Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, has teamed up with Electronic Arts (EA) to be the official peripherals partner for the highly anticipated Battlefield 6 game. Together, Razer and EA are looking to deliver an unparalleled sensory experience to one of the most anticipated shooters of the year. EA's latest entry into the iconic Battlefield franchise, Battlefield 6 is a large-scale multiplayer first-person shooter set in the year 2027. With the integration of Razer Sensa HD Haptics and Razer Chroma RGB, players can look forward to unprecedented immersion in all-out warfare and fast-paced close-quarters combat, coupled with Battlefield's signature tactical destruction gameplay.

"Immersion has always been at the core of Battlefield 6, and collaborating with Razer has given us new ways to deliver it. Sensa HD Haptics turns sound and visuals into something physical—you feel the weight of destruction, the shock of explosions, the energy of combat as it happens. With Chroma RGB, that same intensity reaches beyond the screen, filling your space with light and motion that react to every moment in the fight." Says Víðir Reynisson, Technical Director at DICE.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Full Circle's skate., the next chapter in the award-winning skateboarding franchise, releases in Early Access today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and EA App. The game is free-to-play, fully cross-platform with cross-progression support making it easy for both longtime fans and new skaters to jump in and ride together. skate.'s Early Access is just the beginning; the game will continue to evolve alongside the player community, with new content and features planned throughout Early Access and beyond.

Delivering a massive, multiplayer skateboarding experience in a fully open world, skate. is set in the ever-evolving city of San Vansterdam, where every street and rooftop presents a new opportunity for tricks and self expression. Players can explore four distinct neighborhoods, each with their own unique terrain, atmosphere and skate spots to discover. From rooftops and canals to plazas, parks and a heavenly cathedral-turned-trick haven, San Vansterdam is the ultimate playground for skaters.

Following the recent Battlefield 6 multiplayer showcase that confirmed the existence of a UGC platform for the new shooter, EA's executive vice president, Vince Zampella, confirmed in an interview with PCGamesN that Battlefield 6 will not receive Steam Deck support. According to the executive, "It does not work on Steam Deck. I think there are some non-Steam-Deck handheld platforms that it will work on, probably, right? But I don't think, you know, it's probably not the best way to play the game."

This suggests that the reason for the lack of Steam Deck support comes down to incompatibility with SteamOS, rather than hardware limitations. The presumption is thus that Battlefield 6's EA anti-cheat still won't adopt Linux support. According to ProtonDB, 27% of Steam's current top 100 games work basically flawlessly with Valve's Proton compatibility layer, with an additional 52% receiving a "Gold" rating, which means the game runs basically perfectly using Proton with a little tweaking. Other gaming giants have also recently announced their intention to include Steam Deck and Linux compatibility in their upcoming titles, with Ubisoft being one notable example in recent months.

Today, during a live global multiplayer reveal event, Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios unveiled Battlefield 6, the ultimate all-out warfare experience. Launching on October 10, Battlefield 6 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam, EA App, Epic Games Store). During the blockbuster event, Battlefield Studios provided a first look at new and returning multiplayer modes, a tantalizing sneak peek of the global scale blockbuster Single Player campaign and of course the evolution of Battlefield Portal.

The year is 2027. The world is on the edge of chaos. After a high-profile assassination shocks the world, major European countries have left NATO, while the US and its allies grapple with the fallout. A massive private military corporation unafraid to cross lines, with deep pockets and the latest tech, looks to fill the power vacuum. This army is PAX ARMATA. What's left of NATO is in tatters, wounded and battered. This is the world of Battlefield 6.

Electronic Arts recently posted its financial results for Q1 of the 2026 financial year, boasting a reasonably positive outlook for the rest of the year to come, but perhaps more interesting is what came in a Q&A session after the earnings call. According to an Investing.com, transcript of the Q&A session, EA is "not looking to make any changes on pricing at this stage," with the EA CEO saying that the studio's pricing structure allows it to offer something at varying different price tags. The CEO's statement notably leaves room for an $80 offering to be tacked onto the top of its current offerings, although it implies that a price increase might include additional value in some form or another.

