#download the ea dlc unlocker first

[simmysunset]

just thought i'd leave this here

thanks to this wonderful video, i learned how to get access to all of the sims 4 expansions totally legally. if you don't wanna go through all those steps, you might just be able to get them, too, if you follow this link...

instructions can be found in the video or in the tags. i will make my own video for my process in the future. when i do, i'll edit this post and link it here.

[whimhaven]

Do you have a tutorial for how you moved your game?

out of all the tutorials i've looked up this one helped me the best with moving my game to an external hard drive.

and this tutorial helped me with moving my mods folder!

(please back up all your mods, tray, and saves before you do this!)

now this tutorial is for the ea app (my condolences) so before i did all of this i deleted my 🏴‍☠️ game and proceeded to download the base game from the app and follow the first tutorial to make sure it installed on my external.

once i got that working i used the second tutorial to make sure my mods/saves/tray folder on my external drive was linked to the drive on my computer! now in the tutorial they are using ts2 as an example so the file path will be slightly different but they explain that.

once they are linked you should be good! i then proceeded to get the rest of my packs via dlc unlocker but if you have them purchased you can dl the rest of them too.

[hood-simz]

hey about your old blogs fuck ea post does that affect Origen because my Origen app is fucked up or does the game think you have already bought it?

Hey! Hope I can help, but I'm a little confused as to your meaning.

Are you meaning my "price callout post?" And are you meaning my link to the Anadius version of the game? If you went and downloaded that, no it shouldn't be affecting your Origin app.

I'm not on Mac, and haven't used one since I was in secondary school, but I know 2 things for certain; the first being that the Origin app was always a broken piece of crap but somehow better than the EA app is now, and the second thing being that EA could likely be making your Origin finicky so you switch to the EA app entirely.

I downloaded the pirated DLC so long ago that I forget technical specifics, but if your wondering if the game thinks you bought DLC that you got via the sims 4 updater + unlocked via the DLC unlocker, yes it does. I forget which order it goes in, but I think you use Sims 4 Updater then DLC unlocker- could be in the reverse, I forget lol. I used to want to do walkthroughs with people having issues with Anadius's instructions, but I'm not the most reliable and they're already pretty straightforward with their instructions as long as you follow them to a T.

If you have any more general questions though, I'll try my best to help💖

how to download sims 4 packs for free(mac)

Hi Besties, I recently posted on instagram about how I found a way to download the sims 4 expansion packs , game pack and stuff packs so here are the instructions on how to install them. If you have any issues please contact me on instagram and i'll happily help out.

here are a couple things to consider:

this tutorial is for mac only, there are options for windows on the website in step 1 and there should be instructions there aw well

do this at your own risk, i am not responsible for any issues or viruses you get on your computer. downloading anything off the internet risks the chance of viruses so be careful

If you have questions please dm me on INSTAGRAM @imanimckee , please make sure you are following me so that I get your message request.

now for the tutorial.

STEP 1: DOWNLOADING THE UNLOCKER

first thing we want to do type "sims 4 updater mac" into your web browser or go to this website. next, what we'll do is scroll down until you find "step 1" and follow the steps.

step 1 says to download the file: origin DLC unlocker for mac so let's do that. click this link then under "origin" and "EA" click the first link depending on which software you use to play the sims. if you use origin download with this link, if you use EA use this link.

the file should download in a .zip file, if this is the case it's downloading correctly. if not, you didn't do it right or there's some restriction on your computer.

once the file is downloaded, click it(or double click) to extract it. your computer should do it automatically but if not, go to the app store and download a zip extractor.

now, you should quit origin so it's not open at all. this means completely shut down the app(don't uninstall it, just close the app). to do this, click "quit" when holding down on the app

once you've done that, we're going to open the DLC unlocker folder we downloaded. inside the folder, there is a file called "fix originclient.command", hard press on the file then click "open" and it should open terminal.

NOTE: playing around with terminal can be detrimental to your computer. make sure to back up your device and do this at your own risk.

once terminal is open, follow the prompt and where it says "press any key to continue" press enter/return on your keyboard. once you've done that, it should say process completed. if it does, you did it correctly. if it doesn't, please contact me on instagram for further help.

now, we're going to repeat the process but with the "add fake entitlements.command". so, open the folder once again, open the file "add fake entitlements.command" and do what it says. if it says "press any key to continue", press enter/return on your keyboard. when it lists different sims games in order from 0-2, press 2 for sims4. if you're not playing sims4, this tutorial is not for you. after typing 2, press enter/return. now it'll ask you to open the sims4 online and quit it immediately after. to do this, open origin like normally, run the sims4(but don't play), then immediately quit the game once you get to the main screen. once you've done that, quit origin and go back to the terminal window and press enter/return on your keyboard. it should say "process completed" if you did it correctly.

