Something to look forward to: Xbox Game Pass was already a great deal, adding Doom Eternal to the expanding list of games only makes it better. Microsoft looks to take advantage of its purchase of Doom's publisher, Bethesda and likely won't be the last announcement of major Bethesda franchises hitting the service.

WD's 12TB external hard drive can store every title on Xbox Game Pass with room to spare

In a nutshell: The entirety of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service for the Xbox One can apparently fit on a single external hard drive with room to spare. While most people probably won't go through the trouble of downloading every single title, we now know it is possible with the right storage drive.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Review: One Massive Graphics Card
Best Buy reveals what it'll cost to expand your Xbox Series S | X storage

Why it matters: While Sony and Microsoft are poised to offer next-gen gaming experiences with their respective consoles, both companies' superfast custom SSDs - 825GB for the PS5, 1TB for the Series X, and a paltry 512GB for the Series S - won't stand a chance against the install sizes of modern and upcoming AAA titles, as well as massive game libraries of today's console players. Both Sony and Microsoft know this, which is why they've
TikTok files for injunction against upcoming Trump ban

TL;DR: With the deal between TikTok and Oracle/Walmart looking like no party can agree on terms, the app has filed for a preliminary injunction against the US ban set to start in a few days. The move comes after WeChat won a similar reprieve over the weekend.
