Back 4 Blood is coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one

Image Description

Back 4 Blood is coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one, Microsoft revealed at its E3 2021 showcase. With the game set to cost $59.99 / £59.99 / AU$79.99 for the standard edition, it’s a hefty saving for those who subscribe to Microsoft’s service. 

The game is a cooperative first-person shooter made by the creators of the Left 4 Dead series, and pits you and three other players against hordes of undead known as the Ridden. You’ll need to rely on a quick trigger finger, your characters’ unique abilities and your teammates if you’re to survive the onslaught.

Back 4 Blood developer Turtle Rock has also revealed the game will support cross-play, which means no matter which platform you play the game on, you’ll be able to team up with your friends. 

Having the game as part of Xbox Game Pass is a boon for the new title, as it means it will be available to over 18 million subscribers the day it launches. For an online multiplayer game, that can make all the difference when it comes to establishing a healthy player base.

We’re expecting to see more Back 4 Blood’s PvP (player versus player) mode during the PvP Showcase presentation, which takes place today, June 12, at 2pm PT / 10pm BST / 7am AEST. You can watch it on Twitch.

Back 4 Blood will be released on October 12, 2021 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC. An open beta for the game is set to take place on August 12, and those who pre-order will get early access on August 5.

  • New WhatsApp app for Windows 11 fixes some of its biggest problems

    A beta version of the new WhatsApp app is now available to download, after what seems like forever, and if brings some brilliant new features. Being a UWP app means that the same app can run on not only Windows 10 and Windows 11, but also Xbox consoles.

    It is important to note that this UWP app is different to the existing WhatsApp desktop app. For starters, it is available to download from the Microsoft Store, and this is where future app updates will be handled as well.

    If you're looking for a reason to make the switch from the desktop app to the UWP version, the fact that this new release uses fewer system resources is very attractive. Despite being classed as a beta version, the app seems stable and reliable.

    Shiny and new

    What can you expect from this latest release? Although it's not yet complete, there are already lots of features to explore. For many people the highlight will be multi-device support. This means that it is possible to use WhatsApp to chat with others without the need to have your phone to hand – in fact, your phone doesn't even need to be connected to the internet.

    Other key features include video calling, a new look complete with Windows 11's transparent acrylic effects, and incredibly fast launch times. Perhaps the most useful feature of this new app is the way notifications work.

    As this is a UWP app, background syncing is available, and this means that notifications will appear even when the app is not open.

    There is a lot to love in the new WhatsApp, and this is a beta version that is still undergoing development so, with feedback from users, it is going to improve further and gain even more features in the future.

    If you're interested in trying out the app, you can download it from the Microsoft Store here.
