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.

    Warzone Surpasses 100 Million Players

    But how many of those players are returning cheaters?

    With just one day left before a big nuclear event hits Verdansk, Activision announces that Call of Duty: Warzone has surpassed 100 million players. That's a lot of players for the ever growing battle royale genre. It's also the second battle royale game in about a week to hit the 100 million player milestone. Apex Legends hit that milestone just this past week.

    Hitting 100 million players comes about a year after the...

    Season 3 of Call of Duty: Warzone is 25GB

    And even more if you have Cold War installed.

    Activision just released a little look at what is coming later this week to Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. Details were kind of sparse as far as Warzone is concerned, but there was a lot to share for Cold War. We at least know just how big the updates will be across all platforms, so let's take a look at those first. ...

    Areas like Shipwreck and the Prison are now marked with the nuclear symbol. You can also tell you're in one of these affected areas by the "white flecks"...

    Activision has repeat offenders in their sights.

    Since its release, Activision has banned over 475,000 Call of Duty: Warzone accounts due to cheating. This massive figure was revealed today during their anti-cheat progress report.

    Nukes are Launching in Call of Duty: Warzone Two Weeks Ahead of Schedule

    But their impact leaves a lot to be desired.

    Nukes are already launching in Call of Duty: Warzone despite the event not supposed to occur for about two weeks from now. Some players have already seen the missiles flying and landing early, but they come not with a bang but with a tepid whimper. A Redditor, AmedeeO10, noticed the missiles flying through the air during a match of King Slayer Trios.

    Though the nukes were flying through the air, quite frequently at that, their...

    Raven just nerfed the best game in Warzone.

    One of the most commonly picked weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone just got a big nerf today in the game's latest update. Raven just gave the FFAR a pretty big nerf.

    Call of Duty: Warzone Removes Attack Helicopters Again

    And just like that, they're gone again.

    Just yesterday, we delivered news about the new update for Call of Duty: Warzone that brought back attack helicopters to the game. They were previously removed back in late 2020 because they allowed players to turn invisible, which isn't something that is necessarily good to have in a battle royale game. Go figure.

    Just a day later and here we are talking about how the attack helicopters are once again removed from the game due to...

    Raven Software and Activision just brought the banhammer down in full force on Call of Duty: Warzone cheaters. The latest ban wave comes about a month after another massive ban wave. Today's ban total amounts to over 30,000 accounts that have been banned for cheating.

    In total, the studios have banned roughly 100,000 accounts just in 2021 so far. That's the good news.

  • 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...
