For many, the deciding factor when buying a game is whether they can play it with their friends. There's certainly a lot of fun to be had when diving into a thriving online community, where you can jump into matches against opponents or go on fun quests with allies, and more games have begun to place a larger focus on making online play engaging and fun to invest time in. However, a common hindrance to enjoying these online-centric games can be boiled down to whether or not you're playing on the right platform. Whether it's low player populations, or if your friends are all on a different system, these things can put a divide between periods of frustration and having a good time.In recent years, cross-play has become more common with online games, allowing people to play with or against others on different platforms. The inclusion of cross-platform play has not only given fading games a second chance, but it's also unified online communities, removing the barriers placed by platform ecosystems. Microsoft has been leading the way with cross-play for Windows 10 and Xbox One, while Sony has steadily loosened up its attitudes on cross-play due to the success of games like Fortnite and PUBG.So with that, we've compiled a list of the most interesting and exciting games that offer cross-play between platforms. Games with crossplay can be a great way to keep up with friends on different platforms and stay social during our present times, even while you're engaging in fast-paced fights or having some ridiculous fun in an open world. In addition to cross-play trailblazers games like Rocket League and Hearthstone, we've also included more recent picks such as Borderlands 3, which brought together player bases from Steam and the Epic Games Store. For more on new games that will have cross-play, along with next-gen updates for PS5 and Xbox Series X, be sure to check back with GameSpot.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is all about friendship, but it can be confusing to figure out how exactly to play with your friends. You can't just rely on your Nintendo Switch friends list for everything; New Horizons also has its own friends list, and your Switch friends aren't automatically included. Here's a rundown of what you need to do to start playing with friends and make sure you've added them as friends in New Horizons.The first thing you need to do is wait a day after you've started your game. At that point, your island's airport will be operational, and you can start traveling to friends' islands and accepting visitors to your own. Keep in mind that you need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to play online with others.Friends vs. Best FriendsNew Horizons distinguishes between "friends," meaning your Nintendo Switch friends, and "Best Friends," which are friends you add in-game via the Best Friends List app on your NookPhone. To unlock the Best Friends List app, you have to play online with at least one other person (we detail how below).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has recently released on Switch, and many players are praising the game for its flexible position on gender identity--it never asks you to confirm a gender, and lets you use any hair, make-up, and clothing on any body, which was not the case with previous games in the series. Now, in a new interview with The Washington Post, the game's producer Aya Kyogoku has explained the game's relaxed stance on identifying and restricting gender.Kyogoku says that the decision is "not just about gender," but a wider consideration for how people identify themselves. "Society is shifting to valuing a lot of people’s different identities," Kyogoku says. “We basically wanted to create a game where users didn’t really have to think about gender or if they wanted to think about gender, they’re also able to."Elsewhere in the interview, Kyogoku notes that she does not consider changing the Switch's internal clock to skip time forward "cheating," although the developers advise against it.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Mandalorian season 2 is due in October on Disney Plus, and while it's not filming at the moment due to the outbreak of COVID-19, an exciting new casting decision has been made. Making Star Wars is reporting that Michael Biehn is joining the second season as another bounty hunter who Mando has had past dealings with.Biehn's breakout role was Kyle Reese in 1984's The Terminator, but he's perhaps best known for playing Corporal Hicks in Aliens--both James Cameron films. You might also recognize him as Sgt. Rex "Power" Colt from the excellent Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Biehn's had fewer major on-screen roles lately, but he's the sort of veteran actor who should fit in well with The Mandalorian's casting of older action heroes, like Carl Weathers and Nick Nolte. As Making Star Wars notes, the initial production name for The Mandalorian was Huckleberry, a reference to Tombstone, which also starred Biehn. The report also confirms that Bill Burr, who played Mayfield in the first season, will also return. Reports are also suggesting that Rosario Dawson will join the second season as a fan-favorite character who has only appeared in animated form before, Ahsoka Tano.The Mandalorian is the only live-action Star Wars release scheduled for 2020. The final season of The Clone Wars is currently airing on Disney Plus.Info from Gamespot.com

Tom Cruise is known for doing a lot of his own stunts. He even flew a helicopter in Mission: Impossible: Fallout. For his next movie, Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise wanted to fly an actual F-18 jet, but the Navy said no. "The Navy wouldn't let him fly an F-18," producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Empire magazine (via USA Today). Cruise wasn't totally shut out of flying aircraft, however, as he actually flew a P-51 plane and helicopters for stunt sequences. "He can do just about anything in an airplane," Bruckheimer said.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Steve Carell's Michael Scott character was the foundation of The Office. So when it was confirmed that he would be leaving the show, it was huge news. The show was never the same without him. But why, exactly, did Carell leave the show? New details on this controversial topic have now come to light.Collider reports that interviews in Andy Greene's new book, The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s, seem to suggest that NBC's ambivalence around picking up Carell's contract is the reason. But it's more complicated and nuanced than that. Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Id Software's return to Doom in 2016 was a phenomenal update of the franchise's classic shooter formula. It was fast and intense, full of huge monsters and scorching metal tracks, modernizing the feel of the 1990s original while adding some new-school flourishes. Where Doom 2016 brought the original Doom into the present, Doom Eternal feels like a big step forward in making the franchise something new: It's a master class in demon dismemberment after the introductory course to ripping and tearing of four years ago. Like its predecessor, Doom Eternal makes you feel like a monster-shredding badass--not just because you're the strongest Doom Slayer, but because you're also the smartest.Doom Eternal is all about effectively using the huge amount of murder tools at your disposal. Health, armor, and ammo pickups are at a minimum in Eternal's many combat arenas, and the game instead requires you to earn these by massacring monsters in a variety of different ways. Stagger an enemy and you can tear them apart with a brutal glory kill, which refills your health; douse a demon with the new flamethrower and they'll start to spout armor pickups; or cut them in half with the chainsaw to grab some much-needed ammo.In order to stay alive, you can't just run around blasting madly, expecting to tear through everything in your path; you have to run around blasting rationally to keep yourself at fighting strength. Keeping all your numbers up means continually rotating through your glory, chainsaw, and flamethrower kills while also making sure you're using the right gun for a particular job. Many of the toughest enemies now have weak points that allow you to snipe off their most lethal weapons, and you'll need to assess threats and knock them out quickly.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
