The fate of the land is decided by the Eikons, mighty summoned beasts and their Dominants, men and women who have been blessed with the ability to call upon and wield them. This is the tale of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title "First Shield of Rosaria" and sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire. Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon known as Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.

The adventure begins before the base game's final battle, as strange, dark crystals begin to circulate on the black market. Players will follow Clive and company during their investigations as they encounter a group of suspicious traders, leading them to a long-abandoned Fallen tower known as the Sagespire and the terrible secrets that await within. The second, and final DLC chapter, "The Rising Tide," brings an all-new story, battles, sidequests, weapons, accessories, level cap and more, adding a new depth to Clive's journey before the exciting conclusion of FINAL FANTASY XVI. Players will gain new Eikonic abilities, explore a beautiful new area in the hidden land of Mysidia, and dive into battle against the legendary water Eikon, Leviathan the Lost. This DLC also adds brand new end-game content with the Kairos Gate, where players will challenge 20 stages of intense scored and ranked battles against waves of enemies.

The new trailer for Clockwork Revolution is a wild, extremely steampunk ride
To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Two years after it was first announced, we just got an extended trailer for inXile entertainment's Clockwork Revolution at the Xbox Games Showcase, and it looks kind of incredible — and completely over the top. (A man dubbed "The Knob" pisses his pants a minute and 56 seconds in, and someone else later gets cursed out by an automaton doll). Clockwork Revolution is a first-person steampunk RPG set in 1895 in a place called Avalon, which is ruled by the time-manipulating Lady Ironwood. As the customizable player-character Morgan Vanette, you'll have to use her own tactics against her to turn back time and undo the damage she's caused. As with all things time travel, the butterfly effect will be at play. The new trailer, which is over 5 minutes long, shows us this will be one with a lot of action and bloodshed (plus some brain -shed), and a good share of ridiculousness too. We still don't have a release date, though, just the assurance that it's "coming in due time." When it does eventually arrive, Clockwork Revolution will be available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox PC, Steam and Xbox Cloud. It'll also support Xbox Play Anywhere, and will be on Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox console games are suddenly showing up inside the Xbox PC app
Something strange is going on with Microsoft's Xbox app on Windows. Over the past few days, the Xbox PC app has started showing Xbox console games inside the library. While you can't install games like the original Alan Wake for Xbox 360, it shows up if you own it as part of the 'My PC Games' list inside the Xbox PC app. I don't believe this is a simple bug, but more the result of Microsoft's plans to more closely combine its Xbox and Windows stores. I wrote about this effort in March, when I revealed in Notepad that Microsoft is working with Asus on a Project Kennan handheld. 'It's part of a larger effort from Microsoft to unify Windows and Xbox towards a universal library of Xbox and PC games,' I wrote at the time. So, is xbox cooking??? That's my whole console library right there 👀 — Even When The Heart Stops, The Pain Lingers (@Gaming4all98) June 7, 2025 This effort also involves enabling Steam and Epic Games Store games to be visible in the Xbox PC app library. Microsoft accidentally revealed mockup images showing Steam games in the Xbox PC library earlier this year, and at the time sources familiar with the company's plans told me Microsoft was working on an Xbox app update that will show every game you have installed on your PC. Microsoft has also been working on making the Xbox app the home of PC gaming over the past year, and it has recently started referring to its Xbox PC app as simply 'Xbox PC.' This new branding first showed up in Microsoft's announcement of Gears of War: Reloaded, and a new gameplay trailer for MIO: Memories In Orbit also shows off the Xbox PC branding and logo that we're going to see whenever Microsoft wants to let PC players know the game is available on its Microsoft Store. Microsoft is also combining ' the best of Xbox and Windows together ' for handhelds, in changes that we should see later this year. Microsoft is in desperate need of a response to SteamOS, particularly as PC makers like Lenovo are starting to put SteamOS on their own handheld gaming PCs. All of these Xbox PC changes and the handheld work means we're probably close to seeing exactly how Microsoft lists additional games in the Xbox PC app. The big question will be whether Xbox console games will actually be playable on PC, and Microsoft may need to leverage its cloud infrastructure for that unless it has an emulation breakthrough ready to finally make the dream of playing old Xbox games on PC a reality.
