Happy Friday! On today's Daily Fix, Sydnee will be going in-depth on one of gaming's greatest modern mysteries. Former Rockstar dev, Leslie Benzies, has been working on an ambitious new game that has been cloaked in secrecy, despite the community that has sprung up around it. What we can piece together from patents is that Everywhere will be a multiplayer open-world title set in the near future. Players will be able to buy their own in-game goods such as vehicles and other objects and create content such as minigames. If this sounds a bit like Grand Theft Auto Online to you, it's because Benzies is considered one of the masterminds behind GTA V's sprawling online offshoot. And lastly, 343 Industries developers have revealed that Halo Infinite will be missing a few fan-favorite features from entries past.

On today’s Daily Fix, now that Microsoft and Bethesda are one, we’ve got some answers about the various Zenimax titles hitting Game Pass. But it seems with all those answers, Phil Spencer has raised more questions about new franchises such as Starfield, and the future of beloved series like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. Loop Hero, the addictive endless RPG from Four Quarters and Devolver Digital has hit the ground at a sprint, with half a million copies sold in one week. And finally, we hope you weren’t TOO excited about the return of EA Sports College Football, because you might be waiting just a bit longer for the next installment.

Today on the Daily Fix, Denuvo’s anti-cheat software has landed on PS5. The contentious software from Irdeto, usually used on PC games, will now be available for games hitting the PlayStation 5, offering a way for developers to “protect their investment” and filter out would-be cheaters. Overwatch players on Xbox Series S and X will now enjoy a few upgrades, as Blizzard has quietly rolled out a few graphical improvements to the hero shooter. Players can switch between different graphics modes, offering either higher frame rates or resolution, taking advantage of the horsepower Microsoft’s latest consoles bring to the table. And finally, game devs give us a peek at how nightmarishly difficult adding something as simple as a door to your favorite games can be.

On today’s Daily Fix, Bethesda has officially become part of the Xbox family. With Microsoft’s acquisition of Zenimax, studios such as Bethesda, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango GameWorks, and more now fall under the Xbox banner. Sydnee will speculate on just what that will mean for certain games moving forward in terms of exclusivity. Will some old favorites be locked to Xbox Series X and PC? Will new franchises such as Starfield be kept as exclusives? And finally, we’ll be giving you a short how-to, to score 4 months of Game Pass Ultimate for 29.99!

Today on the Fix, police are saying "welcome to the Gulag" to a prison escapee who has been captured after trying to purchase the latest Call of Duty. The person in question had been on the run since November, in the UK. He was apprehended while picking up CoD: Black Ops Cold War, in an effort to curb his lockdown boredom. Xbox's Director of Program Management, Jason Ronald, has made clear that unannounced Xbox games are coming in 2021. We still don't know just where those games will be coming from, and if they will be released by some of the studios acquired by Microsoft. Speaking of Microsoft's recent acquisitions, The Microsoft-Bethesda acquisition has taken very large steps towards completion with the SEC and European Commission approving the move. This doesn't mean the merger is final, however, but once Microsoft clears the next steps, Bethesda Game Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango GameWorks, and more will fall under the Microsoft banner.

Happy Friday! On today’s Daily Fix, ever wonder what an endangered space bird tastes like? No? You’re going to find out anyway!

Diablo 2 isn’t the only thing being resurrected, as your 20-year-old saves will reportedly be compatible with the newly remastered edition of the game. As long as you still have access to those files, you’ll be able to experience your old “Hammerdin” build in beautiful HD when the remastered collection drops for PC, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. And finally, the Outriders demo is getting a patch to help bring more balance to loot drops. This comes after players found an exploit, allowing them to farm rare items.

Today on the Daily Fix, GTA V will be a whole new experience on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive, has recently stated that the updated release of Grand Theft Auto V will be more than just a port, and will feature improvements to the technology and experience that take advantage of newer consoles. More rumors have begun to swirl around Nintendo’s next iteration on the Switch, citing a brand new Samsung-produced OLED screen. And finally, if you were planning on visiting Super Nintendo World in Florida, you’ll be waiting quite a bit longer. The Super Mario-themed park won’t be open for the next few years.

On Today’s Daily Fix, Sony is back at it again with the… creative patents for their peripherals.

But that’s not all, as Sony has treated fans to a slew of new PSVR trailers! There’s something for all kinds of fans, with a VR remake of Doom 3, the VR MMO Zenith, and more. If taking on demons or MMO’s aren’t your thing you can get crafty with the survival game, Song in the Smoke, or the new virtual reality FPS, Fracked! And lastly, Epic has acquired Mediatonic, the developer behind the wildly popular Fall Guys!

On today's Daily Fix, Sony is quietly removing the PlayStation Store's least popular feature, the ability to rent and purchase movies and tv shows directly on the platform. In the latest PlayStation blog, Sony alludes to more popular streaming services that are also available on the PS4 and PlayStation 5 as a reason for this move. Destiny 2 bugs have been known to either break the game's economy or provide a whole lot of fun for fans, and this latest D2 glitch is one of the latter. Players have found a way to merge fireteams when entering a raid activity to play through them with 12 guardians in one instance. Fans are making their enjoyment of this latest bug known to Bungie, in the hopes that they can integrate 12 player play into the game officially. And finally, Sydnee's got the low-down on the CW's Superman and Lois! Will Clark keep his identity a secret from his kids? Will Lois be able to keep her journalism career alive in Smallville? Make sure to tune in to find out!
