How does Untitled Goose Game co-op work?

Untitled Goose Game now lets two players control two geese at the same time. It’s the same levels as before, but friends can now team up and work together.

The new goose looks a little different than the original. You can tell them apart because the new one has a basal knob, which is a pretty noticeable bump on the base of a bird’s bill.

The co-op mode is local only. However, on certain platforms — like Steam’s Remote Play Together or PlayStation 4 Share Play — it’s possible to play over the internet with a friend through streaming.

On the Nintendo Switch, two players can play at the same time using the right and left Joy-Cons. On a computer, one player can use a mouse and a keyboard, and the other player can use a non-keyboard controller.

Where can I play Untitled Goose Game?

The game is currently available for PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and Itch.io.

There are two physical versions of the game available as well through Skybound Games and iam8bit.

Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Pass?

When Microsoft announced that it was acquiring Activision, the big question on everyone's mind was what would happen with Call of Duty. Well, it took months of legal battles, but the deal finally went through and the first CoD game to release officially under Microsoft is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Xbox has held firm to its commitment to put all of its first-party titles onto Game Pass on day one for all its subscribers, but is it honoring that deal for the biggest game of the year? We know it isn't an Xbox exclusive and is still cross-platform, after all. If you have an Xbox and a subscription to Game Pass, you might not need to spend any money on Black Ops 6, but only if you meet one specific requirement.
Is Black Ops 6 on Game Pass?

The short answer is yes, Black Ops 6 is on Game Pass, but not at every tier. Prior to Black Ops 6 launching, Xbox restructured its Game Pass tiers a bit with new pricing and benefits. What you need to know is that you now need to either be a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscriber to get access to any first-party day-one titles.

Alan Wake 2’s Lake House DLC takes cues from Annihilation and Alien

It’s been a wild 12 months for Remedy Entertainment. Last fall, the developer was riding high when it launched Alan Wake 2 to critical acclaim. Since then, the sequel has gobbled up awards and gotten more content, while Remedy itself has partnered with Annapurna to bring its franchises to the big screen. That whirlwind year is coming to an end, but not before one final victory lap. Alan Wake 2’s The Lake House expansion is out today, sending the horror game off in style.

It’s not just any expansion; it’s a crossover with Control that adds even more depth to Remedy’s shared game universe. Considering that all eyes are on Remedy these days, it’s a crucial link ahead of Control 2 and the series' upcoming spinoff shooter, FBC: Firebreak. Ahead of today’s launch, Digital Trends spoke with director Kyle Rowley and DLC lead writer Clay Murphy about the project and how it fits into Remedy’s ever-expanding world. The team explained the balancing act of bringing another franchise into Alan Wake 2 while also making something that feels like it's still part of that base experience.

It's October, which means it's Call of Duty season for Xbox and Activision. So expectedly, Xbox Game Pass' offerings for the second half of the month into November are all about Activision Blizzard.

October 25 is the big day for Call of Duty fans. The next entry in the shooter series, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, is hitting cloud, console, and PC for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. Modern Warfare 3, which was the first Call of Duty game added to the service in July, is also specifically coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming on October 25, along with Call of Duty Warzone.
