Alongside full coverage of the event here on Xbox Wire, Xbox at gamescom 2023: Live from the Show Floor offers 3 days of livestreamed broadcasting from the heart of our booth from Wednesday, August 23, to Friday, August 25.

Cyberpunk 2077 Continues to Evolve with Breathtaking New Ways to Play

Summary

CD Projekt Red is bringing new ways to play to Cyberpunk 2077, including revamped skill trees, a redesigned police system, vehicle combat, and much more.
Unveiled at gamescom 2023’s Opening Night Live, the latest trailer showed off the exciting new location and exclusive gameplay elements coming with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
Players also had a chance to see the massive game overhauls arriving as part of the free Update 2.0.

We at CD Projekt Red were thrilled to unveil just some of what we’ve been working on ahead of the launch of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. The latest “New Ways to Play” trailer, which premiered at gamescom’s Opening Night Live, took players inside Dogtown to show off some of the new open-world activities, gameplay mechanics, vehicles, and more arriving with the expansion this September 26. But as we mentioned onstage, some of what we showed off will be free to next-gen players as part of Update 2.0! Let’s dive into the trailer to tease out just what cool features are coming to Phantom Liberty — and what to expect for the rest of the game.

Most of the high-octane action in the trailer took place inside the walled-off district of Dogtown, an exclusive Phantom Liberty location and the heart of its spy-thriller story. The crumbling high rises and abandoned construction sites littering the area are a testament to the living conditions under the rule of local warlord Kurt Hansen. Unsurprisingly, a district this deadly and lawless comes with some fun new ways to make eddies.

You may have noticed an interesting orange case spewing smoke in the trailer. Due to its separation from the rest of Night City, Dogtown has some… interesting methods of getting supplies in. And hey, it’s only fair to share the wealth, right? In Phantom Liberty, we’re adding infinitely replayable airdrop missions with a variety of enemies and scenarios to face, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take down scavs and other opportunists in Dogtown.

On top of that, expect a brand-new type of gig: courier missions. Race through the streets of Dogtown and Night City to deliver preem rides — just be careful, you’re not the only one who wants to get their hands on these wheels. We’re going one step further and introducing vehicle-mounted weaponry in Phantom Liberty, meaning you can rule the road like never before. Of course, you can always shoot through your windshield or hack enemy vehicles if you prefer a more subtle approach.

We’ll also be adding a whole new Relic skill tree — the trailer gave a taste of some of the abilities coming with it, including the possibility of upping the ante with various types of cyberware. We can’t show off everything just yet, but it’s the perfect complement to the spy-thriller adventure you’re about to embark on.

The Relic skill tree slots in well to the skills and perks overhaul we’re introducing in Update 2.0, created for the purpose of giving players new ways of developing meaningful and unique builds. Want to knock out your enemies by throwing their downed friends at them? The new Savage Sling perk is perfect for you! For those interested in evasive maneuvers, Dash and Airdash make it harder for enemies to target you while helping you get right into range. And with new, unique finishers, there are plenty of ways to zero an enemy in style.

And vehicle combat isn’t just a Phantom Liberty exclusive — with Update 2.0, expect roadblocks, high-octane shootouts, and of course, MaxTac. Police will respond accordingly to your heat level, setting additional traps, trying to ram you off the road, and eventually calling in the big guns once they’re convinced you’ve gone full cyberpsycho.

From ripperdocs and cyberware to overhauled combat AI and a revamped take on perks, there will be plenty to discover when Update 2.0 launches. And with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty coming out on September 26, we at CD Projekt Red can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on this spy-thriller adventure. Stay tuned to our socials for more information ahead of the launch — Dogtown’s waiting!

Forza Motorsport is optimized to run across a wide range of PCs, taking advantage of cutting-edge PC hardware and technologies.
The iconic Nürburgring GP circuit will be available in Forza Motorsport at launch, and as part of our commitment to delivering ongoing content monthly post-launch, the Nordschleife will be coming in Spring 2024.

To celebrate our presence here at gamescom in Cologne, Germany, today we revealed that the local and world-famous Nürburgring GP circuit will be available in Forza Motorsport at launch on October 10. What’s more, as part of our plan to regularly bring new content to the game after release, we are also happy to confirm the iconic 12.9-mile (20.83 km) Nordschleife will be coming in Spring 2024. Both tracks have been completely rebuilt for the Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Forza players attending gamescom are invited to the Forza Motorsport theatre experience from Thursday, August 24 through Sunday, August 27. Here you will be treated to the amazing racing action that awaits in the Builders Cup, the new single-player career mode in Forza Motorsport. We’ll be showcasing brand-new gameplay featuring a group of super-fast German sedans competing at the high-speed Mugello Circuit.

