In a shocking development, Electronic Arts announced on September 29 that it will go private as part of a $55 billion leveraged buyout. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, and private equity company Silver Lake are taking 100% ownership of the company behind franchises like Battlefield, Mass Effect, Madden, and many others.
Industries tend to consolidate over time as they mature, and EA going private is just the latest example of such a move in the...
Microsoft has announced a price hike for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, raising the price by 50% from $20 to $30 per month. You do not have to pay that much everywhere, however. GameStop, for example, has announced that it will not raise the price of Game Pass Ultimate for in-store and online shoppers, at least not yet.
The retailer continues to sell one-month Game Pass Ultimate memberships for $20 or three-month memberships for $60. This appears to be a promotion, so it's not likely to last...
Microsoft is raising the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and the company has now attempted to defend the hikes.

Speaking to VGC on October 2, co-founder Brian Fleming explained that the next Ghost game or a return to...

Starbreeze has canceled its upcoming Dungeons & Dragons game, which was in the works under the working title Project Baxter. The developer said its board of directors and management opted to cancel the project after a "strategic review" found that resources would be better deployed on its successful Payday franchise instead.

"This was a difficult but necessary...
Like most games on the Roblox platform, the developers of Grow A Garden give away free stuff to celebrate big updates in the form of codes. Valid for only a limited time, these can give you access to items that aren’t available anywhere else, or a handful of rare items that are tough to get otherwise.
While there haven’t been all that many of them in the Roblox game’s lifespan so far, the ones that have been made available have mostly been cosmetic items, and in some rare cases, eggs for...
Microsoft opened preorders for the ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally on September 25, and they quickly sold out at some retailers. The high-end handheld is still two weeks away from launch, but at least one fan in Europe got it early thanks to a mistake by Amazon France.
The fan in question goes by TechnicalFun77 on Reddit (via Xbox Era), and the user largely had positive things to say about it before deleting their account for some unexplained reason.
"It's a good console," wrote...

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Treyarch is going back-to-back with Black Ops releases. The new game brings a futuristic setting for multiplayer, the largest round-based Zombies map ever, and a new Resurgence map for Warzone called Haven's Hollow. GameSpot went hands-on with Black Ops 7 during Call of Duty: Next, and while the jump into the future does enough to distinguish the multiplayer from last year's offering, and the latest iteration of Zombies creates a new experience, Warzone's...

Microsoft announced some significant changes for Xbox Game Pass today, headlined by a 50% price increase for Game Pass Ultimate, bringing it up to $30/month. But it may not be the last change for the service, according to at least one expert.
According to Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad, Microsoft is betting that its console players stay loyal to Game Pass even at the higher price while the company continues to release more and more games on rival platforms like PS5 and Switch 2, in...

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a little over a month away from its November 14 launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S now that we're in October. The good news, though, is that the game's multiplayer beta starts this weekend if you've preordered the military shooter, and you can now preload it to get ready to shoot your friends--and strangers--in the face.
There's a catch here, of course, if you want to preload the beta: You either had to have preordered the game...

Battlefield 6 isn't getting an early-access release, but Xbox players can get a jump ahead by pre-loading the game right now. However, PC and PlayStation 5 owners are going to have to wait a few days longer.
For the base game, MP, and campaign only, the Battlefield 6 file size is under 41GB on Xbox Series X and 39.10 GB on Xbox Series S. However, the game gives players the option as to whether they want to install the HD packs, both of which significantly change the size. The MP HD pack is...
