XBOX: 1,600 Layoffs Today, Another 1,600 Over the Next Year, Four Studios Now Independent or Sold, Arkane in Limbo

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.

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.

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...

    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.

    The only piece of media released for this new title is the single piece of concept art, seen above.

    Sony and Insomniac Each Donating $50K to Abortion Rights Group

    These donations come a week after PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan's bizarre email.

    Last week, PlayStation president Jim Ryan sent out an email to employees urging them to "respect differences of opinion" when it comes to thoughts on abortion rights. He then went on to talk about cats and how he wants a dog as they "know their place."

    This week, both Sony and Insomniac Games are donating $50,000 each to the Women's Reproductive Rights Assistance Project (WRRAP)....

    Several Silent Hill Projects are Reportedly in Development from Bloober and Annapurna

    In my restless dreams, I see that town.

    Last week, several images that reportedly came from a new Silent Hill project leaked online. The initial leak was struck by a copyright claim from Konami and were promptly removed, which just meant that the leak was probably quite legitimate.

    This week, a new report from VGC says that Konami has not one but several new Silent Hill projects in active development at multiple studios.

    First off, VGC mentions a new rumor/leak...

    Take-Two CEO Hears the Frustration from Red Dead Online Fans

    The #SaveRedDeadOnline community have been heard, but to what end?

    Complaints about how Rockstar has seemingly ignored Red Dead Online have not gone unheard. For months now, the Red Dead Online community have been pleading with Rockstar for more significant updates to the game. They see all of the content coming out for Grand Theft Auto Online and feel as though Rockstar has abandoned them for their bigger money maker.

    That much is probably true. GTA Online is a massive...

  • 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...
