Jyamma Games, the developer behind the Italian-inspired souls-like game Enotria: The Last Song, has indefinitely delayed the Xbox version due to Microsoft being non-responsive.
According to a Discord post by Jyamma studio CEO Jacky Greco (via Windows Central), an Xbox version is ready for submission. However, Microsoft has seemingly ignored the studio’s submission ahead of the game’s September 18 release date.
“We believe that Xbox is blessed with a huge gaming community and we would love to release Enotria on your platform as fast as possible, as we spent a lot of money and resources to make it happen, but this task is nearly impossible with Microsoft taking months to reply to us when we have the game ready for submission,” Jyamma Games explained in a statement. “If you’d like to help please let Xbox know about our situation, if we had a dedicated xbox account manager help us out this issue would not exist, thank you so much!”
The developer later added that Microsoft apologized for the situation, with CEO Jacky Greco writing on Discord (via Eurogamer) that the company reached out after the initial complaints were made. A timetable for when the problems will be rectified was not provided.
Xbox has seen a number of games skip the platform, at least at launch, due to a variety of factors. Black Myth: Wukong reportedly has a non-publicized timed exclusivity deal with Sony, although other reports dispute that. Capcom’s remasters such as Ace Attorney Investigations and Capcom Fighting Game Collection were initially skipped over for Xbox as well. However, Capcom revealed that as a result of technical discussions with Microsoft, the latter and the second compilation are coming to Xbox in 2025.
Microsoft requires feature parity and simultaneous launches across Series S and Series X, which has also contributed to delays. Most infamously, Baldur’s Gate 3 was released late for Xbox last year due to technical complications related to the Series S version. However, that’s not the case with Enotria, as the developer said on Twitter, “It’s not a performance issue, the game works better as expected on series S, and really good on series X, but we cannot proceed through the submission process and the reply from microsoft can take up to 2 months.”

Starting on March 5, Nvidia GeForce Now’s free tier will display up to two minutes of ads before the game boots up. GeForce Now is one of many streaming services to add ad-supported tiers over the last few months.
Nvidia spoke to The Verge about the coming change. Spokesperson Stephanie Ngo wrote, “Free users will start to see up to two minutes of ads while waiting in queue to start a gaming session.” The paid tiers of GeForce Now, Priority and Ultimate, will not be affected. Ads will not interrupt play, but display while users are waiting in the queue for each free hour of games. Nvidia claims the ads will help pay for the service and reduce load times for free users. Nvidia sent emails to free tier users on February 27, informing them of the changes.

Before Epic Games struck gold with Fortnite, the company had a free-to-play MOBA called Paragon that ran for two years before it was eventually shut down. Four years later, Paragon is back thanks to the efforts of a different developer that has used a treasure trove worth of assets from Epic to resurrect the game.
Spotted by PC Gamer, the new take on the MOBA is called Paragon: The Overprime. The revival is led by South Korean-based studio Netmarble and exists thanks to Epic releasing almost $12 million worth of assets, for free, on its Epic Game Store platform.
Epic allows developers to freely use these resources to create games, so Netmarble is continuing from where the company left off and is currently holding a “final test” before an early access period begins in Novembe…

For decades, the casino industry has been one of the major contributors to the Illinois economy. However, things have changed; as from 2012 to 2022, the same industry saw a $200 million decline, according to data from the Illinois Gaming Board.
Reasons for falling profits:
Among the reasons for the mentioned decline, one of the main reasons for the decline is the emergence of more types of gambling. This reason was given because various types of gambling weren’t accessible to Illinois residents in 2012.
One example of this is that video gaming terminals nearly doubled from a profit of $395 million in 2019 to $762 million in 2022.
Furthermore, they permit players to wager on video poker and slot machines at local bars and restaurants, offering a more affordable …

Duolingo, the #1-ranked language-learning app on both the App Store and the Google Play Store, is now offering an updated course in High Valyrian. The app may be best known for its persistent owl mascot, but it is now offering its users free lessons in the preferred tongue of the Mother of Dragons, the result of a combined effort between the app’s developers and HBO to create an interactive promotion for House of the Dragon, HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off.
The High Valyrian course has actually existed on Duolingo for some time, but the HBO partnership has resulted in the addition of over 150 new words and 700 new sentences to the course.

Update: In a statement to PCG, Larian says that the problem players are running into with the shared stash system is “not the intended behavior and will be fixed in an upcoming update.”
Baldur’s Gate 3 is excellent. Historically excellent, in fact, but it’s not without its flaws. The first of these, of course, is that Astarion was not voiced with Neil Newbon’s original Brummie accent, but the game’s awkward inventory system is a close-run second. I don’t know about you, but I probably spent at least a couple of hours of playtime standing stock-still in camp, desperately trying to give my chaotic inventory and those of my allies some semblance of organisation. It never worked.
The third patch for the game tried to ameliorate that a bit, i…
