Ubisoft Pulls Licenses for The Crew, Makes the Game Completely Inaccessible to Buyers

From the same company trying to sell you a $130 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

From announcing a $130 edition of Star Wars Outlaws to pulling game licenses from those that bought The Crew, Ubisoft sure is on a roll this week.

The Crew was Ubisoft's open-world racing game that was pulled from sale back in December 2023. As of March 31, 2024, Ubisoft shut down the online servers for The Crew. This effectively made the game unplayable across all platforms, including: PC,...
 

Tim Sweeney Called Valve 'Assholes' in Email to Gabe Newell, Valve COO Says 'You Mad Bro?'

Tim Sweeney is always mad.

The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...
 

900 People Laid Off Across Multiple PlayStation Studios

Multiple studios across all SIE regions impacted.

Sony just laid off about 900 people across multiple PlayStation studios around the world. These 900 or so laid off employees account for roughly 8% of the total workforce for Sony Interactive Entertainment.

President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Jim Ryan, announced the layoffs to the public today. The public statement came after an email was sent to all employees informing them of the layoffs. From Ryan's...
 

Xbox Confirms PlayStation 5 Releases, Diablo 4 on Game Pass, and Future Hardware Plans

No, Starfield and Indiana Jones are not going multi-platform any time soon.

The heads of Xbox stayed true to their word and were indeed a part of a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast. During today's pre-recorded podcast and subsequent blog post, head of Xbox Phil Spencer stated that four Xbox exclusives are going to be multi-platform releases. Is it Starfield? Indiana Jones? Gears of War? Halo?! No, no, no, and no. Though Spencer did not specify what those four titles ...
 

Embracer Lays Off 97 Employees from Eidos; Cancels New Deus Ex

Embracer's rampage continues.

Eidos-Montreal, a development studio currently under the Embracer umbrella, made the sad announcement that employees at the studio were being laid off. Eidos took to social media to confirm that 97 people have been let go "from development teams, administration, and support services".

The studio says that "global economic context, the challenges of our industry, and the comprehensive restructuring announced by Embracer have...

    Fix for Battlefield 2042 Steam 'Validation' Issue

    This workaround could help Steam users get into the game.

    Following today's Season 6: Dark Creations update for Battlefield 2042, most Steam players have run into a bit of a snag. When attempting to launch Battlefield 2042, Steam will attempt a "Validation" step for the game instead of launching the game. Once completed, the game will still fail to launch and kick off another "Validation" step.


    It seems that a workaround to this issue lies not...

There will also be a bunch of cosmetic items offered through the Season 6 Battle Pass, which again offers both a free track and a Premium track if you spend a bit of cash (or have enough Coins saved from previous season passes).

    The reveal trailer for the sixth season of Battlefield 2042 is here. Season 6 is called "Dark Creations" and it involves... zombies? It seems like it involves zombies. Whatever the case is, we'll find out more soon because Season 6: Dark Creations is set to launch on October 10th for all platforms.

    Battlefield 2042 to Utilize New EA Anticheat in Season 6

    A new anti-cheat has entered the battlefield.

    Electronic Arts just announced that they are working on implementing their own anti-cheat (or anticheat), into their current and upcoming multiplayer titles. Much like the simply named EA app, EA's new anticheat is called EA anticheat. Yes, that lack of capitalization is correct and slightly frustrating to look at.

    The Battlefield 2042 team at DICE says that come the launch of Season 6 in October, the game will switch over...

    Battlefield 2042: Redux is a Month of Returning Content Ahead of Season 6

    Season 6 delayed, so here is some old content you may like instead.

    DICE announced today that they have had to push Season 6 for Battlefield 2042 back by a month. That means Season 6 will now be out in October instead of September as initially planned. That also means that there is now a gap between the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6.

    That's where Battlefield 2042: Redux comes into play. This interim season will bring back those limited-time modes from previous...

    Plus new attachments for legacy weapons, better squad management, and more.