Battlefield 6 is expected to be EA's next big launch, and there were fears among gamers that EA would join Nintendo in its push for $80 AAA games, but it seems as though the gaming giant is—at least for now—hesitant to raise prices to that level. Microsoft previously announced that it would also be sticking to the current $69.99 ceiling when it dropped the price of The Outer Worlds 2 from $79.99 back down to $69.99 over "market conditions," going as far as to issue $10 refunds to pre-order customers.

Electronic Arts today announced preliminary financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"We delivered a strong start to FY26, outperforming expectations ahead of what will be the most exciting launch slate in EA's history," said Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts. "From deepening player engagement in EA SPORTS to gearing up for Battlefield 6 and skate., we're scaling our global communities and continuing to shape the future of interactive entertainment."

Today, Electronic Arts Inc. and Battlefield Studios unveiled the reveal trailer for Battlefield 6, providing the world's first full look at the ultimate all-out warfare experience. The trailer offers a first look at Pax Armata, a Private Military Corporation bankrolled by former NATO states whose agenda threatens to throw the world into global conflict. This sets the scene for what players can expect on the battlefield - both in multiplayer and the return of the series' single player campaign.

In Battlefield 6, the series' incredible blend of visceral combat, epic warfare, and player freedom returns. Blow through walls and bring down buildings for a tactical advantage or take to the skies in white-knuckle dogfights. Take part in a war filled with tanks, fighter jets, and sweeping combat at a grand scale but remember: the deadliest weapon is your squad.

The pit lane is open, the cars are in grid formation, and the red lights are off! F1 25 has officially launched and is now in players' hands. We thought this would be a great moment to connect with F1's Creative Director, Gavin Cooper, for an exclusive Q&A. Gavin has been a creative force in game development for decades. He has worked on racing titles since the late '90s and has built a career out of making the most immersive titles with unrivaled authenticity enjoyed by millions of players and fans around the world.

Meanwhile, Formula 1 has surged in popularity around the globe, adding nearly 90 million new fans in 2024 including a rising profile within American pop culture, making it one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide. And F1 25 is the best place for players and fans to interact and celebrate their fandom. In our Q&A, Gavin shares his thoughts on how he and his team create the world's premier racing game, new technology advancements and how it impacts play, working with the community to make the best game possible, the summer blockbuster F1 movie and the game's unique tie-ins, and building a game that celebrates the sport, the fans, and the culture that surrounds it. Let's get into it.

Get ready to create your own F1 stories in fan-favorite My Team mode, with its largest update since its introduction. My Team invites you to take control as the Owner of your own Formula One team, placing more emphasis on managing the fates of both drivers in your team, and the team itself.

Choose your path through the thrilling third chapter of Braking Point, with different objectives for each driver at key moments in the story. In Braking Point, the legacy of the Konnersport team is at stake as a dramatic event throws the team into chaos. New features will let you experience the story your way, including alternative scenarios where you choose which driver to play in key races. F1 25 also lets you design your own team with enhanced customization, push the limits on sub-centimeter accurate LIDAR circuits, and team up for new online co-op events.

Hey racers, we know you're all excited to get your hands on the game this week—we can't wait to see what you think. In early testing, we have identified that the vast majority of game crashes on PC are resolved by making sure that graphics drivers are up-to-date. So that you have the best possible experience playing the game from lights-out, we recommend making sure this is the case before you load up F1 25 for the first time.

• For NVIDIA users please use the latest F1 25 Game Ready driver (576.52 released May 19th)

• For Intel, please use version 32.0.101.6795.

This Story is Yours. Leave your mark on the world of racing in F1 25, the official video game of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. Below, you can find the PC features you can enjoy in F1 25. We have covered everything from the newly introduced path tracing to playing on the keyboard, steering wheel, or controller.

