CD PROJEKT RED announces that its open-world role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 will join Xbox Game Pass Premium and Ultimate on March 10.

Starting March 10, players can enter the dark future with Cyberpunk 2077 and take on the role of Night City mercenary V — a fully customizable character enhanced with cybernetic implants. Players will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime heist to steal an experimental prototype known as the “Relic” — and watch the trajectory of V’s life change when things don’t go as planned.

What follows is a narratively-rich open-world experience where every decision matters, as players’ choices affect how the story unfolds. Robust perk trees, futuristic cyberware, and a range of powerful weapons — from thermal katanas to talking guns — are all at players’ disposal to build their ultimate playstyle and define their legend.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Series X|S comes with every update released for the game since launch, which brought myriad technical improvements, new features, and additional content such as quests, vehicles, and character customization options. Players on Xbox Series X can also play Cyberpunk 2077 at 60 frames per second in Performance Mode or with 4K Ultra HD visuals in Quality Mode.

Fallout 76: The Backwoods is now available for free for all Fallout 76 players. This update brings a plethora of updates to public events and the chance to face Appalachia’s new four-star Cryptid: Bigfoot. The region’s most elusive giant finally stops lurking and starts swinging.

With The Backwoods update, players can participate in a number of Public Events for the chance to lure the tree-wielding, tick-throwing Bigfoot from the woods. Bringing Bigfoot down within five minutes will grant players a four-star legendary reward or the challenge-exclusive ‘Thrill Seekers’ mod. Players are very unlikely to run into Bigfoot in the open world as he is drawn to the sounds of the frenzied action in Public Events, so they should join as many possible to see if the flighty fiend takes direct action against the noise pollution.

This update overhauls Public Events and Activities across Fallout 76 with rebalanced enemies, richer rewards, and dangerous three-star Uninvited Guests that may make appearance at the close of various Public Events. The Backwoods also brings enemy level scaling and quality-of-life improvements, including new vanity lights for Photo Mode, updated Pip-boy UI, and more. Find further details here.

Fallout 76’s Season 24: Rip Daring and the Cryptids Beyond the Cosmos also kicks off today. Players can hunt extraterrestrial creatures, the Zetans, to unlock trophies and other season exclusive rewards — read additional details here.

Fallout 76: The Backwoods is available on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 and 4. Fallout 76 is also available on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra.

Today, Swedish indie publisher Raw Fury and developer Christoffer Bodegård launched their fantasy CRPG, Esoteric Ebb, for PC. Players are now able to step into Esoteric Ebb’s isometric, Disco-inspired TTRPG-turned-CRPG gameplay, which features deep, branching dialogue and staggering player choice, in a richly imagined Arcanepunk fantasy world.

In Esoteric Ebb, the player is the Cleric, one of many menial laborers of the city of Norvik. Tasked to solve the mystery of an exploded Tea Shop, players will roll dice against the voices in their head, explore a fantasy city on the brink of its first-ever election, and strive to become a hero of legends. Or completely ruin the campaign.

Key features in Esoteric Ebb include:

  • Make choices that may come back to bite – Complete open-ended quests, low and high-stakes alike, set in the streets, towers, and dark tunnels of Norvik. Become the city’s savior or its demise.
  • Roll the dice – Roll to wrestle dwarves, steal anything in sight, or keep from looking like a complete fool. But remember, in true TTRPG fashion, failure can often be way more interesting.
  • Warp reality to your whim – Use The Cleric’s innate magical power for unique narrative choices. Control minds for fun and profit. Detect secrets in the tunnels below or within the minds of enemies.
  • Master turn-based combat sequences – Clerics in Norvik are taught to use violence as a last resort. When the need does arise, a roll of the dice determines success or failure ala the best tabletop RPGs.
  • Progress through the story to complete the Questing Tree – A quest log, skill tree, and mind map all at once. Each Quest Branch can take root in your mind and alter the Cleric’s playstyle through game-changing feats.

Esoteric Ebb is now available for PC. To keep up with the game, follow its developer on X.

Starting tomorrow, this update will be available on Ubisoft+, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Amazon Luna, Steam Deck, and PC through the Ubisoft Store, Epic Games Store, and Steam. In Season 9, The Crew Motorfest offers players its most exciting lineup yet: a high-powered collaboration with NASCAR, the launch of its biggest UGC feature to date, and the buzzing energy of RC cars later in May.

On March 4, experience the ultimate blend of speed and fun with the NASCAR Motorfest Tour Playlist. Players will compete for the title of NASCAR Motorfest Tour Champion through ten select events, from qualifications to finals, powered by special gameplay features to navigate the tracks and immerse themselves in the iconic NASCAR energy. Alongside this narrative arc, celebrate the arrival of 16 authentic NASCAR vehicles that can be driven anytime, anywhere across Motorfest.

“We’re excited to bring our iconic brand to life in The Crew Motorfest,” said Mitch Rasmussen, Sr. Director, Interactive at NASCAR. “This collaboration represents another important step in our strategy to bring NASCAR into the digital spaces and places where next generation fans spend their time, giving players new ways to interact with the culture and communities they love.”

Year 3 Season 9 also brings the game’s most in-depth UGC track creator, Trackforge. With Trackforge, players can design their dream circuits using two distinct templates: Motorsports and Coaster. Whether it’s precision handling, gravity-defying loops, or pure speed, Trackforge empowers players to create tracks suited to their preferred racing styles. Once developed, tracks can be published and shared with others, allowing the Motorfest community to drive together on the islands of Moloka’i and Lanai in a new, dynamic way.

On May 6, get ready to break the rules and stretch open-world freedom to its limits with the RC Frenzy Playlist. A premium addition to Season 9, the playlist delivers pure, and sometimes, old-school fun during dedicated events as players traverse the Island on wild RC Cars. Slip through impossibly tight gaps, uncover hidden gems, and rediscover the Hawaiian archipelago from a new point of view via the playlist events but also in the open world.

Season 9 also brings other major updates to the player experience, including a new Island Playground filled with tracks of all shapes and forms, Summit Contest events where skill and style can compete against one another, and new activities dropping in the Main Stage, where participants can engage in weekly themed activities.

A total of 31 new vehicles will roll out across Season 9 including:
