Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice takes top spot in the UK all format physical sales chart in its debut week. Sales monitor Chart-Track says the top of the chart was "close" this week, as From Software's new game forces last week's No.1, The Division 2, down to No.2 for the week ending March 23.Elsewhere the chart is full of familiar faces. FIFA 19 finishes at No.3, while Rockstar's huge open-world games Grand Theft Auto V (No.4) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (No.5) round out the top five. Battlefield V re-enters the top 40 at No.18, likely boosted by the impending launch of its battle royale mode, Firestorm. Aside from Sekiro, no brand-new titles enter the chart this week.Sekiro has also enjoyed a strong critical reception, including a 9/10 in GameSpot's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice review-in-progress. "Sekiro marries From Software's unique brand of gameplay with stealth action to deliver an experience that is as challenging as it is gratifying," wrote Tamoor Hussain.You can read the full top 10 sales chart for this week below, courtesy of UKIE and GfK Chart-Track.

For months, WWE fans have been wondering if and when women would main event Wrestlemania. And with the tremendous build towards Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair at the PPV, surely, Wrestlemania 35 would be the place this momentous bout would happen. Now WWE has revealed a new poster for Mania, and it's official. The Raw Women's Championship match will main event the PPV.As you can see below, the Wrestlemania poster spotlights the feud, which has been the highlight of all WWE story lines since a few weeks before Survivor Series back in November. Right before that PPV, Lynch and the other women of Smackdown attacked the women of Raw, Lynch got her nose broken. Completely bloodied, she taunted from the stands. It was the biggest moment of 2018 for WWE.Since then, Lynch's storyline has been a rollercoaster ride. She's been suspended, injured, beaten up people with crutches, and gotten beaten by other people with those same crutches. It was all leading to a match with Rousey at Mania, and of course, Flair got involved, so now it's a triple threat.What's been exceptionally wild about this feud is the back and forth between Lynch and Rousey on Twitter. Sometimes, it's a bit brutal, and Rousey loves angering wrestling fans on the social media site. The rivalry--on Twitter and off of it--has been the most popular thing in WWE, so making this match the main event makes perfect sense.Make sure to come back to GameSpot on Sunday, April 7 for live coverage of Wrestlemania and a review of the show.Info from Gamespot.com

With high-quality Genesis ports aplenty on PC and consoles, the most popular 16-bit Sega games are easier and cheaper to play today than ever. But if simply having access to some of your favorite Genesis games as digital downloads doesn't meet your personal standards, you can also go beyond and step into the expensive and complex world of vintage gaming with real cartridges and dedicated consoles.Getting Genesis games is easy enough (budget depending), but picking the right console is a more complicated task than you might realize at first. Until now, your choices were limited to Sega's classic consoles and cheaply made third-party clones, but even Sega's own hardware has issues that any serious Genesis fan should consider. From inaccurate audio to video interference, practically every model suffers from its own mix of shortcomings.This frustrating scenario is why the arrival of the $189 (plus shipping) Mega Sg from Analogue is practically a dream come true for the weary Genesis shopper. It's not the "perfect" Genesis, but it arguably qualifies as the "best" off-the-shelf Genesis, with a wide variety of useful and entertaining options to play with, and none of the usual issues that commonly plague other consoles. It's restricted to use on modern flat-screen displays, and won't work with your Menacer light gun or the 32x add-on, but the level of quality both inside and out more than makes up for these caveats.The Mega Sg comes with a Master System cartridge adapter, HDMI cable, Micro USB cable, power adapter, and a Sega CD spacer mat.The Mega Sg is a Micro USB-powered, region-free Genesis console that connects to your TV via HDMI, supporting multiple resolutions from 480p to 1080p, with an optional 3.5mm analog stereo audio port on the front of the system (similar to the original "Model 1" Genesis.) There are no controllers included in the box, but it supports original controllers and modern alternatives, such as the co-promoted M30 from 8BitDo.Pop off a door on the side, and the Mega Sg can be connected to both models of Sega CD hardware. It also works with Master System game converters, but to simplify the process Analogue has