🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Users Want Microsoft To Double Down On What Once Made Xbox Different
Big changes have been happening at Xbox over the last couple of months--from Xbox Game Pass price modifications(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-pass-price-games-tiers/1100-6524825/) to an all-caps rebranding(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-is-rebranding-itself-sort-of/1100-6540005/)--and Microsoft's gaming division is now looking to hear directly from its users with the launch of the Xbox Player Voice(https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/fcafaf3d-8949-f111-bec7-0022482aa91b). Essentially a hangout for gamers to voice their thoughts and ideas, the Xbox Player Voice is a Reddit-like forum for comments that users can vote on so that its visibility is boosted. Teams analyze feedback and ideas that could potentially be implemented in the Xbox ecosystem, but Microsoft did stress that not every idea will make the cut. "We want to be clear: this doesn't mean every piece of feedback will turn into a feature or result in a change," Microsoft wrote. "Building across a large, global platform means weighing a lot of inputs. But better visibility helps close the gap between what you tell us and what you see happen next on Xbox."

🎮 Multi-platformDishonored 3 Hopefuls Should Try Thick As Thieves
The immersive sim is a genre that doesn't get enough love, so every time a new one comes around, I'm interested in it simply on the basis of it existing. Of course, beyond that, only the good ones keep me for long. I've put about four hours into Thick As Thieves, the new single-player and co-op stablemate to games like Thief and Dishonored, and while it doesn't yet stand (tip)toe-to-toe with those titans of the genre, it's definitely doing enough right that I'm invested in seeing how it progresses through early access. Thick As Thieves recently made headlines when it was announced that it would no longer be PvPvE, and instead is meant to be played solo or in two-player co-op, cutting out the competitive side of it entirely just weeks before launch. It felt like a late swerve, but I can't say it's created obvious issues. It's a lot of fun in solo, and though I haven't had a chance to play co-op yet, I can see that, assuming it's no technical hurdle, it could be even better in that case. !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1632/16320660/4692186-screenshot2026-05-06112902.png)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1632/16320660/4692186-screenshot2026-05-06112902.png) Thick as Thieves plays very much like the games that inspired it, albeit with some early-access touches, for better or worse. At launch, there are two maps, with more to come later, and you'll drop into each one from a randomized point on its outskirts. You'll need to stick to the shadows, dodge patrolling guards--including ghosts who can phase through walls--evade security cameras, pickpocket keys, and escape with quest items and other loot. It's the sort of game where you'll spend most of your time crouching, and even on the game's base difficulty, there's a strong emphasis on needing to stay quiet and blanketed in darkness. It's a true im-sim so, naturally, you can also flush the toilets.

📱 Mobile, Multi-platformPictonico Is Nintendo’s New Mobile Game That Turns Your Photos Into Silly Minigames
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/19/7e6d7710/pictonicotrailer2.jpg.webp) Nintendo has revealed Pictonico, a new mobile game launching next week. The party game takes existing photos from your phone or tablet and turns them into WarioWare-esque minigames. The reveal trailer shows examples such as turning a portrait into a corn-eating minigame where you move the subject’s mouth to chomp on food, or pulling down crabs pinching someone’s face. “Rediscover old photos of loved ones and see them in a whole new light as they navigate everything from zombie attacks, quirky costume changes, carnival challenges and more,” reads Nintendo’s press release. Pictonico also offers a Score Attack mode, a board-game-style stage-clearing challenge, and even a fortune-telling feature. The game features 80 minigames and is “free-to-start”, Nintendo’s terminology for free-to-play. This means you can download and play Pictonico for free, but a disclaimer notes that "Purchase of a game volume is required for gameplay, but you can play a demo of some minigames for free." According to the game's FAQ,(https://faq.f.nintendo.com/hc/en-us/categories/55690807568409-About-the-App) the "free" version is actually a demo with access to only three games. Players must purchase "game volumes", basically packs that include an unknown number of minigames, to gain full access to content. Nintendo has yet to confirm how much a game volume will cost or how many will be for sale. Pictonico launches on May 28 for iOS and Android, and players can pre-register starting today.
🎮 Multi-platformLog On To Fortnite To Watch 12 Minutes Of The Mandalorian And Grogu
Disney and Fortnite(https://www.gamespot.com/games/fortnite/) are teaming up to promote the upcoming Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu with a new in-game screening area that will allow players to watch the first 12 minutes of the movie. The map is live right now, and you can find the Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island in the Discover section of the lobby. And the good news is there's more to do there than just watch the clip, since the map is a small open world with quests that players can complete. The activities around the map, which is set on the planet Nevarra from the show and movie, are similar to the relatively simple quests of Lego Fortnite Brick Life--think fetch quests and defeating stormtroopers. It's not particularly complex, but there's a lot more content here than you'd probably expect. Fortnite has had many watch party islands in the past, but none have really been quite this robust. This watch party island, made in Unreal Editor for Fortnite, is part of Fortnite's ongoing push for custom Star Wars experiences in Fortnite, like the new modes we tried out at the beginning of May(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-is-adding-new-star-wars-modes-and-one-of-them-feels-like-battlefront/1100-6539713/). In that way, this watch party map serves as a pretty compelling proof of concept for a quest-based open-world map--it's not too tough to imagine somebody being able to use a map like this to tell an interesting story, since the environment on this map already looks like it was ripped straight from a AAA game anyway.