Real Time Path Tracing
Path tracing lets us cast light rays from every pixel in the camera view and simulate the light bouncing 3-4 times around the scene. Each bounce samples a surface, and the light moves to the next surface. This makes a cloud of color that we can use some advanced algorithms to resolve back into pixels from the lit 3D scene. Path tracing offers the most advanced simulation of light interactions. For example, there are hundreds of thousands of light sources in Bahrain. Simulating the type of real time shadow interaction, self-reflection, and color bounce you get with path tracing is far ahead of older techniques.

Electronic Arts has confirmed that the next Battlefield title will arrive by March 31, 2026, at the latest, and a full public reveal is scheduled for this summer. The announcement came as part of EA's most recent financial report and shows the company's confidence in the franchise's future. EA CEO Andrew Wilson described the upcoming game as "a pivotal step in defining our next generation of blockbuster entertainment." His comments signal the publisher's intention to rebuild goodwill after fan disappointment with Battlefield 2042. Closed testing began in March under strict non-disclosure agreements, but a significant amount of gameplay footage has nonetheless appeared online. In response, developer DICE announced plans to expand the trial in May by inviting additional participants from Europe, North America and Asia. Players who wish to join the tests may still register through the official Battlefield website.

During this extended phase, DICE will concentrate on fine-tuning fundamental gameplay systems. Key focus areas include balancing weapon archetypes, adjusting damage values, refining movement mechanics and pacing the flow of combat. The team will also continue to evaluate destructible objects—such as barricades, vehicles and buildings—across multiple map environments. These tests aim to ensure that world destruction feels both dramatic and fair, allowing players to use terrain changes to their tactical advantage. Further community updates will delve into the roles of individual classes and the full scope of the all-out War Mode later this year. EA has adopted a more transparent development process than it did for its previous release, sharing frequent insights and responding directly to player feedback. Four internal studios—collectively known as Battlefield Studios—are collaborating on this project. DICE is leading the multiplayer experience, Motive is creating both multiplayer maps and single-player missions, Criterion is focused on the solo campaign and Ripple Effect is developing a brand-new series component.

In February, we announced Battlefield Labs as our most ambitious community collaboration in franchise history to validate the future of Battlefield. Today, we'll update you on our initial learnings and how we'll continue to scale testing into the future.

Across our four initial play sessions with a small group of core Battlefield players across Europe and North America, we've completed thousands of hours of gameplay, had hundreds of thousands of player spawns, and seen over a million environmental objects destroyed, including walls, windows, crates, and buildings your squad crashed the helicopter into.

Not long after announcing an "end of the road" for World Rally Championship (WRC) franchise development, Electronic Arts (EA) reportedly implemented an unspecified number of layoffs at Codemasters. This long-running British racing game specialist became a fully EA-owned property just over five years ago. Since then, the studio continued work on the F1 franchise—in addition, teams also branched off into the making of well-known EA racing IPs: Grid and WRC. On forums and social media, (non-Codemasters) EA staffers indicated that colleagues had lost their jobs. Video Games Chronicle reached out to the publisher, for comment on last week's conditions. On April 29, the American video game company announced the cutting of hundreds of roles, and the cancelation of unannounced projects.

In a statement issued to VGC, an EA spokesperson explained: "as a business, we are constantly evolving to meet the growing needs of our players and driving greater focus across our portfolio. This has led us to look at reducing some roles, while we redeploy as many as possible against our strategic priorities." As reported earlier this year, the company tends to "reshuffle" its development staff following the completion of projects. It is not clear how much of the internal setup at Codemasters has been re-jigged, but an EA Racing franchise social media manager provided a little bit of insight. In a past weekend forum post, they posited that: "there's a lot of talent up for grabs now—the audio and vehicle art teams were some of the best in the business; and any game with cars in it should tap them up." Criterion could be an ideal location for transfers, but this Surrey, UK-based studio's focus has been redirected to non-racing IPs.

Dear Rally Community, every great journey eventually finds its finish line, and today, we announce that we've reached the end of the road working on WRC. After releasing EA SPORTS WRC in 2023, the 2024 season, including the recently released Hard Chargers Content pack, will be our last expansion. For now, we are pausing development plans on future rally titles. Rest assured, EA SPORTS WRC will continue to be available for existing and new players. We hope it remains a source of joy, excitement, and the thrill of rally racing. We've poured our hearts into making it for fans, and we know you'll keep the passion alive.

