Apple Store now sells Xbox One controllers

With Apple Arcade’s recent launch and Apple adding gamepad support for its products, it makes sense that the company is now selling Xbox One controller online for $74.95. We can’t say why it fetches a higher price than it does on Microsoft’s online store, where Microsoft charges $64.99 for it. We aren’t sure as well whether we’d see the accessory in-store, but we’ll let you know if it does show up. If you’re not sure how to pair an Xbox One wireless controller with your Apple device, the video above shows you how to do just that.

'Civilization VI' heads to the PS4 and Xbox

The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are the latest consoles to get Civilization VI. Firaxis Games is keeping things fresh and bringing the 2016 civilization-building game to both consoles on November 22nd. Aspyr Media will be handling the port for the PS4 and the Xbox. According to a Sony blog post, the controls and user interface are "optimized for a controller experience." They didn't mention if the game gets a PC-syncing feature for importing saves like on the Nintendo Switch. But the port coming to the PS4 will include free Nubia + Khmer and Indonesia Civ & Scenario packs.

The base game will retail for US$59.99 (around CA$80). Take-Two will offer the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm DLCs as a separate bundle for an extra US$49.99 (around CA$65).

‘Final Fantasy VII Remake’ for the Xbox One gets leaked on Xbox Germany Facebook page

The first part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake is set to come out on the PlayStation 4 on March 3, 2020. It’s by no means limited to the PS4 platform, but Sony’s gaming console gets first dibs. But now, this leak from Xbox Germany’s Facebook page confirms the game is coming to Microsoft’s platform. The post has since been removed. It did suggest, though, that the game was coming out on the same day as PS4, which can’t happen because of the PS4 exclusivity. But we at least know it’s coming as soon as that exclusivity ends.
