  Battlefield 2042 Player Count Hits New Milestone

  This milestone comes just five months after release.
  
  Player numbers for Battlefield 2042, at least those playing on Steam, have hit an all-new milestone today! Sadly, not all milestones are good. According to both SteamCharts and SteamDB, the concurrent player count for Battlefield 2042 fell below 1,000 players for the first time.
  
  SteamCharts showed as few as 979 players were on at once while SteamDB shows a slightly less grim count of 983 players.

  Sony Invests Another $1 Billion in Epic

  This comes a year after Sony invested $200 million.
  
  Last year, Sony invested $200 million (USD) into Epic Games. I could have sworn I put up a news post about this when it happened, but I cannot seem to find it at the moment, so you'll just have to trust me on this. Or you can just read the official release of that from April 13, 2021 via Epic Games.
  
  Almost one year later and Sony is again pouring money into Epic Games. This time, instead of $200 million the amount is...

  Oh no, I put the important bit in the headline.
  
  Well, this is awkward. I went and put the important information in the headline. That means you don't have to read the rest of this news post because you already know that Season 2 for Halo Infinite will be out on May 3.
  
  What can I do to fill this space now besides uselessly padding out this story so that I can get enough information in for the preview break? Oh, I know, I can let you know that there was also a new trailer...
