Ubisoft is emailing Far Cry 6 owners with a roundup of their playtime so far - prompting a mixed response from some fans. The email, written in the style of the game's villain El Presidente, is essentially a message meant to goad player character Dani Rojas back into action. "Hola, Rojas. I wanted to thank you for giving me free rein in Yara," the email teases. "Take it easy, and know that Yara is in capable hands." The email goes on to question: "Surely you can do better than this," before listing a set of custom player stats such as time played and total kills. The email gathered visibility yesterday afternoon after being posted to Twitter by GamesIndustry.biz managing editor Brendan Sinclair. The message's tone, coupled with a play count of just three hours, gave the appearance that Ubisoft was singling out someone for abandoning the game quickly. A lot of games are already ruthlessly designed to maximize engagement, but now they email and hassle you if you dare to stop …

Deathloop Is On Sale For $40 For PS5 And PC
Deathloop is one of the best games of the year. It earned a rare 10/10 in our Deathloop review and is most definitely a must-play title on PS5 and PC. Though it just launched last month, those who have held out on picking it up have a great opportunity right now. Deathloop is on sale for $40 for both PS5 and PC at multiple retailers.

Overwatch Patch Notes Include McCree’s New Name, Bug Fixes, And More
The latest update for Blizzard's enduringly popular hero shooter Overwatch has arrived. Perhaps the biggest change is that the hero McCree is now named Cole Cassidy. Blizzard made the change because McCree's namesake was ousted from the company amid the sexual harassment and discrimination case at Activision Blizzard. Cole Cassidy is the same hero as McCree, just with a new name. Going forward, Blizzard said it will not name new characters after Blizzard employees. The company also vowed to "be more thoughtful and discerning about adding real-world references in future Overwatch content." Elsewhere, the patch fixes a bug that could cause players to not receive full credit for their matches when playing Junkenstein's Revenge. There are some hero-specific changes, too, as Brigitte gets a fix for a bug that could cause her mac chain to appear as the wrong color, while D.Va had a bug that caused the Black Cat skin to be missing a certain decal. You can see the full patch notes …
Ubisoft Stockholm is working on a new IP which may be a sci-fi action game
Ubisoft Stockholm, the new studio which was initially formed to help out on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora , is working on an unannounced new game franchise of its own. The studio recently directed interested candidates to apply to 27 different roles related to its unannounced new intellectual property, and while the details are still scarce, the job listings provide a little more information about what the new project will be. For instance, the "lead game designer action/combat" role notes that "significant experience as a game designer on AAA action games" would be a plus, which - together with the title of the role itself - strongly indicates this will be a big-budget action game with an emphasis on combat. The animation/engine programmer role specifies that the position "will be part of creating a new animation system and legacy," and that "there is none today" - all of it's going to be made from scratch for this project. In other words, its base level animation and …

Xbox’s Vision For 2042 Is 32K Resolution, 480FPS Gameplay
2042 sure does seem like a long time from now, but Microsoft seems adamant that Xbox will still exist then. In partnership with EA to promote Battlefield 2042, the company has released a "trailer" for Xbox 21 years in the future, and it sure does look fancy. "Imagine a gaming experience indistinguishable from reality," Microsoft threatens in the video. We see footage of a variety of potential games, including a military shooter, cowboy game, and a football game, and it says the whole experience is "powered by quantum technology" and supports "1 quintillion floating-point operations per second."
