A new report from The Game Business suggests that Obsidian Entertainment is another studio currently negotiating with Microsoft to avoid closure as part of the company's controversial reassessment of its business. Only yesterday, we heard that Dishonored developer Arkane is reportedly one of five studios Microsoft is targeting to close down as part of its big 'reset'.

To most players, Subnautica 2 is one of 2026's hottest survival games after over four million players jumped into its dangerous waters and found an iterative but engrossing sequel. If you've been keeping tabs on its long development, however, you know about the legal dispute between Krafton and Unknown Worlds' leadership. Now, the publisher has agreed to finally pay promised bonuses to all staffers.
Today, Sony announced that it will no longer produce discs for PlayStation games starting in January 2028, citing "consumer preferences" for the reason it's going all-in on digital. The reaction, unsurprisingly, has been pretty bad across the internet and the indsutry at large.

Last year's Tomb Raider (2013) Nintendo Switch 1/2 port didn't get off to a smooth start, with some long-time fans declaring it a subpar refresh of the modern action-adventure classic.