STEP 2: DOWNLOADING THE PACK(S)

now, we're going to download our pack to add to our sims4 game. to do this click this link. if you scroll down, you should see an organized table of all the sims4 packs. important thing to note: download each pack one at a time. after each download of each pack you must redownload the DLC unlocker and repeat the steps in step 1.

to download your desired pack, click the red link beside the pack name. once you click the red link, it should immediately start to download. there may be an additional tab that opens , close it and go back to the original tab. I noticed it did this a few times before it finally downloaded th pack so just keep closing the additional tab until your desired pack is downloading

your file should be an .iso file. if this is the case, you're doing it correctly. if not, please dm me on instagram. wait for the file to download and once it's downloaded, DO NOT OPEN IT select the file , hard press , open with , → disk image mounter this step is important if you don't open the file correctly it won't apper in your game, please contact me for help.

now, we can open the .iso file from our downloads folder. a window should pop up named TS4-(your pack) with a folder inside , if this isn't the case something is wrong and/or you didn't do it correctly. We're going to go into finder and find the sims 4 packs folder. to do this, open finder → search → sims 4 packs. drag the folder into the sims 4 packs folder we just found.

lastly , make sure your game is offline. from now on anytime you want to play the game you have to open it while offline - you can disconnect from your wifi or go offline in origin. You can do this by opening origin → account → go offline.

If you open it online you will have to repeat all the above steps. But once your game is loaded you can go online from in the game. once origin is offline , open your sims4 game and it should be in there. if necessary i will post a tutorial soon but i hope this helps!

Thrift Store Overhaul

Have you always wanted your Sims to be able to go to the store and purchase clothing items then only after purchasing these clothing items they will be unlocked in CAS? Well, this mod does exactly that!

The Thrift Store Overhaul mod overrides the current Thrift Store that came with the High School Years expansion pack. This mod locks every single clothing item, Accessories, and shoes in game and to unlock the items you'll have to purchase them at the Thrift Store and only the swatch of the clothing item you bought will be automatically unlocked. The Thrift Store Overhaul mod is currently only accessible for Teens, Young Adult, Adult, and Elders.

DLC: High School Years

This mod uses the XML Injector by SCUMBUMBO.

This mod is an OVERRIDE of the Thrift Store. This means that any other mod that overrides any file of the Thrift Store is NOT compatible!!

There are only a few clothing items that are currently not locked in game. These items have been purposely stayed unlocked so that your Sim can have an outfit when you start a new game. Also, Career outfits, traditional/cultural outfits, costumes, reward outfits, and ripped outfits are not locked.

Known Issues:

Get to Work retail system does not work! However, you can still purchase the outfit that is shown on the mannequin and wear it right away. Then after purchasing this outfit, I've added a new interaction: "Purchase a Different Outfit..." what will bring you into the Thrift Store outfit creation mode.

Clothes are not unlocked when you purchase them from another Sim on Trendi. However, you can still resell this outfit and wear the outfit when you click the wear outfit interaction.

If you do not purchase the first swatch of an outfit, you'll have two thumbnails in game showing the same outfit. One is the original and will have the lock on the thumbnail the second one is the colour swatch you've purchased. This is how EA's system works and not a bug in the mod. This doesn't cause any issues it's just annoying to look at.

[strwbrryvagabond]

hey sims tumblr! a couple months ago I got the sims 4 and all its dlcs from steam unlocked because fuck paying EA they can suck my non-existent dick, but the other day, after downloading some new cc (which had NEVER caused me any issues) my game began having an invalid remid error. OK cool whatever, I put in like seventy different remid cookies when prompted, following every instruction down to the last letter, still not working

so I did some googling, all the posts are just saying, put in a new remid and it will work, can't find a single person this didn't work for, so I uninstall after copying my mod folder somewhere else. reinstall it over night, even made a new account since I'd only had the game for like a month and a half, and it worked fine when I opened it offline (keep in mind, I couldn't even open it online because I was STILL getting the remid error and I tried about 10-20 more new codes) and all is well. I put my mods and cc back in under the right folder, and It won't open again

here's where sacrificials mods come in. I didn't have any issues until then. I tired to get extreme violence and life tragedies earlier, but the regular download directly from the website didn't work. whatever, I don't need them that badly. then I find the mods again on sacrificial's patreon, I download those and I don't have the error message when putting them in my mods folder that I did the first time when using the downloads from the initial site. sweet, go to load up my game, and that's where this all started.

