More broadly, Microsoft is cutting 4,800 jobs.

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).

As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...
 

PlayStation is Killing Physical Game Discs

Digital only after January 2028.

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."...

Lord of Hatred Review: Diablo 4 Finally Finds Its Final Form

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...

    Bungie is Giving Destiny 2 Players More Space for Their Stuff

    Behold! My Stuff!

    Bungie is doing the unthinkable, and no, this time I'm not talking about standing up to their new bosses. Bungie laid out some new changes coming to Destiny 2 next week by way of their latest This Week at Bungie blog.

    Sure, there will be some new power caps arriving next week with the launch of the new Season, but that isn't the biggest change coming. Bungie says that they are increasing player Vault space by 100 slots, moving it from 500 slots up to...

    The Lord of the Rings Video Games

    Probably the most popular fantasy story in the world is Lord of the Rings. That was reason enough to bring corresponding video games onto the market. However, not all of them were really convincing. But the ones that really became the winners will be presented here in the sequel. Besides the video games, there are also slots to try, which certainly bring a lot of fun when it comes to the Lord of the Rings. Meanwhile, more than 60 years have passed since the Lord of the Rings series of novels was...

    Greedfall 2: The Dying World Announced, Arriving in 2024

    This new RPG will serve as a prequel to the first game.

    In 2019, a rather solid action-RPG called Greedfall was released. The game must have resonated well with fans because Spiders and Focus Home just announced Greedfall 2: The Dying World today. This new title will actually be a prequel to the first game, taking place three years before the events in the original game.

    Though a relatively "niche" title, Greedfall went on to sell at least a million copies within...

    Bungie Stays Resolute in Support of Political Opinions Despite Sony Acquisition

    As PlayStation stays silent, Bungie keeps fighting the good fight.

    Bungie was one of the first game studios to voice their support for the "essential healthcare rights" after a leaked document showed that the United States Supreme Court seeks to overturn Roe v. Wade. On the flip side, Sony's PlayStation department has been just failing spectacularly. In an effort to avoid any sort of controversy, PlayStation has decided that keeping quiet is the best course of action....

    Dying Light Studio Focusing on Open World Fantasy Action Game

    The game was first revealed back in 2016.

    Six years after its announcement, Techland is finally ready to really get to work on a new open-world action-RPG fantasy game that they first teased roughly six years ago. The game, which does not yet have a name, will apparently be their next major title following the successful launch of Dying Light 2.

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    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...