To celebrate Porsche’s 75th anniversary and their partnership with Xbox and the Forza franchise, fans are also invited to visit the Xbox booth to see a custom-wrapped 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S with 6 custom Xbox Series X consoles.

Experience Forza Motorsport on PC

Starting today, PC players can pre-order Forza Motorsport on Steam and play up to 5 days early from October 5 by pre-purchasing the Premium Edition. With cross-play for online matchmaking and cross-save, you can play with your friends across PC and console and for the first time, continue your racing journey across Xbox Series X|S and Steam with shared progression and achievement unlocks.

We’ve optimized Forza Motorsport to look and play great across a wide range of PCs, taking advantage of cutting-edge PC hardware and technologies with real-time ray tracing on-track and maximum performance enabled by NVIDIA DLSS 2 and AMD FSR 2.2.

Forza Motorsport on PC supports native resolutions up to 4K and beyond, including ultrawide resolutions during on-track gameplay, HDR calibration, shader pre-compilation and pre-caching, DirectStorage for improved CPU loading, unlocked single-player framerates with or without V-Sync enabled, and more.

In addition to native support for popular racing wheels from Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec, Forza Motorsport supports the DirectInput API on PC.

There is also input remapping so you can customize the button layout of your controller, mouse and keyboard, as well as your favorite steering wheels and non-standard gamepads like flight sticks. This level of device extensibility means Forza Motorsport is accessible to more players who use custom hardware setups.

Customize Your Favorite Ninja in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, Out November 17

Shinobi, slip on your forehead protectors, because you can now preorder Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, out November 17! In the next entry of the action/fighting game Storm series, players can relive the story of Naruto and Sasuke’s rivalry, or jump into head-to-head fights as more than 130 ninjas from the Naruto and Boruto anime series.

Although there are 130+ playable characters, players may inevitably find themselves in a mirror match to see who is the strongest Naruto, fastest Minato, or deadliest Madara. At times like these, you can let your own personality shine through your favorite ninjas by equipping cosmetic accessories, selecting different forms of the Substitution Jutsu, unlocking special Finish Scenes, and even adjusting their personal background music. Let’s dive in and check out what the Hidden Leaf Village has in store.

By playing the game, players will unlock several cosmetic items by completing various objectives and challenges. Additionally, players will also gain in-game currency as they play that can be spent on a myriad of items adding a bit more style to your favorite characters.

Accessories

Not only does each shinobi have various costumes and colors in their wardrobe, they also have a plethora of cosmetic accessories to truly make them stand out. You will be able to equip up to five different accessories on the head, face, shoulders, back & waist, and arm slots. These can range from simple scrolls and masks to stuffed animals. Shinobi may be silent, but who said their fashion can’t be loud?

Nostalgic Anime BGM and Item Pack

Sprucing up your fashion is not the only way players can tailor their experience in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. With the separately purchased Nostalgic Anime Song and Item Pack DLC, you will be able to change in the in-game music and relive your favorite moments from Naruto with iconic songs like “Blue Bird” by Ikimonogakari; “Silhouette” by KANA-BOON; and more. This DLC pack also comes with additional items such as 2 Substitution Jutsu (Microphone and Orange Headphones) and a Ninja Info Card Skin.

Substitution Items

The difference between a genin and a jounin Storm player is strategic use of the Substitution Jutsu. When under attack by an opponent, you can use your Substitution Jutsu to immediately escape their combo and come back with a counterattack. Why not add some flair to your Substitution by customizing its appearance too? Replace the classic log substitution shinobi use with something that speaks to your chosen character, like Anbu masks, dolls, or a bowl of ramen to baffle your opponent. Peruse the many forms below and find what speaks to you.

Finish Scenes

Finally, we’re finishing up this customization overview with Finish Scenes! When a player wins the battle with a special attack, they can unlock a special Finish Scene. These stills from the anime play out before the victory screen and can change depending on the match-up and a few other factors. From Kakashi and Guy to Jiraiya and Naruto, which character’s Finish Scenes will you try to unlock first?

Pre-Order today and get ready to stand out and show off your style and skills in Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections by customizing your cosmetic accessories, substitution items, background music, and finish scenes! Establish yourself as the strongest and most stylish ultimate ninja when the game releases November 17 on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Cult of the Lamb and Don’t Starve Together Join Forces for an Unholy Communion

As a new day dawns and the Cult’s followers rise from their slumber, they hear a familiar bell calling them to the temple. The Lamb is already there, preparing for the morning sermon but they hear a loud droning. The Lamb rushes outside to find a small black circle spinning in the air. It starts to grow like a tentacle reaching around itself. The liminal space is filled in forming a black and white spiral but there’s something on the other side!