tldr: has anyone else who used sacrificals mods, either extreme violence or life tragedies if you had a cracked version of the game had this problem? I'm trying so hard to get my game back, I don't even care about my old save files anymore since they were mostly test files, I just want to be able to play my favorite game again.

Star Wars Battlefront II: A New Hope. A Gamers Review.

The Star Wars Battlefront franchise established its name in the early 2000s when the games were released for the Xbox and PlayStation 2. What a time to be alive that was. The prequels were in full swing, The Clone Wars were just getting started on Cartoon Network and Star Wars was at the peak of its popularity with the Millennial generation. So, when we heard the news of Star Wars Battlefront being reborn and heading for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, naturally we were all excited. But once we popped the disk into the consoles, we were left wondering “Is this the same franchise that provided us with countless hours of fun so long ago?”. Star Wars Battlefront was a disaster. It almost ruined the franchise and left a lot of gamers sour.

Star Wars Battlefront I was incomplete when it was released. There was no story/campaign mode for single player gamers. The multiplayer mode was at the very least bland, with minimal characters and game modes. The game also only featured characters and maps based off the original trilogy, which alienated fans of the prequels and sequels (yes, there are fans of those eras). EA was flat out lazy. When you pair this with EA’s reputation of under producing games to then later force players to spend more money on numerous DLC packs (downloadable content), fans lost trust in the franchise. This is evident in many of EA sports franchises such as Madden NFL, Battlefield, and most notably The Sims franchise. Although many games are using microtransactions to make more money, many of the most popular games that offer a variety of game packs are free these days, most notably Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone. EA still charges $19.99 for the Star Wars Battlefront II game. Alessandro Fillari for Gamespot also mentions this in their review,

“Battlefront II plants itself in the same territory as free-to-play games, with much of its content and characters tucked away behind progression walls and randomized loot crates. This is an especially disappointing reality for a full-priced release.” Alessandro Fillari, Gamespot.com.

Although we agree here, I personally think his score of 6/10 overall is a bit harsh for the game.

This takes us to Star Wars Battlefront II. When I heard that there was a sequel coming out, I already had doubt in the second installment before it had even been released. I was wondering how is EA going to mess this one up? From my personal gaming experience, I believe Star Wars Battlefront II is a major improvement to its predecessor, but many previously devoted fans chose not to purchase the second game after the disappointment and disaster around the first installment.

CAMPAIGN MODE

Being provided with a campaign mode at all has been a huge improvement from the first installment, but let’s take a closer look at it. The Campaign mode on Star Wars Battlefront II is actually pretty good. It changes up the pace of the story by switching between third person shooting missions, where you navigate the map and take on the empire head-to-head with various weapons, to straight out dog fights in space. Flying Tie fighters and X-wing aircrafts in space is a nice touch to keep you on your toes while keeping the game fresh, because how many more first or third person shooter games do we really need?

In the story mode you play as Iden Versio, who starts as a high-ranking commander for the Galactic Empire. Since the story takes place right after the events of episode six, Return of the Jedi, the empire falls after the death of Darth Sidious and has left the empire desperate and looking to take the galaxy down with it. Iden Versio sees the error in the empire’s ways and pretty soon into the story she defects to the rebel alliance. This story setup allows players the opportunity to get to play both sides of the war, which I’m sure will be appreciated by some fans. One of my personal gripes is that the story mode itself is more on the short side.

Campaign mode score: 7.5/10

SINGLE PLAYER MODE

Single player mode is pretty standard. It consists of three modes. Battle Scenarios is a mode where you can customize games to play against the AI. You can also customize all the rules and choose which side you would like to play as. In arcade mode you can complete certain missions and objectives with special characters from both the light and dark side. There is also a pretty standard practice/tutorial mode. These are great additions to the game but can get stale and repetitive rather quickly.

