The announcement trailer features four players trying to complete warehouse orders. They drive incredibly fast forklifts, drifting and using boosts, which leads to predictably funny moments as they lose control and crash into things.
I was listening to Christopher Dring’s podcast, *The Game Business Show*, the other day, and he was chatting with industry analyst Joost van Dreunen about the EA deal – you know, the massive $55 billion one. We got into talking about Battlefield 6, and honestly, the numbers are insane! They said the beta had around 25 million players, which is huge. Plus, it racked up 2.4 million Steam wishlists and 1.7 million preorders already. According to van Dreunen and the folks at Ampere Analysis in London, that points to Battlefield 6 potentially being a massive hit when it finally launches.
As a big fan, I just saw on CharlieIntel that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members don’t get the 10% discount on Call of Duty Points or BlackCell bundles anymore. It seems like this change happened pretty recently. Honestly, it was a really great perk for those of us who regularly buy DLC for Call of Duty, so it’s a bit of a bummer to see it go. I always appreciated being able to save a little money on BlackCell and points!
These guys balled out in Week 4.
Rebs Gaming reports that Virtuos’s studio, Abstraction, is working with Halo Studios to remake Halo, and is responsible for the majority of the development. Xbox Era has since confirmed this information, adding that the remake will use a combination of game engines: the engine from Halo Reach for gameplay, and Unreal Engine 5 for graphics. There’s a possibility this could be the first Halo game available on PlayStation, though this remains unconfirmed.
The Capcom Cup is a yearly competition for the Street Fighter games. Because Street Fighter 6 has been so well-received, everyone is watching this year’s event, particularly with a prize of $1 million up for grabs. It’s expected to be a thrilling competition!
I only have a basic understanding of how RPG mechanics work. Essentially, characters have stats that determine how well they attack and defend, and your skills affect those stats. Winning a match isn’t just about how skillfully you control your units; it depends just as much on those stats. The tutorial demonstrates this by pitting you against a much stronger team. No matter how well you play, there’s a clear limit – the stats of your starting team simply aren’t enough to overcome that initial disadvantage.
Borderlands 4 features a lot of side quests, but most don’t really challenge your mind. The No Escape Room is an exception-you’ll need to crack several puzzles to survive. Fortunately, we’ve already completed them all, so things should be a bit easier for you.

Many players will likely be most disappointed to see Cocoon go. Geometric Interactive’s game is a puzzle adventure that has you traveling between small worlds contained within spheres, and you’ll use each world’s special qualities to solve harder and harder puzzles.
