DICE Says Battlefield 2042 Hovercraft Climbing is Removed in Update 4.0
Truly, the end of an era.
Prior to the release of Battlefield 2042, players discovered that the hovercraft was able to scale completely vertical surfaces. This led to situations that was sometimes amusing, sometimes frustrating, but always gravity defying.
This, let's call it "exploit," went unchecked for months now. However, it seems as though the era of the gravity defying hovercraft is about to come to an end. A member of the DICE development team working...

Saints Row Customization Showcase Scheduled for April
Will focus on customization. Obviously.
Volition has been rather quiet when it comes to all things Saints Row over these past several months.

Before that, we were at least given a lengthy gameplay reveal video.
That silence was broken today as Volition and Deep Silver announced a big customization showcase for Saints Row. This...

The No Man's Sky developer isn't quite ready to talk about it just yet though.
Hello Games is working on a new project that is apparently so ambitious it would "seem impossible" even with a team of 1,000 members. This is according to Hello Games' co-founder Sean Murray in a brief interview with IGN.
Murray says that what they have been working on since at least September 2021 is not a sequel to No Man's Sky. It is, however, just as ambitious a project. ...

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...