Single player mode score: 6.6/10

MULTIPLAYER MODE

This is the games bread a butter. Multiplayer is vastly improved from the last installment. EA has listened to the fanbase and has diversified the game by adding the characters and maps from both the prequel and sequels to the game. One of the biggest flaws of Battlefront I was the lack of iconic characters such as Kylo Ren or Yoda being playable in the game. Battlefront II fixes that with modes like Supremacy, which is a capture the flag type game mode, that allows you to pick era of the franchise you would like to play in.  Another online game mode is “Heroes and Villains”. If you ever wondered how Obi-Wan Kenobi vs Kylo Ren would turn out, or what Luke Skywalker vs Darth Maul would look like? Then this is the game mode for you. You can battle with Star Wars most popular and iconic characters using lightsabers, blasters, as well as use the force to fight your way to victory in a 4v4 battle royale.

David Jagneux describes this in his review for IGN, “What’s great about Battlefront 2 is that it lets you play with all of its toys, no questions asked. Every character class and playable hero is available from the start, and the tedious unlocking grind from launch has been completely removed. Luke, Vader, Boba Fett, Rey – you name them, they’re all here.” David Jagneux, IGN.com. David gave the game a solid score of 8.8/10.

Multiplayer mode score: 10/10

This brings me to the conclusion. Star Wars Battlefront II is a very good game, and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a great multiplayer game with a few single player modes to throw into the mix. When compared to the first Battlefront to come to the new generation of consoles it is a massive upgrade. I am usually hard on EA as I am not a fan of many of their games, but I have to admit that they have done great job capturing the essence of the original Star Wars Battlefront games for Xbox and PlayStation 2, which is something that many companies have had a hard time doing as of late, even with superior gaming consoles such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series One being released. You have to give props where they are due. Star Wars Battlefront II has my full recommendation and stamp of approval, it’s a fun game whether you are a huge Star Wars fan or are just looking for a diverse online/offline adventure.

Final Score: 8/10 with a great multiplayer mode!

Fun Free Online Games & Social Networking

Computer and game titles are becoming very popular. Particularly the curiosity about playing fun free online games on the internet is increasing strongly.

Inspite of the growing popularity of YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook, gaming remains the king of online entertainment, driven largely by casual gaming activities.

Sites like Yahoo Games and EA's Pogo.com offer users use of a success of advertisement supported free online games, where sponsors have choices for branding opportunities, and display and banner ad placements.

Online games on the consoles could develop into a $10.5 billion business by 2011 from $981 million in 2007, according to market researcher IDC.

In 2007, online console revenue are at 2.5% of total global video game market revenue, including console and handheld hardware and software revenue. By 2011, revenue from connected consoles will represent 18.6% of total market revenue.

Although subscription revenue for premium online services and games will grow from $476 million in 2007 to over $2.4 billion in 2011, its share of online console revenue will decline from 48.5% in 2007 (already down from the most of 86.5% in 2006) to 23.2% by 2011.

Downloadable content (DLC) consisting of games and game-related items, which at $35 million in 2006 represented a 13.5% market share of online console revenue, will end up connected consoles'primary revenue source in 2007, growing from $493 million in 2007 to $7.2 billion in 2011. In 2011, game-centric DLC could make up 68.6% of online revenue.

Advertising revenue from sponsored services, in-game ads, and product placement in connected consoles will reach $12 million in 2007, posting the very first significant online console ad spend. Advertising revenue will grow to $858 million in 2011, with an 8.2% market share of online revenue.

Computer game growth will be strongest in the Asia Pacific region, its largest market, with a 10% annual growth rate through 2011, but increases in the Europe/Middle East/Africa region (10.2%), the U.S. (6.7%), Canada (9.4%), and Latin America (8.2%) as well.

Certain trends hold steady across most regions: For example, driven by increased penetration of broadband access, online gaming is surging. In the U.S. and Europe/Middle East/Africa, online gaming represents the fastest-growing consumer segment (19.3% and 24.6%, respectively); in Asia Pacific and Canada, online growth came in second simply to wireless (at 16.1% and 13.9%, respectively). Other trends tend to be more regional. The in-game advertising market is expected to boost 64% in the U.S. And in China it is expected to go up at a compound annual rate of 14.3% to $2 billion in 2011, most all of that growth will be online games.

