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.

  • Old Conquest Ticket System Returns Following Battlefield 1 Beta Feedback

    Old Conquest Ticket System Returns Following Battlefield 1 Beta Feedback

    It seems as though Battlefield fans weren't too keen on the changes DICE attempted with the ticket system in Battlefield 1. They originally had it so that kills did not take away tickets. The only way to really bleed the opposition dry was to capture more points than them. In theory, this meant that people should have been playing the objective more than focusing on team deathmatch. In reality, people still camped and played the game like it was team deathmatch. In order to appease the...

    Battlefield 1 Beta Information Coming Soon?

    It could be nothing, but I might as well just mention that the Battlefield 1 Twitter account has mentioned the beta once again. It's essentially saying, if you aren't an Insider yet, you should probably become one because there may very well be some news coming maybe soon about a certain Battlefield 1 beta.

  • 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...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
    33.33%
    2
    I completed up to 10 games
    50.00%
    3
    I completed more than 10 games
