned of an Xbox Series X shortage back in November, stating that we would continue to see shortages heading into “Microsoft’s Q3, calendar Q1,” claiming the company should have more consoles April through June. Spencer’s news means that customers should expect the grind to buy an...

Award-winning game studio MachineGames will be in charge of developing the forthcoming game. Bethesda announced by sharing a teaser trailer that shared some subtle hints without giving much away about the game’s story, ultimately revealing ...
Source: ED JONES / Getty Trying to buy an Xbox Series X or PS5 is proving to be more difficult than the hardest level in any video game you have ever played in your life. But there are some cheat codes out there that could help you land that elusive next-gen console. When retailers drop those links, you not only have to worry about beating actual people to a console but also the army of bots that are scooping them up at alarming rates. Retailers are trying their bests to accommodate gamers who want either a PS5 or Xbox Series X by using measures like CAPTCHA challenges or randomly dropping the purchase links to keep the scalpers and their bots guessing. Best Buy is also now emailing verification codes you need to input before purchasing either console to ensure the potential sale is not go...
Source: Microsoft / Sony Rejoice gamers, if you’re looking for a PS5 or Xbox Series X, Walmart just dropped the extra life you have been looking for to complete your mission. We already know for Black Friday week (yes, this is a thing) the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 All-Digital version, and Xbox Series S|X will be back in stock on or around Black Friday (Nov.27).

According to Walmart’s website, the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X will be available starting at 6 pm PST (9 pm EST) when these links go live. Unfortunately, Walmart revealing the time when its restock goes live, gives scalpers time to prime up their bots to get ready also.

Source: WB Games / NetherRealm Studios Now, this is how you pay homage to arguably one of the best films based on a video game. Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate brings the iconic fighting game to the world of next-generation gaming, and what better way to celebrate than with some new skins. These aren’t just ordinary skins either. These actually might be the best character skins the folks at NetherRealm Studios have ever dropped since Mortal Kombat 11 launched back in 2019. Today (Nov.24), WB Games and NetherRealm Studios announced a new skin pack that will see Lord Raiden, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage don their looks from the classic 1995 Mortal Kombat film. What makes this announcement even sweeter is the fact that the film’s main stars Christopher Lambert as (Protector of Earthrealm Raiden), ...
Source: Visual Concepts/ NBA 2K21 When NBA 2K21 on current-gen systems first arrived in September, it was basically received like the no.1 pick in the NBA draft that doesn’t quite live up to expectations. But it’s clear where the development team at Visual Concepts and 2K were putting all the focus… in the next-gen version of the number 1 basketball video game franchise. Please make no mistake, NBA 2K21 Next-Gen is not its predecessor, specifically when it comes to how it looks and plays on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. When Visual Concepts said they rebuilt the game from the ground up, they were not kidding. NBA 2K21 Next-Gen is a completely new experience in many aspects but does incorporate some of the features introduced in NBA 2K21, first released back in Septembe...
