As a big Square Enix fan, I’ve been eagerly awaiting news on games like Kingdom Hearts 4 and the conclusion of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, but things have been pretty quiet on that front. It felt like they were doing well with new projects like Octopath Traveler 0 and the Dragon Quest VII remake, so it’s really disappointing to hear they’ve had to lay off a lot of their staff, especially those outside of Japan. It’s definitely a worrying sign for the future.

Before its release, Battlefield 6 was expected to be a top multiplayer game in 2025. It gained a lot of buzz from popular streamers and Call of Duty fans seeking a new experience, and a successful beta test hinted it could become a leading shooter. However, Arc Raiders arrived offering a completely different style of gameplay, providing something many Battlefield 6 players feel is currently missing. Understanding what that ‘something’ is could reveal a lot about the future of multiplayer shooters.

Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, is a remarkably skilled fighter who has become exceptionally strong over time. His ultimate goal is to be the world’s greatest swordsman, and he’s faced numerous challenging battles in pursuit of that dream.

Amazon Prime members get extra benefits each month, like free PC games from platforms such as GOG and the Epic Games Store, plus access to the basic version of Amazon Luna. Luna was updated in October 2025 to focus more on fun, multiplayer games through its GameNight service, and you can play these games directly in a web browser or on smart devices. Just last month, Prime subscribers were able to claim free games like Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition, XCOM 2, and You Will Die Here Tonight.

Services like Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming are trying to make video games as easy to access as streaming movies or music – you just need a good internet connection and a small monthly subscription. Streaming games directly to your computer, console, or phone is becoming a real possibility for many people. Even as a longtime gamer with a large game collection, I’ve tried Xbox Cloud Gaming and been impressed. Companies like Microsoft believe cloud gaming will become the dominant way we play games, potentially replacing traditional gaming altogether. While the advantages are clear, it makes you wonder just how likely that future actually is.

According to a report from IGN’s Rebekah Valentine, Square Enix is laying off approximately 137 employees in the UK, and an unspecified number in the US.

At its heart, ARC Raiders is a game about interacting with other players. It’s a shared-world shooter where you’ll constantly encounter others while completing missions. You can choose to battle these players, or team up with them to survive. A key feature that makes ARC Raiders different is its use of nearby voice chat, which creates a more lively and engaging experience compared to many online shooters where players often prefer private party chat.

Thanks to a marketing partnership between Battlefield 6 and PlayStation, players on Sony consoles have received several perks. Recently, PlayStation 5 users received free in-game items that were available for purchase on other platforms. They also got an exclusive skin for the beta version of the game, and those with the Battlefield PRO battle pass received five extra tier skips simply for playing on PlayStation. This latest reward has caused some controversy, in part because it wasn’t clearly communicated to players.
