The situation becomes particularly intriguing when it is revealed that many of the titles mentioned in the leak had not yet been publicly announced. Even more...
 

XBOX: 1,600 Layoffs Today, Another 1,600 Over the Next Year, Four Studios Now Independent or Sold, Arkane in Limbo

More broadly, Microsoft is cutting 4,800 jobs.

Today, Microsoft is laying off 2.1% of its workforce. This equates to 4,800 people that are being let go. The company's XBOX division is cutting about 20% of its entire workforce. All of this is being done in an effort to cut costs due to rising prices and expenses brought about by artificial intelligence (AI).

As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...
 

PlayStation is Killing Physical Game Discs

Digital only after January 2028.

Starting January 2028, Sony will no longer produce physical discs for new PlayStation game releases. All games released in January 2028 and after will be available only through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store.

Sony attempts to justify this move by claiming it's a "natural direction" in order to "adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs."...

Bungie Announces the End of Destiny 2

All good things...

Bungie is calling it quits on Destiny 2. The Sony owned Marathon developer announced the final live-service content update for Destiny 2. Today's announcement was a long time coming and one that most fans saw the writing on the wall for months ago.

That final content update for Destiny 2, Monument of Triumph, takes place on June 9, 2026. Bungie says that they will begin a "new journey as a studio" on that date with includes working on their...

    DICE Has No Time for Non-Battlefield Content

    It's Battlefield or bust for developer DICE.

    If you wanted something else from developer DICE, like maybe a new Mirror's Edge, you're going to have a long wait. In the here and now, DICE has no plans to make anything not-Battlefield related. In fact, it seems as though the studio is only focused on Battlefield 2042 at the moment.

    DICE vice president Rebecka Coutaz sat down with GI.biz in a new interview. Coutaz says that any projects that are not related to Battlefield...

    Schrödinger's development team.

    Depending on who you listen to and who you believe, either a "skeleton crew" is left working on Battlefield 2042 development, or the entire team at DICE is still working on the game.

    Back in April, the idea that there were only a handful of people left working on Battlefield 2042 started to circulate online. When asked how many people were still working on 2042, DICE game designer Frederik Drabert said that "almost everyone"...

It features a single new map, a single new Specialist, two new vehicles that are both helicopters, and a couple of new weapons.

    There is also a new Battle Pass. Rather, the first Battle Pass for the game is also coming. This pass will include a bunch of cosmetic items such as...

    Yes, 1.0. We're up to version 1.0 after the game has been out now for almost 200 days.

    Battlefield 2042 is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I mean that in the most condescending way possible here. Since Battlefield 2042 officially launched on November 19, 2021 it has received zero content updates while the team at DICE worked to make the game less of a steaming mess of a pile. The first season for the game is, at last, finally upon us and with it comes a rather anemic amount of...

Among those topics were some art passes coming to both maps and Specialists, adjustments to Specialist dialogue, changes to animations, and some of what is coming throughout the game's first season of content.

    To Nobody's Surprise Hazard Zone Support is Ending for Battlefield 2042

    This is the least shocking news ever.

    DICE announced that they are no longer going to support or release new content for the Hazard Zone mode in Battlefield 2042.

    Now, I know what you're thinking: "How could they end support for something that they never supported in the first place?" And you would be correct in asking that rhetorical question. What this essentially means is that DICE isn't going to convert any new maps into Hazard Zone variants. The mode will...

    DICE Says Battlefield 2042 Hovercraft Climbing is Removed in Update 4.0

    Truly, the end of an era.

    Prior to the release of Battlefield 2042, players discovered that the hovercraft was able to scale completely vertical surfaces. This led to situations that was sometimes amusing, sometimes frustrating, but always gravity defying.

    This, let's call it "exploit," went unchecked for months now. However, it seems as though the era of the gravity defying hovercraft is about to come to an end. A member of the DICE development team working...

    This milestone comes just five months after release.

    Player numbers for Battlefield 2042, at least those playing on Steam, have hit an all-new milestone today! Sadly, not all milestones are good. According to both SteamCharts and SteamDB, the concurrent player count for Battlefield 2042 fell below 1,000 players for the first time.

    SteamCharts showed as few as 979 players were on at once while SteamDB shows a slightly less grim count of 983 players.

    Battlefield 2042 Team Begins 'Core Feedback' System for Maps

    A new blogpost suggests DICE has some doubts about their 128-player count.

    Battlefield 2042 hasn't had what anybody would consider to be a "good" launch. Here we are, less than 4 months since release with a game that can't even get as many Steam players as Battlefield 4, a game that came out over eight years ago now. In terms of player count, Battlefield 2042's 24-hour peak Steam player count (2,090) sits behind Battlefield 4 (2,195), Battlefield 1 (7,498), and Battlefield...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
