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.

It was also thanks to this success that the Battlefield series managed to grow exponentially to what it is today. For the time it ach...

  • A Look at the Audio Obstruction System in Battlefield 4 CTE

    A Look at the Audio Obstruction System in Battlefield 4 CTE

    New to the Battlefield 4 CTE is the audio obstruction system. This new system slightly tunes how you hear audio in Battlefield 4 depending on whether or not there is an obstruction or object between you and the origin of the sound. Youtube user David Sirland put together a handy video that shows off this new system at work. In the video, white signals indicate that there is no obstruction between you and the sound origin. Red indicators signify that the sound is obstructed and modifies th...

    This is How Megalodon was Discovered in Battlefield 4

    Allow Jackfrags to take you on a journey that I'm still trying to wrap my mind around here. This is how the Megalodon easter egg was found in Battlefield 4. Specifically, this is how the Megalodon was discovered in the CTE for Battlefield 4. That's right, something that people thought was in the game since near its launch was actually only added in a recent CTE patch. Oh well, it's still pretty cool.

  • Battlefield Hardline Writer Had to Remove Dialogue to Dehumanize the Bad Guys

    In speaking with Polygon, a Battlefield Hardline writer, Rob Auten, mentioned how they actually had to remove lines of dialogue from the game in order for the "bad guys (to feel) like bad guys."
    Writer Rob Auten told me that one of the difficulties he had with this game was creating thugs who were engaging enough to seem realistic, but not so engaging that the player might feel guilty about shooting them. "I wrote one about this guy getting back together with his ex-girlfriend," Auten expla

  • 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...
