There’s some news that Nintendo might tell us about a new Donkey Kong game in September 2023. People thought there might not be a Nintendo event in September because they had one about Super Mario Bros. in August. But some trustworthy sources still say there could be a Nintendo event in September.
Some people are saying that there might be a new Nintendo Direct event next week. Because of this, there are lots of rumors and secrets going around the internet about what might be in the event.
But, it’s important for Nintendo fans to be cautious and not get too excited about these rumors. Nintendo hasn’t even said for sure that there will be a Direct in September 2023, and they haven’t told us what games they’ll show if it happens. So, it’s best to wait for Nintendo to give us the real information.
A person known for sharing secret Nintendo information, Leaker Pyoro, is dropping hints about what could be shown at the September 2023 Nintendo event. They posted a short animated picture of Donkey Kong from The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
A popular Twitter Fortnite leaker named Shiina commented, “LETS GOOOOO.” Another person replied, “Donkey kong in fortnite? Some kind of roll being added? New skin?”
This suggests that there might be news about a Donkey Kong game in the event. People have been talking about a new Donkey Kong game for a while, so it’s not crazy to think that it might be announced at the event, especially if it’s meant for the Nintendo Switch and not their new console.
Before, some people who shared secret information said that Nintendo was working on two new games: one about Donkey Kong and another one in 2D with Mario. They also said that Nintendo wanted to make Donkey Kong more popular and even built a Donkey Kong area in Super Nintendo World.
Now, Nintendo has officially told us about the 2D Mario game and the Donkey Kong area at Super Nintendo World. So, it seems likely that they will soon announce a new Donkey Kong game too.
Sure, it’s possible that what they reveal about Donkey Kong at the September 2023 Nintendo Direct might not be what we expect. There are still some Donkey Kong games that aren’t available on Nintendo Switch Online, so maybe they’ll add those.
But they might also surprise us with both old and new Donkey Kong games because there have been rumors that Nintendo wants to make Donkey Kong more popular again. Meanwhile, Pyoro has hinted that something new might be revealed in the next Nintendo Direct.
Some people believe it could be a new Donkey Kong game, while others think it might be F-Zero or even Metroid Prime 4. We won’t know for sure until the next Nintendo Direct happens, so fans will have to be patient and see what actually gets announced.
The Teal Mask, a big addition to the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet games, is about to be released soon. It comes with a new story in a different place than the main game, and it introduces new Pokémon while bringing back some old favourites.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask Preload
Right now, there’s no news about being able to preload the DLC for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet in advance. Even though you can do this for the main game on the Nintendo eShop before it’s released, it’s not something that usually happens for extra content. There were a few times when they did allow pre-loading for DLC as they did with Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Pearl Abyss’ game called Crimson Desert is going to be a really big and exciting open-world adventure. The world of video games loves RPG games a lot because they’re really popular. There’s a new game called Crimson Desert being made by the same people who made the game Black Desert.
Crimson Desert is going to be even better and more exciting, with lots of stuff to do. If you’re curious about this new RPG game, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about Crimson Desert.
Crimson Desert Release Date
We don’t know when Crimson Desert will come out, and the game developers haven’t given us any hints about when it might be. However, based on some guesses and what we saw at Gamescom in August 2023, it seems like the game might come out in 2024.

Crimson Desert Platforms
Crimson Desert will be on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Pearl Abyss wants to put it on all these systems, but if something changes, we’ll let you know. They’re trying to do something big with this game, which is a pretty big challenge.
Crimson Desert Trailers
On November 14, 2019, a company called Pearl Abyss from South Korea showed an official reveal trailer to fans. This video was like a sneak peek of a new game they’re making called Crimson Desert. In the video, they showed us what the game world looks like and how the characters in the game talk and do things.
At Gamescom 2023, gamers got to see an official gameplay trailer for Crimson Desert. This video showed a lot of new content about how the game will be played. It showed how the fighting works, how you can explore the game world and other cool things.