Our WRC partnership was a culmination of sorts for our Codemasters journey with off-road racing, spanning decades through titles like Colin McRae Rally, and DiRT. We've provided a home for every rally enthusiast, striving tirelessly to push the boundaries and deliver the exhilarating thrill of driving on the ragged edge. We've brought together incredibly talented racing developers, worked with some of the sport's icons, and had the opportunity to share our love of rallying. Thank you to all the fans who have and continue to be part of our rally journey.

F1 25 marks the return of the narrative-driven, Braking Point, an epic Formula 1 blockbuster mode set to excite players new and old when the game releases on May 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The fictional tale puts you right into the action, as the fate and destiny of the characters you control rests in your racing-gloved hands. So, with this being the latest instalment in the Braking Point story, how did we get here?

The Story So Far
While having roots back to F1 2019, Braking Point's debut in F1 2021 offered players the opportunity to adopt the role of Aiden Jackson, an F1 rookie looking to make a name for himself in the sport. He was met with many challenges along the way, including a ruthless rival, Devon Butler, a driver who would stop at nothing to succeed. In F1 23's instalment, which focused on the 2022 and 2023 seasons and the introduction of fictional team Konnersport, familiar faces returned alongside new protagonist Callie Mayer, the first woman to win the F2 Championship. The once infamous Devon Butler has his perspective of the sport turned upside down, opening up a spot for Callie's break into F1.

At Star Wars Celebration Japan, Electronic Arts Inc. revealed Star Wars Zero Company, a single-player turn-based tactics game developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. In Star Wars Zero Company, players will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer, to command an elite squad of cunning operatives through a gritty and authentic story set in the twilight of the Clone Wars. As an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy, Zero Company must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds and take on an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked.

"Our vision for Star Wars Zero Company is grounded in gameplay design pillars that weave in the immersive Star Wars galaxy with engaging turn-based tactics gameplay," said Greg Foertsch, CEO and Creative Director at Bit Reactor. "It's our aim to deliver a game with an original Star Wars story from the Clone Wars era that has meaningful outcomes from player choices, and deep turn-based tactical combat with an approachable and cinematic presentation."

Recruit an unconventional team of operatives and deploy them on missions unlike any other in the galaxy far, far away in Star Wars Zero Company! The newly announced single-player turn-based tactics game, developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, will share the first details about the game currently in development with attendees at Star Wars Celebration Japan. Here's your exclusive first look at Star Wars Zero Company and just a few members of the elite squad under your command. The upcoming turn-based tactics game puts you in command during the Clone Wars.

Bit Reactor Developer Panel featuring Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games
Join Bit Reactor, along with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, for a first look at a new Star Wars turn-based tactics game. Tune into the Star Wars Celebration on April 19, Live on the Galaxy Stage—4:30PM - 5:30PM—for a first look at STAR WARS Zero Company, a single-player turn-based tactics game coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Introducing My Team 2.0: as mentioned as part of our Reveal, My Team is having its biggest overhaul since it was introduced in F1 2020. If you've played My Team in one of our previous F1 games, you'll be familiar with taking on the role of driver/owner, a single character that not only runs the day-to-day activities behind the scenes, but also jumps into the cockpit for the on-track action. For F1 25 however, we're shaking things up, as My Team 2.0 sees you take on a more authentic, management-focused role in that of a team owner.

In addition to handling day-to-day running of the critical facilities that make an F1 team tick such as Engineering, Personnel and Corporate, you'll be responsible for recruiting and managing a pair of drivers to represent your team. Then, during race weekends, you'll be given the choice as to which driver you'd like to take to the track. By managing the competing concerns of two drivers instead of just a single teammate, you'll discover what kind of owner you'd like to be. We believe this refreshed approach allows you to craft a My Team story that's unique to you, unlocking new avenues of decision-making for you to explore.

