In today's Daily Fix:
In the fallout of the studio closures accross Bethesda this week, critical darling Hi-Fi Rush is getting review bombed on Steam. Don't freak out, it's a positive review bomb. Not sure if there's a word for that yet. As of the posting of this episode, the game has over 21,000 user reviews, the majority of them being overwhelmingly positive. This makes the game the highest rated Microsoft or Bethesda game on Steam ever. In related news, Microsoft's no good very bad PR week continues as Xbox president Sarah Bond responded to questions about the decision to shutter several game studios this week. Bond insisted the decision was about ensuring the Xbox business stays healthy and that the industry as a whole is suffering from a "lack of growth." Needless to say, this did not go over well with fans, who pointed to previous comments about Hi-Fi Rush meeting the company's metrics for success both financially and critically, and the studio still getting shut down. And finally, in some positive news, hit indie game Animal Well is doing well, and players are just discovering a puzzle that needs at least 50 players to complete. Well, the community is coming together for this one, and looks like it'll be solved soon.

Star Wars Outlaws Release Date Revealed Alongside New Story Trailer - IGN Daily Fix: In today's Daily Fix: Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws finally has a release date to go along with a slick new story trailer. The game will be out August 30th, right after Black Myth Wukong on August 20th, and STALKER 2 on September 5th.
