Xbox One Weekly Recap: August's Games With Gold, No Man's Sky Update, More

Now that SDCC 2018 has come and gone, this week's Xbox One news focuses more on what's coming with all new reveals, updates, and plenty of industry buzz.

This week we saw all new trailers for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, NBA Live 19, NHL 19, Destiny 2, and Soul Calibur 6. The next iteration of Halo has some buzz too, as Microsoft added a co-developer this week and hasn't revealed if Halo Infinite will be compatible with Xbox Play Anywhere just yet. In Fortnite news, Playground Mode is back, and the game is getting its own line of Funko pops. No Man's Sky, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege also saw updates this week.

In industry news, EA might have its own battle royale title in the works after the success of Fortnite--a game that's now earning $2 million on mobile per day. The designer behind No Man's Sky has admitted that he made some mistakes. Summer is coming to a close soon, but the sales are not. Xbox's Ultimate sale is still happening with deals on over 700 titles. Make sure to check out the deals section to see where you can save your precious dollar bills.
