Limbo Coming to Xbox One

Microsoft announced that Limbo will be coming to Xbox One by giving the game away to early Xbox One adopters for free.

A spokesperson for Microsoft confirmed the game will be available for Xbox One owners who used their console on the first weekend after its launch as a "thank you" for early adopters. Microsoft also confirmed that the game will be available for all other Xbox One owners via the Xbox Game Store, but didn't pin down an exact time, instead promising the game will be available for purchase "soon."

Trials Evolution sets XBLA launch-day record

From Geometry Wars through Fez, Xbox Live Arcade has seen nearly seven years of weekly releases since the Xbox 360 launched in November of 2005, but none of those games had a bigger debut than this week's Trials Evolution. Microsoft Studios today revealed that the RedLynx motorcycle stunt game set a record for the highest-grossing first-day sales in Xbox Live history.

Launched on Wednesday, Trials Evolution sells for 1,200 Microsoft points ($15). A follow-up to 2009's million-selling Trials HD, the game sports 60 tracks spanning hills, valleys, rivers, and roads, as well as urban and industrial-type areas. The game supports four-player local and online play, as well as a track editor system and a means to share creations online.

Fox Broadcast Programming Coming To Xbox Live

A host of Fox content, from Fox News to Family Guy, will soon be available on Xbox Live.

Through a new partnership with News Corporation (the parent company of Fox TV), a host of Xbox Live apps will launch this year featuring a wide variety of content. The most high profile content is Fox television shows like Family Guy, House, New Girl, and Glee (though the press release did not specifically mention The Simpsons, we hope that show will be included as well).

You'll also be able to access content from other News Corporation outlets like IGN.com and The Wall Street Journal.

In related news, Microsoft also announced some new Xbox Live media deals in other territories including Canada (AstralMedia's Disney XD, Real Sports) and Germany (Mediathek/ZDF).
