In a surprise announcement, Kojima Productions has launched Death Stranding Director’s Cut on Xbox Series X/S, just ahead of the game’s five-year anniversary. Originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive upon its release in 2019, Death Stranding has since expanded to PC, PlayStation 5, and Apple devices, making its journey to various platforms over the years. Here are more details.

Death Stranding Director’s Cut Dropped on Xbox Series X/S Surprisingly

Death Stranding Director’s Cut was released for Xbox Series X/S and PC on November 7, 2024. The game has been a PlayStation exclusive since its launch in 2024. Despite the game being launched on Windows in 2020, the game never arrived on Xbox. However, the game is now available on Apple devices.

Director’s Cut is an extended version of the base game which launched for PS5 on September 24, 2021. It offers enhancements including new gameplay missions, high framerate support, photo mode, and ultrawide monitor compatibility. For Xbox players, the game supports cloud saves, Xbox Achievements, and Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing a single purchase for play across both Xbox consoles and Windows PCs with synced progress and achievements.

Sony Confirms PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro) Won’t Launch in India Due to Wi-Fi 7 Restrictions

ps5 pro

Sony has officially confirmed that the all-new PlayStation 5 Pro, popularly called PS5 Pro will not be coming to India soon due to some regulatory limitations. The reasons cited by Sony are so surprising and disappointing for Indian gamers who are eager to experience the new console despite its high price. Here is more you need to know about it.

Sony is Not Releasing PS5 Pro in India Citing WiFi 7 Restrictions

Earlier today, Sony India made an official statement through a press release which says the PS5 Pro will not be available in some countries including India. The complete statement is as follows:

PS5 Pro will not be available in some countries (which presently includes India) where 6GHz wireless band used in IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) has not yet been allowed.

The PS5 Pro’s hardware enhancements—including a custom AMD processor, advanced ray tracing, faster frame rates, and support for native 4K and select 8K gaming—make it a major upgrade over the standard PS5. Wi-Fi 7 is central to these improvements, offering speeds up to 46 Gbps and reduced latency for smoother streaming, faster downloads, and more seamless online gaming. By integrating Wi-Fi 7, the PS5 Pro is designed to deliver an immersive gaming experience. However, in regions like India, where the 6GHz band remains unauthorized for public use, these benefits are inaccessible.

Sony’s decision to delay the PS5 Pro’s India launch is surprising, as many other Wi-Fi 7-compatible devices, like Intel’s Lunar Lake laptops, Apple’s iPhone 16 series, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, are available in the Indian market.

India’s unavailability of Wi-Fi 7 isn’t unique to Sony. The issue stems from ongoing debates over the 6GHz band’s usage, with telecom operators pushing for it to be licensed for 5G, while tech companies advocate for keeping it unlicensed for Wi-Fi. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) is lobbying for 6GHz to support 5G, which clashes with the needs of Wi-Fi-reliant devices like the PS5 Pro. This regulatory impasse has held back the rollout of Wi-Fi 7 in India, while regions like the US, EU, and parts of East Asia have already authorized its use.

Despite the regulatory roadblocks, Indian gamers eager to access the PS5 Pro may find it in the grey market. However, these units are sold at inflated prices—up to one lakh rupees—and come with no official warranty, as the console’s retail price is around Rs 59,000 ($699).

Sony has not provided a specific timeline for the PS5 Pro’s launch in India. However, the company is actively working with regulators to expedite the approval process for the 6GHz band. Once the band is approved, the PS5 Pro could potentially launch in India in the near future.

Until then, Indian gamers will have to settle for the standard PS5 or explore other gaming options.

Riot Games has released Valorant Patch 9.09, bringing a series of updates and bug fixes to enhance gameplay stability and address issues across both PC and console platforms. With these refinements, Riot continues to polish the gaming experience as Valorant progresses through the third act of Episode Nine.

Valorant Patch 9.09: Major Bug Fixes and Gameplay Enhancements

Agent Improvements

Riot tackled several agent-related bugs to improve game mechanics:

  • Deadlock’s ANNIHILATION Pull: A previous issue causing pulled players to get stuck on ledges has been resolved, streamlining combat sequences.
  • Fade’s Prowler Tracking: Fade’s Prowler now stays focused on its target during its Bite, unless it teleports out of its sightline.
  • Astra’s Spycam Alert: Astra will now receive an audio alert when Cypher’s Spycam watches her, enhancing her awareness of surveillance.
  • Killjoy’s Turret Range Display: The minimap now consistently displays the deactivation range for Killjoy’s Turret, regardless of weapon switches.
  • KAY/O and Yoru Interaction: KAY/O can no longer be picked up by Yoru while his NULL/cmd ability is active, preventing unintended interactions during Dimensional Drift.

Map Fixes

On the Abyss map, Riot addressed an exploit where players could destroy the breakable mid-doors from certain angles, restoring the intended balance to this area.

Platform-Specific Adjustments

PC Updates

In Premier mode, the standings dropdown now displays Invite divisions for all zones and automatically adjusts the zone selection based on the chosen division. Other PC-specific bug fixes include:

  • Early Agent Select Access: Players can no longer bypass the “Match Found” popup by leaving parties early to enter Agent Select.
  • Field of View (FOV) Exploit: Riot has removed an FOV stretching exploit that occurred with a 4:3 resolution in windowed mode.
  • Premier Competitor Crest: The Competitor Crest now correctly displays on the Premier career page for players who have earned it.

Console Updates

For console players, button designs have been updated to distinguish radio buttons from checkboxes for clearer navigation. Social features also received attention:

  • Voice Chat Stability: Players with extensive block lists should now encounter no issues joining voice chat.
  • Friend Requests: Issues with friend requests on consoles, such as blocked players receiving them or requests failing to send, have been resolved.

Microsoft Gaming Revenue Surges with Activision Acquisition While Hardware Sales are Declining

Microsoft Gaming revenue has shown a significant rise, as stated in its latest Q1 2025 financial results alongside its cloud sector. This remarkable increase in its Gaming and cloud sectors is driven by the recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard and the strong performance of the Xbox Game Pass.

Revenue from Xbox content and services surged by 61% year-over-year, primarily due to a significant “net impact” from Activision’s acquisition, valued at $75.4 billion. Gaming as a whole grew 43%, although Xbox hardware revenue saw a notable decline of 29%, attributed to Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to expand gaming accessibility across multiple devices rather than focusing solely on Xbox consoles.

Microsoft raised the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate during the quarter and unveiled the new “Standard” tier for Xbox Game Pass. When popular games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III entered the subscription service, it broke previous records for both engagement and Game Pass memberships. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which debuted in October and isn’t yet included in these Q1 numbers, received praise by CEO Satya Nadella as the “biggest Call of Duty release ever,” which raised hopes for Game Pass subscriber growth in the next quarter.

Microsoft’s cloud business also showed resiliency, as evidenced by the 33% annual growth in Azure and other cloud services revenue, which was driven by increased demand for artificial intelligence (AI) services. Advances in AI integration, especially in productivity products like Microsoft Copilot, and a greater emphasis on cybersecurity helped the company’s Intelligent Cloud revenue reach $24.1 billion.

According to CFO Amy Hood, the slowdown in hardware sales may cause Xbox gaming revenue to decline slightly in Q2. The release of Black Ops 6 and Microsoft’s plan to expand access to well-known games across platforms have changed Xbox’s business model, although it is still anticipated that Xbox content and services income will stay consistent.