included a sleek adapter of its own, and will eventually release cartridge adapters for Game Gear, Mark III, Sega MyCard, SG-1000, and SC-3000 games. Traditionally troublesome games, like Sonic and Knuckles (in combination with Sonic 2 or 3), Virtua Racing, and the most popular flash carts, are all supported. And with built-in cheat code functionality, you don't need to worry about dusting off your Game Genie to tinker with your favorite games.One of the special features packed into the Mega Sg is Ultracore, a licensed release of a canceled Genesis game formerly known as Hardcore, developed by Digital Illusions (now known as DICE). Despite being ready for release, it was canceled by Psygnosis in 1994 purportedly due to the publisher's shrinking faith in the Genesis' popularity. It's a beautifully animated technical showpiece that packs a challenge, and it's a shame to think it's taken 25 years to see the light of day. It's both an interesting slice of gaming history and a strong pack-in for the Mega Sg.At the core of the Mega Sg is an FPGA chip (Altera Cyclone V), an increasingly common solution for retro gaming hardware that, when programmed correctly, can accurately mirror the functionality and behavior of original hardware. Analogue employs FPGA engineer Kevin Horton to design its hardware emulation cores, and "Kevtris" (Horton's popularized handle online) is widely regarded to be the best in the biz. For the Mega Sg, like the Super Nt and Nt Mini before it, Kevtris not only aims to recreate the best possible configuration of original hardware, but to also implement settings that allow you to manipulate various aspects of the audio and video output in ways that no other Genesis console can offer.8BitDo M30 shown for scale (the Mega Sg does not come with its own controller)For its clear and authentic sound alone, the Mega Sg is a worthwhile purchase if you take your Genesis experience seriously. The system's library is home to countless soundtracks and sound effects that deserve nothing less than the best-case hardware configuration, and because the Mega Sg's FPGA setup replicates the famed Yamaha YM2612 FM Synthesizer from the original system, you don't have to fear its audio output--something you can't say for most other Genesis consoles and clones that output harsh, muffled, or distorted audio. There's a good chance you've never heard the original Genesis at its best even if you were following along in the '90s.To have an accurate, reliable, and clean sounding Genesis in the Mega Sg solves one of the biggest headaches of shopping for a console. It's not the only solution, however. Experts in the hobbyist console modding scene have devised solutions of their own to improve the poor audio quality in later Model 1, Model 2, and Model 3 Genesis consoles. When compared to a Triple-Bypass amplified Model 2 Genesis by ear, the Mega Sg sounds like it uses a slightly narrower frequency range--an anecdotal observation, to be sure. The margin seems slim, however, but it's worth noting that there are other ways to get a great-sounding Genesis if you know where to look and what to do.In terms of extras, the Mega Sg provides a great variety of audio options. Some are designed to help balance out audio and tune it to your liking, while others exist solely to provide a means of reshaping the sound of Genesis soundtracks and sound effects, if only for the fun of it. The Mega Sg's audio settings include:Headphone output volume controls and support for high-impedance headphonesAudio channel volume controls for both FM and PSG sound chipsChannel panning controls-3db output cut (useful for audio equipment that fails to recognize a full-volume signal)Cartridge audio enable and volume controls (only activate to hear FM soundtracks for Master System games via the Power Base Mini FM or Mega Everdrive v2/X7--disable in other scenarios)Swap left & right stereo channelsLadder effect depth, to simulate audio crossover distortionYM2612 High-Quality mode (utilize full 14-bit audio waveforms rather than the traditional 9-bit range)YM2612 Waveform modulation (choose from over 30 variations to the standard sine wave used by the original genesis FM synthesizer)You don't need to understand all of the above to jump in and start tinkering with the audio to see what happens. You can't break anything, and it's easy to reset the Mega Sg's settings back to their default state if you wind up changing too many options. Having this freedom and control at your fingertips is something that no other Genesis console can offer, elevating the value of the Mega Sg for the knowledgeable and curious user alike. For a more thorough description of the Mega Sg's various technical settings, you can refer to the official Mega Sg Reference Manual.On the video side, the Mega Sg gives you control over the following options:Resolution (480p60, 720p60, 