At Microsoft's X018 conference, the company announced the first big expansion for Forza Horizon 4. The DLC is called Fortune Island, and it's set to launch on December 13. It keeps you racing through the UK but takes you to some northern British Isles with particularly craggy mountainsides and dangerous weather like lightning storms. The new setting isn't without its peaceful charms, though, as you'll be able to witness the aurora borealis.Naturally, Fortune Island will come alongside a new set of cars to drive as well. The game has already started rolling out the five custom-built Ford vehicles from the GymkhanaTEN video series. Car Pass members can already grab the 1977 Ford GymkhanaTEN, F-150 Hoonitruck, and the 1993 Ford Escort Cosworth Group A. Later this month they can also get the 1965 Ford Hoonicorn Mustang V2 and the 2017 Ford Fiesta RS, followed by the 2016 Ford GymkhanaTEN Focus RS RX in December.Fortune Island is part of the expansions bundle for $35, which is available for Ultimate Edition owners at no additional cost. If you're a Game Pass subscriber, you've already gotten access to Forza Horizon 4 as part of your subscription, and you can get the expansions as a bundle or individually for 10% off.Setting the expansion in the rocky north should prove a challenge for experienced racers, especially given the game's marquee feature of changing seasons. GameSpot's Forza Horizon 4 review found the seasons had a real impact on gameplay, and contributed to a diversity of race types."Everything you do in Horizon feels valuable, no matter how big or small--from the basic thrills of speeding a fast car down a gorgeous mountain highway to spending time tinkering with your favorite ride to manage seasonal road conditions to just hanging out with friends and strangers online and goofing off in friendly games," said critic Edmond Tran. "The charm of the Horizon series is as palpable as ever, a winning, all-inclusive recipe that celebrates the joy of driving above all else."Info from Gamespot.com

The charm of the Horizon series is as palpable as ever, a winning, all-inclusive recipe that celebrates the joy of driving above all else."In his review of Sea of Thieves, Peter Brown said the open-world pirate game is "a somewhat hollow game that can be fun for a handful of hours when played with friends, and something worth trying out if you happen to be an Xbox Game Pass subscriber."Even though it's hard to wholeheartedly recommend," he added, "I like enough of what I see to hold out hope that things will eventually improve as the game continues to be patched and updated with new content."

Microsoft is set to add another developer to its growing list of first-party studios. At X018, a celebratory Xbox event taking place in Mexico City, Microsoft revealed its intention to acquire inXile Entertainment, the developer of Wasteland 2, Torment: Tides of Numenera, and The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep.The announcement was made by Matt Booty, head of Microsoft Studios and, according to Microsoft, inXile will continue to operate independently, but have the support to pursue its creative ambitions on all existing and new projects. InXile's Brian Fargo said joining Microsoft allows the studio to tap into the "incredible Microsoft ecosystems that is second to none." He said the team intends to carry on making role-playing games.Microsoft has bolstered its development studio portfolio significantly this year. At E3 2018 it revealed five studios had joined the Xbox family. Santa Monica-based The Initiative, which is being headed up by Darrell Gallagher, former head of studio for Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, was said to be building a team of "world class talent" to develop "groundbreaking new game experiences."Xbox boss Phil Spencer also confirmed that State of Decay developer Undead Labs and Forza Horizon studio Playground Games had been acquired by Microsoft. The latter is making a brand-new game, which is rumored to be Fable 4. We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games also was named as a new Microsoft studio, but perhaps the biggest surprise was Ninja Theory, the British developer of Heavenly Sword, DmC: Devil May Cry, and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.As with inXile, Microsoft said these studios will retain "creative independence," and Microsoft's investment in them give these teams the additional resources and backing they need to take "bigger risks" and make "bolder worlds." InXile is currently developing Wasteland 3, which was crowdfunded using Fig. The game is expected to launch in 2019.The addition of these studios comes at a time when Xbox was under scrutiny for its lack of first-party titles for Xbox One. While projects these new studios are developing may not be targeting the platform holder's current platform, at E3 2018 Microsoft confirmed work on new Xbox hardware was underway.

