An exact release date for Xbox One has yet to be announced, but Microsoft said at E3 that it will arrive in November. Last week, Microsoft also confirmed that Xbox One will only launch in 13 markets.
Good news, Origin customers – as a gesture of goodwill, EA has launched a new initiative offering timed refunds for EA published games bought on its digital distribution system.
‘The Origin Great Game Guarantee’ will offer a full refund to PC and Mac customers dissatisfied with any EA game within 24 hours of launching it, within seven days from purchase, or within the first seven days after the game’s release date if you pre-ordered it, whichever comes first.
According to the Great Game Guarantee F.A.Q, the refund process is very simple. “Just visit your order history and click the “request a refund” link next to your recent purchase, answer a few quick questions, and we’ll take it from there.”
Right now, the service understandably excludes third-party titles, but EA stresses this could change in the future. “We’re continuing to explore how we can expand the program over time in with games from other publishers and developers,” the F.A.Q reads.
The Great Game Guarantee is effective starting today in 20 countries. To see if your country is eligible and to check out the fine print, here’s the info posted on Origin’s website. And hey, while you’re at it, why not check out EA’s awesome humble bundle deal and donate some money to charity?
Details about Peggle 2 may have been scarce at EA’s E3 press conference, but as part of Microsoft’s Gamescom presentation today, the company confirmed that the much-anticipated sequel will be coming first to Xbox One.
Additionally, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will also be a timed-exclusive for Xbox One.
Peggle 2 release gameplay details and date information remains unknown.
Today at Microsoft’s Gamescom showcase, the company confirmed that the Xbox One iteration of Tom Clancy’s The Division will be getting exclusive content. Unfortunately, Microsoft didn’t elaborate on what that exclusive content will be, apart from The Division’s already-known Smartglass functionality.
As was the case with The Division at E3, there was a focus on Smartglass, Microsoft’s tablet companion primarily geared towards Xbox. As we already knew, players on Smartglass can join games and assist a squad, helping to change the outcome of a match. With a top-down, RTS-like view on Smartglass, players can receive buffs, highlight opponents on the map, send in air strikes, and more.
Tom Clancy’s The Division is slated to come out in late 2014 on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
