This week in the news we discuss the controversial Xbox Live Gold price increase that was hastily reversed, Vicarious Visions being folded into Blizzard, the backlash to “new” Halo 3 armor, Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.1, Resident Evil Village’s May release date, February Games with Gold, and the second wave of Game Pass additions for January 2021.

We also discuss games we’ve been playing including the newly released Hitman 3, upcoming indie title Olija from Devolver Digital, CoD Cold War Zombies, and the never-ending saga that is Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
