23rd November Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing over the past few days.

Leaked Assassin’s Creed Shadows images have surfaced that appear to show a selection of free battle pass rewards for Ubisoft’s upcoming blockbuster.

We’re coming up to a year since Sea of Thieves launched its long-requested private servers, and with that first anniversary looming, Rare has announced it’s making some welcome changes, finally allowing players to earn full rewards while sailing in Safer Seas mode.
