   A rumored leak of new changes coming to Xbox Game Pass has the internet speculating on the future of the service.

   More details are coming to light surrounding Sony's decision to part ways with Hideo Kojima's Physint project.

In other news, another Sony-related property has popped up under a different name. What looks like a trailer for the extraction shooter Fairgame$ has appeared, but under the name Project Espresso.

    Wed, 02 Sep 2026 22:05:35 -0000