Crimson Desert Gameplay
In this game, you can fight up close or from a distance, and you can do some cool magic stuff too. It’s set in a medieval fantasy world, so you’ll have swords, bows, and horses to use. You’ll battle different kinds of enemies like people from other groups and make-believe creatures.
You can also do things like catching fish, finding treasures, making stuff, and making friends with animals. And you can get around in different ways like riding a horse, taking a carriage, or flying in a hot air balloon. You can look at our guide about the system requirements for Crimson Desert to see if your PC can run the game smoothly.
Crimson Desert Story
On the Crimson Desert website, they say, “Enter a war-torn realm of medieval fantasy, where allegiances are tested and heroes are made.”
You’ll be Macduff, the leader of a group of fighters, and you want to become the ruler of Pywel. Pywel is in chaos because the King of Demeniss is in a deep sleep, so you see a chance to gather other fighters and become the new king.
As Macduff, you’ll travel through Pywel, meeting other fighters and convincing them to join your team. But be careful because there are other groups who want power too, and you might encounter scary creatures like Dragons as you explore different parts of Pywel.
Can You Pet the Dog in Crimson Desert?
You can hug dogs and cuddle with cats in the Crimson Desert. In the Gamescom video, the main character pets a dog while a donkey watches. They also pick up a cat and wear a wolf fur coat. Pearl Abyss wants to make sure players can show love to animals, and they might have more cool animal stuff in the game.
There’s some exciting news about Genshin Impact! In the next big update, version 4.2, a powerful boss called Childe’s Whale will be added. This boss will be available to fight every week.
In the past few weeks, people have been sharing lots of news about new bad guys in the game. One of them is called “Local Legends,” and they’ll appear in version 4.1.
Some people who share these secrets also said that in version 4.1, when you go to a challenging place called the Spiral Abyss, you’ll meet new enemies like the Mirror Maidens and the Seneschal of Wind.
In the game Genshin Impact, there are tough enemies you can fight every week. If you beat them, you get cool stuff like special artifacts and ascension materials. These enemies are really strong and have their own unique abilities and personalities.
Screenshot By GameEmpress
They belong to different places in the game world, and they’re important to the story. Besides a place called the Spiral Abyss, you can fight these bosses to see how strong your character is. Now, a new region called Fontaine is in the game, and they might add more weekly bosses from there later on.
According to some information leaked by Uncle Regret, there’s a big boss called Childe’s Whale coming to the game Genshin Impact later this year. It’s said that this boss is the same one Childe saw when he was in a place called the Abyss.
This leak might be true because in a trailer for the game’s Fontaine region, a shadow of the whale was seen. When it comes out in version 4.2, players will probably have to dive underwater and fight this boss every week.
Lots of Genshin Impact players on Reddit think there might be an underwater boss fight. Some even guess that a whale is causing trouble with the primordial water and that’s why Childe got in trouble. But remember, we can’t be sure about this information until the game makers confirm it.
Genshin Impact’s character Childe, also known as Tartaglia, is really good at dealing damage with a bow that uses water power. Even though he doesn’t hit as hard as some other top characters, he can be useful in any team because he can switch between fighting up close and shooting from far away.
When he fights, he can do a bunch of attacks in a row, hurt enemies with water power, and switch to fighting up close whenever he wants. You can play as him in the game, and you can also find him as a tough boss to battle in Liyue Harbor every week.
A trusted source who often shares secret information says that in September 2023, there will be a special Nintendo event. At this event, they will show new and improved versions of two older games: one from the Nintendo DS and one from the Wii.
Nintendo hasn’t told us about this event officially, but that doesn’t stop fans from guessing what might happen. Some people who know the secrets are already telling us what we can look forward to at this Nintendo event.
People who share secret information have said that in September 2023, there will be a Nintendo event happening next week. They’ve hinted that this event will have some news about Donkey Kong and maybe even a new F-Zero game.
Secret information about the Nintendo event keeps coming out, and the newest one says that people who like the DS and Wii games should definitely watch it when it happens.
A leaker named Pyoro has given a hint about the Nintendo Direct event happening in September 2023. They said that during the event, Nintendo might announce remakes of two old games, one from the DS and one from the Wii. Pyoro mentioned that these two games are somehow connected, but didn’t explain how.