1080p60, 480p50, 720p50, 1080p50)Screen size, with fine height and width controls when Advanced Mode is enabled)Scalers, to smooth out pixel edges (HQ2x, HQ3x, HQ4x, Scale 2x, Scale 3x, X-Ray)Horizontal and vertical pixel interpolation, to account for odd pixel scaling resulting from uneven screen size settingsNormal and hybrid scanlinesFrame buffering, to balance performance, speed accuracy, and screen tearingDithering simulation, to replicate pseudo transparenciesScreen masking, to eliminate colored borders around the game screenRed, green, and blue color value slidersAdjusting the look of the Mega Sg's video output can be useful, with the most valuable video settings pertaining to adjusting the dimensions and aspect ratio to suit the game and display at hand. You don't need to change settings every time you switch games, but it's great to have the option should you feel the need to dial in the "right" settings.All of this would mean little if the Mega Sg had any issues actually playing games, but put simply, it ran every one of the dozens of Genesis, Sega CD, and Master System games I tested with no obvious flaws. They not only looked gorgeous and sounded awesome, but with essentially no perceptible input lag (be sure to use your TV's Game mode!), everything played well too.The Mega Sg on top of a Sega CD Model 1, using the included spacer mat.When a Genesis just works as intended, as the Mega Sg does, games take on a new light. With the audio intact and clearly presented, you get a better sense of the nuanced compositions running behind the scenes and suffer none of the infamous crunch and grind that comes from lesser systems. I've had a similar experience with my aforementioned Genesis 2, but it took a lot of effort and money to get there. I had to buy a video scaler from overseas (the Open Source Scan Converter), purchase custom SCART cables and PCBs, and ultimately take the risk of modifying my console to install the amplifier mod. It's an inelegant solution that I enjoyed pursuing, but the Mega Sg is my new preferred way to play Genesis games on a flat-screen display, relegating my souped up Model 2 for use on CRTs.Having spent so much time describing what the Mega Sg is capable of, it's worth also mentioning that it is a compact and wonderfully made console. It has heft, is built from solid materials that are pleasing to the touch, and bears an original design that looks like a proper reimagining of Sega's 16-bit hardware aesthetic. And just in case you're considering a Mega Sg for its Sega CD support, rest assured that an included mat will support Analogue's little console and protect your vintage CD unit--though there's nothing that can account for the conspicuous difference in scale between the two devices.So while roughly $200 is a lot to spend on a console to play Genesis games, right now, the Mega Sg is the easiest way to get them up and running on a modern TV without sacrificing audio or video quality--the support for Master System and Sega CD games is the icing on the cake. Some people will always prefer to go the route of using emulators, and others may only want to play with original hardware and stick to aftermarket mods. But if you are open to the idea of a third-party Genesis console, and you want the peace of mind knowing that it looks and sounds better than the best original console from Sega, there's no better option on the market than the Mega Sg.Editor's note: Analogue provided GameSpot with a complimentary Mega Sg for review.Info from Gamespot.com

Few game series have spanned multiple decades and left their mark as deeply on the industry as The Elder Scrolls, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year; its first title, The Elder Scrolls: Arena, debuted back in 1994. The Elder Scrolls series has produced multiple Game of the Year-winning titles, and as part of this week's anniversary celebration, Bethesda is giving away one of those Game of the Year winners for absolutely free: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.For today only, you can claim a free copy of Morrowind for PC--all you have to do is create a free Bethesda.net account, redeem the code TES25TH-MORROWIND, and download the Bethesda launcher to play. The game will be added to your account immediately.Morrowind is the third installment of The Elder Scrolls series and features a huge open-world that encourages free exploration rather than an emphasis on a linear plot. The game is set in the province of Morrowind on the island Vvardenfell, the land of the Dark Elves known as Dunmer. In GameSpot's Morrowind review, critic Greg Kasavin praised the game for its impressively detailed environments. "It's a beautiful-looking, sprawling, and completely open-ended game that allows you to play pretty much however you like as long as you're willing to fill in a few blanks using your