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.

Steam Sets New Concurrent User Record Just Because They Could
Steam is off to a strong start in 2024.
You would think that new concurrent user records might have been set during the big Steam Winter Sale, which ended just earlier this week. You would think that, but apparently you would be wrong. Instead, a new concurrent user record was set by Steam on a weekend in which there are no sales, no Steam Fests, or really anything else truly notable going on.
On the morning of January 7, 20224, Steam set a new concurrent user record....
About 30 years ago, Microsoft added the Windows key to keyboards. Chances are extremely high that the keyboard you're using on your computer has that Windows key on it. Hell, it might even have two Windows keys on it like mine does. Sorry Mac users with your Options key, this news does not apply to you.
Microsoft is apparently not satisfied with the classic keyboard anymore, because they are about to introduce a new key dedicated...

According to a report from GamesIndustry.biz, Bossa Studios laid off roughly one-third of its entire workforce. Sources that spoke with GamesIndustry...

If you haven't moved on, it's long past time you did.
Microsoft stopped officially supporting Windows 7 for regular users in 2020 and Windows 8.1 support ended in 2023. At best, you've had a year to update to a newer version of Windows. At worst, you've had four years. You should have moved to Windows 10 or Windows 11 by now if you are online at all with those operating systems. Years of no security updates is bad enough, but this week it just got worse.

Resolving to lose weight is so 2000 and late.
It's a new year and a new you. Maybe it's the same you. Either way, it's still a new year. With New Years having come and gone, it's long past the time you probably made your New Year's resolutions.
This month's poll, and I admit it's kind of a lame one but I can't think of anything else right now, asks: Have you ever made a New Year's resolution related to gaming?
No, I do not mean 1080p or 4K, or whatever other...
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...
