    Expedition 33 was the most popular third-party game on Game Pass this year, rightly so.

    It’s “Wrapped” season, so it’s fitting that Microsoft shared the top third-party game for Game Pass. It was none other than Sandfall Interactive’s well-paced and overall fantastic Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which had more unique users after 30 days post-launch than others. Y’all have good taste. This is my GOTY.

    The state of Xbox console deals is really something else.

    If you’re looking for a Cyber Monday deal on an Xbox Series X, you may want to lower your expectations. You won’t find one for $399.99 (Black Friday 2024’s price on the disc-less model) anywhere. The best one going right now is at Best Buy, which is including a $100 gift card for anyone seeking to buy the console at its inflated $649.99 price.
