Yesterday at the big Nintendo Direct presentation, we learned about two of the four Xbox games that Microsoft said would appear on “other consoles.” One of them Penitentiarycoming to Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PS5 today.

Employees ignored Musk’s directive to provide “full access to everything” to outsiders.
