State Of Decay 3 Dev Explains Why It's Been So Long Since The First 2020 Xbox Trailer

"The game was in a Word document".When State of Decay 3 randomly returned at the end of last week with the announcement of upcoming Alpha Playtests, it took us by surprise — mainly because we haven't heard a whole lot about the game in recent years.In fact, it will have been six years this June since State of Decay 3 was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase 2020, and if you're wondering why it's been so long, it's (at least partly) because the first trailer essentially had no game or team attach

Hands On: Car Dealer Simulator Has Something For Every Sim Fan On Xbox

A simulator extravaganza.Simulators are becoming much more popular on Xbox these days, and that's leading to floods of them arriving on Series X|S as of late. Some sims are as addictive as all-hell, and while often laden with some of that endearing 'jank', they're typically quite approachable too. Well, this past week or so I've been playing Car Dealer Simulator on Xbox - and its varied systems and mechanics are starting to sink their teeth into me.

Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown Review

Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown is a thoughtful and ambitious take on the franchise. Its strengths lie in its narrative, its management systems and its willingness to let players shape their own story. However, uneven combat, technical issues and a reliance on RNG prevent it from fully realising its potential. The post Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown Review appeared first on TheXboxHub.

Feature: With 2025's GOTY Now In The Library, Xbox Game Pass Premium Is Becoming Too Good To Ignore

A serious value for Xbox players.When Xbox Game Pass Premium was first introduced back in October, we didn't know how the service would hold up long-term. Yes, at the time we declared it a great value (largely thanks to Microsoft's new commitment to put its own games in the library within a year), but we still weren't sure how the tier would sit within Microsoft's new XGP lineup. Well, six months in and Xbox Game Pass Premium has surpassed our expectations so far, and some of this month's additi
