More broadly, Microsoft is cutting 4,800 jobs.

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.

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.

    DICE announced that they will effectively scrap Battlelog for joining and browsing servers. In its place will be an in-game UI where players can join servers, much like it was for all previous Battlefield games up through Battlefield 3. This change will begin with Battlefield 4 and will make its way to Battlefield Hardline, and also be included in Battlefield 1.

    The new UI in Battlefield 4 will reportedly include the following features.

    Confirmed Factions for Battlefield 1

    Yesterday, DICE revealed the playable factions that will ship with Battlefield 1 later this year. These factions include: British, German, Austro-Hungarian, Italian, Ottoman, and American. Oddly, the French and Russians were not included. It's actually quite baffling that the French won't be included given their significant role in WWI, but DICE has an answer for that: DLC. Yes, the French will be added later on according to French publication, ...

Fortunately for you, LevelCap has 44 hot, unedited minutes of gameplay from that event. Everything is obviously from his perspective, but it should still be enough to give you a good idea of what the game is like in this pre-alpha stage.

    Vehicles Now Class Specific in Battlefield 1

    Jackfrags shared some fresh Battlefield 1 information today in a new video. Jackfrags seems to offer up a bit more information than what was revealed during today's live stream event.

    This news includes word that vehicles will now be class specific. That spells bad news for those jerk snipers that steal air vehicles only to get to their camp spot atop a mountain.

  • Battlefield 1 Information - October 18 Release, Alternate History WWI Inspired Setting, and Pre-Order Hellfighter Bonus Pack

    It seems as though the Xbox One has started a trend with ass-backwards naming conventions. Today, the cover art and pre-order bonus information for Battlefield 1 was supposedly leaked. Yes, Battlefield 1. Why 1? Because it's supposedly taking place in a WWI-ish era. Ish? Yes, ish. The full details on what that means will be revealed in about two hours from now but let's just say that we're going back to the future. From this apparent image leak comes word of a "Hellfighter Pack" that p...

  • 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...
