Control Resonant Review

The Hot Dog Incident is the least of your worries.

When Remedy Entertainment released the original Control, it redefined how strange and compelling an action game could be. Seven years later, the studio has returned with Control Resonant, which officially launched on September 24, 2026. Stepping away from the claustrophobic, ever-shifting corridors of the Oldest House, the sequel thrusts players directly into the chaotic streets of Manhattan. While it carries forward the brilliant super...

More broadly, Microsoft is cutting 4,800 jobs.

Today, Microsoft is laying off 2.1% of its workforce. This equates to 4,800 people that are being let go. The company's XBOX division is cutting about 20% of its entire workforce. All of this is being done in an effort to cut costs due to rising prices and expenses brought about by artificial intelligence (AI).

As a quick reminder: Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on AI in 2026. In 2025, the company spent $80 billion...
 

PlayStation is Killing Physical Game Discs

Digital only after January 2028.

Starting January 2028, Sony will no longer produce physical discs for new PlayStation game releases. All games released in January 2028 and after will be available only through digital stores such as the PlayStation Store.

Sony attempts to justify this move by claiming it's a "natural direction" in order to "adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs."...

    AMD is officially bringing FSR 4.1 to more hardware, including XBOX.

    AMD's FSR 4.1 upscaling technology has, at least so far, been limited to the Radeon 7000 and 9000 graphics cards. In a new announcement made earlier today, AMD said it is bringing FSR 4.1 upscaling to Radeon RX 6000-series graphics cards, some handhelds like the XBOX Ally, and the XBOX Series X|S.

    FSR 4.1 is quite a bit more expensive to run than any iteration of FSR 3. In other words, the gains from...

    Not Content with Fully AI Developing a Game for Disney, Epic Also Just Vibe Coded a New Launcher

    Maybe they can vibe code a new CEO.

    Epic Games sure is on a roll this week. It's not a good roll, but it is a roll nonetheless. Yesterday, we shared a story about how Epic Games developers are being forced to use AI across all areas of game development. Under this new initiative at Epic, actual developers will do nothing beyond overseeing the code that Claude spits out. The push for "AI first" is so strong at Epic that the studio had to delay a game they were working on for Disney. J...

This story was originally reported by Bloomberg, which states that the collaboration with Disney was intended to be a shooter game featuring elements from Star Wars and various Marvel properties.

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