But remember, this is just a hint from someone, and we can’t be sure if it’s true. Sometimes, these kinds of hints can be wrong or made up. So, it’s better to not get too excited and wait for the actual Nintendo Direct event to find out if these remakes are real or not.
Pyoro gave us a little hint that we might hear some news about the Princess Peach game soon. They announced the game earlier this summer, but they didn’t tell us much about it back then. Now, it looks like they might tell us the game’s official title in the upcoming Nintendo Direct if the leaked information is true.
Pyoro commented, “Whoever says no name reveal for that game should delete their account before getting banned from fami next week.”
Fans, don’t get too excited, but it’s highly likely that Nintendo will have a special event in September called Nintendo Direct. People have been talking about it, and Nintendo usually does these events in September.
However, don’t expect them to show the new Nintendo game system that comes after the Switch. Nintendo has already said they won’t reveal it this year, so we’ll probably have to wait until 2024 to see it unless they change their minds.
The Lovecraft-inspired game called ‘The Last Case of Benedict Fox,’ which is like a mix of Metroid and Castlevania games, got a big update. The developer Plot Twist and the publisher Rogue Games did this update.
Even though this update doesn’t give Xbox Game Pass players new content to play with in the game, it changes a lot of things to make the game more interesting.
The Last Case of Benedict Fox first showed up at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase in June last year. Later, they showed a video that gave us a little look at the game.
It showed things like the game’s map, how you can make your character better, the exciting action parts, and some of the story. In this game, you get to be a detective named Benedict Fox, and you have to deal with scary stuff from space and solve mysteries in a spooky house.
The Last Case of Benedict Fox Xbox Game Pass Update
Earlier this year, fans got really excited when they found out when the new game called “The Last Case of Benedict Fox” was coming out. They even got to see a long, 16-minute trailer about it.
The game was released on April 27, 2023, and most people liked it, but some had complaints about how slow the controls were. Now, the game has been updated to fix those problems.
Players can do things like change the buttons on their controllers and set up the controls the way they like. The camera in the game is easier to use, and the controls respond better.
They also made the fighting and animation in the game better, and it’s easier to hit and aim at things. This makes the game more fun to play because everything happens faster.
They made the enemies in the game match how fast the player can move now. If you want the game to be easier, there’s a mode where they put markers on your map to help you. They also made the menu and map in the game better, so you can keep track of your progress more easily.
They replaced a puzzle in the game with a piano to make it easier to see and use. And they fixed a bunch of problems in the game, like making sure it doesn’t crash and making the sounds better. All of these changes might make this game one of the best indie games you can play on Xbox Game Pass.
The developers who made “The Last Case of Benedict Fox” have worked really hard to make it better. They got ideas from the stories of H.P. Lovecraft to make the game more interesting. They want to make sure the game is very good and feels real when you play it.
They have been listening to what players say about the game and fixing any problems quickly. This shows that they really care about making sure players can have a great time in the spooky world of the game, with all its scary things from space. They want to make the game even more fun and exciting to play.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox’s Official Twitter account said, “Hello detectives, you’ve been patiently waiting while we tackle all the monsters in limbo. We are pleased to announce that the patch for Xbox is now live!”

Here’s how you can try out Payday 3 early on Xbox and PC, and I’ll tell you when it begins and ends. Even though Payday 3 will be available on PlayStation 5 later, right now, you can only test it on Xbox and PC.

Here’s how you can do it:
If you’re using a PC, go to the Payday 3 page on Steam and click ‘Request Access.’ The game will show up in your library soon.
If you’re playing on Xbox, first, get the Xbox Insider app. Then, go to the previews section and choose Payday 3.

What’s Included in the Payday 3 Open Beta?
The Payday 3 open beta has:
One heist
Four heisters
“Most, but not all, weaponry and cosmetics”
Infamy level cap of 22
Some important things to know about the beta test are:
The version of the game in the beta is the same as the one from April, but the full game has gotten better with performance, gameplay, balance, design, and quality improvements since then. So, when the game releases on September 21, you can expect it to be different from the beta.
