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."...

Lord of Hatred Review: Diablo 4 Finally Finds Its Final Form

This is Diablo 4 at its best. I mean it this time. For real.

Returning to the world of Sanctuary for this latest chapter feels like a true homecoming for those of us who have spent hundreds of hours traversing its dark and unforgiving landscapes since the base game launched back in 2023. The release of the Lord of Hatred expansion marks a significant step forward in the narrative that was originally set in motion during the initial campaign and furthered by the events of the Vesse...

    Five Additional Specialists Revealed for Battlefield 2042

    New Specialists bring new abilities to the Battlefield.

    Love them or hate them, the Specialists are here to stay in Battlefield 2042. The recent beta for the game only featured four out of the ten Specialists that the game will launch with, which often made it seem like there was a lack of variety between players. Most people definitely gravitated towards the grapple hook after all.

    The other five Specialists were revealed today by DICE and they include: Constantin "Angel"...

    Battlefield 2042's Hazard Zone Sounds a Lot Like Ghost Recon Frontline

    Stop me if you've heard this one before.

    DICE and EA showed off the Hazard Zone gameplay mode today for Battlefield 2042. This mode, which will be included with the purchase of the base game, sounds familiar. Like, it sounds really familiar.

    The mode will have you inserting into a point on one of the base Battlefield 2042 maps as a squad of four. Once on the ground, you must locate and retrieve Data Drives that are scattered around the map. All the while you will be fighting...

This beta will officially end on October 10 at 7AM (UTC) or 12AM (PT).

    It must be stated again, because apparently this isn't clear to a lot of people playing the beta, that this beta is now several months old. There...

DICE is aware of them and have already noted a fair number of them in a new posting from PartWelsh on the official EA Answers HQ page.

    DICE to Take Hard Stance Against Battlefield 2042 Cheaters

    Cheaters and toxic players beware.

    DICE is already getting their banhammer ready for Battlefield 2042. In a new blog post that went up today, the studio laid out a bunch of new anti-toxic player policies and anti-cheat measures that they hope will result in a positive play environment.

    Part of DICE's commitment to this whole idea includes the ability to report players through an in-game menu. This has started to become more and more typical for multiplayer games like Battlefield...

    Battlefield 2042 PC Requirements

    Time to see if your PC is up to snuff.

    DICE, by way of the official Battlefield Twitter account, just revealed the minimum and recommended PC specs you will need for Battlefield 2042. Now, while they do specify that these are the requirements for the open beta, it's not hard to imagine that these will also be very close or identical to the specs you will need for the final game when it launches on November 19.

    Looking at the specs that they suggest, there are definitely...

    It's coming.

    DICE and EA finally lifted the lid on information concerning the upcoming open beta for Battlefield 2042. It has been a long time coming and it's great to finally get some news about this. I know the fanbase has been getting a little, let's just say antsy, with each day that passed by where we did not hear anything.

    In the latest Battlefield Briefing, the team announced that the Beta for Battlefield 2042 will run from October 6 through October 9. Specifically,...

    Battlefield 2042 is Delayed

    Looks like the rumors were true.

    F's in the chat, boys. It looks like Battlefield 2042 has been delayed. Thankfully, the delay isn't as quite as long as some other titles that have recently been delayed.

    Battlefield 2042 will now be released on November 19, 2021. The original release date was set for October 22, 2021. So, it's about a month delay. It's really not that bad in the grand scheme of things.

    We know that Irish will assume the role of an Engineer in the game, though his abilities may seem better suited for the Support class. He can put down small fortifications anywhere on the battlefield that will provide protection for himself...

    Battlefield 2042 Short Film 'Exodus' to Premiere on August 12

    A new short film is coming soon.

    DICE and EA were probably thinking: "How do we tell a story without having a single player story campaign?" The answer? Tell the story within the multiplayer component for Battlefield 2042. Oh, also let's make some short films based on the game that also provide some lore. A lot of games do this, including EA's own Apex Legends, so why wouldn't it also work for Battlefield?

    Anyway, there is a new short film coming on August 12...

  • 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...
