Get an Xbox One X on Amazon with your choice of game at a huge discount

By

The Xbox One X is the most powerful game console currently available, and it’s capable of playing several of the biggest AAA games at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. If you’ve been holding off on purchasing the system so far, Amazon currently has a huge deal that will get you not just the console, but a great new game to go along with it.

On Amazon right now, the Xbox One X 1TB console is available for just $350, down from its standard $500 price. It includes either Gears 5, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, or NBA 2K20, all at the same price. You can even get the limited-edition Gears 5 bundle with a special console at the same price if you’re a major fan of the series.

You can’t go wrong with any of the bundled games. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of our favorites from last year, with gameplay that blends elements from series like Uncharted and Dark Souls, along with plenty of fan service for longtime Star Wars enthusiasts. Gears 5, meanwhile, is an excellent entry in the shooter franchise that takes some bold risks, including a psychological horror element and the new cooperative Escape mode.

Alongside the console and game, you’ll also get a free month of Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass, and EA Access. This means you’ll be able to play hundreds of more games for free during your first month, and you can decide which one will be your next obsession after you finish the bundled game. Xbox Game Pass adds new titles on a continuous basis, both from Microsoft’s own library as well as third-party publishers.

When the Xbox Series X launches later this year, you should be able to carry over all your Xbox One games onto it, as well. The console supports full backward compatibility with the current-generation console, and it will also support the same backward compatibility for previous Xbox systems that the Xbox One does today. At launch, it also won’t have any exclusives right away, so new Xbox One X owners won’t be missing out on the latest games.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3
Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.

Every video game delay that has happened in 2023 so far
The player skates toward the moon in Skate Story.

Few things feel as inevitable in the video game industry as delays. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, game delays have only become more and more common as developers find previously set timelines unrealistic and adjust their release plans accordingly. More than halfway through 2023, we've already seen some notable AAA games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Skull & Bones, and Pragmata delayed pretty heavily. Because video game release date delays are so common, it can be tough to keep track of every game that has had its launch date shifted in some way.
That's why, just as we did in 2021 and 2022, Digital Trends is rounding up every game delay that's announced throughout 2023. Here are the high-profile ones that have happened so far, listed chronologically by their new intended release dates.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (March 16)

As Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is one of the best games for PlayStation VR, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Supermassive Games' PlayStation VR2 successor, is a highly anticipated launch title for the upcoming VR headset. Unfortunately, it will no longer make PlayStation VR2's February 22 launch and will instead be released on March 16. On Twitter, a message from Supermassive Games says this delay will ensure that players "receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible" at release. The game was released on that date to mixed reviews.

Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?
Three characters shoot at a boss in Remnant 2.

Aside from the focus on firearms and integrating some randomly generated environments, the Remnant series sets itself apart from other souls-like games mainly with its focus on co-op. Both titles encourage you to team up with two friends to fight your way through the mutated monsters that await. After so many years of progress in terms of multiplatform games incorporating full cross-platform support, you might assume Remnant 2 will follow suit and let you make a group with anyone regardless of what platform they're on. However, the truth may be a bit more disappointing. Before you make plans with your squad, here's what you need to know about Remnant 2's cross-platform support.
Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?

Unfortunately, Remnant 2 does not have cross-platform play between PS5, Xbox Series X or PC -- and there's no word about it being added in the future.
