Revenge of the Savage Planet director isn’t happy with the sequel’s revenue, despite it bringing in millions of players on Xbox Game Pass: ‘If you give stuff for free, what you’ve done is told people not to pay for it’

Revenge of the Savage Planet, released in May, received a Very Positive rating on Steam and an 81% review score, but has not achieved significant financial success despite over a million players. Creative director Alex Hutchinson expressed concerns that the influx of players through Game Pass has negatively impacted revenue, as the attach rate for the expansion pack among Game Pass users is low compared to those who purchased the game outright. He noted that players conditioned to expect free content are less likely to pay for additional content. Hutchinson described the current gaming landscape as a "race to the bottom," exacerbated by subscription services and discounts. While some industry voices, like Mike Rose, see benefits in visibility and sales from Game Pass, others, including former Xbox VP Pete Hines, agree that high adoption rates may reduce retail revenue. Microsoft acknowledged a significant revenue loss related to including Black Ops 6 in Game Pass, which contributed to a price increase for the service.

Opus Major, a Paris-based studio founded by former Ubisoft professionals, is developing a massively multiplayer online player-versus-environment musical adventure game called MAJJAM, which is currently in early development and will launch on PC via Steam.

MAJJAM emphasizes music as the core of gameplay, allowing players to engage in a cooperative adventure where they use rhythm and melodies to interact with the environment and each other. Players combat a corruptive force known as Kode by utilizing musical energy through a mechanic called "Jamming," which encourages creativity and collaboration among players, regardless of their musical expertise. Each character has a unique Jam ability enhanced by musical powers that can be unlocked and collected. Key features include an inclusive jamming experience, a dynamic world that evolves based on player input, a fog system representing Kode that limits exploration, and customizable characters with distinct musical capabilities.

Peak review

Peak is a cooperative climbing game developed by Landcrab and published by Aggro Crab, set to launch on June 16, 2025, priced at .99 / £6.39.

Players can find food and climbing gear throughout the map, but some food items may cause debuffs. The game emphasizes teamwork, with players assisting each other during challenges like snowstorms and diverse biomes. Solo play lacks the dynamic interactions of multiplayer, making it feel isolating. Peak features responsive controls and satisfying gameplay mechanics.
