!Microsoft Gaming Xbox Series X/S CEO Asha Sharma Layoffs(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/11/b14c2ec5/Xbox%20New%20Logo.jpg.webp) Update, 7/27/26, 7:24 p.m.: After suffering an outage that began late yesterday evening, several Xbox online services have been restored according to the Xbox Status page(https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status). The original story continues below... Original Story, 7/27/26, 3:03 p.m.: Xbox is currently suffering a major service outage, days after PlayStation was hit with a similar issue(https://gameinformer.com/psa/2026/07/24/update-the-majority-of-playstation-network-services-are-back-online). Services such as booting up digital games, logging into your account, and browsing the Xbox Store are said to be affected. The service was first reported last night, July 26, at 11:10 p.m. ET. As of publishing, Xbox is still working to resolve these problems, according to the Xbox status page(https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status), which was last updated at 2:48 p.m. ET. Four features are affected across Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and backwards compatibility. We've listed them below along with the official descriptions of their issues. Account & Profile: You may not be able to sign-in to your Xbox profile, may be disconnected while signed in, or have other related problems. Features that require sign-in like most games, apps and social activity won't be available. Store & Subscriptions: You might not see a game you're looking for in the Store right now. Games & Gaming: You may have problems playing your digital games right now. Apps & Mobile: You may have problems launching apps. These outages may not affect every person –or every game, for that matter – equally; to test the outage for this story, I logged into my Xbox account on my Series X and booted up several games, both owned and downloaded from Game Pass, without problem. Still, this situation is worth keeping an eye on if you’re planning to jump into your Xbox over the next couple of hours.

Throwing yourself into raids or battling high-level enemies isn't the way to go, though. In this guide, we'll explain the best way to farm XP in Palworld and break down how it works.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformStalker 2’s First Major Expansion Arrives Very Soon
Stalker 2 has been out for nearly two years, and if you've been itching to jump back into the post-apocalyptic hellscape, you'll have a great reason to do so. The game's first expansion, Stalker 2: Cost of Hope, releases in just a few weeks across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Cost of Hope puts you back in control of Stalker 2 protagonist Skif, with the character following a "mysterious PDA signal" as the dangerous Zone's Duty and Freedom factions come into conflict. GSC Game World promises "dozens of hours of content" along with new allies and enemies, weapons, and locations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5BwA-OUyNY The expansion will launch alongside the base game's Update 2.0, which will include "a new version of Unreal Engine 5" alongside "a variety of new content and improvements." Unlike the expansion itself, this update will be free. Stalker 2: Cost of Hope arrives on August 20. You can watch the release-date trailer above. The game originally launched on PC before coming to Xbox Series X|S and later to PS5. In our Stalker 2 review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl-review-in-the-zone/1900-6418320/), Richard Wakeling said, "It doesn't reinvent the wheel, and at times it feels like you're playing a game straight out of 2010, but that's part of the charm and feeds into what makes Stalker 2 the quintessential Stalker experience."
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformGod Of War Laufey Releases In February
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/02/0ee3d88b/god-of-war-laufey-2.jpg.webp) On Friday, Sony Santa Monica Studios revealed that the upcoming God of War Laufey is coming sooner than expected. The game arrives February 16, 2027. > 2.16.27 pic.twitter.com/RQZov8MqGx(https://t.co/RQZov8MqGx) > > — Santa Monica Studio – God of War Laufey (@SonySantaMonica) July 25, 2026(https://x.com/SonySantaMonica/status/2080831512820519253?refsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) God of War Laufey was revealed during PlayStation's Summer State of Play event, where Santa Monica Studios shared roughly 23 minutes of the game(https://www.gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/06/02/god-of-war-laufey-stars-kratos-wife-fighting-through-the-afterlife-of-the). The adventure follows Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother, Laufey (or Faye), after her death and arrival in the afterlife of the gods, known as the Everywhen, according to Laufey's talking gelatinous cube and sword ribbon partners. The concept is novel for God of War and seems to take place during the events of God of War (2018), but considering the world is called the Everywhen, it's hard to say exactly when the game takes place on the God of War timeline. God of War Laufey releases February 16, 2027, on PlayStation 5.