During Microsoft's XO18 livestream, the developers behind Shadow of the Tomb Raider revealed more info about the upcoming DLC for the game. In The Forge, players will be able to take on a number of new challenges and tombs, even allowing for players to work with a friend to solve many complex puzzles.

Like other DLCs from previous Tomb Raider games, these updates add entirely new areas to explore, and along with new enemies and weapons to find. What's interesting about The Forge, however, is that it will add co-op play, with many of the puzzles and tombs tasking both characters to solve many of its complex challenges. Along with story content, there's also the inclusion of the Score Attack mode, which will allow players to compete agains each other by traversing the environment and gaining a higher score over their opponent.As the first post-launch DLC for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, The Forge will be one of several new expansions coming to the game. Though you can play the entire DLC with a friend, you can still play solo as well. With a planned schedule of new content over the next several months, the season pass will allow many players to take part in new events and story missions that will gradually be included in the game. The Forge is set to launch on November 13, this new expansion will add even more tombs and secrets to uncover.There's much more to see from XO18.

November has begun, and that means it's almost time to spend the day gorging yourself on turkey, making sure to avoid the family you're forced to hang out with. What better way to avoid forced conversation than sitting around the television, watching Netflix, together? Netflix has revealed what is coming to its service for the full month of November 2018, as well as what is leaving the subscription service. You can also check out the video above for some recommendations.Kicking off the month, Netflix brought a slew of movies on November 1. If you haven't seen it yet, you'll need to watch From Dusk Till Dawn. The 1996 action/horror film is by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino and follows two criminals on the run who take a family in an RV hostage. They all end up at a strip club in Mexico that's filled with vampires. Also now on the service is Cape Fear, Marvel's Doctor Strange, and Sixteen Candles.If Netflix's originals are more up your alley, then you're in luck, as there are 46 movies and series coming in November. Most notable was the return of House of Cards, for Season 6, which will be its final season. This time around, Kevin Spacey won't be involved after sexual abuse allegations came out against the House of Cards star.

Rockstar Game's newest release, Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 and Xbox One, is a game where you'll want to spend a great deal of time uncovering all of its secrets and details. You can spend 50-plus hours just completing the main story, slowing accumulating wealth and honor. But if you're someone looking for a shortcut--who wants to find a quick path to success while living the life of an outlaw in the last days of the wild west--we've got you covered. Much like the original game and GTA V, Red Dead 2 features an assortment of cheat codes that unlock additional resources, with some injecting odd gimmicks and quirks into your game.To find the Cheats menu, press the pause button and select the Settings option. In this menu, press Triangle or Y (on PS4 and Xbox One, respectively) to pull up the Cheats menu. From here, you'll find a long list of locked cheats. Initially, you won't know what any of these do or how to unlock them. Many of these codes can be activated by putting in the correct phrase, but others will require some extra time and effort.In addition to finding passwords while exploring the world, some of which are written into the ground, throughout the game you'll find newspapers for sale in towns, and some of these offer clues as to how to unlock these extra fun options. More newspapers will become available after completing main missions, which you'll see detailed in news articles. While many of these cheats introduce some mostly benign bits of fun--such as keeping your character, Arthur Morgan, perpetually drunk--activating these codes at any time will have some consequences for your save game. Once you activate these codes, all Trophies and Achievements will be deactivated on this particular file. As a result, before trying any of these codes, be sure to make a separate file for your main save.With over 30 codes to unlock, some of which have some specific requirements, we've collected a list of cheats that we've uncovered thus far. We also have a separate feature discussing some of the most entertaining and best cheats in Red Dead Redemption 2. Be sure to check back with GameSpot as we update this page with new codes, and how to find them.Cheat CodeNameDescriptionHow To UnlockA fool on commandDrunkAlways stay drunk (can be turned off in cheat menu)No requirementsAbundance is the dullest desireInfinite AmmoUnlimited ammunition for all weapons.Unlocked by purchasing the New Hanover Gazette No. 27 in Valentine or the Blackwater Ledger No. 62.

