Fallout 76 "Burning Springs" Update Announced / PS5 and Xbox Series Versions 2026
10/24/25 - Bethesda has unveiled the free update "Burning Springs" for Fallout 76 (PS4, Xbox One, PC), which will be released in Europe on 12/02/25. Fallout 76 versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series are also scheduled to be released in early 2026.
In Fallout 76, the "Burning Springs" expansion takes us to a new desert area in post-nuclear Ohio. There, the intelligent super mutant Rust King rules, who rules over Deathclaws and Raiders. In the dusty settlement, you will also meet The Ghoul from the Fallout series, who appears as a gunslinger and commissioner for bounty hunts.
Players earn caps, legendary gear, and rare modifications that empower humans and ghouls alike with successful hunts. Two new public events complement the region: In "Gearing Up" you support the Beastmaster of the Rust King, while "Sinkhole Solutions!" demands the protection of the inhabitants of Highwaytown from mutated creatures.
Im all in for Halo remake, still my favorite Halo. I need to play NG4, will get on that soon. Still getting through SHf for a second time and Silksong.
How does releasing $70+ games across multiple platforms or $30 monthly gaming service compete with TikTok? I walked my dog this morning outside..is going outside competing with MS too?
I don't think they'll leave the console business, but I can certainly see them leaving the console race.
They can keep Xbox hardware as a guide to define the minimum spec for a 'generation', but open it up so it's basically just a plug and play gateway to PC gaming and as a storefront and ecosystem akin to steam and gog, meanwhile releasing their software on every platform.under the sun.
I played a buttload of Hades over the past weekend this weekend. And I may have to face the reality that I'm not going to be able to beat him. I've just about maxed out all the ways I can make my character stronger without actually beating Hades, but I can't seem to get much further than than the beginning of that second battle with him. Might just have to surrender and move on to something else.
I also started streaming Darkest Dungeon and I was shocked at how many people were into watching it. I didn't think the game had that big of an audience, but a lot of people hung around to watch in a lot of time was spent talking about how hard the game is and how few people actually were able to finish it.
This weekend I’ve been playing Ninja Gaiden 4. The gameplay is fantastic. The story and characters have been pretty “meh” so far though. Even by the typical Ninja Gaiden standards. Some pretty cool boss fights.
It's an excellent game. Tough, but aside from that one battle it always felt fair. There's a god mode that's much easier that I may try out somewhere down the road just so I can see the ending.

This is what the texture update to SW OUTLAWS did, but these aren't quite representative of the update.
It's a wholesale improvement that's much better looking than these screens which have been grabbed off a compressed video.
GAF is saying the demo is based on the old build and doesn't feature the improvements.
Im all in for Halo remake, still my favorite Halo. I need to play NG4, will get on that soon. Still getting through SHf for a second time and Silksong.
A new hope wasn't great though.
Mine too. The remake does look great.
The open world and grappling hook make Halo Infinite my personal favorite. I spent more hours with that game than all previous ones combined.
Halo remake looks really good indeed. Definitely looking forward to playing that.
I wonder if the Switch will get some Halo love?
They just don't want to come out and say they are going out of the console business.

So I assume super expensive? So they are going to be the ROG Ally X of the console world? $1000+ ?
Yes,. I fully expect the next Xbox to be a custom PC, manufactured by other companies, with Xbox controller and branding.
So a PC?
This weekend I kept playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and begun a Super Mario Odyssey. Just waiting for Luigi's Mansion to release.
All I played this weekend was Civ 6.

Sounds like Hades is definitely not for me.
