If you were hoping that Baldur’s Gate 3’s arrival on Xbox would herald its inclusion on Game Pass for prospective console and PC players, it looks like you’re out of luck.

Good effort, SOLDIER. The latest UK charts data is in, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has made a pretty solid debut on the Switch 2, coming in at number 4 with all of its sales attributed to Nintendo’s console.

It’s time yet again to mention the festive season, as if you have a Commodore Amiga at hand, we’ve been told by Saberman, that Amiga Cammy has made available an early demo for the work in progress Commodore Amiga game of ‘Deck the Drones’. A fun for all the family platformer, where you must retrieve the…
