Microsoft recently announced the integration of its own artificial intelligence, named Copilot, with games like Minecraft. The company’s demo showcased the Xbox AI’s ability to guide the player towards the next goal, acting as a tutorial or guidance feature.
Many users expressed dissatisfaction with this new feature on X, arguing that games should not provide assistance during gameplay. Most users compared this to a Wiki, a resource for games where you can find answers when you become stuck.

Maybe its video games weren’t well received by critics and fans alike, which may make the current gaming market appear dull, but games like GTA 5 are still alive and well, and gamers across the world can’t get enough of them. Recently, the game reached another milestone, proving why it is stacked among the best-selling games of all time.
Its successor, GTA 6, is still under development and is said to be coming at some point next year. However, it may get delayed as players are said to come across the biggest map they’ve ever witnessed in a Grand Theft Auto game. That doesn’t go without saying, the game won’t be reaching anywhere near its predecessor’s record without breaking a sweat.

Upon its introduction in 2018, Xbox’s Game Pass subscription service revolutionized the games industry, offering players access to a vast, Netflix-esque library of games for a reasonable monthly fee. Several publishers, and even direct competitor Sony, aped the idea for their own platforms.
As consumer-friendly as it seems, though, the service’s initial meteoric rise has plateaued over the past few years, with it even missing out on its growth targets consecutively. Microsoft recently reaffirmed its commitment to the service, but confidence in its sustainability remains shaky.
Former Microsoft PR Head Is Skeptical Of Game Pass
The service badly hurts premium game sales, which has been demonstrated in recent years.
In a recent LinkedIn post, former Microsoft PR lead Brad Hilderbrand pointed to Game Pass’ slowing growth over the years, and questioned whether it can regain its original momentum without a major shakeup. He stated that the “biggest paradox...

Video games become more fun when an element of curiosity is added to them. Dark Souls does the same, as it is supposed to preserve the sense of mystery. Most of them are added as Easter eggs, but some are purely dedicated to the game those levels are in.
Before social forums and networks discussing video games existed, finding a hidden level kicked in differently. While it may appear like something players aren’t supposed to see, it is in fact there for them to see. While many of you know the games we are about to discuss, chances are you haven’t explored these areas in them yet.

Universal and Illumination’s smash The Super Mario Bros Movie finishes No. 1 to make it a wrap on Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament for 2023. While the industry is still coming out of Covid and the aftermath of the strikes, there’s no question about the major motion picture studios’ embrace of the theatrical downstream model; steamers such as Amazon and Apple realize the power of it too.
Last year’s wild ride saw the buckling of superhero movies, though Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse underscored fanboys’ hunger for something different in the genre. The year also showed that longtime box office emperor Disney can lose its clothes sometimes — in 2023 it was its overextension and hasty execution of IP Wish, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion and The Marvels. Barbie and Oppenheimer, meanwhile, showed that perhaps the biggest box office weekends are best programmed with two tentpoles in the heart of summer.

Minecraft is universally recognized, but its accessibility on the PS5 leaves much to be desired. Minecraft hit the ground running as an indie game developed by Markus Persson, a.k.a. Notch. Minecraft’s inception traces back to 2009 when Notch started its development and released an early version to the public later that year. The initial alpha version of Minecraft was made available to play for free, paving the way for its success through organic growth instead of relying on traditional advertising, especially in its early stages. The game raced forward as Notch kept tweaking and expanding it, consistently incorporating player feedback

Xbox may have been subject to a lot of ridicule this year due to their controversial shift in strategy by porting four former first-party games to competitors PlayStation and Nintendo, but there’s no doubt the Microsoft-owned brand is prospering regardless of the hate.
Microsoft’s FY24 Q3 (Jan-March) earnings call was held yesterday, and it revealed staggering numbers for their gaming division that prove they’re doing just fine, even without the unexpectedly successful PlayStation-owned Helldivers 2 earlier this year.
Microsoft Shareholders Must Be Happy With Gaming Division

Fortnite is undoubtedly one of the best battle royale games of recent times. Launched back in 2017, the popularity and hype of the game continue seven years later in 2024 as well, thanks to the developer’s efforts to keep the game updated and fresh.
The game has about six game modes, among which the battle royale mode is hands-down the most sought-after. One of the brilliant minds behind the mode was the director Donald Mustard. The mode involves 100 players skydiving onto an island and hunting for gear to defend themselves from fellow players. Players can either choose to fight alone or with up to four other players.

Mustard just last year stepped down from Epic Games. He later spilled the beans on his exit and the concept of Fortnite Battle Royale mode during an interview.

Someone has been working for several years to make Disneyland very accessible. It wasn’t the Walt Disney Company or Bob Iger. It was a small group of friends dedicated to replicating the park in the world of Minecraft!
With ticket prices soaring, sometimes you want to experience Walt’s magic without going broke. The virtual Disneyland delivers that special feeling; you don’t have to deal with the crowds!
We learned via BoingBoing that YouTuber Mouskegamer created the blocky replica of the Happiest Place on Earth. According to the walk-through’s description, the creator finalized the digital Disneyland in five years. This certainly looks, sounds, and feels like a labor of love:
“I’ll always cherish the time I had on the server and what it meant to so many people around the world. I’m unbelievably lucky to have created something I can say I’m this proud of.

Minecraft, one of the most popular games ever, has a relatively chill community, which is only natural considering the nature of the game—or so it was assumed, until a recent Reddit post came up, complaining about the tryhard nature of some players.
The post has also made some interesting points about ‘cheating’ in video games, and whether it really matters sometimes.

There are few creators, directors, or responsible executives of big gaming companies that can say that they won fans and players hearts; one of these personalities is Todd Howard. This man was behind several of the most successful games developed by Bethesda, like Skyrim, Fallout, and many more.
In an old interview, Howard talked about how to make games for everyone, including non-gamers. He talked about how difficult this is and how only a few titles have achieved this goal. He also mentioned another big IP that achieved this, aside from the latest, The Elder Scrolls.

In the past two decades, video games have drastically changed. With new generations of consoles, video games have improved a lot and have made a lot of money for the studios. When talking about the highest-selling video games in the last decade (2010-2020), one may assume that Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 took the crown, however, there is one game that put GTA 5 in the second position.
Minecraft is the highest-selling video game of all time
Mojang Studios’ 2011 sandbox game, Minecraft, is the highest-selling video game of all time with a whopping 300 million sales since its release. Thanks to a multi-platform release, Minecraft catered to all kinds of gamers, providing them with a fun co-op survival experience. Not even games like Tetris, Pubg, or Mario Kart could dethrone Minecraft. With 300 million copies sold, Minecraft is expected to hold this spot for a very long time as the game continues to sell copies.

Though it’s easy to get caught up in fruitless debates over genre classifications, genres are a fascinating part of any medium’s evolution.

Common Sense Networks is bringing additional safeguards to ad campaigns on platforms like Roblox and Fortnite. The firm known for evaluating media based on its suitability for children has teamed up with publisher Super League for a global partnership centered around kid-friendly branded content.
A press release describes the deal as “a new initiative that enables brands to connect with young audiences on a global scale in safe and suitable ways across major gaming and video platforms, including Roblox, Fortnite Creative, Minecraft, YouTube, TikTok, and beyond.” Those hubs are flourishing thanks to the game-creation capabilities they offer and the monetization opportunities they present.
