    Absolum Now Available on Xbox, Game Pass

    Ever since Dotemu and Guard Crush Games redefined what a modern brawler could be with Streets of Rage 4, the industry has been waiting for their next heavy hitter. That game is Absolum, and after a successful debut on other platforms last year, the wait is finally over for the Xbox community.

    As of March 25, 2026, the acclaimed “Rogue ’em Up” is officially available on Xbox Series X|S and has joined the Xbox Game Pass library on day one.

    A Fresh Spin on the Fantasy Brawler

    Absolum isn’t just a spiritual successor to the arcade classics; it’s a mechanical evolution. Set in the original world of Talamh, the game follows a band of outcast heroes fighting to reclaim magic from the iron grip of Sun King Azra.

    While the combat feels as crunchy and responsive as you’d expect from the Streets of Rage veterans, the “Rogue” in “Rogue ’em Up” is where things get interesting. Each run through the shattered lands of Talamh offers:

    Branching Paths: Navigate through the majestic mines of Grandery or the lethal Jaroba forests.

    Deep Customisation: Collect Rituals and Arcana to modify your moveset, adding elemental effects or changing how your abilities behave.

    A Stellar Soundtrack: The game features an “audio dream team” including Gareth Coker (Ori), Yuka Kitamura (Elden Ring), and Mick Gordon (DOOM).

    Why It Matters for Game Pass Subscribers

    For those who have been curious about Absolum since its TGA nomination last year, the Game Pass launch is the perfect entry point. It’s a notoriously challenging title, but its “Live, Die, Repeat” loop is designed to reward mastery. Whether you’re a solo player looking for a deep mechanical challenge or a co-op duo wanting to chain “Izuna Drops” and “Necrotic Waves,” Absolum is a must-download this week.

    Pro Tip: Don’t sleep on the Clash mechanic. Timing your attacks to hit simultaneously with an enemy’s can stagger even the toughest bosses, opening them up for devastating punish combos.

    Absolum is available now on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and Cloud Gaming via Xbox Game Pass.

  • The Hive Awakens: “Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War” Unveils the Long-Awaited Exclusive Bug Mode

    The Hive Awakens: “Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War” Unveils the Long-Awaited Exclusive Bug Mode

    The Federation has always told us that “the only good Bug is a dead Bug.” But for gamers tired of being on the receiving end of a Plasma Grenadier’s bad day, the script is officially being flipped.

    In a massive update to the tactical shooter Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War, developers have finally pulled back the curtain on the most requested feature in the franchise’s history: Exclusive Bug Mode.

    Play the Villain: Life on the Other Side of the Mandible
    For the first time in Ultimate Bug War, you aren’t just defending a base; you are the swarm. This isn’t just a simple skin swap—it’s a complete mechanical overhaul.

    Instead of worrying about ammo counts and reload speeds, players in Bug Mode manage Hive Ferocity and Evolutionary Pathing. Whether you’re a lowly Warrior or a hulking Tanker, your goal is simple: overwhelm the Federation’s defences by any means necessary.

    Strategy vs. Raw Power

    Playing as the Arachnids requires a shift in mindset. You are no longer the underdog with a rifle; you are a force of nature.

    “We wanted players to feel the terrifying weight of the swarm. It’s not about individual survival; it’s about the collective victory of the Hive.” – Lead Game Designer

    The mode introduces a “Fear Factor” mechanic. The more efficiently your swarm dispatches Troopers, the more the human AI panics, leading to suppressed fire and missed shots. However, if the Federation manages to hold the line, they can call in air strikes that can wipe out your entire brood in seconds. It’s a high-stakes game of biological chess.

    Is It Service or Sacrifice?

    While the Federation prides itself on “doing its part,” the Bug Mode offers a refreshing, chaotic break from the rigid structure of the Mobile Infantry. It’s messy, it’s visceral, and it’s exactly what the community has been itching for.

    Whether you’re playing for the glory of the Hive or just want to see what a Morita Rifle looks like from the perspective of a set of mandibles, this update is a game-changer.
