No Man’s Sky, the huge open-universe exploration game that has continued to expand since release, recently came to Xbox Game Pass. It’s been a bit over a month since the game joined the service, and according to programmer Sean Murray it’s led to a huge increase in players.

Posting to Xbox News about the game’s Desolation update and the addition of crossplay to the game, Murray has revealed that a huge number of new players has joined the game through Game Pass.

“Last month we welcomed over a million new players into No Man’s Sky by virtue of Xbox Game Pass and the Windows 10 release,” he writes. “This, together with our cross-play update, meant that we are seeing some of our biggest ever in-game numbers, all playing together regardless of their gaming platform.”

Murray calls this huge boost in players “genuinely humbling.”

We’ve reviewed No Man’s Sky three times as the game has received updates and improved, and its current iteration earned a 9/10. “The drastic improvements made to No Man’s Sky in its Beyond expansion are the new gold standard for how to gracefully cope with a game’s flaws post-release,” wrote reviewer Justin Clark.

Recently, 2K Sports announced that NBA 2K21 for PS5/Xbox Series X will cost $70 USD, which is a $10 price increase from the $60 USD that has been commonplace since the Xbox 360/PS3 era. Other publishers are expected to follow suit and raise prices for next-gen games, but the full picture has not yet become clear. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now commented on the matter, telling The Washington Post that he sees no problem with the price increase. Gamers will ultimately vote with their wallets, after all.

“As an industry, we can price things whatever we want to price them, and the customer will decide what the right price is for them,” Spencer said. “I’m not negative on people setting a new price point for games because I know everybody’s going to drive their own decisions based on their own business needs. But gamers have more choice today than they ever have. In the end, I know the customer is in control of the price that they pay, and I trust that system.”

Spencer declined to say if Microsoft’s own new games will cost $70 USD, but the situation at Xbox is somewhat different. With Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft offers a subscription service that gets you all first-party Xbox games for around $10 USD per month.

Since its 2005 debut to mixed reviews, Constantine, which cast Keanu Reeves as a demon hunter on a holy mission, has gained a cult following. The movie turned a small profit worldwide on a $100 million budget, and never got a follow-up. But the film’s director, Francis Lawrence, says that he’d still be keen–and so would Reeves.

Speaking to Slashfilm, Lawrence says that the whole team wanted to do a sequel, but it would have had to make some changes. “We wanted to make a responsible, more R-rated movie,” he says. “By responsible, I mean we’d make a movie that wouldn’t cost quite as much as the original, which we thought was going to be PG-13.”

Lawrence says that they worked on a sequel for a while, and says that the team has talked about it again recently. “Keanu, (producer Akiva Goldsman), and I have actually talked about it,” he says, clarifying that they talked “recently” about a sequel. But it’s complicated, as Constantine is a comic license that there might be other plans for.

Fans anticipating the perennially postponed Godzilla vs. Kong — the sequel to both Godzilla: King of Monsters and Kong: Skull Island — can now catch a glimpse of the movie via some sneak peek art spotted on the back of Playmates Toys’ figure packaging.

Pop open a Mountain Dew and do a kickflip over a guard rail because it’s time for WWE’s July PPV, Extreme Rules. However, unlike what was considered “extreme” during the ’00s, this event will feature some crazy stipulations, see competitors hit each other with weapons, and more. This year’s event has been branded “the Horror Show,” so expect the unexpected.

The PPV will be taking place at WWE’s Performance Center in Florida, as the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the company to stop performing in arenas in front of thousands of fans.

Start time:

• 4 PM PT
• 6 PM CT
• 7 PM ET
• 12 AM BST (July 20)
• 9 AM AEST (July 20)

If you’re looking to watch the event, you’ll have to sign up for the WWE Network. The streaming service allows users to watch old episodes of Raw, Smackdown, and more–including PPVs. Additionally, you can stream PPVs live, and it’s honestly the best way to watch them as you’re paying $10 a month compared to $35 and upward per PPV.
