As a huge Battlefield fan, I had a feeling *Battlefield 6* was going to be massive when EA started showing it off earlier this year. The open beta really confirmed that – it hit over 520,000 players on Steam at one point! But seeing the official launch? That’s when it *really* became clear just how big this game was going to be.
2025 is shaping up to be the most significant year yet for Obsidian Entertainment, a game studio with a 22-year history. They launched *Avowed*, their first major fantasy RPG, in February, and it was well-received by fans of their *Pillars of Eternity* series. Then, in June, Obsidian surprised everyone at the Xbox showcase with the announcement of a sequel to *Grounded*, their popular survival game inspired by *Honey, I Shrunk the Kids*. The sequel entered early access on June 29th. And now, after a four-year wait since its initial announcement in 2021, *The Outer Worlds 2* is almost here, capping off an incredible year with three major game releases for Obsidian.

In Battlefield 6, each of the four player classes has its own set of challenges to complete.

Here’s a guide to completing every Assault and Assault Expert challenge in *Battlefield 6*.
Sung Jinwoo is the central character in Solo Leveling, and his journey is marked by incredible growth. He starts as a very weak Hunter – ranked E – barely able to fight even the simplest monsters.
Originally revealed in March 2023, *MindsEye* was a highly anticipated cyberpunk action game intended to establish Build A Rocket Boy—a Scottish studio led by Leslie Benzies, a former key developer on the *GTA* series—as a major player. However, when the game launched in June 2025, it received extremely negative reviews and disappointed fans. Shortly after, Build A Rocket Boy began laying off employees.
I’ve always wanted to be able to take that little world with me wherever I go. Despite spending countless hours creating dream houses and managing virtual lives in my 20s, *The Sims* never quite felt portable. I loved the *MySims* games on the DS, but the later mobile versions just didn’t capture the same magic. It’s a simple pleasure I appreciated as a child and have continued to cherish as an adult.
While you *can* beat Megabonk with any character – the game’s randomness will eventually get you a strong setup – some characters make it much easier to reach the late game. They’ll have a significantly smoother time finishing Tier 3, getting to the final stage, and defeating the boss.