There’s no tutorial available in this beta, but there will be one in the full game to help you learn how to play.
Your progress in the beta won’t carry over to the full game, and there are no rewards for participating in the beta.
There are a few known problems in the beta, like friends not always showing up on your friends list, weapon prices sometimes taking the wrong amount from your in-game inventory, and some lighting issues on Xbox.
You’re allowed to record and share your gameplay from the open beta.
Diablo 3 is a popular video game, have shared their ideas for Season 29. They’re planning to add a new way to play where you can only use items you find by yourself.
Even though Diablo 3 is old, the company that makes it, Activision Blizzard, is still working on it. They fix problems and add new stuff to make old players want to play again.
Even though a new game called Diablo 4 came out earlier this year, the older game, Diablo 3, still gets updates for its special seasons. Diablo 3 had some issues when it first came out, but now it’s become a really cool action role-playing game.
Diablo 3 Season 29
The last season, Season 28, had a theme about a place called the Sanctuary. In the season before that, there were special places where you could make your powerful items even stronger.
Season 28 will end on September 10, and players are curious about what’s coming next. Just a few days before the new season starts, the company that makes the game, Activision Blizzard, has shared details about Season 29.
Diablo 3 Season 29, called “Visions of Enmity,” is coming out on September 15 at 5:00 P.M. Pacific time. In this season, there are special places called pocket dimensions that will appear in Diabolical Fissures. You can explore them even if your character is at level one.
#DiabloIII Season 29, Visions of Enmity begins September 15 at 5 p.m. PT
A fan named Ethem Güner commented, “I bored of D4, is it worth to play D3 guys? I’m not playing it for about 2 years.”
Now, you can choose any character class and play by yourself in Solo Self Found mode. This makes the game harder because you can’t trade items with others, and it increases the chance of your character dying.
With Solo Self Found mode, the way you earn Paragon Points has also changed. You can earn a total of 800 points for characters you make in this new mode.
In Season 29, there are new rewards you can get, like the Mad King’s Favor portrait and the Quoth pet. These rewards will be available when the season starts.
In Diablo 3 Season 29, when players finish certain tasks, they get special rewards called Haedrig’s Gifts. These gifts give them powerful armor sets. Each class gets a different set. For example, Barbarians get the “Might of the Earth” set, Crusaders get the “Thorns of the Invoker” set, and so on.
The creators of Diablo 3, Activision Blizzard, have listened to what players have said and made some changes to the game. They are replacing some enemies with new ones, like Hellions, Vile Swarms, and Savage Beasts instead of Dark Berserkers and Toxic Lurkers.
They are also making adjustments to how some classes work based on feedback from the players. The Monk and Necromancer classes are getting more changes because players have had a lot to say about them.
Even though Diablo 3 Season 28 will finish on September 10, there’s a short wait before the next major update. They tested some parts of the update in the Diablo 3 PTR, so Season 29 might have fewer issues compared to previous seasons.
The new Hollow Knight game, called Hollow Knight: Silksong, is getting really popular on Steam. It’s becoming the most wished-for game, and it might even be the number one most wished-for game this month.
Right now, Party Animals is the most popular multiplayer game. But on September 20, a new game is coming out, and when it does, Party Animals won’t be at the top anymore. The game that’s currently in second place will become the new top game, and you can probably guess which game that is.
Screenshot By GameEmpress
Silksong is the sequel to a really awesome game, and many people want to play it. In the past two years, we’ve heard some exciting news about it. At an Xbox event last year, Xbox creator head Sarah Bond said that everything they showed that day would be ready to play in the next 12 months, including Silksong.
But just because you can play it doesn’t mean it’s ready to buy. The people making Silksong, Team Cherry, actually decided to delay the game in May. They said it would come out in the first half of 2023, but they wanted to make it even better, so they needed more time.
Team Cherry’s marketing and publishing manager, Matthew Griffin, said “Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong. We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.”

Okami Games commented, ‘Thanks for the update. Take whatever time you need. Also make sure you guys are taking care of yourselves.”
