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...

  • Battlefield: Hardline Beta Begins on PlayStation 4 and PC - New Gameplay Video

    As we may have guessed a few days back, a beta for Battlefield: Hardline is ready to kick off on the PlayStation 4. Some lucky fans are already receiving their beta code invitations to participate in the beta, all for attending the PlayStation E3 Experience.

    Battlefield: Hardline Demo Appears on PlayStation 4 Store

    A few minutes ago a new entry appeared on the PlayStation Store via the PlayStation 4. I snapped a couple of images for it but was unable to actually find a means of downloading the demo.


    As you can see, it's listed as the "Omaha" Demo, which is one of the internal codenames for Battlefield: Hardline. I wouldn't get too excited just yet as it's entirely possible that this is going to be used for internal testing or for a very closed beta that the public will...

    Battlefield: Hardline may be the least secret game reveal in the past few years. Yesterday, images from Battlelog were leaked prompting an actual announcement from EA. Today? Someone got their hands on the private, internal pitch trailer for the game. This was back when it was still codenamed Omaha. The visuals, features, and everything else in this trailer are not final but it should give you a good idea of what to expect. Some are saying that this was a planned leak. Something ...

    Rumor(s): A Ton of Leaked Information for Battlefield: Hardline

    Early today, it seems as though a ton of information was potentially leaked for Battlefield: Hardline. You may otherwise know it as Battlefield: S.W.A.T. or even the "Battlefield game being developed by Visceral Games." Hell, you may even know it now from its code-name of Omaha or Havana for all I know.

    The simple fact remains that there has apparently been a huge leak of information on the next Battlefield title. According to information gathered at NeoGAF, Better Bat...

    Battlefield 4 Premium Video Gives First Look at Dragon's Teeth

    When DICE promised gameplay footage for Battlefield 4: Dragon's Teeth this week, this wasn't exactly what most people had in mind. They released a general "Premium" video that just happens to have a very brief glimpse at Dragon's Teeth included.

  • 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%

    I completed up to 10 games
