In today's Daily Fix:Highguard debuted on Steam this past weekend to big concurrent numbers, but user reviews are telling a different story. The game currently sits at a 'Mostly Negative' score, with many users complaining about the size of the map (too large), action phases (too little), and visuals (too bland). However, many agree that riding the mounts is actually pretty fun.
In today's Daily Fix:The internet is apparently worried that the upcoming Resident Evil: Requiem will ditch the series' spooky corridor environments for a full open world. Speaking with Game Informer, the game's director wanted to make clear that the game will not be 'open world.' If you're curious as to how this game will handle the dual protagonist switching, check out our preview now up on IGN. In other news, actor Eman Ayaz has posted a video to her personal YouTube page lamenting the cancellation of a project she was involved with, and it sounds an awful lot like the Prince of Persia remake. And finally, expect a new Nintendo Direct this Thursday.
In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft finally showed off Forza Horizon 6 gameplay in yesterday's Developer_Direct, and of course the game looks gorgeous. You'll be able to play the game ahead of its official May 15 release date if you jump on the premium upgrade, but it'll cost you the price of a new game. For about $60, you get access to upcoming expansions, car packs, more cosmetics, and early access. If you're a Game Pass subscriber, you're getting the game for free, so that makes the upgrade price a little easier to swallow. In other news, the Fable reboot devs have revealed some of the inspiration for the game: modern British sitcoms. And speaking of sitcoms, Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute from the American version of The Office are coming to Fortnite.
In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft had their first Xbox Developer_Direct of the year, and two of their biggest titles headlined the show. Playground Games's Forza Horizon 6 and the Fable reboot both had new gameplay reveals, along with release window confirmations—Forza Horizon 6 in May and Fable later this year. Other titles shown off were Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation and Double Fine's Kiln. And in Nintendo news, Super Mario Wonder's Switch 2 update got a release date along with new Amiibo.
In today's Daily Fix:Major changes are coming to Ubisoft as the company is restructuring following layoffs. Several studios have closed and a handful of projects have been canceled, including the Prince of Persia remake that was announced a few years ago. Ubisoft's remaining studios are being reorganized to focus on the company's more successful or well-known IPs. In related news, a patch has been made available for Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal which provides several current-gen updates such as 60fps. Nintendo has also updated Donkey Kong Country Returns HD with a new playable character, a new mode, and other updates for the Switch 2. And finally, a new mode is coming to Fortnite with a new Fortnite x Fall Guys crossover.
In today's Daily Fix:A new wave of games are being added to Xbox Game Pass, and Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is leading the charge. The third-person action shooter has never made it to any gaming subscription service, so this is a big win for Game Pass. In other news, sales of Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 saw an uptick since the announcement of the new Divinity game. Larian Studios also said there was an overall increase in peak concurrent numbers, with Original Sin 2 having its best month since its release in 2017. And finally, one of the original designers of Tomb Raider has confirmed that Lara Croft almost got an anime- and manga-inspired redesign for the first game.
In today's Daily Fix:After months of rumors, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down. She will return to producing films, which is what she did throughout the 80's and 90's until her appointment as President of Lucasfilm when George Lucas sold the company to Disney. Taking her place is Dave Filoni who is already overseeing several Star Wars projects, and Lynwen Brennan, who has held executive positions at Lucasfilm since 1999. In other news, Julian Gerighty is leaving Ubisoft—where he worked on The Division and Star Wars Outlaws—for a job working on Battlefield for Electronic Arts. And finally, infamously bad DS game Cory in the House is being review bombs—but the opposite way than what we're used to seeing. The positive buzz is a result of an internet joke that's also cause copies of the game to skyrocket on eBay.
In today's Daily Fix:Former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick is responding to a lawsuit by claiming he was right to sell Activision to Microsoft a few years ago. The lawsuit claims Kotick rushed through the sale of Activision in order to keep his job and insulate himself from claims he knew about widespread reports of sexual harassment at the company. Kotick in turn is claiming that with Call of Duty's sales performance dropping year over year, it was the right move to sell Activision at that time. In other news, Meta is shifting its gaming focus away from the metaverse and is shuttering several VR studios and laying off hundreds. And finally, PS Plus games for January have been announced.
In today's Daily Fix:Battlefield Studios is delaying the launch of Battlefield 6 Season 2 to address community feedback. Fans have previously complained about the lack of updates and content in Season 1, so the team is taking extra time to work on Season 2, which will now drop on February 17. In other news, Ninja Theory is reportedly working on a new Hellblade game, this one meant to be more of a 'game' that the previous two. While Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 was praised for its story and visuals, many complained there wasn't much of a game to actually play. And finally, scalpers are already selling pre-orders for the recently-announced LEGO Pokémon sets for hundreds more than the MSRP. Of particular value is the gym badge set, which is only included with the nearly $700 Charizard-Venusaur-Blastoise set.
In today's Daily Fix:LEGO and Pokémon are finally releasing sets featuring some of the franchise's iconic pocket monsters. The three sets will feature Pikachu, Eevee, and a mega set with Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. However, the sets will cost you—$59.99 for Eevee, $199.99 for Pikachu, and a whopping $649.99 for the triple set. In other news, The Division could be getting a definitive edition 10 years after it first released. The game has already seen a sequel, with a third main entry and a mobile game on the way. And finally, Avatar: Fire and Ash has made more than $1 billion in theaters, which has pushed Zoe Saldaña ito the top of A-list box office earners, surpassing previous record-holder (and fellow MCU alumn) Scarlett Johansson.