Season 6 of Fortnite rolls on with a new set of challenges to complete on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. Week 7's challenges are now live, giving you another chance to earn Battle Stars and unlock some more Season 6 rewards. That's not all; clearing every mission from a given week will also complete a Hunting Party challenge, which will reward you with a special loading screen that points to a free item hidden around the island.There are 10 Hunting Party challenges this season, and the loading screen you unlock depends on how many sets of weekly challenges you've completed. If you've kept up with all of them thus far, including Week 7's batch, then you'll receive the loading screen pictured below, which features a group of characters charging at the mysterious purple cube that has been the focal point of this season.What's notable about these loading screens is that each one contains a very subtle clue to the location of a free Battle Star or Banner hiding somewhere around the island. Sure enough, if you look closely at the right-hand edge of the screen, you'll see the silhouette of a Battle Star floating above a boat.The boat is located in Leaky Lake, just to the south of the island with the Stonehenge-like monument. Head to that area at the start of the match, and the Battle Star will appear when you approach the boat. Collect it to level your Battle Pass up by one tier, bringing you a step closer to unlocking all of this season's rewards.If you need help finding the Battle Star, we've marked down its location on the map below. You can also watch us collect it in the video above if you'd like to see exactly where it's hiding. However, be aware that the Battle Star won't appear unless you've completed the aforementioned Hunting Party challenge and unlocked the above loading screen; you won't simply be able to go to the right area and collect it if you haven't done all of the required steps.As usual, Week 7's challenges are divided up into two categories: those available for everyone, and those reserved for players who've purchased the Battle Pass. Most of the challenges are fairly straightforward; one asks you to search seven ammo boxes in a single match, while another tasks you with eliminating three opponents in Pleasant Park. The trickiest of the bunch is to skydive through floating rings.If you need help completing any previous challenges from this season, be sure to check out our comprehensive Fortnite Season 6 challenge roundup.

First, you had to log on prior to 1 PM ET on November 5 to unlock the Lil' Kev challenge pack--in other words, if you didn't get in before that deadline, you have no way to obtain these challenges and the accompany back bling. Provided you did get online, doing so provides you with a set of three challenges, which themselves are pretty simple. You'll have until November 11 at 1 PM ET to finish them to earn the back bling. If you didn't qualify, at least you have Week 7 challenges to take on.Unlike Fortnite's weekly challenges, which are usually catered toward some specific seasonal content, these challenges will be naturally obtained if you play some Fortnite over the coming week. You'll get completion simply by playing matches, earning XP, and outliving opponents. You'll need to play a minimum of 15 games to complete all three.If you're still looking to complete this season's Battle Pass and earn your Season 6 rewards, check out our challenges guide. You can tote a new weapon into battle soon, since Epic has been teasing the addition of a new heavy assault rifle to the game that could drop any time. And if you're a Kevin fan that somehow missed the big world event over the weekend, check out our recap. The cube has been busy making all sorts of weirdness happen in the world.ChallengesPlay Matches (0/15) – 500 XPGain 5,000 XP (0/5000) – 500 XPOutlive Opponents (0/500) – 500 XPInfo from Gamespot.com

Update: Following up on Disney's announcement, Loki actor Tom Hiddleston has offered a brief tease with a post on Twitter, where he isn't typically active. It consists of a simple image with a few brief sentences: "Loki. More stories to tell. More mischief to make. More to come." You can see this for yourself below and read on for what few details Disney and Marvel had to share. The original story follows.While major change is afoot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it moves toward Phase 4, those eager for more from certain existing characters are in luck. Disney and Marvel have confirmed plans to create a Disney+ show centered around Loki, with actor Tom Hiddleston set to return to the role.Unfortunately, there were few details shared beyond that basic premise. This confirmation came as part of a broader announcement about Disney+, which is now officially the name of the company's upcoming streaming service.pic.twitter.com/4jl3dAVLqv — Tom Hiddleston (@twhiddleston) November 9, 2018Disney boss Bob Iger shared the news along with the latest earnings report. Disney+ will debut in the United States sometime in late 2019. It's unclear when the Loki show will debut, how many episodes it will consist of, or what the general plot will be. But, hey, it's more Loki with Tom Hiddleston, which seems like good-enough news for now. Alongside this news, Disney confirmed another new Star Wars show.Word on a Loki show was first reported back in September by Variety, when it revealed there were plans for new series focused on MCU characters who had not starred in their own movies. (Scarlet Witch was another name mentioned.) Each show was reported to consist of 6-8 episodes and be made using a sizable budget. More recently, Variety reported that a new show was also on the way that would feature the Winter Soldier and Falcon.It remains to be seen what these shows ultimately look like, but it's clear Disney plans on leveraging its biggest brands to help Disney+ compete with Netflix. In addition to the Loki show, we'll also be seeing a live-action Star Wars series called The Mandalorian coming from Jon Favreau.Info from Gamespot.com

