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.
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...
DICE to Bring Back Classes in Battlefield 2042 in Season 3
Four classes, each with restricted loadouts to return to the franchise.
Among the many shortcomings in Battlefield 2042, one in particular has stood out. No, I'm not talking about the bugs, nor the map design, nor the lack of maps, nor the lack of weapons, nor <insert anything from the laundry list of items here>. I am, of course, talking about the Specialists.
Players have lamented the removal of the Battlefield staple of having distinct classes. With the Specialist...
If you were debating on picking up the new Saints Row game when it comes out on August 23, 2022 you should probably not get it. Just don't buy it. In fact, I'd probably wait maybe a year or so before picking it up. Not only will the game more than likely be out on Steam at that point for you PC users, but it will probably also be a lot less buggy. It will probably also be available for a big discount.

Watch Almost 20 Seconds of The Last of Us HBO Series
We finally get a look at The Last of Us in a format that isn't a still image.
For those who have been craving literally any new media from the upcoming HBO series for The Last of Us, today is your lucky day. HBO showed us nearly 20 whole seconds of footage from the upcoming show. Admittedly it's not much at all, it's still quite a bit more than the single still image we were given back in September 2021.

The free-to-play brawler surpassed all challengers.

To those keeping up with news on MultiVersus, this...
Blizzard says that instead of any sort of loot box mechanics in Diablo 4, they will instead embrace the Season Pass system. This makes a lot of sense seeing as how Blizzard also announced the removal of loot boxes from Overwatch and Overwatch 2 earlier this month.
Blizzard made this announcement as part of its latest development update. They also confirmed that Diablo 4 will be a full-priced title, so while you are free to spend money on cosmetics...

Five new Game Pass titles, or four if you ignore Battlespire.
QuakeCon 2022 began earlier today with a little welcome message from Marty Stratton. I'm sure it was great. I don't know, I didn't watch it. What I do know is that Bethesda and id Software added some classic PC titles to Game Pass today. These are in addition to three free games available now through the Microsoft Store, plus three "new" games available for sale through the Microsoft Store.

Dead Island 2 Release Date, Screenshots, Cover, and Story Details Leaked on Amazon
Dead Island 2 seems to be back from the dead... again.
Dead Island 2 was announced way back at E3 2014. The announcement trailer was pretty great. It was supposed to be out Spring 2015. Then it was delayed until 2016.

Then in 2019, Sumo Digital partnered with 2K for some mystery projects, with at least one presumed to be Dead...

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...