All of us at Massive Monster, Klei Entertainment, and Devolver Digital are so excited to be announcing that the worlds of Cult of the Lamb and Don’t Starve Together are crossing over. For Cult of the Lamb, this is our first in-game collaboration and it’s the perfect way to celebrate Lamb’s first birthday!

Many of us on the Cult of the Lamb side have played an unhealthy amount of Don’t Starve Together. The fear of surviving another night, the triumph of bringing a little more food back to your base, and the frustration of someone “accidentally” burning down everything you’ve been working on. These are familiar memories that we share with so many players. James Pearmain, art director of Cult of the Lamb, says that he loved feeding pigs and making them follow you. He wondered, could he make a whole game out of that?

Cult of the Lamb and Don't Starve Crossover Screenshot

Our friends at Klei said that their team was engrossed by Cult of the Lamb as well. From questionable marriage arrangements to ascending their followers to a higher plane of existence, it’s a game that makes you feel like you’re really changing lives for the better.

If you think about it, both games involve some horrifying mechanics. So that’s why I don’t think about it. Instead, I look at the Lamb’s cute face and Wilson’s quirky expressions and think “awww, I’d love a plushie of that.”

They both share a similar visual approach, with 2D artwork in a 3D perspective. That’s why I feel like this crossover works so well. Both games have been able to take items from the other game extremely faithfully. The new tabernacle decorations and sealed chest skin fit right into Don’t Starve Together. While cosmetics like the science machine, Deerclops chess piece, and pig head on a stick will look great in your Cult.

On top of new cosmetics, Cult of the Lamb has added a whole new game mode inspired by Don’t Starve Together. This whole time, you’ve needed to care for your followers by feeding them and building them shelter. But now, The Lamb is also subject to these mortal necessities. In Penitence Mode, you must eat and sleep to survive. And did I mention it’s permadeath? Life isn’t easy for the Lamb as this adds another layer of complexity to the dungeon crawling and base management gameplay.

Finally, a few characters have made their way through the crossover portal. You can unlock a Webber follower form for your Cult! It brings its survival instincts with a unique trait, so it never goes hungry. In Don’t Starve Together, Ewelets will look a lot godlier when they are dressed like the Lamb.

Before I sign off, I want to thank all the players of both games. Without you, we wouldn’t get the chance to continue providing more and more updates to improve our creations. After this crossover, Cult of the Lamb is working on a free major content update focusing on Cult gameplay for later this year and Don’t Starve Together will be continuing its new “From Beyond” content arc with events, items, content updates, and more.

How Ride 5 Uses Math To Create The Most Authentic Motorcycle Experience Ever

As a biker, it’s hard to put into words the feelings I experience when I mount my bike. What’s even harder is translating that into numbers, into code, and making it possible for anyone to feel those same emotions through their joystick.

And when we talk about bikes, we also have to consider that there is an extra layer of complexity: their physics are more complex to simulate than cars, as motorcycles’ behavior is strictly connected to the interaction with the rider, with his weight and movements, which need to be taken into account.

It was not easy, but with Ride 5 we managed to capture the sensation of being on a bike like never before, and not only visually. This is the result of long work that started with the first Ride, released in 2015; since then, the gameplay physics have constantly evolved, especially when we moved to Unreal Engine, and have become increasingly true to reality. Here’s how we have used this technology to our advantage.

In Ride 5 we have refined and evolved a specific mathematical model called Pacejka to best simulate the tire grip. The correct calculation of their physics these days may seem obvious, but in a game like Ride 5, aiming for maximum realism, you have to calculate how they wear and deform as well. This can depend on a number of factors; the temperature of the asphalt or the riding style, or even the weather which is dynamic in Ride 5. It can also be affected differently in Endurance races, which can force a return to the pits to change the tires.

In Ride 5 no variable is left to chance, and a correct simulation of the bike dynamics must make them behave realistically, regardless of whether they are new or historic. To achieve this, we changed the suspension system, and reviewed the chain pull simulation, engine braking, and transmission. We then worked on the brake management, which must be powerful but modulable, so that players can really feel in control of their bikes. We also evolved the electronics that now includes TCS, anti-skid, anti-wheelie, ABS, and cornering ABS, as found in the most recent real bikes. Finally, compared to Ride 4, we progressed the calculation of aerodynamic flaps, which are increasingly present on sports bikes.

Driving a 2023 BMW M 1000 RR or a vintage MV Agusta provides differences not only in performance, but in the handling changes, as well as the speed at which one bike leans into a turn compared to the other. Since the skills required by two wheels of the past may not be within everyone’s reach, we decided to allow the activation of electronics even on historic motorcycles. This choice serves as a gameplay aid, which purists can disable to experience the thrill of taming temperamental beasts that require great sensitivity.

