The Xbox and PlayStation versions of Mojang's sandbox adventure game Minecraft will receive an array of new content as part of a free update deploying this week, including a new character skin that swaps in an alternate protagonist.
One of the most anticipated co-op games of 2015, Evolve, will be releasing on consoles and PC tomorrow, and we couldn't be happier. Despite the extra time needed to get the game running as smoothly as possible, there will be a Day 1 patch coming.
Evolve, one of our most anticipated co-op releases of 2015, just got a little bit sweeter for those who are gaming on a budget. We recently got wind of Turtle Rock Studios announcing that the many different maps to choose from, including the DLC ones, will all be available for free.