Creator of Orogeddon, EliteCraft, Permadeath also commented, “Keep going! Keep pushing! No rush at all, take your time and deliver a polished game.”
Hollow Knight: Silksong is developed by Team Cherry, an indie studio based in Adelaide, Australia. The game was originally announced in February 2019 as a DLC for Hollow Knight but later expanded into a full-fledged sequel due to the scope and scale of the project.
The game has been delayed several times since then, but Team Cherry has assured fans that they are working hard to deliver the best possible experience.
A sneak peek of the next Genshin Impact update reveals what the fancy character Neuvillette looks like when he uses different Gliders. He’s a special five-star character, and there are two new characters coming in the next version 4.1. The other one is called Wriothesley, and they’re the first character to use Cryo powers with a special item called a catalyst.
Gliding is a cool ability that lets Travelers fly in the air. To use it, just press the jump button while high up in the sky. In Genshin Impact, they’ve made various gliders, but these gliders don’t make your character stronger; they just make them look different.
A Twitter user named Teyvattabloid2 shared a picture that shows how a character called Neuvillette looks with different Gliders.

— Teyvat Tabloid ⚡ INFO & UPDATES ⚡ (@Teyvattabloid2) September 7, 2023
Fans say that one Glider called Wings of Merciful matches Neuvillette’s style the best. This Glider was added in Genshin Impact version 4.0, and you can get it by reaching Reputation Level 10 in the new Fontaine region.
You can earn Reputation XP by doing tasks, and missions, and exploring the game world. Besides Gliders, Reputation rewards also include Food Recipes, Namecards, Forging Blueprints, and other helpful content.
Neuvillette is a really strong character in the Fontaine area. There’s a scene where he beats Childe, who’s a big deal in the Fatui group. Some people even say he might be stronger than the Fontaine leader, which is weird because usually, leaders are the strongest in their places.
Genshin Impact Leak Neuvillette Different Gliders
Neuvillette has a strong move in the game. He can use a special attack called a Charged Attack if you hold the button longer. This attack shoots a big water beam that hurts many enemies at once.
But, when he does this attack, he also loses some of his own health. Thankfully, he can only lose up to half of his health, and most Hydro characters have lots of health, so it’s not usually a big problem.
HoYoverse hasn’t officially said what job he’ll have in his party, but players believe he’ll likely be the strongest damage-dealing character in Genshin Impact teams. To learn more about him, players will need to wait a week or two for HoYoverse to do a live stream event for Genshin Impact version 4.1.
It’s been more than ten years since the last Stalker game came out. People are really excited about the new one, called Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. They’re also showing a lot of support for the Ukrainian game company GSC Game World.
Even though the game has been delayed, people are still curious about what the company has shown so far and what’s the latest news about the game before it’s released.
When they first showed it at the Xbox Series X|S game event, Stalker 2 got people really excited. It’s a shooting game that lots of people are looking forward to, especially because it’s a big game for Xbox.
They’re planning to release it on Xbox Game Pass too. It’s been delayed a bit, but we’re hoping it’ll come out soon and be one of the best survival games on Xbox. If you’re wondering when it’ll come out, here’s what we know.
Stalker 2 Release Date
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is going to come out sometime between January and March 2024 on PC and Xbox Series X|S. It was supposed to be out in 2022, but because the people making the game are from Ukraine, and there’s a war happening there, they had to wait longer to finish it.
The game studio is still making the game and plans to release it in 2024. They’re also busy protecting their country. The game will only work on the latest game consoles, not the older ones like Xbox One. But they’re trying to make it available on xCloud for people with the older consoles.

Stalker 2 Gameplay
Stalker 2 is a video game where you can explore a big, open world. It has a story that can go in different directions based on your choices. The game is set in a place called the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, which is a spooky area filled with strange creatures and groups of people fighting each other.
In the game, you will have to deal with these scary mutants, and it will feel like a mix of a horror movie and a first-person shooter game. You’ll need to be on your toes because it can get really intense.
