Marvel’s Avengers is one of the most anticipated games of E3 2019, and while it’s yet to be fully revealed, we’ve now learned one further detail about the game: it’s coming to Google Stadia, in addition to PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The news was revealed by the game’s official Twitter account. It tweeted an image of a large poster advertising the game at the LA Convention Center–the venue for E3–and on that poster, the four platforms can be seen. A notable omission, however, is Nintendo Switch, so it seems as if the Avengers game will not be coming to Nintendo’s hybrid console.

Marvel’s Avengers is the first chapter in a multi-game partnership between the comic book titan and Square Enix. The initial trailer confirmed that the world it is set in hasn’t been too kind to superheroes–perhaps they’ve even been demonized. “They say the time of heroes is over,” a narrator says in the original teaser trailer. “That if you’re different, you’re dangerous. But I know the truth. The world will always need heroes. We just need to reassemble.”

Square Enix has said Avengers “is being designed for gamers worldwide and will be packed with all the characters, environments, and iconic moments that have thrilled longtime fans of the franchise.” The game is being developed by Crystal Dynamics, the studio behind the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot and its sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider.

FIFA 20’s announcement and the subsequent reveal of the FIFA Street-style Volta mode has got fans excited for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC game, but EA has dampened the buzz for the Nintendo Switch version of the game by saying it lacks “any of the big new features.”

In an interview with Eurogamer, EA confirmed the Switch port of FIFA 20 will be a legacy edition. Explaining what this means, executive producer Aaron McHardy said, “You’re gonna get a fresh new look in Switch, with kits and player lists and all of that.” However, he went on to say “you’re not going to be getting Volta or any of the big new features.”

Not all of FIFA 20’s new features have been detailed thus far, but EA has explained a number of the gameplay changes it’s making–particularly with regards to passing, shooting, and set pieces–in addition to revealing Volta.

That mode “takes football back to the streets with the authentic culture, creativity, and style of the small-sided game,” EA says. It appears to be an exclusively small-sided match mode, meaning you’ll play with teams of between three and five, as opposed to the regulation 11.

It contains a number of sub-modes, each of which is playable with male or female avatars. Volta World allows you to “build up your squad,” for example, while Volta Story will see you take on the role of one player through a scripted narrative, similar to The Journey from previous editions of FIFA. Additionally, you can “take your favorite professional teams to the streets in Volta Kick-Off” or “play through Promotion and Relegation in the online Volta League.” Match variants include 3v3 Rush, 4v4, 4v4 Rush, 5v5, and Professional Futsal, where “rush” indicates a game mode that excludes goalkeepers.

The Switch port of FIFA has always been a little pared back compared to the PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions, but this is the first time EA has described the Nintendo version as a Legacy edition. The publisher has attached “Legacy edition” to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions for a number of years now to indicate the game is largely unchanged, save for cosmetic tweaks such as the new season’s kits.

Our FIFA 19 Nintendo Switch review awarded the port a 5/10. We called it “a playable, competent game of football encased in a package of outdated modes and lacking the controls and features you really want.”

Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference is still a few hours away, but ahead of the big event Microsoft has made Game Pass Ultimate available to everyone.

The service was previously only available to those in the Xbox Insider Program. Ultimate differs from the standard Game Pass by giving you access to hundreds of games and an Xbox Live Gold subscription for a single price. You can currently sign up on the Microsoft store and get the first month for only $1/£1. The service usually costs $14.99/£10.99, and purchasing an Ultimate plan will automatically upgrade any existing Game Pass and Gold subscriptions.

Earlier today, Microsoft announced the price for Game Pass on PC. While the current Game Pass service offers access to both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC games, this new service will be curated specifically for PC, offering a lower price point for those who aren’t interested in the Xbox One side of things.

Game Pass Ultimate encompasses both platforms, and with new games rumoured to be added during E3, now is an ideal time to sign up or upgrade.

Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference takes place Sunday, June 9. It begins at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST (6 AM AET on June 10). You can watch the event live here on GameSpot or follow our Xbox liveblog. With Microsoft teasing a next-gen Xbox “Scarlet” console, it should be an interesting show.

Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference doesn’t start for another few hours, but one piece of information has already emerged. A page on the company’s website, seemingly live before it was scheduled to go public, has revealed the price of Xbox Game Pass for PC.

A month’s subscription will cost $5 / £4 / AU $5, the page says, while there is currently no option to subscribe for a year. That puts the monthly price for the PC subscription at approximately half that of the Xbox One version of Game Pass, which is $10 / £8 / AU $11.

The page also reveals a small selection of games that will come to Xbox Game Pass for PC. Xbox console exclusives such as Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, and Forza Horizon 4 are listed, with more–Gears 5, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps–stated to be “coming soon” to the service.

Although it shares a name with the Xbox One version, Microsoft has stated the PC Game Pass library will be curated separately. The company calls it “a new experience that we are building together with the PC community.” More details will be shared during Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference.

When the service was announced last month, Microsoft said it will give subscribers access to a curated library of more than 100 PC games on Windows 10, representing publishers like Bethesda, Deep Silver, Devolver Digital, Paradox Interactive, and Sega. The company also committed to including new releases from Xbox Game Studios on the PC version of Game Pass on the day of release, just like the Xbox One service. The library will add new games every month. Game Pass members can also permanently purchase the games at up to a 20% discount in the Microsoft Store, and 10% off DLC.
