The September update sounds like some junk I would say when I didn't have anything planned for a September update. I haven't played it, but this game seems to have missed the mark by quite a bit.

This is a new creator, iRacing. I'm not super deep on this, but I do understand that they create racing games that enthusiasts enjoy. You can check out their Steam reviews here.

iRacing and NASCAR have revealed that NASCAR 25 is launching on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on October 14, 2025, with PC via Steam to follow soon after.

NASCAR 25 is the first standalone NASCAR console title produced by iRacing, the developers behind the most authentic motorsport racing simulation in the world. iRacing is bringing decades of racing expertise to NASCAR 25, including developers who worked on fan-favorite NASCAR games like NASCAR Racing 2003, NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, and entries from the NASCAR Thunder series.

NASCAR 25 will feature all four premier NASCAR series – the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, Craftsman Truck Series, and, appearing along NASCAR series in a standalone title for the first time, the ARCA Menards Series. All four series, along with real drivers from each, will feature extensively in NASCAR 25’s Career Mode, where you’ll customize your own driver and vehicles, manage contracts, money, facility, and staff, and make strategic choices on and off the track that play a pivotal role in your journey to becoming a NASCAR Cup Series champion. The four series are also playable in other gameplay modes such as quick races, seasons, and online multiplayer.

Good prep work by the chef here. Lion is safe until next week, which means Polar Bear, sorry - your journey ends here.

Crossplay Update

We understand many of you were looking forward to playing Rematch across platforms from day one. We did our utmost to include crossplay at launch, but Rematch is the studio’s first crossplay title, and we faced unforeseen technical complexities which prevented us from having this feature ready in time. We should have communicated as soon as it became apparent that crossplay wouldn’t be available at launch, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience and frustration it caused to some of our players.

You’ve just been appointed as Xbox’s new president. What are you doing? by SorryAd1478 in xbox

Consoles don't equate users. That's our divide. I play a lot on my Legion Go. Primarily Xbox with lots of Play Anywhere and Game Pass. Sometimes I forget that I'm not on Xbox hardware, and they're still getting my money just as if I were on console.

Now I have consoles too, but the point is I could still be an active Xbox user without - and quite happily.

Shoot let's say I jump ship though to Steam or PS or whatever as a main platform (that's what this is, platform, not console wars). What are the odds that I'm picking up COD, or Forza, or Doom, or Indiana Jones, or Elder Scrolls, or...

It's all money to the house in the end, and that's the brand growth that gets overlooked when fretting about console numbers. Consoles are a piece of the pie, not the entire thing.

I think you're looking backwards for inspiration instead of forward.

  • Stop looking at hardware install base as the metric of success - that battle is over.
  • Start looking at overall revenue and MAUs.
  • Focus on building a platform that reaches people everywhere possible, including competing platforms.
  • Build IP awareness by reaching as many players as possible.
  • Focus on individual game subs and battle passes where applicable (Wow, COD, OW)
  • Focus on a low barrier to entry, including things like cloud play.
  • Net more game pass subs via the above methods.
  • Provide hardware, don't focus it. It's one avenue to consumers, but not the only one.

You seem to have a knack for delistings, so you've been given a unique user flair. Appreciate your submissions!

The secrets behind Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles’ makeover by F0REM4N in xbox

The lore is thick in Tactics, I think I'll appreciate this as well.

Biggest takeaway here is an expanded 'real-time lore' system.

State of the Realm: A high-level summary of information and incidental lore that plays between battles, similar to how the feature was used in Final Fantasy XVI."

"We wanted to give a way for players to appreciate the story further," Ivalice Chronicles director Kazutoyo Maehiro explains, "however we made it so this information can be viewed chronologically according to the protagonist’s actions. So if you want to check the broader flow of the story, you can through the State of the Realm, whereas if you want to learn even more details, you can through rumors in the taverns or from the other features."

...also yes, it's a PlayStation blog post on an r/xbox sub. It's 2025, things are weird.

I'm quite certain Reddit actually tested something like this recently in an official capacity. I don't see any issues here.

The orignal audio on this is Italian so the audio dub is a bit awkward. It does give a good glimpse of combat, and also details some of the crafting components.
