The Xbox Series X, Series S, and PS5 are just a week away, which means a ton of new games and better performance for your existing library. But plenty of console owners also use their systems as an entertainment hub, and Microsoft has released more details on that aspect of the Xbox Series X and S as well.

In the announcement, Microsoft revealed that your existing streaming entertainment apps will make the trip to Xbox Series X and Series S when they launch. But they’ll be joined by one new addition, as the Apple TV app is finally coming to Xbox consoles on November 10. It will be on the new generation, as well as the Xbox One. This is in addition to your other entertainment apps like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu.

The blog goes on to promise enhanced dynamic range and fuller colors on Series X and S, along with spatial sound supported in certain apps like Netflix and Disney+. Microsoft also promises a better user experience with a speedier dashboard and Microsoft Store for locating more apps.

Godfall is one of the PlayStation 5’s big launch titles, but it is also coming to PC when it releases on November 12. Considering the power that the next-generation console brings to the table, you might have expected the requirements for the PC port to be similarly demanding, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Counterplay Games has revealed the minimum and recommended requirements for Godfall, neither of which will require the most cutting-edge GPUs from Nvidia or AMD. If you have a respectfully powerful system that is just a handful of years old, you should be good to go for Godfall’s mix of melee action and looting.

If you’re on Nvidia’s side of the fence for your GPU, Counterplay recommends a GTX 1080Ti, notable for its 11GB of VRAM which might factor into texture settings. On AMD’s side, Godfall will prefer a RX 5700 XT, featuring only 8GB of VRAM. Whether you’re using Intel or AMD for your CPU, you’ll be able to get by on current and past generation chips, with the AMD Ryzen 3600 and Intel Core i7-8700 listed.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons characters made a special appearance in the stands of the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts football game on Sunday. Cardboard cutouts of villagers, Blathers, and other characters filled part of the bleachers during the NFL matchup.

Originally reported by Dali Dimovski on Twitter, the cutouts could be seen a few times during CBS’s broadcast of the game. Cardboard cutouts have become a regular part of professional sports after the COVID pandemic forced teams to limit fan attendance. Teams have been pumping fake crowd noise into stadiums and adding cutouts like these to the stands at NBA, MLB, and NFL games.

The game took place in Detroit at Ford Field, although the cutouts didn’t help the Lions at all. They lost to the Colts by 20 points in a 41-21 blowout.
