| Interactive Thriller Twelve Minutes is Available Today with Xbox Game Pass Posted: 19 Aug 2021 09:00 AM PDT Summary
My name is Luis Antonio, I'm the creator of Twelve Minutes and for the past several years I've been working with Annapurna Interactive to share this story with you that has been kicking around in my head for a while. You might've heard this before, but Twelve Minutes is an interactive thriller about a man trapped in a time loop.  You take the role of the husband, on what should be a romantic evening with your wife. This night turns into a nightmare when a police detective breaks into your home, accuses your wife of murder, and beats you to death. Only for you to find yourself immediately returned to the exact moment you opened the front door, stuck in a 12-minute time loop, doomed to relive the same terror again and again…  Unless you can find a way to use the knowledge of what's coming to change the outcome and break the loop. The whole experience happens inside an apartment and features the voice talent of James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe, whose work really helped to bring this story to life.  Inspired by classic point-and-click games, Twelve Minutes is a game about knowledge, how we accumulate it, and how we can apply it to change an outcome or solve a puzzle. Whether it's by listening, reacting, making mistakes, or failing, valuable knowledge will always be obtained that can help you progress through the narrative. Sometimes, doing nothing is as valid as doing something. Twelve Minutes launches today on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and with Xbox Game Pass, and I hope you enjoy the experience.  Twelve MinutesAnnapurna Interactive $24.99 PC Game Pass Xbox Game Pass TWELVE MINUTES is a real-time top-down interactive thriller with an accessible click and drag interface.

TWELVE MINUTES blends the dream-like tension of THE SHINING with the claustrophobia of REAR WINDOW and the fragmented structure of MEMENTO. ’90s Arcade-Inspired Beat ’em up Mayhem Brawler Launches August 19 10 Minutes with the Creator of Twelve Minutes Greak: Memories of Azur Available Now for Xbox Series X|S  |
| Catching Frostbite with NHL 22 Posted: 19 Aug 2021 08:30 AM PDT Summary
Hockey is (almost) back! After two shortened seasons, it's looking like the league will be returning to its regular start time this October, giving us a full season of glorious NHL action along with the exciting debut of the Seattle Kraken. Hot on the heels with the start of the season will be the newest entry in the acclaimed EA Sports series with NHL 22, bringing with it a new Frostbite-powered engine. We recently got our first look at these exciting features, like the debut of Superstar X-Factors and the return of one of the game's premiere stars on its cover, but it's the next-gen treatment we're really excited for. The Move to Frostbite As a long-time fan of the series, it was grueling to have to see the other EA Sports titles get the Frostbite engine upgrade for next-gen. Now that time is finally here, I think we're all in for a real treat. Features like differed lighting, rebuilt (and relit) stadiums, and improved shadows and reflections make NHL 22 look that much closer to real-life hockey than ever before. Oh, and the ice looks slick as heck, with reflecting light sources giving it that smooth glossy look instead of a cloudy layer of ice. I'm looking forward to seeing how it transforms throughout the course of the game, from a freshly Zamboni-polished coat to the chipped and skate-worn ice at the end of each period. Also, the player models look significantly improved, with skin and eye shading and dynamic lighting ensuring appropriate depth for all characters. This goes all the way through to the stiches on player uniforms along with appropriate cloth movement that will make this look even closer to a true-to-life NHL game. I can't wait. There will also be the debut of a new in-game presentation featuring AR-like affects that give up-to-date stats on the ice throughout the course of the game.  And while many of these features will shine through on Xbox Series X|S, the new Frostbite engine is being applied to the Xbox One version of NHL 22 as well, so players on both generations of consoles will enjoy this new gameplay engine. Playing with Superstars One of the big new features for NHL 22 this season will be Superstar X-Factors. This new gameplay mechanic will elevate NHL superstars and put a greater emphasis upon their on-ice abilities. Traits like Shock & Awe, which gives a power exception and accuracy to shooting shortly after you perform a deke. Or Tape to Tape, which gives greater power and accuracy to passes.  