The next DLC for Grand Theft Auto Online has been announced by Rockstar and it will make it's way to the PlayStation 4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC next week. The new DLC has been named Executives and Other Criminals and in this update players are given the ability to create their own criminal organization.
Although Executives and Other Criminals includes extra modes for player-made criminal organizations, these organizations basically act like a new form of team size clans. Players can create their organizations and then go face to face with other organizations via the new co-op jobs and challenges. Some of the pre-existing Freemode Events will now be altered slightly when a criminal organization takes part in it together. Modes like King of the Castle and Moving Target will change slightly. A new mode named Extraction Adversary has also been added. In this mode, teams of bodyguards must search and locate an executive before a hit squad gets to him first.

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

It should come as no surprise that Halo is one of the biggest selling franchises on the Xbox. Since the release of Halo 5: Guardians on the Xbox One, a lot of people have been wondering exactly how many sales the game has managed to make.
Now that data is slowly coming in about sales around the world, fairly accurate information on Halo 5's week one sales are being announced. According to VGChartz, a website dedicated to reporting video game sales, Halo 5: Guardians managed to sell approximately 1.46 million copies in its first week.
The exact first week number, according to VGChartz is 1,457,849 copies, although this does not include digital sales, so we could be looking at over 2 million copies at least.
For an Xbox One exclusive title, 1.46 million isn't bad at all, but it is quite small in comparison to previous Halo releases. In fact, Halo 5 Guardians sold less copies than almost every other Halo release. Here's a week one sales rundown of the last eight Halo games.

The backwards compatibility feature for the Xbox One has brought a lot of joy to many gamers around the world. A huge library of Xbox 360 games are already compatible with the new feature and more games are constantly being added to the compatibility list.
Some games unfortunately cannot be backwards compatible and in most cases this usually comes down to a developer's decision instead of a choice made by Microsoft.
Take Criterion's Burnout Revenge for example - This title was firstly released as an Xbox original game but it also received a release on the Xbox 360. Despite it being available on the 360, Criterion has spoken out stating that backwards compatibility support for this title was very unlikely.
When asked on Twitter about the possibility of Burnout Revenge's backwards compatibility support, Criterion Games simply stated that there were 'No plans for that right now.'
Whilst Burnout Revenge is being adapted for the Xbox One, Criterion has already confirmed

A brand new update has been released for Destiny and it brings in a couple of new features to the game. Firstly we will finally be getting some new Iron Banner content and secondly a refer a friend program has been added.
With the Iron Banner, the game mode is finally getting added back to Destiny. This time round a few things will be different, including reward loot. Here is an excerpt from the blog by Destiny's senior designer Derek Carrol.
"I'd expect to see a bit less Super ability usage, and a lot more shooting across the board, but good teams will work together and hold territory even without the scoring incentives that Control provided. This will be the first time we've played Clash with power differences enabled, so it will be interesting to see how power affects this most basic of 6v6 gametypes."
As for loot, things will be a lot more rewarding this time round. 20% more reputation is being rewarded for wins and better rewards are being handed out in general
