New GOG owner reckons it doesn’t have to beat Steam outright, just do a few things better: “If there’s a version of the game that’s clearly better on GOG, and it has the promise that it will run forever… people will come”

Michał Kiciński, co-founder of CD Projekt and owner of GOG, is adopting a nuanced strategy for digital game distribution, avoiding direct competition with Steam. GOG's managing director, Maciej Gołębiewski, emphasizes leveraging their strengths, while Kiciński believes in the quality of GOG's offerings and user loyalty. He envisions that as gamers recognize GOG's curated selection, they will naturally choose the platform. Additionally, recent reports indicate that games using generative AI, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Stellaris, have generated significant revenue. Kiciński focuses on building a community around quality content and user experience for GOG's future.

Battlefield 6’s first batch of soldier skins is more tactical than tacti-cool, but if you thought that one green skin was a step too far, I don’t know what to tell you

The debate over the aesthetics of cosmetics in modern FPS games, particularly in Battlefield 6, focuses on whether to adopt a tactical or 'tacti-cool' approach. As Season 1 progresses, early impressions suggest that the new cosmetics largely maintain a realistic military style, with designs like the Unflinching and Regiment skins aligning closely with the original launch aesthetics. However, some skins, such as the Fearmonger and Samhain, introduce more flamboyant elements reminiscent of styles seen in Call of Duty. Despite these extravagant designs, most new skins integrate well with Battlefield 6's visual identity. EA's goal for Battlefield 6 as a successful live service may lead to a demand for broader appeal in future skins, with Season 2 expected to introduce new designs in the new year.

Microsoft reportedly estimated that Game Pass led to $300 million in lost sales of Black Ops 6, with 82% of copies sold being on the Game Pass-less PlayStation 5

A Bloomberg report indicates that Microsoft's Game Pass may be struggling, as the company estimates significant revenue loss from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 due to its availability on the service. Game Pass lacks real-time performance metrics, unlike platforms such as Steam. Microsoft claims Game Pass is growing, but this is contradicted by recent layoffs and studio closures within Xbox. To offset the revenue loss from Black Ops 6, Game Pass would have needed around 15 million new Ultimate-tier subscribers for one month or 1.25 million over a year before any price increases. As of 2024, Game Pass had 34 million subscribers, a figure not updated this year. The subscription model's pricing structure is complex, and flagship titles like Black Ops 6 are expected to generate more revenue than the subscription model provides. Despite Black Ops 6 setting records for new Game Pass subscriptions, 82% of its sales occurred on PlayStation 5. Concerns about Game Pass's effectiveness in maximizing revenue for high-profile titles have arisen, alongside worries about the gaming industry's overall health due to studio closures and price hikes.

Senior Treyarch developer says he’d be ‘dead lying’ if he claimed not to be worried about series fatigue with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Call of Duty has shown resilience against franchise fatigue, maintaining popularity since the release of Call of Duty 4. The franchise has adapted to player preferences by introducing new settings and multiplayer modes. However, concerns about franchise fatigue have emerged, particularly from Treyarch's Senior Director of Production, Yale Miller, who expressed worries about the clustering of similarly themed games, especially with consecutive Modern Warfare and Black Ops titles. The Black Ops series benefits from its flexibility in historical context, exploring various eras from the 1960s to 2035. Miller is optimistic about the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, emphasizing plans for new gameplay experiences and content. The reception of Black Ops 6 was positive, with praise for its campaign and multiplayer components, particularly the new omnimovement system.

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’ will require TPM 2.0, Windows Secure Boot for Black Ops 7 — Activision testing Ricochet anti-cheat update in upcoming season

Activision has announced that PC players of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will need to enable Windows Secure Boot and use a system with Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) technology. This initiative will begin testing during Season 5 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone, but enforcement will not be immediate. The Ricochet anti-cheat team will notify players who have not updated their systems to comply. Activision assures that the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot processes will not access personal files and will not affect in-game performance. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is encouraged but not yet mandatory, and players using a free trial of Game Pass on PC will be restricted from accessing multiplayer ranked play. Electronic Arts' Battlefield 6 will also incorporate Secure Boot as part of its anti-cheat system, limiting players to Windows.

Battlefield 6 requirements suggest it’ll run on surprisingly modest PCs — EA VP says it still won’t work on Steam Deck, though

Battlefield 6 (BF6) is scheduled for release on October 10, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
