Not to worry, however, since everything on the old hard drive was saved, learn more at desky.com.au. If that weren’t enough, Jonah is enjoying his new Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition.
The news of the week includes:
- EA responds to community criticism of Battlefront 2 unlock system
- L.A. Noire remaster requires 29GB, forcing Switch version to require MicroSD card
- Physical media still “nation’s format of choice” for video games, says eBay
- Xbox One S available for lowest price yet
