Players are reacting to the price increase by canceling their subscriptions or downgrading to cheaper plans, such as PC Game Pass. Newegg is now offering a discounted three-month subscription code for the PC-only service at $29.99.
I still remember the excitement around the open beta – it was incredible! Thousands of players, around 40,000, were actually waiting in the game’s menu screen days before it even launched. And the interest was huge online, with over 850,000 people tuning in to Twitch just to get a first look at what DICE had created.
Take Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, for example. I completely missed that release, to be honest. It’s a good move to support players who haven’t been able to afford new consoles, especially with Microsoft raising the price of the current generation.
I recently toured the campus and was especially impressed by Fab 52, Intel’s newest and biggest facility. It’s equipped with the most advanced chip-making technology available and will be used to create Intel’s next generation of processors using the 18A process.
I recently visited Intel in Chandler, Arizona, to get a preview of their next-generation Panther Lake chips. I also learned about the new Intel Arc B-Series graphics processing unit, which will be included with these chips.
During my time at Intel in Chandler, Arizona, I gained valuable knowledge about technologies like Panther Lake and Intel Arc graphics, as well as the semiconductor manufacturing process. However, the most exciting news I heard came during a presentation: Intel is planning to release gaming handheld devices powered by Panther Lake.
Intel’s new Panther Lake processors are built using a groundbreaking 2nm technology, called Intel 18A. This advancement is thanks to the state-of-the-art equipment in Fab 52, Intel’s newest factory located at the Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona.
As a huge gaming fan, I was really not surprised to see NBA 2K26 topping the charts this month! It’s amazing. Madden NFL 26 was right behind it, which makes sense since it was so popular last month. But what really excited me was seeing two new games break into the top four – 2K’s Mafia: The Old Country at number three, and Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater grabbing the fourth spot! It’s a great time to be a gamer.
This gaming accessory combines cutting-edge technology with a comfortable and long-lasting build. Originally priced at $49.99, it’s now available on Amazon for just $39.99, making it a great value.
The game has reached another significant achievement just weeks after selling 4.4 million copies in September. That milestone followed another one in May, when sales hit 3.3 million. These numbers don’t include players accessing the game through Xbox Game Pass.