Plus, you’ll have to take care of things like eating, sleeping, stopping bleeding, and avoiding radiation, which adds another layer of challenge to the game. We’ve watched a lot of the game in action for Stalker 2. The first time we saw it being played was at E3 2021, and it looked really amazing with its awesome graphics and quality.
Since then, we’ve seen more of the important things that help characters survive, like talking to each other, facing challenges, managing their stuff, fighting, and more in a video trailer from December 2022.
The really cool part is that at the Xbox Gamescom 2023 event, GSC Game World revealed a bunch of information about Stalker 2, along with other games. We got to see some of the shooting and strange things you’ll find in the game.
A lot of people really liked the first game, and they’ve been waiting for a long time for the new one. They hope the new game will be one of the best games ever. It seems like the new game, Stalker 2 Heart of Chornobyl, is much better than the first one.
Stalker 2 Trailer
On 24 July 2020, Microsoft gave a sneak peek of Stalker 2 in a video during an event for Xbox Series X games. The video used the game’s engine to show a dark and lonely place with some powerful pictures, giving us a sense of how the game will feel. You can see the first video trailer here.
Stalker 2 Story
Imagine you’re in a place called the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, where there was a big explosion in 2006. In this place, there are strange creatures dangerous things, and different groups of people who are fighting to stay alive.
You go into this place hoping to find valuable things and become rich. As you explore, you’ll make choices that shape your own unique story. The story of Stalker 2 Heart of Chornobyl is not told in a straight line.
Instead, you’ll meet different people, have problems with them, and face your own issues while trying to stay alive. You’ll also uncover hidden secrets in Chornobyl. In 2022, we got a sneak peek at the beginning of the game, and it’s really dark and gloomy, just like you’d expect.
Stalker 2 Preorders Details
Preorders for Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl are available again on the official store page, after a brief pause. No matter which version you choose, if you preorder, you get a special bonus pack. This pack has extra stuff for your in-game campfire, cool weapon and armour designs, and a badge for early access to multiplayer.

Hey, GTA 6 lovers! There’s a new rumor online that says Grand Theft Auto 6 might cost $150, which is a lot more than most games these days. People have been waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6 for a really long time, and when it comes out, it’s going to be a really big deal. The last Grand Theft Auto game, GTA 5 was super popular, so there’s a good chance that GTA 6 will be just as, if not even more, successful.
Fans of Grand Theft Auto have been waiting a really long time for the next game, Grand Theft Auto 6. In the past, new GTA games came out more often, but it’s been over 10 years since the last one, Grand Theft Auto 5, came out.
To keep fans happy while they wait, the game company Rockstar has released Grand Theft Auto 5 again on newer game systems with extra stuff, and they also released the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy, which wasn’t received well by fans. But even with all that, a lot of people are still really eager to play GTA 6.
We don’t know when Grand Theft Auto 6 will come out yet, but there’s a rumor that it might cost about $150. This rumor comes from a report by Niche Gamer, which also says that making the game might cost between $1 to $2 billion.
A fan named Sloppy said, “and millions upon millions of millions and millions of millions of people would still buy it.”
Another commented, “if they do god every Company gonna up their prices on their garbage unfinished games.”
But, neither Take-Two nor Rockstar Games have confirmed this information, so fans should be cautious and not take this rumor too seriously. It’s unlikely that the game will be so expensive, but there might be special versions of GTA 6 that cost $150 or more.
Fans shouldn’t get too worried or excited about this rumor or how much Grand Theft Auto 6 might cost until they hear the real facts from Rockstar Games. Some people are also saying that we might hear more about Grand Theft Auto 6 soon, and if that’s true, we might get some clear information about this.
But just like with this price rumor, fans should be cautious about believing other stories about the game they’ve been looking forward to.
Some people are talking about GTA 6 having Joe Rogan in it and coming out next October. But there’s no proof from the people who make the game. We hope they tell us real information about GTA 6 soon to clear up these rumors.
Xbox Game Pass members can play Madden NFL 24 and two other games for free during the second weekend in September 2023. This is a special offer from Microsoft’s subscription service, and it’s called Free Play Days.
