It’s been almost five years since one of the biggest film franchises in modern history graced the big screen—but it’s back, and this time it’s a beast. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is coming on June 9, 2023, and Paramount just released the first teaser trailer.
It’s day 16 of the 25.5-day Artemis 1 mission, which means it’s time for the Orion spacecraft to begin its journey back home. The uncrewed capsule will attempt to depart distant retrograde orbit on Thursday afternoon, and you can follow the action live right here.
The launch of a Falcon 9 rocket has been delayed for the second time due to an unspecified issue, postponing a private Japanese mission that is poised to make history should it safely reach the Moon’s surface.
Microsoft has revealed its first wave of Game Pass additions for December and the headliner is a major game that debuted earlier this year — Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. You’ll be able to play through all nine core films in the Star Wars franchise and you can choose which trilogy to begin with. It’s maybe the best Star Wars game I’ve played. It’s gorgeous, the gameplay is a blast and it’s very funny, with clever twists on many of the series’ most memorable moments. It’s coming to Game Pass on December 6th and you can play it on Xbox, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
A few games have joined Game Pass today, including Eastward, a charming indie RPG that debuted last year. It has a lovely art style that takes inspiration from Earthbound. Both that and The Walking Dead: The Final Season are now available on Game Pass via console, PC and the cloud. Also hitting PC Game Pass today is Totally Reliable Delivery Service, a ragdoll physics game about terrible package couriers.

Looking further ahead, Hello Neighbor 2 (console, PC and cloud) will hit Game Pass on December 6th, followed by Chained Echoes (all three platforms) two days later. An Xbox One version of Metal: Hellsinger will be available on Game Pass on December 8th too — subscribers can already access it on Series X/S, PC and the cloud.
One of the last big Xbox exclusives of the year, High On Life, will arrive on Game Pass on December 13th. The sci-fi first-person shooter from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland is coming to console, PC and cloud gaming. “Alchemist simulator” Potion Craft will be available on console and PC via Game Pass on the same day. On December 15th, subscribers can check out Hot Wheels Unleashed – Game of the Year Edition (which I’ve heard great things about) and puzzle-platformer Rainbow Billy: The Curse of the Leviathan on console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming at no extra cost.
On the other side of the coin, several games are leaving Game Pass on December 15th, so you have a couple more weeks to check them out before you’d need to buy them (though you’ll get a 20 percent discount if you’re a Game Pass subscriber). The titles that will soon depart the library are:
Aliens: Fireteam Elite (cloud, console and PC)
Breathedge (cloud, console and PC)
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (cloud, console and PC)
Firewatch (cloud, console and PC)
Lake (cloud, console and PC)
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 (cloud, console and PC)
Neoverse (cloud and console)
Race with Ryan (cloud, console and PC)
Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth (cloud, console and PC)
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour (console)
Transformers: Battlegrounds (cloud, console and PC)
The “Superbad” and “Wolf of Wall Street” star has a hearing in January to decide the matter.
Those looking for a top-notch audio experience, whether that’s with a premium headset or surround sound audio, the setup process on Xbox Series X is easy.
Support pages for Samsung’s Galaxy Book 2 Go are live, hinting at a just-around-the-corner release of the new laptops. Here’s what we know about them so far.
As significant losses in value shock the crypto market, and companies like FTX are rendered bankrupt, Kraken crypto exchange has also announced layoffs.
The relative simplicity of the Game Boy consoles (at least compared to modern portables) means they’re now infinitely hackable and customizable, but one modder has come up with a Game Boy Color upgrade for gamers tired of constantly swapping cartridges. It’s both brilliant and ridiculous.
The world of Middle-earth will no doubt expand in the second season The Rings of Power, so it’s not surprising that Amazon is touting a host of new faces coming to the cast for round two of its Lord of the Rings prequel. Also unsurprising? The fact that just who they’re playing is also mostly being kept secret.