In today's Daily Fix:Developers at Pearl Abyss have dropped some details on the world of Crimson Desert. Via the Gaming Interviews YouTube channel, the devs had specified that the open world of Crimson Desert is about twice as large as Skyrim's, and larger as a whole than Red Dead Redemption 2. But they're aware that a large, empty world is no fun to play in, so the game will be 'incredibly interactive.' In other news, Larian Studios did an AMA on Reddit, and the company confirmed their upcoming Divinity RPG will have co-op. You will also be able to make meaningful changes to the story. And finally, fans of BioWare's Anthem are rallying to save the game ahead of server closures next week. The game was an infamous misfire for BioWare, and it never really found an audience large enough to support the game's live-service ambitions. But fans are working to get custom servers up, as the game will go offline permamently when the last official serviers go dark on Monday.
In today's Daily Fix:The Witcher 3 maybe 10 years old, but that's not stopping the rumor mill from suggesting new DLC is on the way. Via IGN Poland, sources have apparently been aware of plans to drop a new expansion featuring the desert region Zerrikania. CD Projekt Red has not confirmed anything, but they have reportedly been dropping hints. In other news, Nintendo has revealed a new set of Joy-Con 2 dropping at the same time as the new Mario Tennis Fever game. "Light Green" and "Light Purple" will retail as a pair for $100. And finally, a new Xbox Developer Direct is dropping on January 22, and will give us first gameplay of Forza Horizon 6 and a fresh look at the Fable reboot.
In today's Daily Fix:A website featuring an interactive map of the settings from the Fallout live-action series has fans hoping a remake announcement is coming soon. The map features a timer that seems to line up with the finale of Fallout Season 2, but with evidence already out there that a Fallout 3 remake is in the works, fans are hoping this leads to an official announcement, or maybe even a remake/remaster of Fallout: New Vegas. In other news, games industry analysts have revealed the most-played games of 2025, and surprise surprise, it's the same list from 2024. Call of Duty, GTA V, Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite are the most-played games at least two years in a row. And speaking of Fornite, the South Park collab has leaked, and the gameplay features a clever way to showcase fourth-graders in the game.
In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft has announced Wave 1 of its January Xbox Game Pass titles, and there are a few heavy hitters. Star Wars: Outlaws, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, and Resident Evil Village are headlining the service. Resident Evil is particularly timely, considering Requiem drops next month. In other news, PlayStation has patented a new AI Assists feature that can take over if you're stuck in a game. The model can be trained on previous playing sessions or from clips posted to YouTube and Twitch, and can player progress on a granular level in order to understand what they're trying to achieve. And finally, Nvidia has introduced DLSS 4.5, with improved image quality and 6x multi-frame generation. Over 400 titles already support DLSS 4.5 and it will be available in GeForce driver update 591.74.
In today's Daily Fix:Ryan Coogler has revealed what the orignial plan was for Black Panther 2 prior to Chadwick Boseman's death. Via the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Coogler shared that the story originally centered around T'Challa (Boseman) and his son, Toussaint. Boseman lost his battle with cancer, and both Coogler and Disney agreed they would not recast the role of T'Challa. What we got instead was Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which focused on T'Challa's sister, Shuri, as she claimed the mantle of Black Panther. In other Marvel news, the studio dropped a new teaser for next year's Avengers: Doomsday, this one centered around Thor. And James Cameron has a plan for Avatar 4 and 5 if Disney doesn't let him make them as movies.

In today's Daily Fix:Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has commented on the collaboration between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo on the Hyrule Warriors games. Aonuma said that while he hoped the next main series Zelda game would be the Switch 2's first, some elements from Age of Imprisonment did inspire parts of his upcoming game. In Xbox news, the actor who portrayed Joanna Dark in the cancelled Perfect Dark reboot said she did 'entire chapters' of mocap for the game. She confirmed there was a plan to salvage a 'slimmed' down version, but ultimate the project was cancelled.

In today's Daily Fix:Things aren't looking good for Xbox on the hardware front. The latest sales data from Circana shows a massive 70% drop in Xbox hardware sales year-over-year in the U.S. To be fair, hardware sales for the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 were also down from November of 2024, but these numbers are especially damaging to Xbox. This year alone saw two significant price hikes on Xbox hardware. In other news, Sony and Tencent have agreed to a 'confidential settlement' with the Light of Motiram lawsuit. The game has now seemingly been pulled from Steam and the Epic Game Store. No cancellation has been announced. And finally, FIFA is back as the organization has announced a new game in partnership with...Netflix?
In today's Daily Fix:Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 may have been the best-selling game of November, but Battlefield 6 is on track to win the year. The latest sales data from Circana is positioning Battlefield to top Call of Duty for the first time in the two franchises' rivalry. In other news, Terminator: Survivors has been delayed indefinitely. The sci-fi survival game was announced a couple of years ago, and we haven't really seen much from it. And in related news, James Cameron is returning to the Terminator franchise once he's done with the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash. Cameron also stated that it's time for new characters in the series, so don't expect mainstay Arnold Schwarzenegger to return.