Early last month, video game industry watchdogs posited that Respawn Entertainment's reportedly canceled "unannounced incubation project" was some type of Titanfall IP. Certain insiders believed that the recently scrapped project was a "smaller-scale" multiplayer-focused game, rather than a full sequel to 2016's franchise entry. The long dormant first-person shooter sci-fi series has attracted a cult following, but Respawn pivoted with the IP's universe into producing Apex Legends—an extremely popular free-to-play online shooter. Hopes for a third Titanfall title have been revived once more; courtesy of two notorious Apex Legend data miners—YOROTSUKI and Osvaldatore. Earlier today, the latter figure uploaded a cryptic "Titanfall 3" logo to social media. In a more elaborate follow-up post, YOROTSUKI leaked some alleged "inner circle" info.

They dismissed comments about their collaborator simply playing a prank—too late for April Fool's day. They referred back to December, when they openly discussed Respawn's "development of a secret game." These past Discord conversations are now linked forward to an alleged still alive "Titanfall 3" project. YOROTSUKI predicts an unveiling to the public during The Game Awards 2025—so December, at the earliest. An official launch window is allegedly on the EA release calendar for 2026. As interpreted by MP1st, this new leak should be absorbed with maybe more than one grain of salt—the online publication has spent time sniffing out a Respawn Entertainment-adjacent property. Allegedly "Project Bruno" is Bit Reactor's "Star Wars turn-based tactics game," due for an official reveal later this month.

Over three years ago, Bit Reactor was announced as the lead development partner on a mysterious "Star Wars strategy game." According to an early 2022 press release, Respawn Entertainment would collaborate on this new IP project. As disclosed in a recent Star Wars Celebration LIVE! schedule, company representatives will present a "first look at a new Star Wars turn-based tactics" title on Saturday, April 19. MP1st has somewhat spoiled this upcoming public reveal, by publishing an article that contains an impressive collection of "sneak peek" screenshots from project "Bruno." This alleged internal codename was uncovered when the online publication "procured" images from an unnamed Bit Reactor artist's portfolio. MP1st claims that the leaked images are: "dated to mid-2023, indicating that they belong to an early build of the game...The gameplay screenshots showcase elements common to the turn-based genre, like an isometric view and a party of characters."

Familiar Star Wars faction designs and technologies are showcased in captures of this older "Bruno" build. Gameplay and user interface concepts seemingly demonstrate where Bit Reactor's collective expertise lies. The Baltimore metropolitan area-based studio is headed by Greg Foerstch (formerly of Firaxis Games); a tenured artistic director of multiple turn-based strategy favorites. His indie outfit describes how members have (previously): "developed some of the most successful games you've heard of, such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elders Scrolls Online. We learned from the best and reached the pinnacle with the highest accolades, including Game of the Year and BAFTA." As interpreted by MP1st, the leaked early interface mock-ups suggest a multi-platform release—with "controller button" prompts spotted on several shots.

Take center stage in EA SPORTS F1 25, releasing worldwide on May 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. As Formula 1 celebrates its 75th anniversary, F1 25 reflects the real-world sport's biggest driver line-up change in years, featuring six rookie drivers and the landmark move of seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who makes the unprecedented switch from Mercedes to Ferrari. As the F1 25 Iconic Edition cover star, fans of Lewis and Ferrari will be able to show their support with a number of in-game perks tied to that edition of the game. With new stars trying to make a name for themselves, established drivers challenging for podiums, and drivers aiming for a World Championship on a new team, F1 25 lets you re-create every breathtaking moment through single-player and new collaborative options.

Blockbuster Action at Every Turn
Take the spotlight and experience the latest instalment of the fan-favorite story mode, Braking Point, with Konnersport taking the fight to the biggest names on the grid. Hot off the heels of the 2023 season and under new ownership, the familiar faces of Callie Mayer, Aiden Jackson, and of course, Devon Butler, make their return. However, with a dramatic event threatening to derail their title aspirations, will you have what it takes to steer the team to championship glory? Featuring rebalanced difficulty options that cater to new and veteran players, decisions you make will have an impact on how this thrilling chapter unfolds.
