Slovenia 4/5 to beat Kosovo in Sunday’s Nations League showdown

Following rumors about Microsoft debating whether Call of Duty should come to Game Pass, Xbox president Sarah Bond reiterated that all first-party titles from the publisher arrive on day one for the service. That includes Activision’s titles, but she didn’t discuss rumors about Game Pass potentially receiving a price hike. Nevertheless, it seems to be happening.

In the Xbox Two Podcast with Jez Corden of Windows Central, Rand al Thor 19 said he’s heard something similar. It also seems that a new tier of Game Pass could be on the way. “I think Tom was reporting that there are price hikes coming for Game Pass, and I believe them. I think that actually is happening. I’ve even heard there’s a new tier of Game Pass coming.”

With its promise of a narrative adventure experience and its instantly eye-catching retro art style, Centum has enough going as it is to grab attention, especially if this is a genre that usually appeals to you, but you add to that the game’s core hook of revolving around an unreliable narrator, and it becomes that much more of an intriguing prospect. Wanting to learn more about this upcoming mind-bending adventure title and what it’ll bring to the table, we recently reached out to its developers with some of our questions about it. Below, you can read our interview with Hack the Publisher’s head of studio Andrey Kiryushkin.

From one of 2024’s least expected announcements to a promising revival, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster launches on September 19th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s a mix between remaster and remake for the 2006 classic and still features photojournalist Frank “I’ve covered wars, you know” West investigating a lead in Willamette, only to retreat to the Parkview Mall once zombies run rampant. The gameplay is the same, with players utilizing anything they can get their hands on – weapons, appliances, golf clubs, etc. – to slay zombies and rescue survivors.

It features many quality-of-life changes, visual improvements, a new control style, and some much-needed features for a better experience. But how …

Ronald Koeman believes Spain should have given Barcelona teenager Pedri a rest rather than call him up for the Olympic Games.

The midfielder was a key part of the Spain squad that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2020, becoming the first ever player to start six games in a single European Championship or World Cup aged 18 or below.

Instead of being given time off before the start of Barcelona s LaLiga campaign, Pedri is in Japan for the Olympic football tournament.

Spain play their first game in Group C against Egypt on July 22 before fixtures with Argentina and Australia.

Koeman told a media conference: Pedri has played a lot. We will have to give him a break, everyone needs it during the [European] summer. 

As Pep Guardiola said, playing two im…

The rollout of Activision Blizzard titles for Game Pass has been slower than many would have liked, but sure enough, at a gradual yet steady pace, that’s continuously changing. In fact, another game is set to join the service’s catalog soon.

Microsoft has announced that Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled will release for Xbox Game Pass on December 4, later this week. The acclaimed kart racing remake launched in 2019 for consoles and received widespread acclaim, and is certainly worth a look for subscribers who haven’t already played the game.

Hamburger SV have rejected speculations linking forward Heung-Min Son with a summer move to English Premier League.

The 19-year-old has managed to hold on to a regular starting berth this season despite his fragile age, and his solid showings haven’t gone unnoticed.

Newcastle United were one of the clubs that showed interest in the young Korean, whose agent subsequently confirmed that his client could leave Imtech Arena at the end of the season.

Nonetheless, despite the heavy speculations surrounding the youngster, Hamburg sporting director Frank Arnesen has vowed to keep hold of the promising forward.

“He is good. We won’t sell him,” Arnesen was quoted as saying in Bild.

Son joined Hamburg youth academy from FC Seoul in 2008, but had to …

Bruno Guimaraes is raring to go ahead of the Qatar World Cup, describing making Brazil s squad as tremendously emotional .

The Newcastle United midfielder, one of 12 Premier League players called up by the Selecao, will make his major tournament debut at Qatar 2022 under Tite.

Having switched from Lyon last season to the Magpies, Guimaraes has been sensational in his first nine months as a Premier League player.

We didn t know if I would be in the squad, he told Newcastle s club media. Everyone asks this but in Brazil we don t know, we only find out on the day, …

Stoke boss Mark Hughes will be looking for his side to continue their good home record against Arsenal this afternoon

Arsenal faces a tough trip to Stoke City’s Britannia Stadium this afternoon.

The Gunners have won on just one occasion at the Britannia, which came back in December 2010. They have lost two games and drawn two since then.

Form

However, they travel to a Stoke team that have suffered three consecutive defeats and dropped to 13th place in the Premier League table.

That poor run of form means the Potters are just three points above the Premier League drop zone, which will be concerning to their fans.

In contrast Arsenal have been in decent form winning their last three games in all competitions and keeping three clean sheets…

Roberto Mancini was full of praise for Vincenzo Grifo after he played a part in all three goals as Italy came from behind to beat Albania 3-1 in Wednesday s friendly.

A crashing Ardian Ismajli header put Albania ahead in the first half, but a pinpoint Grifo cross allowed Giovanni Di Lorenzo to equalise just four minutes later before the Freiburg man put Italy in front before the break.

Grifo added his second after half-time to kill off the match and secure a third straight win for the European champions since a 5-2 humbling at the hands of Germany in June.

Mancini was delighted with the 29-year-old s impressive performance, telling Rai Sport: Vincenzo is an extraordinary boy. Grifo is a great player and in the Bundesliga, he is scoring many goals.

[He is…

Newcastle Jets beat Adelaide United 2-1 on Saturday thanks a late Dimitri Petratos penalty, restoring the five-point deficit to A-League pacesetters Sydney FC.

Graham Arnold s men defeated Melbourne City 3-1 a day earlier to open up an eight-point gap at the top, but the Jets ensured they kept the pressure on, even if they rode their luck a little.

Andrew Nabbout eventually opened the scoring for Newcastle just after the break, turning and smashing home from inside the area, though George Blackwood levelled in the 67th minute with a close-range finish.

United s resistance ultimately came to nothing, however, as Petratos converted from 12 yards after Ryan Strain was penalised for handball.
