Four games this month, and no two of them play nice together. Two of the four, Sniper Elite: Resistance and Wobbly Life, run on both PS4 and PS5. Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn’t support cross-save, so pick a platform and stick with it there or you’ll lose your progress switching later; Wobbly Life’s cross-save support isn’t clearly confirmed, so verify in-game before switching platforms. MLB The Show 26 is PS5 only, and it’s the most feature-packed of the bunch.

Seven games in, eleven games out. This September on Xbox Game Pass is a game of musical chairs, and the music stops on September 15. Blink and you’ll miss Cyberpunk 2077 on console, or worse, pay full price for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War the week before it drops free into your library. That’s the real risk here: not knowing what’s leaving until it’s already gone.

Nintendo has released Version 4.0.0 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a free update that significantly expands the game's capabilities on Switch 2. The headline addition is local split-screen support for five to eight players on a single system, up from the four-player cap on the original Switch. As Nintendo confirmed on its official site, players just need a Switch 2 and enough controllers to make it happen. The controller requirements are worth knowing before you gather the group.
