Despite Activision proudly proclaiming that Call of Duty: Ghosts shipped more than $1 billion worth of product to retail outlets, they admitted that they have not actually sold that amount. In fact, they really haven't even come close to that figure.
Activision's CFO Dennis Durkin told investors that Ghosts has not even hit Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 sales figures yet. They're naturally blaming it on the upcoming release of the new consoles and digital distribution... somehow. Really?...
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...

This is Diablo 4 at its best. I mean it this time. For real.

FOV Changing Tool for COD: Ghosts Issued Cease and Desist Order from Activision
Seeing as how Infinity Ward forgot that people hate a locked FOV (especially one that is around 65 by default), a group took it upon themselves to release a tool that let users change the FOV of the game they paid for.
Activision issued a cease and desist order against the group and their FOV tool.
It's made even worse when you look back to 2012 when a developer at Infinity Ward said they do not mind FOV changing mods and that they will not ban for their use. Whoops! ... -

Quick! Tell Us Which Game is Modern Warfare 2 and Which is Ghosts?
Ah yes, it looks as though Infinity Ward copied from their own game for a scene in Call of Duty: Ghosts. The scenes in question are from the ending of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 while the Ghosts' scene is from the start of the game.
Which is which? You decide!
And yes, I get that the scenes are not identical, that would just be completely insane. They do, however, use the same rigging, animation, and framing.... -

This new chapter in the Call of Duty franchise features a new dynamic where players are on the side of a crippled nation fighting not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive. Fueling this all new Call of Du... -

We optimized each console to hit 60 FPS and the game looks great on both," Rubin said on Twitter. "Still on the road, but... -

Call of Duty: Ghosts Rumored to Run at 720p on Xbox One and 1080p on PlayStation 4
Man alive, the rumors are flying high tonight with respect to what resolution Call of Duty: Ghosts will run at on the next-gen consoles. Various sources over at NeoGAF, a few very accurate ones at that (based on their past reveals), say that CoD: Ghosts runs at just 720p and 60fps on the Xbox One. This is in contrast to the word that the PS4 version of the game will run it at 1080p resolution. The NeoGAF thread is already full of pages upon pages of people debating the validity of these se... -

by Shawn ZipayMake 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 202533.33%2I completed up to 10 games50.00%3I completed more than 10 games16.67%1-