    DICE just shared what fans can expect in the upcoming Update 5.2 for Battlefield 2042. The highlights of this update include the long-awaited rework for Hourglass, attachments for All-Out Warfare SMGs and LMGs, better squad management, improvements to ammo crates, and some tweaks to all SMGs and LMGs.

    Once Update 5.2 is out, which will happen during the week of July 31st, this will make for a promised...

    Squads in Battlefield 2042 to Improve in Next Update

    Revolutionary new ideas still being added to Battlefield 2042.

    When DICE "improved" the squad system in Battlefield 2042, they left a lot to be desired. I cannot even remember what exactly they did to improve it, but those improvements still failed to give much of any control to how your squad functions in the game. You were unable to lock your squad. You also couldn't kick anybody from the squad if, for example, a vacant slot fills with a random after your friend's game...

    DICE details the new update plus a special July event.

    Details on Update 5.1.0 for Battlefield 2042 were shared, though the update itself will not drop until the first week of July. A specific release date for this update was not offered, but it can probably be assumed that it will be out in the first half of next week.

    Update 5.1.0 looks to be more of a fine-tuning and fixes update for existing content. The update notes for 5.1.0 also include yet another teaser for the...

    Double XP and more for everyone!

    Apparently, ever since Season 5 of Battlefield 2042 launched this past week, there have been issues with player stats not updating. These are the stats you can see under your Player Profile and include information like your K/D ratio, win rate, weapon and gadget statistics, and more.

    The Battlefield 2042 team at DICE took note of the issue and have deployed a fix for the broken stat tracking. The bad news is that they have to roll back...

    Battlefield 2042 Season 6 Announced

    Surprise!

    It seems as though DICE and EA pulled a fast one on all of us. Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn was supposed to be the fifth and final season for the futuristic multiplayer FPS. I say supposed to be, because they just announced a sixth season earlier today.

    The announcement came via the official Battlefield social media channels like Instagram and Twitter.

    We know jack squat about what Season 6 will include. DICE said in their announcement that...

    Helicopters about to be a whole lot more annoying.

    If you thought taking down helicopters, especially the stealth choppers, were a pain in the ass before just you wait for Update 5.0.0 to drop for Battlefield 2042.

    Update 5.0.0 for Battlefield 2042 will arrive on Wednesday alongside the launch of Season 5 for the game. This (presumably) last season for Battlefield 2042 is set to add a new map, Reclaimed, along with new weapons, gadgets, a 100-tier Battle Pass, quality...

    The fifth and final season is nearly here.

    Battlefield 2042 has had a hell of a run. From being a disappointing mess at launch to becoming a game that I can safely recommend in its current state. Today, DICE showed off a new trailer for Season 5: New Dawn, the fifth and final season of content for the FPS.

    Season 5: New Dawn will launch on June 7. This season will include a brand new map, new weapons, new gadgets, and various quality of life improvements. Some of those...

    Battlefield 2042 Season 5: New Dawn Teaser and Lore Dump

    Just a teaser for a bigger reveal.

    DICE released a little teaser today for Season 5 of Battlefield 2042. This teaser was dropped ahead of a planned larger reveal scheduled for May 26. First off, we learned that Season 5 is being called New Dawn.

    The teaser is just that, a teaser of the upcoming gameplay reveal on the 26th at 8AM (PT). It also seems to hold a little more than meets the eye at first glance. For instance, is that morse code I hear? Secondly, what does 1 11...

    Vehicle Reworks Coming in Battlefield 2042 Season 5

    Less explosives, category adjustments, and more.

    DICE just detailed the changes that are coming to vehicle loadouts for Battlefield 2042 in Season 5. While the general changes may not seem like a whole lot at a glance, they are rather big in the grand scheme of things. For instance, DICE is pulling explosives from several vehicles to have them be less of a "jack of all trades" sort of thing and to better fit the roles they were designed for. There is also a small shuffle to move the...
