This week we have not only visited Chernobyl with STALKER 2, a game that has already sold a million units, but we have also been able to travel anywhere in the world Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Both games are available on Game Pass. On the other hand, we have The Rogue Prince of Persia, Need for Speed ​​Unbound and Star Wars Outlaws enjoying their latest updates, while Path of Exile II has detailed all the content it will offer when it is available through early access.

The cloud has also been the protagonist. On the one hand, PlayStation Portal is now capable of streaming PS5 games through the cloud, and on the other Game Pass Ultimate has enabled the streaming in the cloud of the titles available in the user's library. For now the list is limited to 50 names. Leaving software aside, the big news of the week has been discovering that Sony is negotiating the purchase of Kadokawa, a move that would allow it to take over FromSoftware and Elden Ring as well as strengthen its position in the anime and manga market.

On the Internet, the Series Yonkis case closes after 16 years with the acquittal of those responsible. In the same section we talked about the US Department of Justice's request to force Google to sell Chrome (and perhaps spin off Android), while WhatsApp has activated audio transcription.