imagination," he wrote.While the series has since progressed to produce other acclaimed, best-selling games, like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Elder Scrolls VI is in the works, Morrowind remains an important chapter in the series and beloved by fans. In 2017, a Morrowind expansion was even added to Elder Scrolls Online, allowing players to revisit the mushroom-covered island of Vvardenfell. For the all-time low price of $0, you definitely don't want to miss the chance to experience this classic RPG.The week-long celebration of Elder Scrolls continues with multiple other promotions this week, including a 50% off sale on all Elder Scrolls titles and add-ons (starting today) and a free play week for Elder Scrolls Online that starts this Thursday, March 28, and runs through April 4.Get The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for free on PC »Info from Gamespot.com

A new narrative action-adventure game will take a deeper look at the story of Gollum, the pitiful creature at the heart of the Lord of the Rings series. The Lord of the Rings - Gollum from Daedelic Entertainment is slated for 2021, with platforms to be determined.The story will follow the life of Smeagol, aka Gollum, as he finds and becomes corrupted by the One Ring. It will follow the events of the novels, so we all know where he ends up (spoilers: in a volcano), but the story promises "new events and details related to Gollum's journey."Right now it's due on PC, as well as whichever console platforms are "relevant" at the time. This appears to be the first of several planned partnerships between Daedelic and Middle-earth Enterprises."We tell Gollum's story from a perspective never seen before, in any storytelling medium, all the while staying true to the legendary books of J.R.R. Tolkien," says Daedalic CEO Carsten Fichtelmann in the announcement. "At a time when the games industry is undergoing structural changes and seeing new business models evolve, we are excited to realize a huge new production based on a story that has stayed fresh and relevant for more than 60 years."Info from Gamespot.com

As was recently rumored, Apple is expanding its presence in the games industry with a new game subscription service. Named Apple Arcade, the service is designed for mobile, desktop, and the living room. You can check out a brief overview trailer below.Essentially, Apple's service takes the form of a monthly subscription that provides unlimited access to a curated selection of paid titles on the App Store. Development partners include Sega, Konami, Disney, Sumo Digital, Cartoon Network, and more--more than 100 exclusive games will become part of the service. More games will be added "all the time," the company said. It will support games across iOS devices (both iPhones and iPads), MacOS, and Apple TV, and you'll be able to transfer your progress between these different platforms. In other words, you can move from playing something on your phone to your TV or laptop, for instance.Apple went on to state that every game would be playable offline, while future game updates and DLC would be included at no extra cost. In addition, you can pick up on other devices right where you left off. Apple Arcade will have its own tab on the App Store, and the games will be free of ads and microtransactions.Apple Arcade will be available in 150 countries "this fall." One key bit of information--how much it will cost--has not yet been shared. Apple says pricing and more details are still to come.During the event, we got a brief look at a few of the games coming to the service, with more being confirmed afterward in a press release. Among the confirmed games are Sonic Racing, Lego Brawls, Oceanhorn 2, Overland, Fantasian (from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi), and Beyond the Steel Sky (which is being worked on by Dave Gibbons of Watchmen fame). We also got a list of Apple Arcade developers and publishers, including names like Lego, Disney, Sega, and Konami.Apple says it will be "contributing to the development costs and working closely with creators to bring the games to life," suggesting it will do more than just pay developers for their games to be included. "The App Store is the world's biggest and most successful game platform. Now we are going to take games even further with Apple Arcade, the first game subscription service for mobile, desktop and the living room," said Apple marking boss Phil Schiller. "We are working with some of the most innovative game developers in the world to create over 100 new and exclusive games to play across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Apple Arcade games will be great for families, respect user privacy and will not have ads or require any additional purchases. We think players of all ages are going to love Apple Arcade."Unlike the recently announced Google Stadia, or PlayStation Now and Microsoft's xCloud, Apple's service is not cloud-based. The company also unveiled its new Apple TV+ service and a variety of exclusive original shows.Info from Gamespot.com

