No Man's Sky is getting something of a mini-update today with the arrival of Expedition Four. While not one of the fully-fledged updates we're used to seeing every quarter or so, No Man's Sky fans will want to check out this Expedition, as it features gigantic sandworms in a new narrative. For that reason, we're guessing fans of Dune who are excited about the new movie might want to check this out as well.

The Pokemon Company today dropped a new trailer for Pokemon Legends: Arceus that's unlike any Pokemon trailer we've seen before. In fact, the trailer in question isn't much of a trailer, as there isn't a clear image to be found anywhere in its two-minute run time. Instead, this trailer is more of a "found footage" teaser that seems to suggest the debut of a new Pokemon we've never seen before.

Yesterday, Microsoft announced that Outriders from Square Enix would soon be joining Xbox Game Pass for PC. At the time of that announcement, we speculated that Microsoft would soon reveal the rest of the games hitting Xbox Game Pass in the second half of October, and we were right.

It's a little hard to believe, but with the latest update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Sora from Kingdom Hearts is officially in the game. One of the most requested characters of all time, Sora seemed like a pipe dream to many, but Nintendo navigated what we imagine was a licensing nightmare to make it happen. Update 13.0.0 adds Sora to the game, but beyond his introduction, the update also buffs several low-tier characters.

Stadia has always been an odd duck among Google's myriad products. While it does have ties to the company's expertise in cloud computing and ML-based optimizations to network communications, it was Google's first major foray into the mainstream gaming industry. It also opted to use its Chromecast platform as the launching pad rather than its more mobile Android or even Chrome OS. Android TV support was also almost like an afterthought, but Google seems to be making up for lost time with a stream of new features, including better Stadia Controller support on Android TV.

Earlier this year, we saw the Square Enix RPG shooter Outriders get a surprise day-one release on Xbox Game Pass. Unfortunately, it wasn't a day-one release for all versions of Game Pass - only the console and cloud versions, leaving PC subscribers to buy a copy outright if they wanted to play on day one. Now, months later, Square Enix and Microsoft are rectifying that oversight, announcing that Outriders is finally coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC.
