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.

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

Once completed, the game will still fail to launch and kick off another "Validation" step.
It seems that a workaround to this issue lies not...

The one exception to this is the internal SSD, which goes from...

Redfall released back in May 2023 to some less than favorable reviews, including our own review that found very little to love about Arkane's open-world vampire slayer. Up until October 6, Arkane released just one hotfix update and one major game update. While most have already written the game off, hitting a player count of just three people a day prior, Arkane surprised everyone by releasing the game's second update.

There will also be a bunch of cosmetic items offered through the Season 6 Battle Pass, which again offers both a free track and a Premium track if you spend a bit of cash (or have enough Coins saved from previous season passes).

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...
