Buying DLC for Game Pass and PS Plus titles can seem essential, but you’re left owning content you can’t use
Nothing in this world is permanent. Everything goes away, in the end. We’re all going to die. Even the universe itself, ultimately, is running on a clock. Heat death is coming for us all. But, more immediately, we have to contend with things we love dearly cycling in and out of our chosen subscription services. Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown leaves Netflix, Final Fantasy 13 leaves Game Pass, all the worthwhile PlayStation exclusives leave the it-was-never-permanent PS Plus Collection. Life goes on. We learn. We grow.
I am a massive Monster Hunter fan. Long-time readers of the site may know this by now; I can’t seem to shut the hell up about it. For my sins, I own the massive and very good expansion to Monster Hunter Rise, Sunbreak, no less than three times – on Switch, on PC, and now on Xbox. After the game was added to Xbox Game Pass at the start of the year, I thought I’d jump back in again… little did I know I’d get hooked (again) and go as far as owning the DLC for a third time. I have a problem, yes, but that’s not what this piece is about.
Owning the DLC but not the main game puts me in a weird space when it comes to being able to access content I own… given that I access the base game via Game Pass, but now I have a paid expansion on my account, that means that when Capcom inevitably rotates Rise out of the service, I will be left with £30+ of DLC that I cannot access. Unless I swing for the base game out of my own wallet. Which feels kinda counter-intuitive to what Game Pass is trying to achieve with its all-you-can-eat buffet promises.

Four classic SEGA Genesis titles are now available on Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo is regularly updating the line-up of games available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers. Just a couple of months ago, it expanded massively by introducing GameBoy Advance titles to the service.
Now, though, it has added four classic SEGA Genesis titles for players to revisit, or try for the first time.
This time around, the four SEGA Genesis titles that players get to dive into are Pulseman, Flicky, Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition, and Kid Chameleon. Frankly, the only one I’m even remotely familiar with is Street Fighter II, and that’s because, well, it’s Street Fighter.

Lee Haney Explains Why He Retired Undefeated After 8 Olympia Titles: “There’s Nowhere Else To Go But Down”
Lee Haney crafted a dynasty at the top of bodybuilding in the 1980s. To this day, the superstar’s eight consecutive Mr. Olympia titles (1984-1991) are only matched by fellow fitness legend Ronnie Coleman (1998-2005). Theoretically, Haney, who retired in his early 30s, could’ve vied for more Olympia victories. Instead, he stepped down after 1991. On Mar. 29, 2023,…

Nvidia’s DLSS offering expands today with 5 new titles and an upgrade for Forza Horizon 5
Nvidia’s DLSS technology gets another update today, adding five new titles to the service, updating another, and improving the tools available to developers wishing to use the game-changing setup.
For the unfamiliar, DLSS stands for Deep Learning Super Sampling, and is basically a method of using AI technology to increase the frame rates you can output in compatible PC games – allowing you to theoretically crank up graphics-intensive settings including ray tracing without tanking performance.
With DLSS, you can do things like max out Cyberpunk 2077, including with ray tracing, and still achieve 60 or even 120 frames per second. When it works, it’s a bloody magical feature. There’s a catch, of course – you’ll need a compatible Nvidia RTX graphics card, and games have to be individually updated for DLSS compatibility.
