The recent PlayStation blackout boycott reportedly had no "significant" change in player engagement with the platform, according to an analyst. Last month, fans organized a boycott against PlayStation for the last week of August as a way of protesting the company's decision to abandon physical media. The boycott asked players to avoid playing their PlayStation, make purchases on the console, or renew any subscriptions to services like PlayStation Plus. Many questioned how effective this would actually be, given the blackout overlapped with the gameplay reveal of GTA 6, which would inevitably drive pre-orders for the game, and the beta for Modern Warfare 4.
With the FPS Wardogs dominating the Steam charts, developer Bulkhead is paying close attention to the game's various systems. The studio recently dropped a new patch that makes some necessary changes for server stability, while confirming that the team has their eyes on cheaters and exploiters. As part of Patch 0.11 , which came out on September 14, Bulkhead announced that should any dogs of war take advantage of Wardogs' economy by farming servers, they'll find themselves either temporarily or permanently banned from the game. "As an early access game, we’re not perfect, and we never will be," Bulkhead said in the patch notes.

The AA games industry needs "a few more Expedition 33s" before publishers stop seeing smaller games as a major financial risk, says Valor Mortis director Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was a tornado while developer Sandfall Interactive was anticipating more of a pleasant breeze, selling a total of over 8 million copies, and helping reset expectations for how hard a AA game is supposed to make you cry. In any case, Ratusznik tells GamesIndustry.biz at this year's Gamescom, "We had this enormous success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but still publishers find the AA segment quite risky." The director continues, "We probably need a few more Expedition 33s to just prove them wrong.

The morning of September 10, our Marvel's Wolverine review arrived alongside everyone else's to utter a collective, "Eh." Marvel's Wolverine is not awful, my coworkers tell me (and Metacritic agrees), but it is the worst-reviewed Insomniac game in a decade, and it is not the smash-hit that the PS5 needed. Saros was good and Ghost of Yotei was great, but in Sony's self-imposed game famine, Marvel's Wolverine was left to carry the weight of Atlas as fans pray that God of War Laufey and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet eventually stick the landing.

For starters, the original chair, which retails for around $1,000, does not need a yet more premium price. The new Omni Pro's even more ludicrous price of $1,109 is undeniably absurd for an office chair of any kind, and it makes it hard for me to recommend it to you.

The Big Picture: What you need to know about the ongoing games industry reset Amir Satvat's talk at Gamescom Dev laid bare the reasons behind the catastrophic layoffs – and what needs to be done The games industry is undergoing a reset. Back in December, Satvat told GamesIndustry.biz that he expected around 7,500 redundancies across the industry in 2026, down from the roughly 9,200 in 2025. "And now because more and more people in China are going to college, each year we can comfortably expect 10 million plus people who are going to have computers." On the one hand, he said, the Chinese market offers a market opportunity for developers outside China, because the "taste for games in China [is] not that different from the taste [in] other places." But on the other hand, Chinese developers will provide more competition globally, "because God, when you go over there and you see the volume and the number of studios… And I think in most cases, we have all underestimated how transformative and impactful that's going to be over the next few years." Growth and contraction In terms of where growth opportunities lay, Satvat pointed towards large user-generated content (UGC) platforms like Roblox and UEFN, but also sounded a note of caution that the "revenue opportunities on those platforms [are] concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people." Competition is getting ever tougher: the number of new Steam releases reached around 12,000 in H1 2026, up 19% year on year. Satvat pointed to the collapse in global games start-up funding from $9.9 billion in 2021 to just $2 billion in 2023, and a similar drop in private equity and venture capital funding from $12.1 billion to $2.7 billion.

Compulsion Games' buyout is complete, so now Microsoft won't get a cut if you buy South of Midnight An Xbox Game Studio no more. South of Midnight was one of 2025's seemingly innumerable highlights—in their 83% review, evergreen writer Andrea Shearon called it "a Deep South delight drenched in superstition and pain." If you've been holding off but nonetheless rooting for the award-winning studio behind it, Compulsion Games, now's a great time to dive in: it's independent again after a lengthy stay under the Xbox Game Studios banner. After rumors of closure came in the wake of Xbox's most recent layoff-heavy bloodbath, Compulsion announced it'd be leaving Microsoft instead and pursuing other partnerships. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.
The original Xbox is still one of the best-looking consoles ever: a big black box that's instantly recognizable thanks to some clever design choices. If you've ever wanted to own and build one of these, you're in luck, as Mattel has just opened up preorders for a 1:1 replica that you can put together alongside several accessories. It's a bit pricey at $330 , but it includes a few neat features that make it a cool display piece. Microsoft's plans to celebrate 25 years of Xbox come during a turbulent time for the gaming brand, as the years has been marked by mass layoffs , console price increases , and a massive $1.7 billion decline in revenue last quarter.
"They don't understand art" - id Software lead slams Xbox, says it's "impossible" to make games like 2016's Doom now Raising hell. A lead developer at id Software has spoken out about Microsoft's decision to make major cuts at the developer, and has said it's "impossible" to make triple-A games like 2016's Doom with half the staff. Chris Hayes, lead services provider at id Software, was speaking to Andre Peschke on the Well Played podcast. As part of an "Xbox reset", the company announced 3,200 jobs would be eliminated, with 1,600 of those effective immediately and the rest to follow.
This week in PC games: too much horror! And not the kind related to graphics card prices, stinky corporate acquisitions, or the general corrosion of all that is real and good. There are a lot of horror games, I mean. Besides, if the weekly new game round-up skews too hard towards any one genre, the Maw gets acid reflux, and the last time that happened, it resulted in Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
Dev at id Software says Microsoft 'burned a lot of bridges' in the industry: 'They fundamentally don't understand art, they don't understand games' "The way they align their spreadsheets for their financial reports—is not the way we used to do it." One of the biggest tragedies of Xbox's wide-reaching reset is id Software, which was cut by a whopping 136 roles. And while official statements from Microsoft and the studio have tried to reassure players that it's not been gutted, whether that's just a panicking Xbox trying to calm anxieties is up for debate. Especially given the words of Chris Hays, lead services programmer at id Software, in an interview with YouTube channel Auf ein Bier at the end of last month. "It's hard to know, since they don't tell us anything, but it's clear that the way they do accounting—the way they align their spreadsheets for their financial reports—is not the way we used to do it." 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia.
Blizzard is now reportedly Microsoft's top studio, according to leaked email "This past year has marked our third highest fiscal for top line revenue in Blizzard's history." The studio behind Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch just had its third-biggest year for top line revenue ever, according to a leaked email. The email (via Windows Central) reportedly contained Blizzard president Johanna Faries praising the team for finishing off FY26 as "the top-performing studio in Xbox's studios division." "Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred and Overwatch drove exceptional performance in particular, with Overwatch delivering its strongest quarter since 2022," she wrote. She said Overwatch has been growing for multiple consecutive years for the first time since its release, and that Blizzcon 2026 should "serve as a powerful springboard into a new era of momentum." Notably, this success is despite the fact that Microsoft is a pressure target and Xbox is a priority target of the BDS movement protesting the involvement of corporations in Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestinians. And while Blizzard seemingly hasn't been pummeled by Xbox's 3,200-layoff "reset" the way studios like Double Fine and Zenimax have, a huge portion of the job cuts have yet to land.
