Control Deluxe Edition Players Get Ultimate Edition Upgrade, Then Have It Removed
Last month, Control publisher 505 Games confirmed that the game’s Ultimate Edition version, which bundles the original title with two expansions, will be the only way to get a free upgrade to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions without re-purchasing the game. At the time, 505 said this was an option it chose because it couldn’t bring all current-gen players to next-gen platforms and framed it as avoiding “leaving any one group out.” That’s what makes the latest development in the story so confusing.
Users on the gaming forum ResetEra reported that despite owning the Deluxe Edition of the game, which is not the same as the Ultimate Edition, they found they had been upgraded to it anyway. A short time later, this was revoked, and they were reverted back to the previous version of the game.
505 Games’ decision to not offer any sort of upgrade path for most Control players was controversial because it wasn’t just the base game that would need to be transferred. It has received two substantial expansions, and with performance issues on current-gen systems sometimes affecting framerate, it’s expected that the next-gen experience will be superior.
Borderlands 3 Coming To PS5 And Xbox Series X, Future Content Detailed During PAX Online
During its PAX Online Digital Showcase, Gearbox detailed the new features coming to Borderlands 3, including confirmation that it will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/Series X with cross-progression and cross-save support. No release date has been provided.
Gearbox announced that Borderlands 3 players on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will receive a free next-gen upgrade for their respective console. Additionally, Borderlands 3 on next gen will let you carry over the content you’ve purchased and the progress you’ve made from the current generation. It’s unclear whether this upgrade path is relegated to those with the digital or physical edition of the game.
Borderlands 3 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will run at 4K and 60 frames per second, the studio confirmed. Further, two highly requested features–four-player local co-op and vertical split-screen–will be available to all players for free. Vertical split-screen will also be added to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of the game via a free patch, though Gearbox didn’t clarify when this will drop. Similarly, Gearbox didn’t specify whether four-player local co-op will be added to current-gen systems.

State Of Live Games: How Every Game-As-A-Service Is Going Into Next Gen
As the release of the Xbox Series X/Xbox Series S and PlayStation 5 comes closer, one question in particular becomes ever more relevant: How many game-as-a-service titles are getting next-gen ports? And, of course, there is the follow-up: How many of them will keep the hundreds of hours of save data that I’ve invested into the game already?
Below, we take a look at all the major game-as-a-service titles that are still receiving new content drops, updates, and hotfix patches and listing whether they are getting next-gen ports. If they are (or if there’s a possibility that they could), we also list whether they support cross-play and cross-progression. We also let you know whether you’ll need to buy the game again. To help you find what you’re looking for, the games are listed in alphabetical order.
Anthem
BioWare has announced that it plans on giving the loot-shooter a complete overhaul following Anthem’s rocky launch, but next-gen console ports haven’t been announced as part of those plans. We assume that Anthem 2.0 will get Xbox Series X/S and PS5 ports, but we can’t know that for sure–it could remain on current-gen hardware, only playable on next gen via backwards compatibility. On current-gen platforms, Anthem does not support cross-play or cross-progression.
Xbox Series S Is So Small, Phil Spencer Had It In His Background And We All Missed It
We know the Xbox Series X is a hefty console when compared to Xbox One and One X. We also know the PlayStation 5 is one of the taller systems coming to the market. But just how big is Microsoft’s “smallest Xbox ever,” Xbox Series S? You only need to check out Phil Spencer’s shelf to get an idea.
According to the official Xbox Twitter account, the head of the company has had the system on his shelf in livestream since July 1. In fact, the company pointed it out with a magnifying glass like it’s a game of Where’s Xbox. It’s so small, it’s just been hiding next to some white stuff like binders and such.
It’s difficult to point out. The zoom, while helpful, doesn’t exactly make it apparent that what’s behind Spencer is, in fact, the Xbox Series S. However, that’s likely a testament to the discless system’s size.

Sony Apparently Has A PAX Panel, But Don’t Expect PS5 News
A placeholder has been created for a Sony presentation during PAX Online. A description for the event has not been filled out as of yet, but it is scheduled to take place on Friday, September 18.
Whatever presentation Sony has planned will last for one hour, starting at 10:45 PM PT / 1:45 AM ET. The company hasn’t publicly commented on the showcase, and it’s unclear what Sony will discuss. During a PSVR Spotlight this week, Sony said there would be no news on PlayStation 5. It’s likely the company won’t talk about its next-gen console next week.
And since Sony has been quiet about the PlayStation 5 following a June 2020 reveal event, it’s difficult to speculate about what might be unveiled during this upcoming PAX Online presentation.
