Towerborne Coming to Xbox With Cross-Play Soon

While Stoic’s looter-brawler action RPG Towerborne is already available in early access on Steam, it’ll soon be time for it to expand to Xbox Series X|S and the Windows Store for PC via Microsoft’s own version of early access, Game Preview.

Specifically, the game will be made available on the new platforms on April 29 with full cross-play and cross-progression with the Steam version.

At the same time, the game will also receive the big Class Mastery update, allowing players to make their Aces unique.

The update will also include a reimagined world map and questline, new Umbra pets (bringing the total number to 11), a new enemy type, new legendary items, and more, as you can read in the official announcement.

Cities: Skylines 2 Gets Anniversary Patch With Plenty of Fixes and More

Cities Skylines 2 Basketball Court

Today Cities: Skylines 2 received its anniversary patch, numbered 1.2.5f1. It includes improvements to one of the issues the game still has, homelessness. It’s been tackled with the following tweaks.

  • Homelessness statistic
  • Homelessness added to Population Info View
  • Homeless households visible and selectable in parks’ Selected Info Panel
  • Improvements to when citizens move out to reduce homelessness

Children will now behave more flexibly and realistically when they become adults, as their parents won’t kick them out of the house right away.

  • Newly adult citizens need a job before moving out.
  • They contribute to the household’s wealth until the household can afford to provide them with starting money, giving them a better chance to start a new life on their own.
  • They check if there are available homes in the city before moving out.
    • If there are not enough homes available in the city, they may choose to move out of the city and become commuters. Commuters can and often will move to the city when housing becomes available.

There’s plenty more in the update, and you can find the patch notes on the official forums.

Age of Empires 4 DLC Knights of Cross and Rose Revealed

It’ll release for PC and Xbox on April 8, and it’ll be priced at $14.99, with a pre-order discount at $12.74.
