Microsoft showed off more of the Xbox One X this week at Gamescom, but they also sat down with many of the developers that are working on games for the Xbox One console.

The Escapists 2 got an early release on the PC and is available to play now. The PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One versions will be out tomorrow, and the Switch version is still TBA. That's not all. Mouldy Toof Studios figured they'd toss one last challenge everyone's way. Sure, you can escape from an ordinary prison, maybe even a prison in space, but can you rise to the levels of Nic Cage and escape from an airplane?!
Some good news for all the Minecraft: Wii U Edition players out there.

I love video games. I love what people are doing with video games these days. Take, for example, GUTS Department's Aegis Defenders.

In keeping with the road map they laid out earlier this year, the first piece of new DLC (Operation Blood Orchid) since February will be dropping for Rainbow 6 Siege soon. For all you Terrorist Hunt fans out there (and pretty much everyone else, too), two new Operators from the Hong Kong Special Duties Unit (S.D.U.) along with an Operator from Poland's GROM will be available to play along with a new map, a creepy abandoned amusement park.
You can run, you can drive, and you can fly, but you'll never escape your inevitable obsession with Rocket League. It could span years, or it could only last a few days, but at some point in your life, you'll have an unexplainable desire to get better at car soccer. It's going to happen, so you may as well get it over with now.
Remember back in 2014 when a quirky little driving/simulation game called Spintires made its debut and everyone was on the "mud and winch" craze? Well, guess what? There's an enhanced edition, Spintires: MudRunner, coming out this October for PC and consoles.
We're a little over a week away from the start of the big fall release season, and one of the co-op titles you can enjoy starting on August 29 is Absolver, an "online multiplayer combat game" where players can create their own combat style. Though it's core is a 1v1 fighting game, there are some interesting co-op features, which the devs have recently talked about in some greater detail on the PlayStation Blog.
Microsoft is delaying the release of Crackdown 3 on the Xbox One and PC from Nov. 7, 2017 to spring 2018, the company told Polygon in an official email.
