Xbox began rolling out its disc-to-digital licensing program to all players on September 29, 2026, after testing it with Insiders, giving owners of most Xbox One and Xbox Series X game discs a way to claim a digital license, with eligibility varying by title and the physical disc still worth keeping, as reported by Kotaku.

Minecraft Dungeons 2 doesn’t try to reinvent that formula.

Activision has confirmed that legacy weapon camos will not carry forward into Call of Duty: Warzone when Modern Warfare 4 Season 1 launches, walking back a claim it made in its own Carry Forward blog post. The publisher issued a correction acknowledging it mistakenly stated that camos earned in previous games would remain equippable, and the update was published on Monday 28 September. Here’s the context: the corrected blog still preserves a meaningful chunk of legacy content.

Players appear to have uncovered what may be the final stage of one of Diablo 4‘s longest-running hidden quests, a multi-year chain built around an item called the Lucky Coin.

Blizzard has confirmed the Skyborne as a brand-new playable race in World of Warcraft: Forever, split across both Horde and Alliance so players choose their faction from the very start, with Lead Game Designer Tim Jones revealing that Executive Creative Director Chris Metzen specifically challenged the team to not play it safe with the Skyborne rather than defaulting to the obvious expansion locations.
