'Tell Me Why' is coming out on August 27

The developers behind Life is Strange is set to launch its newest title next month. Dontnod's new game Tell Me Why will officially come out on August 27. Microsoft announced the release date during its July showcase, where it shared game premieres and updates. The developer revealed this narrative-driven title back in November, saying it's for the Xbox One and PC. Like Life is Strange, your choices in the game affect the outcome of the story

Tell Me Why follows a set of twins working through their childhood memories as a shared "supernatural bond" allows them to interact with these memories. The developer plans to release all three episodes simultaneously, unlike what it did with Life is Strange, where the company spaced out releases. You can check out the new trailer of the game above.

'Cyberpunk 2077' PS4 version will be compatible with PS5 at launch

When Cyberpunk 2077 does eventually launch, you don't have to worry about whether it can work on the next-generation PlayStation 5. CD Projekt Red confirmed the PlayStation 4 version of the game will "work on PS5 on launch day." The game developer previously confirmed that the game will support Microsoft's Smart Delivery system, which means the Xbox One version will work on the Xbox Series X from the get-go. CD Projekt Red pushed back the release of this action-adventure role-playing game from September to November 19, saying that it needed to make sure the game works well before launch day.

Those who buy the PS4 or Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk 2077 will get a free upgrade to a version of the game that's optimized for the next-gen consoles, and players can take "full advantage of the next-gen hardware." Unfortunately, CD Projekt Red couldn't confirm whether this upgrade will roll out in the coming year.

Microsoft's Xbox Console Streaming preview is now available globally

Microsoft has been experimenting with streaming Xbox games to Android phones and tablets through a limited beta. Now, all Xbox Insiders in countries that support Xbox One can try it out. But gamers will need to be part of an Update Preview ring, and you'll need an Android device running Marshmallow or higher. You'll also need a Bluetooth Xbox One controller and a speedy home network to make sure the setup can handle streaming.

According to Microsoft's Jonathan Hildebrandt, the company believes "the public preview as an important step in our journey to deliver game streaming to Xbox players around the world." Microsoft is pleased with the feedback given by early-access testers in the US and the UK. Hildebrandt said users can expect performance updates in the future.
