There are plenty of ways to earn loot in Battlefield Redsec. Whether you go around looting every chest across Fort Lyndon, pick up loot off enemy players, or find a custom weapon drop, your inventory should be kitted out fairly quickly after dropping into a match. However, one of the easiest and most lucrative ways to score some loot in Redsec is by completing missions. Every team in Redsec is given three dedicated missions to complete right after a match begins. You can also find missions...
YouTube is updating its policies to age-restrict more content containing video game scenes with "graphic violence," the company announced on Tuesday. Starting November 17, the updates will prevent accounts under 18 and signed-out users from watching videos with games focused on showing "realistic human characters" involved in scenes of "mass violence against non-combatants" or torture.

Despite rumors that Microsoft is getting out of the console business, the company is working with AMD on future consoles and devices. Now, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has shared some thoughts about the next Xbox, which may indicate that it will be more like a PC.

I think we can all agree that a good title makes a great first impression, especially in the busy landscape of video games.

In the wake of Krafton Inc. becoming an "AI-first" company, developer Unknown Worlds Entertainment said that it won't adhere to its publisher's wishes, confirming that the team isn't using generative AI for the action-adventure survival sim Subnautica 2.

Tanks are at the center of controversy in the early stages of Battlefield Redsec. Just like in Battlefield 6 multiplayer, you can use tanks throughout a match in the battle royale, which can allow you to steamroll your way to victory if no enemies have equipped the Engineer class or anti-vehicle equipment. However, tanks can be dealt with rather swiftly as long as you have rockets or an AV mine in your inventory. Regardless of how you choose to interact with tanks in Redsec, they are not...

Earlier this year, Halo Studios and Microsoft did a very rare thing in the video game industry by providing permission for a fan-made Halo-inspired game, Spartan Survivors, to go forward. Now, Spartan Survivors has made the leap to Steam, as shared in an announcement by developer Bathrobe. Spartan Survivors is free on Steam, and that was one of the conditions that was placed on the project when Halo Studios signed off on it.
