Battlefield 6 now lets players pre-purchase the Season 3 Battle Pass before its release. For 1,100 Battlefield Coins, you get the Verdant L110 weapon package right away and two tier skips when the season starts. There is also a Pro version that includes more rewards. It asks players to spend money on content they have not seen yet. The greed of EA will never end.

The Players Alliance plans a raid protest at EA’s main office in Redwood City on May 11. They will bring people dressed as game characters, a 50-foot petition signed by more than 70,000 people, and fake loot boxes. This is to show their concerns about EA’s $55 billion buyout deal. It would make EA a private company owned by a group that includes Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners. Protesters and video game unions fear the buyout will cause job losses, close game studios, increase AI use, and push players to spend more money.

Xbox has reportedly canceled its planned Game Pass Family Plan. The subscription would have allowed up to four users to share access to the full Game Pass library at a discounted rate. It was tested in countries including Ireland and Colombia but was ultimately dropped after EA strongly opposed the shared library concept and its impact on game sales.

Remedy Entertainment’s new CEO, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, recently said that both Alan Wake and Control deserved to sell more copies than they did. In an interview with The Game Business, Gaudechon said: “It’s a pity, I think Alan Wake should have sold more. Control should have sold more.” Gaudechon joined Remedy earlier this year after working on major EA franchises like Battlefield and FIFA. He believes both games are high-quality titles with much more room to grow. Remedy’s main goal is to expand the Alan Wake and Control franchises before focusing on new projects. A key part of that strategy is the studio’s 2024 partnership with Annapurna Interactive. The partnership funds the next Control game, currently known as “Control Resonant,” while Annapurna gains rights to create movies, TV shows, and other adaptations based on Alan Wake and Control. Gaudechon explained that the deal aims to help the games reach a bigger audience through different media: “Our deal with Annapurna goes into making our games, our franchises shine further and reach an audience that doesn’t exist today… Cross-media is going to help us do that.” He also said Remedy feels it has only explored part of the creative potential of these franchises so far and wants to grow them

Hasbro has cancelled its publishing deal with Giant Skull for the planned single-player Dungeons & Dragons action-adventure game. The project was announced in June 2025 and led by Stig Asmussen, director of God of War 3 and the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order series.

According to Bloomberg, the cancellation is part of a larger reorganisation at Wizards of the Coast, which also included the earlier closure of the internal studio Atomic Arcade. Hasbro has stated that it remains open to new project pitches from Giant Skull.
