Xbox Live's Major Nelson recently aired the latest "This Week on Xbox" episode, and it tells Microsoft console fans everything they need to know about the upcoming game releases in February.
Tom Clancy's The Division is one of the stars of the current "This Week on Xbox" episode. Xbox One owners get a tip on how they can play the closed beta of the game 24 hours early starting on Jan. 28: by preordering it. According to Major Nelson, that's the only way to beta-test the hyped-up game.
Halo 5: Guardians also features in the episode, so loyalists of the FPS will be happy to know what content the latest expansion brings to the Halo universe. Without giving away too much, we can say that two maps are packed within Infinity's Armory DLC, alongside numerous items and a few new armor sets. Arena players should enjoy the new Riptide map, while Warzone players will match their strengths on the Urban map.
Should you be curious about next month's Xbox February Preview System Update, Major Nelson's episode of "This Week On Xbox" dabbles into the subject, as well. Players can expect a few neat tweaks, such as seeing who is in a party before they join or choosing to hide games from the "Ready to Install" section.
A strong list of backward compatibility titles also appears in the episode. Buckle up your seat belts and get ready to play the following titles on Xbox One: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Soulcalibur and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
One final note in the episode is that users may easily redeem a code in the Xbox One Experience.
