HBO’s streaming service, HBO Go, has finally arrived as an app for Xbox One, according to Xbox Wire. The app has been available on Xbox 360 for some time. “Now, Xbox One users can get in on the action and Kinect with the very best HBO series and films on this innovative, state-of-the-art device,” HBO vice president of Digital Domestic Network Distribution Jeff Dallesandro said. Very punny, Jeff.

HBO Go gives access to the latest episodes of hit shows like True Detective, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and Girls the night that they air. It also includes an extensive back catalog of movies and classic series like The Wire, The Sopranos, and Sex and the City.

Currently HBO Go requires that you (or, more often than not, a friend of a friend of a friend) have a cable subscription to HBO. In 2015, however, the network will begin rolling out a standalone digital service. Game of Thrones broke records for digital piracy, so providing an easier way for cord-cutters to access the network’s critically-acclaimed content promises to bring in substantial new revenue.

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

Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows fighting an enemy. He's dressed in his samurai armor.

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.
