Here’s the full lineup of new video games coming to the Xbox One between September 17-21,2018.
The pick of this week’s Xbox One games is a side-scrolling stroll down memory lane in the Capcom Beat ‘Em Up Bundle .
Comprised of seven classic arcade fighting games – Armored Warriors, Battle Circuit, Captain Commando, Final Fight, The King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, and Warriors of Fate – the package includes drop in/out online co-op, and a collection of archive design materials.
Also worth a look is Hover, the open world parkour game from Midgar Studio & Fusty Game. The game channels Sunset Overdrive and Jet Set Radio to great effect, and has already been a success on Steam.
Finally, Transference, the new psychological adventure game from Ubisoft Montreal, SpectreVision, and Elijah Wood, comes to the Xbox One on Tuesday.
All of this week’s releases are available directly from the Xbox digital games store, or via the Microsoft web store. Here’s the full release lineup.

Two classic Nintendo games get discounts in the latest batch of My Nintendo rewards.

Two classic Nintendo games get discounts in the latest batch of My Nintendo rewards.
There’s a new selection of game discounts now available for My Nintendo account holders in Europe, and a brand new theme to download for the Nintendo 3DS.
Classic Nintendo 64 launch game Super Mario 64 gets a 30% discount on the Wii U Virtual Console in exchange for 100 Platinum Points. Mario’s first 3D outing needs little introduction, and even if you’ve long moved over the Nintendo Switch it’s well worth dusting off the old GamePad to experience.
120 Gold Points will also get you a 30% price cut on Metroid Samus Returns, the lovingly crafted – and rather underrated – remake of Metroid II from MercurySteam.
Samus Aran is also the subject of a 3DS theme that is available for 20 Gold Points.
Here’s the full list of new My Nintendo rewards for Europe, along with a reminder of this month’s rewards for North America.
If you would rather spend your earnings on the Nintendo Switch, don’t forget that Gold Points can now be redeemed against any Switch game available on the Nintendo eShop.

The Call of Duty battle royale beta is here for a good time, not a long time. Here are the Blackout system requirements.
The premise for Blackout – Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII’s very own battle royale mode – is pretty simple: what if PUBG, but with buttery smooth Call of Duty gameplay?
It’s a fair question. While Team Thumbsticks is still firmly of the belief that PUBG is the best battle royale game, it’s hard to argue that a bit more polish wouldn’t go amiss. To be fair to PUBG Corp. they are working on their ‘fix PUBG ‘ campaign as we speak, but in a crowded market, competitors need a USP.
In Fortnite’s case, that was to make it child-friendly, which is all sorts of unsettling when you think about it. For others, it’s to co-opt other elements, like Overwatch -style classes or magical spells, or in the case of Radical Heights, to make it straight-up terrible in the pursuit of the 80s nostalgia zeitgiest.
For the other big players in the first-person shooter market, Activision and EA, that’s to lean into their strengths. For Battlefield’s upcoming Firestorm mode, that’s vehicular nonsense and beautiful graphics (with a 64-player limit; we love a bit of good programmer logic) and for Call of Duty’s Blackout? That means slick movement and very, very rapid gunplay.
But just what PC will you need to get in on the Call of Duty: Blackout beta?
And to be honest, it runs just fine on the GTX 1050 Ti-equipped laptop we have in for review at the moment, so the requirements seem as reasonable as they appear. Worth noting that these aren’t officially the system requirements for the final Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII release, but they’ll serve as a decent guide.
You can begin pre-loading the Blackout beta now via the battle.net launcher, with the wider beta kicking off at 10am PT today, September 15th (that’s 6pm BST) and running through until 10am PT (6pm BST) on September 17th.
We’ve already tried it – and we’ll have some thoughts in due course – and will probably be dipping in again over the weekend, so we’ll see you on the battlegrounds battlefield blackout… place?
