The trailer displays what the new mode has to offer, featuring “the biggest map” the franchise has ever seen. The City will serve as a pseudo-open world for players to explore with their MyPLAYERs — offering quests and different boroughs to explore.

Xbox Series S Apparently Has 364 GB of Free Storage for Games
A Redditor by the name of spead20 claims to have received an Xbox Series S early and states that the system only offers 364 GB of free space after the operating system is installed. If true, this means the system devotes 148 GB of its total 512 GB to the OS, which is expected compared to how much free space was offered with the original Xbox One. Since we’re still a week out from release, we’ll have to wait until the system’s embargo lifts to know for sure, but this information seems legitimate. Get those external storage devices ready: You’re going to need them.
