German website Gamereactor.de recently revealed a rumor that suggested Cyberpunk 2077 may get released in 2016. According to a "source close to the company," CD Projekt Red is currently planning to release their next big RPG title before the end of 2016.
It's assumed that currently Cyberpunk 2077 is only being developed for PC but we'd be surprised if CD Projekt Red doesn't also release console versions of the game, especially considering how successful The Witcher 3 was on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Whilst it would be great to see Cyberpunk 2077 before the end of 2017 I think it's important to remember that CD Projekt Red have considered the game to be the biggest and most ambitious project from the development studio so far. We also know very little about the supposed source of this rumor.
Chances are, CD Projekt Red could be aiming for a late 2016 release for Cyberpunk 2077 but whether they hit their target or not will depend on how smoothly development goes. For

Unfortunately Ubisoft has pushed back the beta for Tom Clancy's The Division and it will no longer be available till some point next year. The exact date for the pushed back beta hasn't been chosen yet but Ubisoft has mentioned that it should be available in "early 2016."
Luckily there is still an option for anybody hoping to try out or at least view some early live gameplay footage for The Division. Despite the beta being pushed back, the invite alpha stage on the Xbox One will still be taking place. The alpha for The Division is set to happen from December 9 until December 12. Sign ups are available for the alpha stage and you'll be placed on a priority list if you pre-order The Division for Xbox One but even then there is no guarantee you'll be given access.
Instead, Ubisoft will be adding players into the alpha on an "as needed" basis. The beta, which will now be taking next year, won't have such strange availability as the alpha does. If you have pre-ordered The Division

A new update for Fallout 4 has been developed and it is on it's way to both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. The new 1.2 patch for Fallout 4 is already available for the PC version of the game so we have a good insight into what the patch consists of.
For the most part, the new update just fixes some bugs and issues with Fallout 4. Whilst the PC version has had a couple of new interface features added to Fallout 4 in update 1.2, these changes won't be available on the console versions.
On top of general bug fixes, the focus of the 1.2 patch has been towards optimization, especially in areas that suffered from poor performance before the 1.2 patch. Below the full fixes that will be available in the 1.2 Fallout 4 patch have been listed.
Fixes
+ General memory and stability improvements
+ Performance improvements inside the Corvega Assembly Plant
+ Optimizations to skinned decal rendering
+ Fixed issue with player becoming stuck in

A lot of gamers complained at the lack of content available for the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. Fortunately the developers are working to help beef up the game a little bit and now a brand new 7.8GB patch has been released that adds new gameplay content.
In the new patch players are given access to some new levels, some new characters and some character campaigns as well. Perhaps the most interesting new content involves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle campaign, alongside the Tyler, the Creator campaign.
On top of the new content, a lot of gameplay tweaks and texture fixes have been applied to Pro Skater 5. Honestly we're just interested in the new content. The patch notes for the added gameplay features can be seen below.
+ Additional levels have been added (Underground, Wild West)
+ Additional character campaigns have been added (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tyler the Creator)
+ Lighting and visuals have been improved for several levels

A huge issue that was present in the Rainbow Six Siege beta was team killing and player griefing. It was too easy for trolls to ruin a game and at the time Ubisoft were doing nothing about it. Fortunately Ubisoft has spoken out to reveal that Rainbow Six Siege will have some features added soon that will stop trolls, team killing and most game-ruining griefing.
When asked on Twitter about trolls, Ubisoft simply mentioned, "Yes. We have a plan in place to handle them. It will not be tolerated at launch!" via their official Twitter account
Unfortunately Ubisoft did not explain exactly what measures would take place at launch but there's likely to be some kind of kick or penalty system for team killers. In other multiplayer games, players are often kicked for team killing. In some competitive titles, such as Counter Strike, repeated griefing behaviour or trolling can lead up to a 7 day ban on all competitive servers.
Hopefully Ubisoft has a system in place that works just

Due to the reception of the Xbox One Elite controller exceeding Microsoft's original plans, the stock for the controller has mostly been wiped out across the globe. Currently Microsoft is working on manufacturing more Xbox One Elite Controllers to meet the unexpected demand, but for now Xbox owners are limited for choices if they'd like to get their hands on a controller.
According to Phil Spencer, Microsoft is working right now to get more stock for the $150 controller that has advanced features. Phil Spencer has taken to Twitter to apologize for it being so hard for gamers to find an Xbox Elite controller.
Unfortunately Xbox can't promise that they'll get more units out in time for Christmas. Phil mentioned that, "Demand has just exceeded our planning. If you find one [Elite controller] and you want it, pick it up, sorry."
One option for those looking to get an Xbox One Elite controller for Christmas is to pick up one of the various Elite console bundles that feature

Now that backwards compatibility has been added to the Xbox One, we have plenty of exciting things to look forward to in the future. Whilst the catalogue of available backwards compatible Xbox 360 games is still quite expansive, Microsoft plans to add more games to the list.
In fact, Microsoft has revealed that they will be unveiling new backwards compatible titles each month. If you've got any Xbox 360 games lying around that aren't yet supported for backwards compatibility, we'd definitely suggest holding onto them.
Phil Spencer revealed on Twitter that the Xbox team will announce new games monthly. It's expected that each month a new updated list will be posted online by somebody working at Xbox, although the exact date for the monthly titles has not yet been decided.
It's great to see that Microsoft will still be putting resources into the new backwards compatibility feature. I personally cannot wait to see what new games are added to the list each month. I have

Obviously the latest game for Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto 5, is still getting love and attention from the development team. With that being said, Rockstar do have plans for the future and if a new rumor is to be true, the next future plan for Rockstar could be Red Dead Redemption 2.
A second Red Dead Redemption has been wanted by fans for a long, long time now and despite Rockstar's reluctance to confirm it, we really doubt Rockstar wouldn't develop a sequel to the original game. We believe a Red Dead Redemption 2 could sell just as well as a new Grand Theft Auto Game.
Okay, maybe not that well, but RDR 2 would definitely be insanely popular. So what's with this new rumor? A Rockstar employee has made his way onto Reddit to mention that Rockstar is working on a sequel to the original Red Dead Redemption.
Well, the Rockstar employee didn't directly announce a Red Dead Redemption 2, but a cryptic comment seemed to suggest it. In the comment, the Rockstar employee replied

Rainbow Six Siege has finally come out of open beta and has launched officially on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. The new Rainbow Six title focuses on online multiplayer gameplay and includes a number of different operators that players can unlock and choose between.
During the betas, the amount of operators and maps available was limited. Now that Rainbow Six Siege has reached full release, we can talk about all of the operators and maps that are available at launch.
It has been revealed the Ubisoft has loaded Rainbow Six Siege with 20 operators and 10 different maps at launch. All of the operators have been seen in previous betas, although this is the first time they've all been

Right now an increasing number of reports from players are coming in that suggests there is a glitch in Star Wars Battlefront that grants players invincibility. So far there doesn't seem to be any clear, reproducible steps to use the invincibility glitch, but it seems to involve a method used to commit suicide in a match.
One possible method to perform this glitch requires a player to spawn a vehicle under another vehicle - this will push the newly spawned vehicle under the ground. In most cases it seems like players are instantly killed when trying to reproduce the glitch but at times players manage to trick the game into thinking they are dead but they are still alive.
In this case, players are able to attack enemies but they can't take damage, essentially making them invincible till the end of the match. DICE has not yet released a statement about the cheat but we doubt they will ban players for using it considering that it is a glitch.
The glitch has been in the
