How Did the Most Hyped Video Game in Years Turn Out to Be a Buggy Disaster?

Slate

Cyberpunk 2077 looked for years like it would be an instant classic. A neo-noir role-playing game with laser-sharp graphics and a gritty dystopian setting, Cyberpunk debuted its first trailer in 2013 and quickly became one of the most anticipated video games ever. Polygon called it "visceral, claustrophobic and beautiful." Players couldn't wait to tailor their characters with cybernetic enhancements, join factions to fight evil megacorporations, and explore Night City, the game's vast, mysterious setting. Last week, Cyberpunk 2077 finally came out. But players found it riddled with disruptive, often catastrophic glitches.


Microsoft will kill off Minecraft on older consoles

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Mojang, the developer behind popular video game Minecraft, has announced that after the upcoming'Update Aquatic' release, the game will not update on older consoles. Players on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PS Vita and Wii U will all receive the latest update shortly after the initial launch hits newer systems. But this will be the last new update that is compatible with these platforms. 'This will mark the last big effort to keep those editions up to date with our newer versions of the game,' Mojang said in a post on their website. 'Although we'd love to keep bringing new content to all our players forever, the older generation of consoles now make up less than 5 percent of our active players' 'So we've made the difficult decision to focus our efforts to support players where they play Minecraft the most and where we plan to add new features,' they added.

If you love playing Minecraft on the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U or PS Vita, the game's developers have some bad news for you. The next update, called "Update Aquatic," will be the last that is compatible with these platforms. Only about 5 percent of active players use Minecraft on these older consoles, and the team has chosen to put its resources where the majority of people who play the game are. The PS4 will continue to receive updates, as will mobile and Windows 10 versions. The Xbox One and Switch versions of the older game will not receive the Update Aquatic because users can upgrade to the newer version.
