Call of Duty is one of gaming’s biggest series. Xbox Game Pass is one of gaming’s biggest services. It only makes sense then that one of Xbox’s priorities–particularly after purchasing Call of Duty’s publisher, Activision–was ensuring the next title in the series is available on Game Pass.

Fortunately for Xbox and Call of Duty fans already subscribed to Game Pass, Microsoft recently confirmed that the next Call of Duty, Black Ops 6, will be included in the subscription service. Yet we can’t help but wonder if having Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Pass will actually move the needle for Microsoft. Sure, Call of Duty has a built in, loyal fanbase, but will fans who traditionally play on other consoles be motivated to enter the Microsoft ecosystem? Will those not wanting to shell…

The Borderlands movie is now available on 4K Blu-ray, and while the film itself is not the adaptation most fans were hoping for, the Claptrap steelbook case with the $35 Amazon-exclusive edition is pretty awesome. Walmart has its own exclusive steelbook, but this one depicts the main cast of the film–it’s not nearly as cool, but it is available for $5 less than Amazon’s steelbook at the moment.

Both exclusive editions come with 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital versions of the film. Alternatively, you can get a non-steelbook 4K Blu-ray edition for $30 at Amazon.

If you log in to Escape From Tarkov today, Sports betting site B Sports things may be a bit more hectic than usual. That’s because a major update for the game, patch 0.12.11, is releasing today.

After taking the grim death march that is season two of The Walking Dead to its moral nadir last time out with the option of gawking at every little detail of what a crowbar can do to a cranium, Telltale Games really goes all out with Amid the Ruins. This fourth and penultimate episode of the current season hit a sweet spot for me, sticking with the same doom-laden atmosphere but moving away from the pensive moments that made me feel somewhat like a spectator at times during its predecessors. Tighter plotting, constant zombie attacks, and the introduction of mysterious new human adversaries led to more action sequences and stark dialogue choices that put me right in the middle of this increasingly bleak apocalyptic world.

Glimmers of hope are as hard to find here as shafts of ligh…