Spurred by the newest generation of consoles and handhelds, and by increased penetration of broadband and wireless technologies, the video game industry is ripe with opportunity. "Growth in platforms enables you to hit new demographics," says Stefanie Kane, someone with PwC's entertainment and media practice, noting that handheld game devices have brought more women into the market, and that the entrance of cable and on-demand TV channels will further widen the base. "There is a lot of unlocked potential."

You might think the facial skin of one of many hottest areas in gaming right now's a male in his 20s who owns the latest supercharged gaming system from Microsoft or Sony - or both.

But you'd be wrong.

Instead, the epitome of the new-era gamer is a lady in her late 30s or early 40s who plays on the average PC.

Yes, the video game industry appears to have been fired up its head.

For a long time, the dominant themes have been faster game machines, increasingly realistic graphics, more immersive play, in addition to the old standbys - blood, guts and blowin'stuff up.

But that picture has begun to check increasingly outdated. While teenage boys dominate the gaming industry as a whole, casual wow powerleveling games are one of many fastest-growing areas of a and attracting a whole new demographic.

You can find signs of the revolution everywhere. One of many fastest-growing areas of the game industry is centred on so-called casual fun free online games, PC-based titles that users can generally start playing in minutes and usually don't require the mastery of some mixture of multiple buttons to enjoy.

The upheaval has spread to the console market, as sales of Nintendo's Wii console and DS handheld, both of which stress fun-to-play games over powerful processors or realistic graphics, are far outstripping their supercharged competitors from Microsoft and Sony.

Revenue streams enabled by active online consoles in this cycle show the strongest growth in the sector and won't only determine the long run success of the console vendors but also be vital to the success of many third-party publishers.

The Landscape of Microtransactions at E3 2018

The gaming industry knows people are mad about microtransactions but think they have some less offensive ways to monetize new releases.

This year at E3, industry leaders ducked and dodged through a crowd of people who have had enough with games selling power and progression in loot boxes and behind paywalls in modern video games. With big players such as EA wanting to appease the masses after losing trust among fans with the Star Wars Battlefront II fiasco, developers and publishers shined the spotlight on fresh releases, free updates, and large, paid downloadable content (DLC) that work more like major expansions than minor add-ons. Still, ever-watchful at Microtransaction.Zone, we spotted a few games and certain trends that reveal the long-term intentions of the developers and publishers on site.

EA, having been the focus of much of the hatred for microtransactions in 2017, laid out its apologies and promises to avoid loot boxes and pay-to-win content. Their presentation moved through a number of future releases such as Battlefront V and Unravel Two with these promises hanging in the air. Not long after announcing Anthem’s official release date and closing the main presentation, Anthem’s Executive Producer Mark Darrah responded to Twitter user João Amaro Lagedo’s question about monetization by saying there would be “no ability to spend money on player advantage at all” and no loot boxes, but did state they would sell some form of cosmetic items so players could customize their experience.

Bethesda joined the conversation with similar goals but less emphasis on avoiding microtransactions. The launch of the Creation Club, a platform for lightly-curated, buy-able mods in Fallout 4, didn’t amass as much negative attention. They focused on their headliner, Fallout 76, showcasing the Fallout universe’s first foray into massively multiplayer gaming. Though it wasn’t discussed in the conference itself, Noclip’s “The Making of Fallout 76” reveals that the game will feature free content updates — which are, of course, paid for by selling cosmetic items. There’s no word on the price or nature of the cosmetics, but it echoes a multitude of other games approaching cosmetic DLC as the crowd-friendly alternative to post-launch monetization. They also announced a new free-to-play iOS/Android game called The Elder Scrolls: Blades. Bethesda didn’t go into detail about Blades, so whether or not it will feature purchasable upgrades reminiscent of Fallout Shelter remains a mystery.

Nintendo brought their own flavor of monetization to E3. Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!/Eevee! add to the list of main series Pokemon games releasing alongside peripherals, such as the Pokewalker for Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver. In comes the Pokeball Plus — the most expensive add-on yet — at a cool $49.99 USD, or $99.99 USD when purchased as a bundle with Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Let’s Go, Eevee! It works as a controller, plays the sounds of a Pokemon you “store” inside, and includes the legendary Mew as a bonus, but it doesn’t modify the way the game plays. The Pokeball Plus doesn’t come as a surprise from a company that consistently releases physical add-ons for their consoles such as Amiibos, which we can reasonably more of in the wake of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. After the Nintendo conference Nintendo of America’s President, Reggie Fils-Aimé defended lootboxes, stating loot boxes have received “a bad rap” and are interesting “as long as that’s not the only way you can get those items,” signalling that we may yet see Mario, Zelda, and other series include loot boxes akin to what they already have in mobile games like Fire Emblem: Heroes.

