Frontier Developments and Microsoft Studios’ ScreamRide, a roller coaster building and destruction simulator announced earlier in 2014, arrives exclusively for Xbox on March 3, 2015, according to Xbox Wire.

The game gives you the same construction tools as the developers, that you can use to build every aspect of a theme park, including rides and other structures. You can build, ride, and then cleverly destroy the roller coasters of your dreams. A powerful physics engine encourages creativity as you construct Rube Goldberg-ian systems of fun and chaos. The horror of onlookers is quantified into a score that can be compared to your peers via global leaderboards.

Assassin’s Creed Infinity has a new name and no microtransactions

Ubisoft quietly confirmed new details on Assassin's Creed Infinity, a hub that's set to launch alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, on the franchise's official Reddit on Friday. It not only revealed that Animus Hub would be the official name, but that the rewards would be free.

The post was in response to a datamined leak (since taken down via DMCA request) that purportedly revealed a lot of information about the Animus Hub and how it would integrate with Assassin's Creed Shadows. Along with revealing the new name, we learned that the Animus Hub would include a battle pass with cosmetics that can be purchased with Isu Coins, the in-game currency. This led to people assuming that there would be microtransactions involved.
