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."...

    Livestream of Buffalo Mass Shooting Reached Millions of Views on Facebook and Streamable

    Just another typical weekend here in the States.

    On Saturday, May 14 a mass shooting took place in Buffalo, New York. This tragic event where an 18-year-old white male shot and killed at least 10 people was reportedly planned on Discord and livestreamed on Twitch.

    Twitch pulled the livestream from their site within about two minutes of it going live. However, that was still enough time for people to pull recordings of the footage and moving it on to other platforms. Some...

    Dead Space Remake Set for January 2023

    If you take the first letter in this headline, it doesn't spell anything at all.

    Electronic Arts says that Dead Space (the remake) will be released on January 27, 2023. Prior to this announcement, Dead Space was expected to launch in early 2023 and it looks like that time frame is still very much on track.

    The date was announced during today's new behind the scenes livestream that was promoted earlier this week. The main focus of today's stream was to share with fans a...

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Sequel Name Possibly Revealed

    It's probably not related to a battle royale. Maybe.

    VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb is claiming that the name of the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This claim was made right near the tail end of his premium Giant Bomb show, Grubbsnax.

    Near the end of his show, Grubb told the viewers that he was indeed aware of the title of the sequel. After giving a few clues, a Giant Bomb member going by the name of colonelsanders21 was the first to...

    Netflix's Resident Evil Teaser

    Well, it's got zombies at least. Sort of?

    A new teaser for the upcoming Netflix adaptation of Resident Evil came out today. It, um, it's a trailer that much is certain.

    Netflix has been working on adapting Resident Evil to a TV series for a little while now. We were introduced to the cast back in June 2021, a cast that includes Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker.

    What we see here today sure is something. I'm not sure I would even realize this was anything related...

    Starfield and Redfall Delayed Until 2023

    This is not completely unexpected.

    Bethesda took to Twitter today to announce that both Starfield and Redfall have been delayed. The games will no longer launch within 2022 and are now expected to be released in the first half of 2023.

    Redfall is the open-world, vampire-slaying, co-op game that is in development at Arkane Austin. We really haven't seen much about the game since it made its debut at E3 2021, even though it was supposed to be out some time this Summer....

    Dying Light 2 Story DLC Delayed

    The season of delays is upon us again.

    Techland tweeted out some unfortunate news earlier today. The first planned story DLC for Dying Light 2 Stay Human has been delayed. The new story content is now expected to be released in September.

    Techland says that they simply need more time to develop the new content. That is pretty much the entirety of this.

    To keep fans occupied until September, there will be some smaller bits released in the months preceding it....

    Plus plenty of accessibility features have been added or tweaked.

    An update for Deathloop was just released that adds in a new photo mode, adds in AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 support, and includes UI, HUD, and several accessibility options.

    As announced just yesterday, Deathloop is the first of a handful of games confirmed to utilize AMD's new FSR 2.0 upscaling technology. The latest implementation of the upscaling tech promises to deliver better visual quality...

    First Games to Use AMD's FSR 2.0 Upscaling Announced

    Besides Deathloop.

    In June 2021, AMD launched the 1.0 release of what they call FidelityFX Super Resolution. This was kind of AMD's answer to Nvidia's DLSS technology, except it did not require the use of special hardware and could be used by graphics cards dating back several generations. FSR allows users to upscale an image to provide them with better performance while still looking kind of good.

    FSR 1.0 isn't perfect, nor does it do as good a job as DLSS, but it did...

    Elden Ring Sold 13.4 Million Copies in First Month

    This is officially FromSoftware's most successful game to date.

    The final tally is in, and it seems like Elden Ring sold over 13.4 million copies in a bit over its first month of availability. This makes Elden Ring the best selling FromSoftware title of all time.

    Of course, we kind of already knew this. We previously heard that Elden Ring sold over 12 million copies in its first three weeks of availability. That means that an additional 1.4 million copies were sold over...

    You're right, it's not yet June.

    Word about the 2001 build of Duke Nukem Forever being leaked out into the wild just earlier this week. At the time, the leaker known by the handle of "x0r" said that they would probably release this build in June some time. Until June, all we would have to tide us over would be a handful of screenshots and short video clips.

    As it turns out, June came early this year as the unfinished build of Duke Nukem Forever is now available...

    Wolfire's Antitrust Lawsuit Against Valve is Back On

    Wolfire's amended lawsuit is given the greenlight by the court.

    In April 2021, Wolfire Games filed a lawsuit against Valve. The lawsuit claimed that through Steam, Valve somehow suppresses the competition. The lawsuit was dismissed in November 2021 because it failed to meet necessary standards for the court. Wolfire had 30 days to amend their complaint and refile it. They did just that and a judge has now ruled that the case may move forward.

    The original lawsuit from...

  • 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...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
