Looks like Enotria: The Last Song will be coming to Xbox soon after all. After announcing an indefinite delay, the developers have announced they’ve gotten what they need to bring the game to Xbox “ASAP.”

Jyamma Games took to the internet on Monday to announce it had delayed the Xbox version of its game indefinitely because of a lack of communication with Microsoft for two months. “This task is nearly impossible with Microsoft taking months to reply to us when we have the game ready for submission,” a post on the studio’s X (formerly Twitter) account read. However, it iterated that it was still open to reversing that decision if it could get in touch with Xbox.

Thankfully, that seems to have happened. An X post from Wednesday states that the team is now in contact with Xbox thanks to head of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer and the community.

“We would like to officially thank Phil Spencer and his team for reaching out to us so promptly and helping to resolve our situation,” the post read. “We are now working closely with Microsoft, and we hope this collaboration will lead to the game’s release for Xbox as soon as possible.”

Jyamma CEO Giacomo “Jacky” Greco added on the game’s official Discord ahead of the X announcement that Xbox had contacted them to say “sorry about the situation.”

Community manager “Creatura” also clarified on the Discord that it’ll be difficult for Jyamma to meet the September 19 deadline for the Xbox version, but it’s not impossible. “We still lost some time trying to communicate with Xbox, so it will be hard to meet that deadline, but as soon as there’s a set-in-stone date ahead, we’ll make an announcement,” Creatura wrote.

Enotria is a Soulslike inspired by Italian mythology where players don “role-altering masks.” It’s coming to PlayStation 5 and PC on September 19.

Xbox is getting rid of its standalone Game Pass app

All of Xbox's mobile features will soon be under just one app. Microsoft announced Wednesday that it'll be moving Game Pass features into the regular Xbox app for beta users starting this week.

This signals the end of Xbox Game Pass app as a separate entity. Game Pass functionality, like searching the catalog or grabbing perks for Game Pass Ultimate members, will be in the main Xbox app. The move also means the Game Pass app will no longer be available for new download beginning in November.

The Cipher Series Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 comes in six different color options. The white Ghost Cipher is the most transparent-looking, but there are also Velocity Cipher, Astral Cipher, Surf Cipher, Candy Cipher, and Pulse Cipher, which are Xbox green, purple, blue, pink, and red, respectively. You can mix and match D-pad, button, joystick, and trigger colors, and get your own in the Design Lab. A base model will cost $150, and be wary of any add-ons that might up the price more than you'd like.

Xbox Game Pass’ new Standard tier is missing some big games

Players are digging into Xbox Game Pass now that the company has officially launched its new Xbox Game Pass Standard tier. However, they've discovered that it's missing quite a few noteworthy titles, including some that were already on the service before Xbox switched to its new payment structure.

Xbox published a post on September 10 marking the move, and explaining its new Game Pass plans in a succinct manner. Want to just use your Xbox for multiplayer? Grab Game Pass Core. Just want games on your PC? Get PC Game Pass. Game Pass Standard, arguably the most confusing new tier of the bunch when it was announced back in July, is for people who want to "level up [their] Xbox console gaming experience at a great value." It costs $15 per month compared to Ultimate's $20 per month (up from $17).