Ubisoft has decided to take a shot at the toys-to-life model game model with Starlink: Battle for Atlas, announcing that a line of ship parts, ships, and other figures will release alongside the game. Unlike the Skylanders series or the now-defunct Infinity series of toys, they say parts unlocked by toys remain unlocked digitally and new areas won’t be locked behind toys. It remains to be seen if the toys will give significant advantages over digital-only content.

E3 attracts gaming industry leaders every year, and developers and publishers show off their newest products, aiming to surprise, excite, and attract as many people as humanly possible to their flagship games. Even so, it’s worth noting that free-to-play PC games and mobile games were the top-grossing games in 2017 thanks to microtransactions. When games like Star Wars Battlefront II drew ire to the state of the industry, console and PC game developers had to reconsider how to increase profits for games after their initial launch and lean in on self-awareness to calm the crowd, as satirized by Devolver’s Lootboxcoin and attempted in Bethesda’s Skyrim skit. Fallout 76, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and Anthem are only a handful of games at E3 that developers claim will provide fair, minimally-influential microtransactions, usually by emphasizing that they’re selling cosmetic changes. If the landscape of E3 is anything to believe, the 2018 holiday season and 2019 will bring even more games that reveal that they, too, have cosmetics or “minor” power-ups for consumers willing to spend a few extra dollars. Only then will we know how far is too far — or what we’re willing to tolerate.

I’ve cross-posted this article on Medium in the hopes of building a writing portfolio! Check it out and follow me if you want to see more. Thanks! Love, Taylor @ Microtransaction.Zone

Your Xbox E3 Briefing Round-Up

The Xbox briefing is over and we have a TONNE of information to relay for you from the most action packed conference Microsoft have put on to date including;

50 games 18 exclusives 15 world premieres

Let’s crack on with it ...

Kicking off in iconic fashion with a new Halo title Halo Infinite was announced to be powered by Slip Space engine for Xbox and Windows 10. Halo Infinite will follow the Master Chief on his latest journey and will be part of the Xbox Game Pass programme and enter the catalogue on global release day. We watched a short video but were not given a release date or any game details as of yet but a lot of gamers will be happy to see the franchise back on PC.

Immediately afterwards Phil Spencer (Xbox Business Executive) spent a few minutes talking about Gamers Outreach and how all the proceeds from FanFest 2018 will go to the nonprofit organisation which provides equipment, entertainment, technology, and software to kids who are undergoing treatment in hospitals throughout the United States and Canada. A very worthwhile cause, I’m sure you’ll agree!

The first exclusive and what’s sure to be another beautifully presented and well told story - Ori and the Will of the Wisps coming 2019.

World premier - From Software and ActiVision have teamed up to blend Bloodborne style gameplay with with a samurai setting in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice coming in 2019. When these conferences come around you’re looking for something fresh to get excited over and this ticks all the boxes. Personally, I can’t wait to see more of this!

Todd Howard (Director at Bethesda) came on stage to talk about Fallout. He announced that Fallout 4 is accessible via the Xbox Game Pass immediately and then gave us a world premier glimpse of Fallout 76. A prequel to the previous releases, Fallout 76 will be four times the size of Fallout 4 and set in West Virginia (as most people guessed from the recent teaser trailer). Hype levels now through the roof!

World Premier - Dontnod have been working on a new story within the Life is Strange universe. Launching on June 26th The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit centres around a young adventurous boy and his imagination. It will be a free download available on the Xbox Store. Who doesn’t love a free game?

Xbox Exclusive - Crackdown 3. Recently pushed back to 2019 (possibly in an attempt to capture the ever intense energy levels of Terry Crews) I am praying this series can return to the glory of the original.

Nier: Automata - Become As Gods Edition will include all previously released dlc and launches on 26th June with Xbox One X enhancements. This is one title that has had me casting envious eyes at my PlayStation owning friends. Very excited to get my hands on this one!

Metro Exodus is coming to Xbox One and Windows 10. A much slept on franchise, Metro never fails to tell a compelling story in an immersive world. Launches February 22nd 2019.