There is also an important point to discuss regarding the sound of the engines. In previous games, we obtained it by putting the bikes on a dyno, but this way we also recorded the friction of the tires on the rollers, which created background noise. Now we rent a track, place microphones near the exhaust and the engine of the bikes and record everything, obtaining audio that is also positional, so that with the helmet’s point of view, you hear the exhaust from the side it is located. However, the acquisition of the audio is actually only half the work: it then has to be processed and interpolated to “hook it” to the physics of the game, and obtain results consistent with what players actually do on the track.

At Milestone, we are engineers and riders because we ‘build’ the bikes, bring them to the virtual track, and fine-tune them until we achieve the results we expect. We create digital bikes that provide the same emotions as their real counterparts, and Ride 5 is the tangible result of our passion and dedication. It combines the thrill of riding a real bike with the accessibility of a video game, and we are proud to offer motorcycle enthusiasts a unique and immersive experience, which will bring them as close as possible to the real sensation of riding a bike.

Ride 5 is available to pre-order now on Xbox Series X|S, and launches on August 24.

CyberTD Announced for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows 10 PCs

Okay, let’s get this straight: Do you like tower defense and deck building games? Do you love that “just one more round” feeling that makes time fly by? Do you adore Tron-style graphics and sound design? Then let’s head into battle to protect Cyberspace from mutant viruses!

Tower Defense x Deck Building

Our goal with CyberTD was to create an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master tower defense game with addictive roguelite mechanics. You have one tower to equip with weapons, abilities and upgrades to fend off viruses that seek to corrupt the core of Cyberspace. After each wave of enemies, you can choose one of three upgrades to strengthen your tower.

Your growing deck of upgrades allows for a variety of strategies: Do you want to go all-in on a single weapon, making it invincible to your enemies? Or do you want to rely on the tower’s special abilities and use all sorts of nasty tricks to stop the viruses? With over 150 upgrades, six weapons and five different abilities, it’s up to you to! Build your own custom deck of upgrades to best support your strategy.

You are accompanied by ViKing 2000, a fully voiced, split-personality drone who tries (but often fails) to help you. You’ll discover the story behind its two personalities in a single-player campaign that spans two biomes and dozens of different types of viruses (including powerful bosses that require some extra care).

Split-Screen Multiplayer, High Scores and Weekly Challenges

When you finish the single-player campaign after 12 to 15 hours, you have plenty of opportunities to continue developing your master strategy: You can chase high scores or try the Weekly Challenges, which are extra-tough tasks for experienced players. You can also play with a friend in split-screen or duel mode, where you compete against each other for the high score.

Launching September 28

CyberTD launches soon on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows 10 PCs, and is available today for preorder! Be sure to pick it up if you like fast-paced, turn-based action in a sci-fi setting!

CyberTD

$19.99

Think you have what it takes to save cyberspace? Mutant viruses have invaded its core and are threatening to destroy it. It’s up to you to take on these waves of viruses and defend the core of cyberspace in a way that prevents any of them from reaching it. But there’s no need to fret – you’ll have countless upgrades and a split-personality killer drone to (more or less) help you out!

Innovative tower defense experience
CyberTD takes the classic tower defense experience and combines it with roguelite elements, creating a captivating mix. With each level-up, you’ll unlock new upgrades and gain access to more options for customizing your defense according to your own unique style.

Easy to learn, tough to master
Though learning the game’s simple mechanics is easy, you’ll need to come up with an [b]elaborate strategy[/b] if you’re looking to reach high-score territory. You’ll be entertained for plenty of time in your hunt for better upgrades and tactics – and you’ll get some questionable support from a retired killer drone with two feisty personalities.

Various game modes
You’ll always find yourself facing new challenges through these different game modes:
– Single Player: Viruses charge at you, wave after wave, with mutations that boost their strength and endurance – but you, too, have access to a growing range of effective defense mechanisms designed to stop them.
– Co-op: Face the waves of enemies as a pair and work together to fight them off for as long as possible.
– Versus: Face the waves of enemies side-by-side and compete to see who’s more successful at fighting them off.
– Weekly Challenges: A different set of special challenges each week for experienced players – tougher rules come into play here!
– Community Clash: Fun and exciting games for streamers (Twitch) where your chat takes control of a second player in co-op or versus mode, or determines how the rest of the game unfolds for you through choices!

Endless possibilities
You have the power to choose what you need to defend against the enemy effectively. Looking to inflict heavy damage or trigger nasty status changes? Eager to level up your weapons or gain powerful abilities? Over 170 different upgrades await you in four different levels of rarity, ready to be unlocked and integrated into your inventory. You can choose one upgrade per enemy wave from a random selection in this pool – so no two games will ever be the same!