Digital Extremes' popular online shooter, Warframe, is celebrating its sixth anniversary this week with an assortment of freebies. On Wednesday, March 27, players across PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch will receive an exclusive Liset skin, along with all previous anniversary gifts, including last year's Dex Excalibur skin.2018 turned out to be the biggest year yet for Warframe, Digital Extremes touted. Not only did the title receive more than 26 updates and 111 hotfixes over the course of the year, it made its Switch debut with an impressive port last November. The game's registered user base also saw an impressive increase, jumping from 38 million players last March to "nearly" 50 million as of this month.The Profit Taker, the first big content update for Warframe's Fortuna expansion, launched in December 2018. Since then, Digital Extremes has rolled out the Operation: Buried Debts update, which introduced another new Warframe to the game--Hildryn--and made the first "phase" of melee combat changes.Many more updates are in the pipeline for Warframe this year. Digital Extremes is currently at work remastering Plains of Eidolon and Gas City with "gameplay and graphical overhauls that renew both areas." The developer has also announced Railjack and The New World, two new "game-changing" updates on the way in the near future."There's really no other game on the Switch like Warframe," we said of the recent Switch port. "Though it's often been seen as the 'Destiny' before Destiny, it certainly goes out of its ways to offer up options and different adventures for players, all of which give off this unique flavor that makes it stand out online action games. It's one of those games that's gotten better with age, and with the amount of content that's still on the way, Warframe on Switch will likely be a solid gateway for those craving an involved action-RPG to dive into."Info from Gamespot.com

During an entertainment-focused presentation, Apple announced a new game subscription service called Apple Arcade. The monthly subscription rate will give you a selection of roughly 100 exclusive games, with more to be added regularly. But it's one feature the service is lacking that acted as a direct answer to Google.During the presentation, Apple specifically mentioned that Apple Arcade isn't a cloud-based streaming service. And since it isn't streaming, the company emphasized, you can download and play the games offline. This is in very direct contrast to Google's cloud-based Stadia game streaming platform, which the company said can't run offline.Apple Arcade includes game developers like Sega, Konami, Disney, Sumo Digital, and Cartoon Network. Any game included in Arcade will be updated with updates or DLC as part of your subscription cost. You can also pick up your games on other devices, and Apple promises more games will be added "all the time."Among the games confirmed for Arcade so far are Sonic Racing, Lego Brawls, Oceanhorn 2, and a project from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi.Apple Arcade will have its own tab on the App Store when it launches in 150 countries this fall. Apple didn't detail pricing options for the subscription. The company also used the presentation to announce its own TV streaming platform, complete with exclusive original shows.Info from Gamespot.com

Apple has some big updates coming for its TV app, and in the process, it will be incorporating many other existing online video services, as revealed at today's Apple Event.Apple TV Channels puts the majority of the services people subscribe to--except for Netflix--into one place. It's more about organization and a one-stop place to view all the content you are subscribed to. It was unclear at the time of the event as to whether you had to purchase these services through Apple or if you could migrate existing accounts onto TV Channels.Aside from the bigger services like Hulu and Amazon, Apple TV will add smaller services like Acorn TV, for British television; Tastemade, for travel and food series; and Shudder, for horror movies and original series. Additionally, it's interesting to see a few Viacom properties, like Comedy Central, Nick, and MTV here, as much of the parent company's content was pulled from various streaming services, and it wasn't included with Hulu's new live TV service.Here is what Apple announced will be incorporated into TV Channels. The only big service missing here is Netflix.