For the first time ever on Xbox, Kingdom Hearts 3 will be set in the Frozen world and will land in January 2019.

Exclusive - Microsoft Studios present us with a glimpse of what’s to come from Sea of Thieves. Cursed Sails will launch in July (just around the corner) and Forsaken Shores follows in September. All content will be available on Xbox Game Pass.

EA and Dice gave us a glimpse of Battlefield V. You play As a Norwegian resident based in Germany trying to save your family.

Exclusive World Premier - Forza Horizon 4 will be set in Britain and features new dynamic Seasons which unlocks different areas depending on the time of year. FH4 will be available on Xbox Game Pass at time of global launch (October 2nd) and will be cross play on Windows 10. This looks absolutely beautiful and we’ll bring you more info on this when we get hands on this Tuesday.

Phew .. That was a lot to take in. Time to talk about Microsoft Studios’ purchasing power...

Phil Spencer reappears and tell us how dedicated the team are to providing quality games for us all. So much so they’ve created a brand new Game studio named The Initiative led by Darrell Gallagher (former head of Crystal Dynamics). Undead Labs, Playground Games, Ninja Theory (wow!!) and Compulsion Games have all been acquired by Microsoft Games and we can look forward to new content from them all - including We Happy Few which is nearing a full release.

Exclusive - more PUBG game modes and environments. Coming this Winter.

World Premier - Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Edition. Yawn. Every rollercoaster needs a slow climb at some point, I suppose. Another release in Winter this year.

World Premier - The Division 2 with adder mundane and blatantly fake in game ‘bantz’. After a less than successful initial release, the original was eventually mopped up and turned into a solid experience. So, I should imagine there’s a core of gamers looking forward to this one. Landing this year and Powered by Snowdrop.

Ashley Speicher comes on stage to talk about Xbox Game Pass and how gamers are gaming. A lot. This is good...

What’s even better is the new machine learning technology that’s hoping to install games faster. This will be part of the June update at end of month.

Halo MCC is coming to Xbox Game Pass later this year. Every month will include new games and today The Division, Elder Scrolls Online, and Fallout 4 have been added to the Game Pass library. All playable now and all come with Xbox One X sexy visual enhancements.

There’s a trailer with a bunch of games coming soon to Xbox One. Too many to keep up with. I encourage you to seek this out on YouTube!

Next we have an extended Shadow of the Tomb Raider trailer and I’m now on the verge of wetting myself with excitement. Lara’s last adventure was her best yet in my opinion and I’m still ploughing through the enormous amount of content included in the complete edition. Between this and the new Forza, this year’s release calendar is looking incredible. Launches September 14th.

Console Exclusive - A new skating game titled Session.

Console Launch Exclusive - Pearl Abyss are dropping an impressive looking Black Desert Online. Beta registration begins Autumn 2018

World Premier - Devil May Cry is back! Time for round 5. Plenty of demon slaying action on the way! The game creator believes it’s his best game yet. I suppose we’ll just have to take his word for it at this moment in time.

New content for Cuphead! Very cool! Coming in 2019.

Tunic. Looks super cute. No release date.

Phil Spencer is back. This time ‘community’ is on the agenda. Everything else is world premiering games. Let’s hope they’re good ones...

Bandai Namco have been working on a new title. Jump Force coming in 2019.

Techland’s Dying Light 2 looks fantastic! It’s added hundreds of choices with real consequences to the world. I’ve not played the first one but this might twist my arm. Definitely one of the stand out trailers so far.

Battletoads is back in 2019!

Just Cause 4 announced ... Officially. And it looks absolutely mental. As you’d expect. Releases December 4th.

Gears of War Pop coming to mobile.

Gears Tactics is a turn based Gears of War game exclusive to Windows.

More importantly, Gears of War 5 is coming and there’s an action packed trailer to tell us so much more. Check it out!

Phil Spencer is back and promising console quality gaming on every device. He states the hardware team are “deep into architecting the next Xbox consoles”. And then he’s rudely interrupted by CD Projekt Red who come along and drop the mic with an outstanding looking game called CyberPunk 2077. This is worth watching multiple times as there’s so much going on.

And that’s finally it... As ever, we’ll bring you more information on each of the games as we get our hands on them at E3 but for now I hope that rounds up all the information from the Xbox briefing in one happy and safe space for you.

Let us know what your highlights were in the Facebook comments or tweet us. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

- Gavin
