Tekken 8’s Xbox Game Pass Availability: What We Know So Far

Tekken is making a monumental comeback with its latest installment, Tekken 8. Fans of the series and newcomers alike are eagerly anticipating its release, slated for January 26, 2024. The game promises a roster brimming with iconic characters like King and Yoshimitsu, alongside fresh faces ready to challenge Kazuya’s G-Corp.

Tekken 8’s Debut on Xbox

Tekken 8 isn’t just launching; it’s making a grand entrance on the Xbox Series X/S. This move ensures that Xbox enthusiasts won’t miss out on the high-octane action that Tekken 8 brings to the table. With the game available for pre-order on the Xbox store, starting at $69.99, fans are already lining up to dive into the action.

The anticipation around the various editions of Tekken 8 is palpable, and you can find more details in our comprehensive breakdown.

Will Tekken 8 Join Xbox Game Pass?

The burning question on every gamer’s mind is whether Tekken 8 will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. Unfortunately, as it stands, Tekken 8 will not grace the Game Pass library immediately upon its release. This means that, for now, the only way to experience the latest chapter in the Tekken saga is through a one-time purchase.

However, there’s a glimmer of hope. The Xbox Game Pass is renowned for its ever-expanding library, often adding titles that initially launched with a price tag similar to Tekken 8. There’s a possibility that Tekken 8 might join the Game Pass lineup in the future, once the initial launch excitement has simmered down.

Twitch is not profitable, claims the CEO

Twitch is not profitable, claims the CEO

Twitch has been under fire for laying off over 500 staff and the CEO Dan Clancy has come out to defend the Amazon-owned streaming service.

Clancy has been very active on his Twitch channel lately where he addresses the doubts and concerns of the users after confirming that they have let go of 500 employees. He was attacked with a plethora of questions to which he revealed the financial condition of Twitch and that they have not been profitable in recent times.

Thanks to their parent company Amazon, a financial calamity has been avoided until now but factoring in the cost of running the companies and paying the streamers, they have not been able to see profit in 2023, when the total payout for the content creators amounted to a staggering $1 Billion.

“We’ve implied this before where we need to run it sustainably, but I’ll be blunt, we aren’t profitable at this point,” Clancy said. “Amazon has been extremely supportive of Twitch. A big thing for being sustainable over time is ensuring that we don’t lose money, and that’s a big part of my job, because that’s gonna be what makes sure we can be here for long-term.”

“So while the Twitch business remains strong, for some time now the organization has been sized based upon where we optimistically expect our business to be in three or more years, not where we’re at today. As with many other companies in the tech space, we are now sizing our organization based upon the current scale of our business and conservative predictions of how we expect to grow in the future.”

The company’s downsizing is solely because it failed to scale at the level it had hoped for. Twitch for the longest time had ruled the streaming industry but now they have serious competitors who are taking streamers away from them and as a result, the number of daily active users is suffering. As things stand, it is tough for the situation to turn around anytime soon and more employees might be shown the door.

Fortnite Avenged Sevenfold: Everything you need to know

Heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold has been linked with Fortnite for a collaboration since November and fans have been eagerly waiting for them to arrive in the game.

The wait is finally over as the band has announced that their collaboration with Epic Games is dropping on 12th Jan PT on X, albeit many assuming the wait to continue till the conclusion of this chapter which isn’t until early March. The announcement comes with a trailer that teases new maps but anything further is yet to be unveiled.

Despite the teaser, the specifics of the collaboration have been a well-kept secret and it will be difficult to assume what the developers have in store for us. From the trailer, it is safe to assume that we will get custom maps that sit right with the theme of the band but something along the lines of a live concert in-game or new music would be too farfetched to assume.

Avenged Sevenfold has been one of the era-defining bands of our time and Fortnite has a reputation for collaborating with big names. Fans love collaborations, not only does it take away the monotony from the game, but fresh content is a way to keep the players hooked.

Twitch employee fired after 6 years of service

Amazon has been notoriously famous for handing pink slips to their employees recently, and the popular streaming website Twitch, which Amazon owns, is no exception.

Twitch has been hosting million-dollar events and paying the streamers billions in total while being unable to retain their employees, which the community has criticized. Throughout 2023, Twitch has fired a large number of employees and the trend seems to have continued as we head into 2024. Firing employees on a large scale has tarnished their reputation as employers as we see LinkedIn flooded with painful stories of employees who were let go.

“Today I learned the difficult news that after 6 wonderful years, my time at Twitch has come to an end as I have been impacted by the recently announced layoffs impacting 35 percent of Twitch staff. The past six years have been the best years of my professional career due to the incredible growth and advancement I experienced and to the wonderful people I had the pleasure to work with.”

“As I look into the eyes of my three little ones that depend on me, I am overwhelmed by both the daunting task ahead and an overwhelming urge to pick up the pieces and press on. As my little girl innocently prayed this morning: please help us see a miracle,” posted an employee.

The CEO of Twitch has acknowledged that the company is going through a difficult situation and letting their employees go has been the hardest thing to do but he has assured that the business remains strong despite failing to reach the goals they originally set out to upon which the hiring was done.

The company’s downsizing is solely because they failed to scale at the level they had hoped for. Twitch for the longest time had ruled the streaming industry but now they have serious competitors who are taking streamers away from them and as a result, the number of daily active users is suffering. As things stand, it is tough for the situation to turn around anytime soon and more employees might be shown the door.
