Some Halo Infinite Challenge Swaps And XP Boosts Are Being Held Hostage By Brand Deals
2.12.2021
Last night, I bought a can of Pringles mostly on the grounds that it would grant me an XP boost in Halo Infinite, only to find that I couldn’t actually redeem the code. See, I’d have to upload a photo of my receipt to the company’s website. The process makes a certain degree of sense (you’d want...

Beloved Shooter Titanfall Will Be Pulled From Stores Permanently
1.12.2021
Titanfall, the game which catapulted Respawn Entertainment to the status of EA’s star studio, is being pulled from digital storefronts and subscription services on March 1, 2022. This, to me? Sucks. However—given the game’s recent brush with some very bad hacking—it isn’t particularly surprising...

1.12.2021
Next week, Halo Infinite, which has had its free-to-play multiplayer mode playable for some time now, comes to Xbox Game Pass in full.

Halo Infinite’s early multiplayer launch on Nov. 15 was a fun surprise and in the time since then the general response to the beta has been favorable.

Cyberpunk 2077 Is Having Its First Good Day

DICE Forgot About Building Collision In Battlefield 2042
23.11.2021
Battlefield 2042 is shaping up to be a broken mess of a game, one that probably could’ve benefited from another month—or year—in development. Still, it’s officially out on most major platforms, and players are once again having a blast with aspects of it that the designers never intended them...
