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...

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.

    Rumor: Call of Duty 2016 Set in the 'Very Far Future' with Space Battles

    A new Call of Duty will once again take place in the future, only this time it will be the very far future and not just a couple of decades beyond the present. How "future" are we talking here? Like, "very far future" kind of future. The kind of future where space battles are apparently common.

    Two different sources for this rumor seem to echo the same thing about the upcoming Call of Duty title from Infinity Ward.

  • Black Ops 3 Nuk3town Easter Egg - 'Weeping Angel' Mannequins

    Black Ops 3 Nuk3town Easter Egg - 'Weeping Angel' Mannequins

    On the updated version of Nuketown, unfortunately named Nuk3town in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, you can once again unlock a special Easter egg with the mannequins. In the first Black Ops game, I believe you had to remove the head from each mannequin and it played a song throughout the map. This time, you need to remove the arms from each of the mannequins in the updated Nuketown map. The result is them all turning into fast moving agents of death that only move when you aren't looking.

    For some reason, Rosario Dawson along with a camera crew, delivered at least one copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 to a fan that pre-ordered using Amazon Prime. Why? Who knows. Was there some sort of contest somewhere? I don't think so.

    Anyway, here are some pictures from the delivery. At least the Mt. Dew was flowing like water.

    A comparison between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 went up today and man, the Xbox 360 version looks downright ugly at times. Look at this.


    It just gets worse from here. YouTube user, Candyland, shows off some of the visual differences between the two generations.



    It should be safe to assume that the PlayStation 3 version will look just as bad as the Xbox 360 version shown above. D...

  • 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
