The first weekend of Battlefield 6's open beta was received positively by fans and put up huge numbers on Steam, but how many people in total tried it out? According to research firm Oppenheimer, the beta reached more than 5 million people during the August 7-11 window that included the early-access period and the open beta for everyone.
Oppenheimer said the beta had "superior polish, excellent netcode, and an authentic Battlefield experience." Many players might agree with this, as the...
Helldivers 2 is landing on Xbox Series X|S later this month, and in a new trailer celebrating the former PlayStation exclusive's arrival on the Microsoft hardware, there was a brief tease for a beloved piece of Halo history right at the end. Here's the trailer, which isn't referencing the Costco Guys with its use of POD's hit 2002 single, Boom.
Right at the end of the trailer, there's a brief scene that looks like it's set in the city of New Bombasa from Halo 3: ODST, complete with a...
The Pokemon Company and McDonald's have teamed up before, but not without attracting undo attention from would-be scalpers. Earlier this month, McDonald's Japan was forced to end its latest Pokemon Happy Meal promotion a few days early because the supply of cards quickly ran out amid chaotic crowds clamoring for the cards that came with them.
According to Nintendo Soup, scalpers drove most of the demand for Pokemon cards and many of them abandoned their Happy Meals uneaten at the...
Extraction shooter Arc Raiders launches in October, and while that date isn't too far off, don't expect an announcement of a new playtest between now and then. In a new post, developer Embark Studios explained that it's currently focused on whipping the game into shape, and it won't be appearing at Gamescom this month either.
"Our focus is now on polishing and expanding the experience, and putting all the learnings from Tec Test 2 into action ahead of release," Embark Studios wrote on X...

Xbox president Sarah Bond is joining a different company's board of directors while retaining her position at Microsoft, and the new job is something few could have predicted.
Tyson Foods has announced that Bond will be the company's newest independent director for its board, effective immediately. This isn't the only board position that Bond holds, as she's also on the board for the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. Bond went to Yale and got a bachelor's degree in...
Battlefield 6 fans haven't been shy about giving their opinions on the game through its extended public testing period--and that hasn't changed with the game's wildly popular first open beta. Many players are echoing the same few criticisms on social media--that the BF6 maps are too small, and that Liberation Peak is an infuriating sniper's heaven.
With a game as heavily anticipated as Battlefield 6--not to mention the record-breaking open beta numbers--it's not surprising that social media...
In its financial results for the first half of 2025, Remedy Entertainment says that it is "unsatisfied" by the post-launch sales of FBC: Firebreak. While the company says that its co-op PvE game reached 1 million players after launch in June--with high numbers from PS5 and Xbox Series X|S specifically--PC sales underperformed and weren't enough to cover the low sales on console. It's worth noting that FBC: Firebreak was available day-one through PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass, with those...
Doom fans can save big on The Dark Ages-themed Xbox Wireless Controller at Walmart. Normally $80, this limited-edition official Xbox controller is on sale for only $54. Walmart doesn't list an end date for the promotion, but we wouldn't expect this deal to remain in stock for long. Walmart is one of three retailers with units in stock, but Best Buy and Target are selling the controller for the full $80 MSRP. Amazon, meanwhile, sold out of units shortly after the controller launched at the...
The First Descendant developer Nexon Games has announced one of its upcoming titles, Woochi the Wayfarer, which is based on a classic Korean novel The Tale of Jeon Woochi. The announcement was accompanied by a teaser trailer that may give fans of The Witcher some Deja vu.
There's no English language audio option for this video, but the closed captioning does offer an English translation of the spoken lines. The woman's name is Myoan, and she's a shaman who performs a violent sacrificial...

The intrepid climbers of Peak are enjoying the game, but today they hit a wall--an invisible one. Peak's latest update, which adds a new Mesa biome to the game, had a show-stopping bug (not the ticks, though). Players were finding their progress halted by invisible walls as they climbed the new clime. The good news: it's fixed!
Players began to report the invisible wall issue almost immediately, and the game's Discord was filled with complaints about the bug. Now, though, developer Team...
Warhammer 40: Dawn of War's original opening cinematic has been remastered a second time in order to restore a "beloved" Space Marine scream that, to the dismay of fans, had been removed the first time around.
When developer Relic Entertainment first announced the August 14 release date for Dawn of War - Definitive Edition--an updated version of the RTS classic that includes features like upscaled unit textures, lighting upgrades, and 4K resolution support--it did so by releasing a new...

From the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption franchises to the 2K sports titles, Take-Two Interactive has some of the most-desirable games in the industry. However, the company has largely kept its marquee titles away from Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus. Now, Take-Two President Karl Slatoff has explained why the company hasn't embraced lending more of its games to subscription services.
"We do put our titles occasionally into some of the subscription services," Slatoff said earlier...
Paper Mario was released in Japan 25 years ago today, August 11, 2025. Below, we look back at how the dynamic battle system and an unusual approach to Mario lore influenced the series for years to come.
I would wager that when GameSpot posted its first preview of the original Paper Mario--then known as "Super Mario Adventure" in the US and "Super Mario RPG 2" in Japan--two and a half decades ago, no one expected it would become a beloved sub-series that people would still hold in high...
In 2021, Mass Effect fans were rewarded with a modern remaster of the first three games in Mass Effect Legendary Edition. However, fans hoping for a similar remaster of the original Dragon Age trilogy may be disappointed to hear that it was already "softly" pitched to EA and rejected.
Mark Darrah--an executive producer on the first three Dragon Age games before leaving BioWare--shared that revelation during an interview with MrMattyPlays on YouTube (via Eurogamer).
"One of the things that...
With inflation on the rise and recent US jobs reports coming in lower than some economists predicted, there are fears of an economic slowdown. Some believe people may spend more conservatively on all range of products, including entertainment like games, which could negatively impact the video game industry overall.
Now, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has commented on this economic backdrop, saying the US economy is neither booming nor busting, going on to predict that consumers will be more...
Peak has turned up the heat with a new area to explore called Mesa, a sandy biome with the sizzling sun beating down on climbers. Thankfully, the patch notes state that shade can be found as well as sunscreen and parasols as part of the Mesa update, which is available now for the co-op game.
Developers Aggro Crab and Landfall broke down the major update for Peak on Steam. For the next week, Mesa will actually replace the Alpine biome in runs, and then afterward, they "will rotate randomly."...