It’s available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members and, for the last time this week, to Xbox Live Gold members. Free Play Days usually begin on a Thursday and last for four days. Last week, you could play Dead by Daylight, LEGO 2K Drive, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege for free.
Microsoft is giving away three games for free to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold members. You can play these games for free from today until September 10th, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
But here’s the important part: This is the last time Xbox Live Gold subscribers can get these free games because Xbox Live Gold is going away. It will be replaced by Xbox Game Pass Core next Thursday, just in time for the next Free Play Days event.
Instead of getting a monthly selection of free games, Xbox Game Pass Core will give you access to a smaller number of Game Pass games. However, you’ll still be able to play games online and enjoy Free Play Days like before.
Free Xbox Games This Weekend: What You Can Play
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Free Games September
Madden NFL 24
Control
Crime Boss: Rockay City
This week, there are three games you can play for free. The main one is called Control, and it’s a really popular game from 2019. People loved it a lot.
The other two games are new ones from 2023. One is Madden NFL 24, which came out just three weeks ago. The other is Crime Boss: Rockay City, which first came out on computers in March and then on game consoles three months later.
Even though Crime Boss: Rockay City is not as famous as the other two, it has lots of famous actors and celebrities in it. The company that made the game spent a lot of money to get famous people to be in it.
Free Play Days are like a special time for Microsoft’s subscribers. They can play some cool games, both old and new, for free. But this time, not many people might be interested.
That’s because Xbox Game Pass just got one of the biggest games of the year, Starfield. So, most members will probably be busy playing that game instead.
Just like always, the latest Free Play Days games are on sale for a limited time. You can get Control for only $7.49 and Crime Boss: Rockay City for $27.99. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold, you can also buy the cross-gen NFL+ Edition of Madden NFL 24 for $89.99, which is 20% off its usual price right now.
The next Mortal Kombat game is coming soon. It’s a big deal because the series did really well on the Xbox 360 and PS3. But now, they’re starting the story over. NetherRealm is going to tell a new story with lots of fighting, blood, and crazy finishing moves.
They’re also changing how the game works a bit, making the characters more interesting, and making the graphics look super realistic. Here’s what we know about Mortal Kombat 1 so far.
Mortal Kombat 1 Release Date and Platforms
Mortal Kombat 1 is coming out on September 19, 2023. If you order the special editions of the game early, you can start playing on September 14. You can play Mortal Kombat 1 on your PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X|S. But, if you have a PS4 or Xbox One, you won’t be able to play it.
Interestingly, Mortal Kombat 1 will also be available on Nintendo Switch as a full game. It’s being made by Shiver Entertainment and Saber Interactive, with help from NetherRealm. The PC version is being developed by QLOC.

Mortal Kombat 1 Gamplay
In the game Mortal Kombat 1, made by NetherRealm, there are many different ways to play, like different modes and powerful finishing moves. They even have something called Kameo Fighters, which are special partners you can pick to help you in fights, and they’re not connected to the Xbox 360 game called Kameo.
There’s also a cool feature in the game for people who may need it. It’s called the fatality narration option, and it lets you hear a detailed description of the finishing moves in the game. This makes it easier for some people to enjoy the game. Here, you can find out if your PC is ready to handle Mortal Kombat 1.
Mortal Kombat 1 Fighters
NetherRealm said they’re bringing back old characters from early Mortal Kombat games in their new game. Even though they didn’t show Johnny Cage in the first video, they said he’d be in the game.
They also said you can make him look like the famous actor Jean-Claude Van Damme by downloading a special outfit for him.

Mortal Kombat 1 Beta
Betas are super important for online games because they help the game makers make sure their servers work well. Plus, they let excited players try out a game before it officially comes out. So here you can check our Mortal Kombat 1 beta guide, we’ll explain how you can get into the beta and start playing.
A big fan of the game Genshin Impact came up with a cool idea for the character Mona, who uses water magic. Mona has been in the game since 2020, and a lot of players still really like using her to make things wet in their team.
