Microsoft made large-scale layoffs across its gaming division this week, as part of wider cuts that have seen about 9,000 employees of the tech giant let go. It’s the fourth round of layoffs to hit Microsoft’s gaming operation since the start of last year, and the biggest since the company shuttered four Bethesda studios, including Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, in May 2024.

They're fussy, boringly easy, and strictly worse to run than any of the other dungeon-like activities Blizzard has added to the game.Most of the time, Diablo 4 players aren't even talking about those labyrinthian caves stuffed with monsters when they...
Dune: Awakening has only been out for about a month, but Funcom's survival MMO is already the target of some big changes. Today's patch, version 1.1.10.0, brings a bulleted list of changes so long it'll make your finger ache just scrolling through it.Which is great!
