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).
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."...

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...

The seventh season of Battlefield 2042 launched last week alongside Update 7.0.0. This week, DICE shared news of Update 7.0.1 that they hope to deploy on Tuesday, April 2nd.
This update is a minor one, as you can probably tell from the version number. It does include a few game breaking fixes for issues that were seemingly introduced as part of Update 7.0.0, but nothing particularly major is included in this new update.
The Overwatch-esque Hero shooter was just revealed today.
If you liked Overwatch (let's ignore Overwatch 2) but thought it could do with a little dash of Marvel, then perhaps the newly announced Marvel Rivals (loud volume warning) is going to be right up your alley. NetEase's Marvel Rivals is an upcoming 6v6, third-person hero shooter that was revealed earlier today.
A closed alpha for Marvel Rivals will begin in May. It's coming to us from NetEase Games, with a team...

Generation Zero Celebrates 5th Anniversary with Free Weapon Skins
Five years on and the game is still getting updated.
When Generation Zero released in 2019, it wasn't really all that great. The stealth-shooter had a lot of issues in all aspects of the game, making the stealth-action shooter rather mediocre at best. In these past five years, developer Systemic Reaction has worked continuously to update the game with fixes, improvements, and a bunch of new content. By most accounts, the current state of Generation Zero is quite good and a massive...
I am just shy of 25 hours of play time in Dragon's Dogma 2 (let's ignore the time spent trying to adjust all sorts of graphical options to make the game not run like garbage), and I am only now finding out about a new gameplay mechanic. Were you aware that you can use the various trebuchets you come across in Dragon's Dogma 2?
Sure, the usable ballista were probably rather obvious, especially given how you can see one used right...
Bethesda Says Happy 30th Birthday to Elder Scrolls, Mentions Early Playable Builds of Elder Scrolls 6
Release is still probably a long way away though.
The Elder Scrolls series has turned 30 years old this year and Bethesda Game Studios took to social media to offer up some thoughts on these past three decades. The Elder Scrolls: Arena was the first title and came out back in 1994 for MS-DOS. Arena is still free to play through Steam, by the way. And while there hasn't been a new mainline release for the franchise since 2011's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the series is as popular...
Capcom is Adding a New Game Option for Dragon's Dogma 2
Framerate improvements won't be a part of this update.

To those not keeping up on the goings-on for Dragon's Dogma 2, the game released with the inability to easily start a new game if you already created a save.

Production on Grand Theft Auto 6 Reportedly Falling Behind
Rockstar worries a delay is likely.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was the focus of attention before it was ever even announced by Rockstar. Assets for the game were stolen from Rockstar Games as part of a huge leak in 2022. Even the game's...
A beta for Path of Exile 2 was expected to be available to select participants in early June 2024. Specifically, Grinding Gear Games say that they wanted to get the beta out by June 7th. Sadly, fans eager for the next installment of their favorite action-RPG will have quite a bit longer to wait.
On Twitter, Grinding Gear Games said that while they think they would be able to get the beta's content ready in time for that deadline, they wouldn't...
Capcom Issues Statement to Dragon's Dogma 2 PC Players
The latest from Capcom is being demolished by fans for a myriad of issues.
Dragon's Dogma 2 released last night (or today, depending on time zones) on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Though receiving generally favorable reviews, the latest title from Capcom has not launched without several issues on all platforms. The console versions of Dragon's Dogma 2 struggle to maintain a locked 30 FPS, but that 30 FPS target was at least known about ahead of the game's release. ...
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...
