FIFA’s history on Nintendo consoles is shaky, with past releases often inferior, dated shadows of the games on PlayStation and Xbox. Unfortunately that trend continues with FIFA 18 on Switch, a passable on-pitch experience that is sadly stripped back and devoid of so many of the features that make the franchise currently so appealing.

FIFA 18 on Switch is at its best when playing a straight-up match, but that’s largely because it offers little else. Mechanically it has more in common with last year’s game: the pace and control is similar, and as such, dribbling isn’t as responsive as it is currently on PS4 and Xbox One. Players feel heavy and are slow to turn too, so the sluggishness is even further exaggerated.

An amendment has appeared on the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Beta event page, showing the beta now closes Thursday October 12 at 3:00 AM AEDT.

The beta was originally scheduled to finish yesterday after being available as an early access for preorder customers since October 4 and has been open to all as of October 6.

The AT2020 microphone by Audio Technica is an excellent, professional quality condenser microphone with a single cardioid pattern and a great price (See it on Amazon). But it isn’t without its downsides. The price and quality are great, but casual hobbyists should be aware that there are more steps required to getting audio into your computer than a simple plug-and-play mic. It’s mostly for people who want to crystal clear audio for voiceover and podcasting and aren’t afraid of a little tinkering.

Ubisoft has finally revealed its plans for Assassin’s Creed Origins‘ post-launch content. The game will receive two major expansions after its October release date, in addition to a number of smaller add-ons, some of which will be free.

The two main DLC packs are called The Hidden Ones and The Curse of the Pharoahs. The former will launch in January 2018 and is set many years after the base game as you clash with the Romans in a new region. The latter, meanwhile, will introduce a “a new, mystical realm” in which you’ll encounter “beasts such as Anubis warriors, scorpios, and more” as you investigate the curse that has resurrected dead Pharaohs. The Curse of the Pharoahs launches in March next year.

The two story expansions are included in Assassin’s Creed Origins’ season pass, which costs $40 in the US (international pricing has yet to be announced). That also bags you two smaller add-ons–each containing new outfits and weapons–as well as 500 in-game credits and an exclusive weapon. Check out everything included in the season pass at the bottom of this article, via Ubisoft.

Origins’ Gold Edition and Steelbook Edition contain the season pass for no extra cost, though many of the game’s other special editions do not include all added content. For more, check out our breakdown of all six Assassin’s Creed special editions. Separate from the season pass, Assassin’s Creed Origins will receive an array of free content, including a Photo Mode, an Educational Mode, and a Horde Mode that sees players “fight endless waves of enemies in the Gladiator Arena.”
