The Medium, a game that only released a few days ago and also launched on Xbox Game Pass, has already managed to cover its production and marketing costs. Future sales will be profit for Polish developer Bloober Team, which is no stranger to bizarre and terrifying horror experiences.

Shared in the Polish publication Money.pl, Bloober Team said the game’s sales have already eclipsed what it cost the studio to develop and promote the game, which is available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

It’s also available on Xbox Game Pass for the platforms, but unlike many other Game Pass titles, it isn’t on Xbox One. This makes its profitability even more impressive, as the Xbox Series X|S has only a fraction of the install base as the older console. It’s unclear how Game Pass factored into the sales figures or if it managed to turn a profit even before factoring this in.

Among Us was one of the biggest gaming surprises of 2020 (despite releasing two years earlier) and developer Innersloth even scrapped plans for a sequel to continue working in the original game. This includes updating it with new content, and a brand-new map is in the works. But just when will the new Among Us map release?

The main map that players know in Among Us is The Skeld, a spaceship filled with tasks to complete and plenty of ways to kill your crewmates. There are two other paid maps for the game, but the free Skeld map is what most players have experienced. They’ll soon be able to play the game’s fourth map–The Airship–which features more than a dozen rooms, new tasks, ladders, and the chance to choose the room you start in.

When is The Airship map releasing?

Innersloth has not given a firm date or even a month for The Airship to release. However, the studio did say it will arrive in early 2021, which means it could potentially be here very soon. It was confirmed during The Game Awards in December 2020.

GoldenEye 007 is one of the best first-person shooters and licensed video games of all time, but because of a complex licensing situation that required several partners–including Nintendo–to come together, we never saw a remaster of the original game. Instead, we got a remake for the Wii several years later, but footage of a canceled Xbox 360 remaster of the 1997 version has appeared online.

Posted by the YouTube channel Graslu00 and spotted by VGC, the GoldenEye 007 remaster footage shows off the entire campaign as well as some multiplayer content. It looks like the game was essentially complete before the plug was pulled, and Xbox chief Phil Spencer said Xbox has “always given up” on trying to get the rights-holders working together to publish the remaster. Rare developed the game, and the studio is now a subsidiary of Microsoft. But Nintendo published the game, and the remake was later published by Activision.

What we see in the video is likely what fans wanted more than Activision’s remake. The remake still had some of the same themes and characters from the first version, but it changed enough to feel like a different game.
