‘Lego City Undercover’ to be re-released on new platforms

Lego City Undercover will be making its way to more consoles in the “Spring of 2017.” The game, which originally launched as a Wii U exclusive back in March 2013, is going to be re-released on the Nintendo Switch, PC, Microsoft Xbox One, and Sony PlayStation 4. Lego claims the game is both a “re-release” and a “remastered” version but it won’t say yet if it’s a direct port or if there will be improvements to be made. Lego City Undercover is unlike other Lego video games as it is based on an original story where you’re left to play as undercover police officer Chase McCain.

Seagate outs external SSD for the Xbox

Since the Xbox One can’t swap out hard drives, Seagate thought of the next best thing to help gamers out: an external solid-state drive for the console. Coming in a black and green enclosure and bearing the Xbox logo, you won’t mistake it for anything other than an accessory for the Xbox One. The Game Drive for Xbox SSD comes with 512GB capacity that should offer faster install and load performance than the stock 5400rpm hard drive in the Xbox. If having a matching HD for your console is something you want, it’ll set you back US$199.99 (around CA$260).