If you want to get the character Dehya (five-star Pyro user) in Genshin Impact, there are two ways to try. One way is to spin on the Standard Banner, but it has 6 other characters, and Dehya is one of them. The other way is to try your luck on the Limited Character Banner, but it’s a bit like a coin toss – you might get Dehya or another character from that group.
Genshin Impact has always been all about the characters you can play as, and that’s because they make a lot of money from them. Even though they keep adding new characters to the game, some players still like using the old ones.
People in the game community also like to make art that puts these characters in different games or places. There’s a Reddit user named KyeriArt who made a cool modern version of a character named Mona Megistus, who’s an astrologist from the city of Mondstadt.
Mona is an astrologer who’s really good at predicting things by looking at the stars. She’s also good at something called hydromancy, which is like magic with water. What’s even more amazing is that she can tell if someone wants to do something bad or guess what might happen to them in the future.
There was a time in a game called Genshin Impact when a character named Wanderer, who later became known as the 6th Harbinger Scaramouche, appeared. He seemed friendly when he said hello, but Mona could feel that he had bad plans. So, she quickly made a plan to get away from him before he could do anything harmful.
Fans really like the fan-made artwork. It got more than 3,000 upvotes on the Genshin Impact subreddit. Some fans think that if the artist, KyeriArt, changed the character’s hair a bit, she would look great in Honkai: Star Rail.
In these games, characters sometimes take inspiration from each other. When it comes to fighting, Mona is still seen as a really strong character who can deal a lot of damage.
Mona is really useful in Genshin Impact because she can fit into almost any team. She can do something special with her power called Mirror Reflection of Doom. It lets her make a fake copy of herself that tricks the bad guys and gives you a chance to move to a better spot.
The new update 1.3 for Honkai: Star Rail doesn’t have much of the main story, just about 15 to 20 minutes of talking and scenes to catch you up on what’s been going on and give you a hint of what’s coming next.
But the company HoYoverse did a great job with two exciting events in the game, called “Hustle and Bustle of Aurum Alley” and “Swarm Disaster.” They also made the game better by increasing the power capacity for Trailblaze, which makes it more fun to play.
Aurum Alley is a place where people are trying to make a run-down neighborhood better. They are also fighting against a big company called IPC. In this game, players start to care about the characters they meet in Aurum Alley.
As you play, Aurum Alley becomes a great place with delicious food and fun shopping. It would be even better if you could change how Aurum Alley looks in the game, to make it unique for each player.
But that’s just an extra nice thing to have. The event in the game is really good, with a great theme and fun mini-games. Could things get any better than that? Well, HoYoverse has a way of surprising us.

On September 6, 2023, there was a big update for the popular game mode called Honkai: Star Rail. This update, called “Swarm Disaster,” added a lot of new content to the game that players really like.
But the best part is, this update is so good that if it were sold as a separate DLC for $5, it would be worth it. It’s not just about adding new content; it also changes the way the game is played. They introduced something called Audience Dice, which lets players plan their strategies better. And the best part is, this update is free for everyone to enjoy!
What’s really cool about the Swarm Disaster is how tough it is. You can’t just finish it quickly and get all the rewards in a day. Some players might have done it, but most can’t. And that’s what Honkai: Star Rail needed – a challenging, fight-focused final part that makes you use your brain and plan things out.

Yes, there is a place called the Forgotten Hall, but honestly, the Simulated Universe is way more exciting. It’s not just a quick test of your abilities; it offers a new long-term challenge. The Swarm Disaster adds a fresh objective for you to aim for.
It’s a reason to improve your characters and Light Cones, make your Traces as good as they can be, and experiment with different teams. Remember, it’s not a mode that disappears after a short time – it’s here to stay, so you have plenty of time to get all the rewards. No need to hurry.
This is what Genshin Impact players have wanted for a while, and Honkai: Star Rail did it first. But, there’s one problem: you can’t collect Planar Ornaments in the new Swarm Disaster mode like you can in the regular Simulated Universe worlds. It would be great if you could do both, making the new mode even more valuable.
Overall, this update from HoYoverse is impressive. If they keep giving us content like this regularly, nobody will complain that Honkai: Star Rail doesn’t have a good endgame.
