🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformThis Cozy Party Game Was Just Announced And We're Already Obsessed
If you've been looking for a way to merge your love of cozy games with the chaotic fun of your favorite party games, you might want to keep an eye on the upcoming free-to-play multiplayer game Totopia(https://store.steampowered.com/app/3897280/ProjectATOM/). Announced as part of Microsoft's ID@Xbox Showcase, Totopia is a free-to-play social game that allows players to customize their own character, befriend adorable creatures, and partake in Fall Guys-esque party games with other players--and all of this can be done regardless of what console or platform you're playing on, thanks to the game's focus on cross-play compatibility. Though the studio has yet to announce Totopia's full party game line-up, it has revealed that these events will take place on one of over 100 maps and include modes like Adventure Chess and Extreme Arena. However, party games are only half of what Totopia promises. Outside of these events, players will also get the chance to visit Pulse Avenue, their own slice of paradise that they can help shape through placing down roads and constructing new buildings. Players will also be able to garden, fish, and work at a cafe to their hearts content. According the the game's developer, JNG Studio, Totopia is all about "the chill vibes."

🎮 Multi-platformYou Can Probably Guess Shohei Ohtani's Favorite Pokemon
MLB players today are Generation Z and Millennials, meaning they grew up as Pokemon took over the world. As such, many of them have their personal favorite Pokemon, and some of the game's biggest stars were asked by MLB to share. As you can expect, one Pokemon in particular got a lot of love, including from perennial MVP candidate Shohei Ohtani. Gen-1 Pokemon got most of the love, with both Mike Trout and Tarik Skubal naming Charizard as their favorite. Pete Alonso, who's a big, strong guy(https://www.youtube.com/shorts/J1nR7YIHEWc), chose the similarly large Blastoise as his favorite. Starting pitcher Hunter Brown picked Snorlax, which is fitting for someone who only plays once every five days, while Jordan Walker--who is having something of a breakout season--has the inspired pick of Dialga.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox CEO: We Will Consider Changes To Exclusivity
The new top boss at Xbox, Asha Sharma, continues to shake things up at the gaming giant. During a town hall meeting with staff today, she informed workers that the "Microsoft Gaming" moniker is going away. In the future, Microsoft will return to calling its gaming division "Xbox." Sharma also laid out her vision for the future of Xbox, and that includes potentially making changes to exclusivity. "Xbox needs to be our identity," Sharma said. Microsoft shared a memo from Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty on the company's blog(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/04/23/we-are-xbox/). The Verge(https://www.theverge.com/report/917485/microsoft-return-of-xbox-no-more-microsoft-gaming?viewtoken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6IlF6b3Z0NDluUk4iLCJwIjoiL3JlcG9ydC85MTc0ODUvbWljcm9zb2Z0LXJldHVybi1vZi14Ym94LW5vLW1vcmUtbWljcm9zb2Z0LWdhbWluZyIsImV4cCI6MTc3NzM5Njg0NiwiaWF0IjoxNzc2OTY0ODQ2fQ.w231EBsAoj8dMi5cjOCzSC3zRF7JbJ19hTRnI3NVyk&utmmedium=gift-link) was first to report on this. !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scalesuper/1179/11799911/4687050-screenshot2026-04-23at3.11.59%E2%80%AFpm.png)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1179/11799911/4687050-screenshot2026-04-23at3.11.59%E2%80%AFpm.png) "Our best work happens when the full stack moves together.

🎮 Multi-platformAssassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced PC Requirements Revealed - Check If Your Rig Is Seaworthy
After what feels like years of leaks, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced(https://www.gamespot.com/games/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced/) has been officially revealed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-livestream-start-time-how-to-watch-and-what-to-expect/1100-6539570/) alongside the PC requirements for the game. Ubisoft's showcase for the remake of the cult-classic Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag showed off plenty of details on the game, which will be sailing onto PC and consoles on July 9. If you're aiming to hoist the Jolly Roger of the Jackdaw once again, then you can read below to see if your PC is ready to sail the remake seas. Obviously, the PC that you used to first play Assassin's Creed 4 isn't going to be quite up to the task of running the remake. That being said, the requirements to play the game across a wide selection of graphical presets are fairly forgiving, so if your PC has a decent GPU, a mercifully small amount of RAM, and 65GB of storage capacity, you'll be good to go for some 1080p and 2K gaming. Going for the 4K 60fps option, however, will require you to have a PC equipped with high-end hardware, like an Nvidia 4090 GPU with 24GB of Video Ram.