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 released less than two weeks ago on March 15, and the thrilling action-shooter has already earned high praise from us for its fantastic world-building, diverse enemies and combat, smooth multiplayer integration, and plethora of compelling endgame content. Luckily, if you haven't picked up The Division 2 already, its price has already been slashed at Newegg, where you can get a copy for PS4 or Xbox One for just $45 if you use the promo code EMCTWVA35. This offer is valid only through tomorrow, March 26, at 11 PM PT (or Wednesday, March 27, at 2 AM ET). However, the deal may sell out sooner based on availability, so act fast if you're interested.The sequel to 2016's The Division, The Division 2 moves the game's setting from New York City to Washington, D.C. A smallpox epidemic has left the country decimated, and multiple violent factions have risen up to fight for power. You play as an agent from the Strategic Homeland Division fighting to protect civilians and restore order in the nation's capital. The game earned a 9/10 in GameSpot's The Division 2 review for its combat design and detailed, visually stunning world, despite the fact that critic Edmond Tran founds its overarching story a bit lacking."The ravaged environments continue to intrigue, and sometimes they're so stunning I find myself needing to take screenshots before I move on," wrote Tran. "It might not have much to say, but The Division 2 is a perpetual cycle of tension, relief, and reward that's difficult to stay away from."Newegg's limited-time sale also includes some sweet deals on other great games, including Red Dead Redemption 2 for $37.50 on Xbox One and PS4, God of War for $30 on PS4, and Kingdom Hearts III for $45 on PS4.

The Blazing Bull is something of an unintuitive enemy to come upon early in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. After fighting generals, samurai, swordsmen, and spearmen, you're attacked by a huge, thundering bull, whose horns are wrapped in flaming hay. Suddenly, everything you learned about fighting in Sekiro seems to go out the window, and you're forced to dodge this way and that to avoid getting trampled. It's an encounter that feels much more like Dark Souls than the rest of Sekiro.Just because the bull isn't a sword-wielding foe doesn't mean your Sekiro fundamentals don't matter, though. You can, in fact, parry most of the bull's attacks, and you still want to wear down its Posture so you can deal a deathblow. The major difference is dealing with the bull's speed, and finding opportunities to inflict some damage so you can drop its Vitality, and thus get to a deathblow sooner. There's also a key prosthetic than can help in the process that's easy to have missed up until now.Here's what you need to know to take down the Blazing Bull. We've got plenty of other Sekiro guides to help you master From Software's latest title, including a list of must-grab early prosthetics and some tips on where to find additional Snapseeds for fighting Lady Butterfly.Keep To The Flank And Stay CloseThe Blazing Bull hits hard when it lands a blow, but it's bad at cornering and its size means it can't adjust to your movements quickly. Don't dodge backward or sideways, but instead try to move in and under its horns, which are high off the ground. You can also try holding the dodge button to sprint, allowing you to quickly get around the sides of the bull. If you can stick near the Bull's hindquarters--specifically, close to and beside its back legs but not directly behind it--you can wail away on the bull while it struggles to reposition and attack you. Keep moving, but try to stay close to places the bull can't easily reach.Don't Forget To Parry, And Bring Dousing PowderIt's counterintuitive because the Blazing Bull is a giant marauding monster, but Sekiro is a game about parrying enemy attacks, and that hasn't changed just because you're facing an angry, flaming animal. You can still block incoming attacks if you feel like you can't dodge them--in fact, it's essential to keeping yourself alive. Parries will knock down the bull's Posture, same as with anyone else, and give you chances to get into better position or strike back with counter-attacks. It's the fire that's most concerning, since even though you'll be able to block or parry many attacks, you can still take fire damage and get pushed toward the Burning status effect. Dousing Powder can help in case you come aflame. You should still avoid what attacks you can, but generally, if in doubt: block.Be AggressiveThe Blazing Bull is one of those enemies with high Vitality, which means its Posture recharges pretty quickly, even if you go on a parrying tear. You'll need to do some damage in order to get it closer to taking a deathblow, and really, the best way to take it down is with relentless attacks. As mentioned, you should try to get in close to the bull's hindquarters and stay around there, where it has trouble hitting you and which will cause it to spend most of