Apple said it “monitors and investigates fraudulent activity on the App Store, and utilises sophisticated tools and technologies to weed out bad actors and help strengthen the App Store ecosystem.”

Ubisoft’s latest shooter is looking to break into the very competitive free-to-play market with XDefiant. This is a third-party studio that very rarely releases any of its games on a single platform, and a multiplayer shooter like this needs to be available in as many places as possible to succeed. However, if it doesn’t have cross-platform support, then it might as well be exclusive since the player base will be split regardless.

All Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 achievements
Ever since the Xbox 360 introduced the idea of Achievements, every game on the platform has included them. These tasks help show off how many games you play, but also your commitment to do and see everything in a specific game.