As you may have heard, Black Friday is heading our way. In 2018, Black Friday takes place on November 23, and while that might still be a few weeks away, it's never too early to start planning. If you're in the market for a PS4 console, accessories, or games--whether it's a gift for someone else or a gift for yourself--you likely won't find lower prices at any other time of year.When it comes to PS4 consoles, the best deal announced so far is from Target, Best Buy, and Walmart, all of which get you a PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB and Spider-Man as a pack-in game for $200 (or $199 in Walmart's case). That's a great deal, seeing as the console normally costs around $300 and Spider-Man costs $60. Alternately, you can get PlayStation 4 Slim 500 GB from Sam's Club in a pre-Black Friday sale on November 10 for $229, but you'll need a membership.In terms of accessories, another doorbuster Target will offer is a PlayStation VR bundle that comes with a camera, Move controllers, Creed: Rise to Glory, and Superhot VR, all for $250; that deal is mirrored at Best Buy. Also, both Target, Best Buy, and Kohl's will have DualShock 4 controllers available for $40, while Walmart beats them at $39.On the games side of the equation, there's plenty to save money on. The recent release Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will drop to $40 at Walmart. Another recent one, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, will be available for $30. Both Detroit: Become Human and God of War will be available for $25 each, as will Far Cry 5. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is at its cheapest (so far) at Best Buy, where it'll be $30.We've gathered all of the PlayStation 4 deals announced so far into one place so you can get the best deal on whatever it is you're looking for. We'll keep this article updated as more retailers announce their Black Friday plans, so check back later; for now, the big ads we've gotten are from Target, Best Buy, and Walmart. Depending on exactly what you're looking for, you'll be going to a different store.You can find all of the PS4 Black Friday deals below, but you'll have to wait for November 23 to get the discounts.Console DealsPlayStation 4 Slim 1TB and Spider-Man$199 -- Walmart$200 -- Best Buy$200 -- TargetGame DealsAgony$20 - Best BuyArk: Survival Evolvedno price listed - Best BuyAssassin's Creed Odyssey$30 -- Best Buy$35 -- Target$35 -- WalmartAssassin's Creed Origins$20 -- Best Buy$25 -- Target$25 -- WalmartAssassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection$15 -- Best BuyThe Banner Saga Trilogy Bonus Edition$20 -- Best BuyBatman: Arkham Knight$12 -- WalmartBattlefield 1$12 -- WalmartBattlefield 5$60 -- Best Buy [with steelbook and $10 off select game]BioShock: The Collection$20 -- Best BuyBorderlands: The Handsome Collection$12 -- Walmart$15 -- Best BuyBurnout Paradise Remastered$10 -- Best BuyCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare$12 -- WalmartCall of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies Chronicles Edition$25 -- Best Buy$25 -- WalmartCall of Duty: Black Ops 4$40 -- Walmart$45 -- Best Buy$45 -- TargetCall of Duty: Ghosts$12 -- WalmartCall of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered$15 -- Best Buy$17 -- WalmartCall of Duty: WWII$25 -- Best Buy [Gold Edition]$25 -- Target$25 -- WalmartCarnival Games$25 -- Best BuyConan Exiles$17 -- Walmart$30 -- Best BuyCrash Bandicoot N.