Superstar X-Factors are not just limited to shooters. Goalies can have these abilities as well, giving such benefits as exceptional save range or quick recovery as a few examples. These "superhero" abilities are limited to the top 100 players in the game, and while this sounds intriguing, we'll have to wait and see how this all translates to the moment-to-moment gameplay the series has been known for. Matthews Part Deux Despite a disastrous first-round exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season at the hands of the Montreal Canadians, the Toronto Maple Leafs are still considered one of the premiere NHL teams coming into the year. That's thanks in large part to the talents of Auston Matthews. As one of the league's biggest stars, it's no surprise he gets another crack at cover athlete stardom in NHL 22.  While we don't (necessarily) adhere to superstitions, the last time Matthews appeared on the cover it was for NHL 20. That season, the Maples Leafs were handed an unexpected exit in the first round by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Of course, they've been bounced in the first round for five straight years, even without Matthews on the cover, so our logic here is suspect. Still, will this season be any different for Matthews and the Leafs? Can he end Toronto's nearly six-decade long Stanley Cup drought? We'll have to wait and see how the season unfolds. But thanks to NHL 22, Leafs fans, along with other tormented fan bases like the San Jose Sharks (from personal experience) and Vancouver Canucks, can live out their fantasies through the game's expansive Franchise, Be a Pro, and Playoff modes, letting us hoist Lord Stanley's Cup over our virtual heads.  All kidding aside, we're extremely excited for both the upcoming NHL season (bring on the Kraken!) and NHL 22. Look to hit the ice with NHL 22 on October 15 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. EA Play members – If you're interested in getting some time on the ice before you buy, don't forget your 10-hour trial before the game launches! Then, use your membership discount to get up to 10% off your pre-order of NHL 22! We'll have more to share about additional NHL 22 gameplay features in the weeks leading up to its October 15 launch.

| Plug in and Game on with the New Xbox Stereo Headset Posted: 19 Aug 2021 06:00 AM PDT I think we can all agree audio is fundamental to our gaming experiences. Personally, I cannot get my game on without my favorite gaming headset! At Xbox, we have made some big strides over the last year to offer you some of the best gaming headsets out there. From our Xbox Wireless Headset to our partnership with the legendary audio makers at Bang & Olufsen and the many other headsets we offer through our Designed for Xbox program, we are confident you'll find the headset to meet your gaming needs. Today, you can add one more option to the list. We are pleased to announce our Xbox Stereo Headset, available for pre-order today. With the new Xbox Stereo Headset, we are bringing everything you expect from Xbox products like performance, stand-out features, quality, and accessibility to deliver immersive experiences across console, PC, and mobile devices. We also wanted to bring you more value to the entry-level headset category, including clear microphone performance, high-quality ear cushions, and a volume control dial on the right earcup. The Xbox Stereo Headset features many of the design elements found the Xbox Wireless Headset. The flexible, lightweight design with an adjustable headband utilizes plush cushioning to spread pressure more evenly around the top of the head. Ultra-soft large earcups will keep you comfy during those "extended" play sessions, and easily accessible on-ear controls for volume and mute will make this a staple in your gaming arsenal. Connect directly to the Xbox Wireless Controller or other devices through the 3.5mm audio jack, no batteries required.  To generate the best possible experience across gaming, team chat, music, and movies, the team tuned the headset to replicate the intended audio recording source that the creators wanted you to experience. The result of this is hearing the audio as close as possible to how it was recorded, by ensuring clean mid & high frequency performance with strong bass. And to take your audio one step further, the Xbox Stereo Headset supports high-fidelity spatial sound technologies including Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X (may require additional purchases or app downloads).  As someone who owns and uses three different headsets for gaming, let me share how this became one of my daily drivers and why you'll love it too:
The Xbox Stereo Headset is available for pre-order today from Microsoft Store and other select retailers for $59.99 USD worldwide. Check xbox.com for more information.
