Microsoft has just released its update for the official Xbox app on various platforms including Android and iOS. The new update adds support for “new” consoles (likely the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S) to assist with console activation. You’ll also be able to view and review screenshots and game clips you took on the console in the app.

It is also heavily hinted that Microsoft intends to update the app to support Xbox game streaming, but that is currently not allowed by Apple devices because “reasons”. That was not added in the new update, but we know Microsoft fully intends to eventually make that happen.

You can download the app right now on your device’s respective digital marketplace or just simply update your already downloaded version to add support for the new features.

Let’s be honest, over the past generation the Xbox One has completely changed its interface more times than I could count, and yet the PS4’s interface has more or less stayed the same as when it first hit shelves. That’s why I’m looking so closely at this, Sony’s reveal of the PS5 interface. Take a look!

The PS5 launches on November 12th, 2020.

The upcoming musically focused Kingdom Hearts game, Melody of Memory, interested me a lot when it was first announced a few weeks ago. However, while I was used to playing rhythm games like Rock Band, Guitar Hero and even THEATRHYTHM I was confused as to how this new game would actually be played. That is no longer the case.

Square Enix has just released a free demo featuring a tutorial and four playable songs for Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory. You can download them right now on your platform of choice including the Nintendo Switch, PS4 or Xbox One. If you download the PS4 version of the demo before December 31, you’ll get a free exclusive theme. On the Nintendo Switch, the demo weighs in at around 550MB.
