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.

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

Microsoft Cancelled a PlayStation 5 Version of Redfall
Arkane's Harvey Smith says a planned PS5 version was scrapped following Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda.
Redfall is an upcoming cooperative FPS that will have you and up to three additional friends roaming the town of Redfall slaying vampires. Redfall was announced as being exclusive for PC and Xbox platforms, which does make a lot of sense seeing as how the developer, Arkane, is owned by Bethesda and Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.

Valve's massively popular FPS gets an engine upgrade and a test starting today.
Valve officially announced Counter-Strike 2 today after weeks of teases, speculation, and rumors. The developer calls this "the largest technical leap forward in Counter-Strike's history" and I'm inclined to believe it.

The Battlefield games I can understand, but Mirror's Edge?

By "sunsetting" they mean that they will be taking the servers for these games offline and they will also remove the games from digital storefronts.

Elden Ring players died over a billion times more than there are people on Earth right now.

This interesting fact was shared today to celebrate said anniversary from Bandai Namco. Not only did they share that there were 9 billion...

Respawn Opens Third Studio to Keep Apex Legends Going Another 15 Years

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Story Trailer is Light on Story
Finally, a story trailer that doesn't just spill the entire can of beans.
EA and Respawn Entertainment just released a new story focused trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Unlike many other story trailers for games, this one doesn't exactly reveal much of the plot. At least, I don't think it did. It was kept vague enough while showing a bunch of quick scenes.
Still, if you don't want any spoilers at all, it's best to avoid this trailer.
New 'COUNTER STRIKE' and 'CS2' Trademarks Filed by Valve
New trademarks by Valve sure do seem to be hinting at something. But what ever could it be?
March really started off with a bang for Counter-Strike fans when Nvidia included references to something called Counter-Strike 2. Specifically, the drivers starting with 531.18 included profiles for "Counter-strike 2 (cs2.exe)" and "Counter-strike 2 (csgos2.exe)."
Since that time, the Counter-Strike community has gone a bit rabid in their desire for a Source...

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...
