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...

    They Shall Not Pass - Details for First Battlefield 1 Expansion

    DICE and EA just revealed the first details for the first expansion coming March 2017 to Battlefield 1. "They Shall Not Pass" includes new maps, new weapons, and the French.

    The maps include:
    Battle of Verdun/Devil's Anvil Around 1 million shells were fired in the opening barrage of the Battle of Verdun. This created massive forest fires around the fortified city and the battlefields surrounding it. Soldiers tell stories of being able to see these fires from far a

    Giant's Shadow - Battlefield 1 Patch Notes for December 13

    The patch notes for tomorrow's (December 13) update for Battlefield 1 were released earlier than normal. Typically, we're sitting here waiting for the patch notes to drop hours after the actual update is out. Not so for this one!

    This is the "Giant's Shadow" update. A new map arrives that places you in the Battle of Selle on a cold autumn day in 1918. Of course, despite this map pack being free, those with Premium will still get it early (tomorrow), while the rest have to wait until December 20.

    This update will include some non-time gated content too. This includes a Spectator Mode, a new game setting that gives everyone a bolt-action rifle (yay, historical accuracy), and plenty of changes and balancing for classes, vehicles, maps, and more. It has a Model 10-A nerf (how this wasn't done before is a mystery). It has a fix for 'some' DirectX 11 hanging issues. It's got a little bit of everything!...

    EA Says No New Battlefield for a "Couple of Years"

    It looks like Battlefield fans will have to be content with what is available to them for the next couple of years. EA said that they will not release another entry in the franchise for at least a "couple of years." EA CFO, Blake Jorgensen, confirmed this while speaking at the NASDAQ 35th Investor Program. He said that EA "won't have another Battlefield back for a couple of years. Next year we'll have Battlefront, the Star Wars game." Right now, the only major plans for ...

    In case you weren't aware (or forgot), Battlefest kicked off today. From now until November 27, Battlefield 1 players will get chances to engage in a variety of events, giveaways, missions, and more. Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline players will also get some missions and XP events but they're old hat now. The focus for this Battlefest is on playing the objective.

    The Fall update for Battlefield 1 was released earlier today across all available platforms. The changelog is massive and includes tons of fixes, balancing, and changes to the game. The problem is it also seems to cause some issues for a number of users.

    Players have reported a drastic increase in texture flickering with this update in addition to a number of crashes. Others that have updated their Nvidia drivers have also reported less performance from previous drivers. Good...

    Battlefield 1 Twitter Pulls Tasteless #justWWIthings Campaign

    This past weekend, the Battlefield 1 Twitter account sent out a number of controversial Tweets under the hashtag of #justWWIthings. A couple of examples can be seen above and below.

    Given the rather somber tone of most of the game's single player, a fact that has been praised in numerous reviews, it comes off as a bit tasteless to go with this sort of Twitter campaign. It took a bit of time, but the Battlefield Twitter account did eventually pull the Tweets. An apology ...

    Squad "Mutiny" Feature Coming Back to Battlefield 1

    One thing that Battlefield 1 seems to lack are squad leaders that actually lead the squad. How often have you sat and requested orders from your leader only to receive none? It's probably a lot.

    Fortunately, DICE is aware that people want the mutiny feature back. A DICE developer posting on Reddit said that the feature from Battlefield 4 will be making a return very soon.
    Heya, this is one of the most requested features. It will be fixed in one of the upcoming patches.

    DICE Changes How You Earn Medals in Battlefield 1

    Earning medals in Battlefield 1 just got a little bit more... different. Those who know what medals are or how to earn them in a Battlefield game may want to take a seat here, because DICE is changing up the tried and true formula. They say that they're giving players more freedom to choose which medals they go after, but are limiting the achievable medals to just five a week.

    That sounds a little backwards, right?

    DICE has given a small reworking to how Battlepacks are handled in Battlefield 1. And by "small reworking" I mean they actually made Battlepacks kind of worthwhile again. You know, assuming you like weapon skins of varying quality levels.
    Each Battlefield 1 Battlepack contains one weapon skin. Some packs may also include an additional melee puzzle piece or an XP boost. The Battlepacks are earned by simply hitting the battlefield and playing the game. At the end of a match, a certain

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?

    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...