its time attempting to wheel around to get you in front of it again. Nail it a bunch with your sword from this position to knock down its health, which makes its Posture recover more slowly. Eventually you should be able to do enough Posture damage just by wailing away to finish the bull off. Use FirecrackersOne of the most useful Shinobi Prosthetic tools in the game is the Shinobi Firecracker attachment, but it's also an easy one to miss. The Firecrackers stun enemies and are particularly effective on animals, and against the Blazing Bull they make the fight quite a bit easier. Use the Firecrackers on the bull and it'll rear up, allowing you a bunch of chances to slice away at it.You can't find the Firecrackers in the world, though--you have to purchase them from the Memorial Mob, which you can do in two places before you hit the bull. The first is in the Ashina Outskirts section, in the Gate Path area. When you find the house where you can speak to the old woman who gives you the bell, head forward on the path and look to the left, just before crossing under a wooden gateway. You should see a spot where you can grapple upward. From there, look for more chances to go vertical up to the left, which will put you on something of a stone tower. Climb it to the top and you'll find the merchant, where you can purchase the Firecrackers attachment for 500 sen.If you missed that merchant, there's a second chance to buy the Firecrackers right after fighting Gyoubu the Demon. Use the Ashina Castle Gate Sculptor's Idol to warp to the arena where you fought Gyoubu, then head back toward where you first dropped down into the area.

As part of its Show Time event, Apple debuted Apple TV Plus, its own streaming service coming this fall. While the company announced several exclusive series as part of today's presentation, it also teased several more with a list of names, without detailing their projects.Among the names seen on the compilation screen were high-profile directors like Spike Lee and Mr. Night Shyamalan, actors like Bill Murray and Kristen Bell, and even Broadway stars like Leslie Odom Jr. We don't yet know what their projects are, but Apple has rolled out a formidable talent pool for its new venture.It's worth noting that not all of the names signify distinct projects. Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell are all listed separately for their comedy series The Morning Show. Similarly, Kumail Nanjiani and his wife and co-producer Emily Gordon are listed separately for their non-fiction series, Little America. Even Charlie Brown and Snoopy get two billings.One name was held back from the list, as Apple kept it separate for a special announcement at the end of the show. Oprah Winfrey appeared on stage to announce two separate series, a book club, and her own expansive partnership with the company. Another name was obscured by the presenter, and GameSpot has reached out to Apple for clarification.The presentation also detailed an expansion of Apple TV's non-premium service, a subscription-based gaming service called Apple Arcade, an expansion to its News service to include magazines and more newspapers, and a credit card.

Apple unveiled its rumored game subscription service, Apple Arcade, during a big entertainment-focused presentation today. The service will give subscribers access to a selection of new and exclusive games across mobile, desktop, and Apple TV, and it'll include titles from a variety of AAA and indie studios.From the outset, Apple Arcade will feature games from more than 30 developers and publishers. Among the studios partnering with Apple are Sega, Konami, Platinum Games, and an array of acclaimed independent developers, including Mistwalker and Team Sonic Racing developer Sumo Digital. You can see the full list of announced partners below.When it launches, Apple Arcade will offer unlimited access to more than 100 premium App Store games for a monthly fee. Apple says more titles will be added to the service "all the time," and future game updates and DLC will be included at no extra cost. The company also made it a point to note that all of the titles will be playable offline--seemingly a direct jab at Google's Stadia cloud platform, which won't offer offline downloads.Among the games subscribers will be able to play through Apple Arcade are Overland, Sonic Racing, Beyond a Steel Sky, Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm, and Fantasian, a new title from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. Apple Arcade also transfers progress between devices, allowing users to pick up right where they left off in games.Apple Arcade is slated to launch this fall and will be accessible via its own tab in the App Store. No pricing details have been announced yet, but Apple confirmed the service will initially be available in more than 150 countries.
