Today marks the first day of Season 2 in FIFA 21. That means a brand new battle pass-like system and tons of new objectives to start working on in FUT. For this go-around, EA Sports has made a few small changes to what we saw last year. Notably, we’re getting mid-level players rewards much earlier

EA’s Star Wars: Squadrons has been doing well for itself since launching last month. Obviously, it wasn’t the critical hit the company was probably hoping for. That said, the first-person dogfighter has built a solid audience and sold a fair share of copies in its launch month. And now, the team is dropping two free
FIFA 21 has taken a big step over the last week to finally give players better control and information about their spending and playtime. EA Sports new Playtime feature first rolled out on PC last week and now it’s available across the board. It lets you monitor how much time and money you’ve spent on
Developer, publisher, and frequent games industry punching bag EA is facing yet another class-action lawsuit, this time in the state of California, for its loot boxes and microtransactions within its lineup of sports franchises over the last four years according to a report from GamesIndustry.biz.

The world of cosplay is an amazing and exciting place to be apart of, even if you’re just an outsider looking in at all the talent and recognizing your favorite character strutting around in front of you. It’s a tough business too, constantly pushing yourself to be the best not to mention how much work
As much as I love so many things about Star Wars–its universe, characters, and story–one of the most memorable elements of the series to me has always been its space battles and ships. Take it from someone that spent countless time building a Y-Wing (my personal favorite ship) out of LEGO and playing with X-Wing and
Apex Legends looks as if it might be getting another new Legend after the latest patch seems to have been datamined and information uncovered regarding a new set of challenges. And every Apex Legends player knows that titled challenges usually mean a new character. @Biast12 shared a wealth of datamined information, the most noteworthy being a new character
Where to start with FIFA 21? Last year I gave the game a 7.5 and then a few months later wanted to drop that grade by three or four points. This was largely because of various title updates EA made to the game really screwed up the gameplay and changes to Ultimate Team in the
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit remains one of the high watermarks for the long-running series. It was Criterion Games’ first game since releasing the wildly successful Burnout Paradise and the studio’s first go at the Need for Speed property. Hot Pursuit built on that successful foundation while also taking the series back its roots. Well,
NHL 21 is about to be upon us. The game launches October 16, and EA announced today that fans who pre-order will get an enticing new bonus. The team has taken today’s rosters and put them inside classic NHL 94 gameplay. If you pre-order this year’s game, that mode comes with it. And, while it
Apex Legends is already one of the more popular battle royales out there. However, it’s about to get even better. As part of the upcoming Aftermarket Collection Event, the game will get cross-play. Now, the much-requested feature is still in beta, but it’s still a step toward what everyone wants. Of course, it’s far from
Today marks the release of the FIFA 21 Web App for Ultimate Team. That means anyone as obsessed with FIFA as I am can log in and start the process of upgrading their team through pack opening and trading. Plus, it means we get a confirmed picture of what players will have waiting for them
Although Microsoft won’t be able to release Halo Infinite as a launch title for Xbox Series X | S later this year, the company will deliver a ton of cross-gen and next-gen games through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

ZeniMax’s recent acquisition by Microsoft has revealed some interesting facts about the company’s recent activities and customer’s in the video game industry. The latest one is a report by Bloomberg that claims EA was also interested in acquiring Bethesda, but fortunately, it didn’t happen. Bethesda’s merger to Xbox Game Studios was truly one of the
FIFA 21 is bringing back one of the bigger fan-favorite SBCs after tossing them aside in FIFA 20. Icon SBCs were always a solid way to slowly build up to getting the most famous players in your squad. EA replaced them with Icon Swaps last year, which gave players a chance to earn Icons through
In terms of video games, the yearly Madden release used to be one of the biggest events there was. Not only did it signify the busy holiday season was nearly upon us, but it was also one of the few games that casual gamers bought in droves. In the US, at least, Madden was one
The timing is later than usual, but the first look at EA Sports’ NHL 21 will arrive Monday with the game’s official reveal trailer and likely the announcement of its cover star. The upcoming iteration of EA’s annual hockey franchise was quietly announced last month in a letter published by series developer EA Vancouver, which
We’re due to see a new legend enter the arena in Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends, and while we saw a cinematic trailer showing off the new legend, Rampart, we didn’t know much about their backstory until the new character trailer launched. But there’s also news on some exclusive charms coming to those who may be looking at
It’s been 13 years since the last true Def Jam game. 13 years too long. It seems like Def Jam Recordings — or at least the person behind their Twitter account — agrees. Monday night, the official Def Jam Records Twitter account posted a screenshot of the Def Jam: Fight For NY character select screen with
Recently, I got to sit down with a relatively early beta build of FIFA 21 and play about a Weekend’s League worth of matches. For those of you non-FUT players, that’s about 30 games spread across Kick-Off and Volta (the only two modes available). Unfortunately, for you Volta fans (I assume there are some of
The financial report for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2021 for EA shows a significant increase in the number of players in the FIFA and Madden series.

For FIFA 20 FUT players everywhere, today is an important day. With Summer Heat starting to wind down after over a month of solid content, EA Sports has officially dropped some of the year’s best cards back into packs. Additionally, the team is kicking off the game’s eighth season, bringing tons of new stuff to
The hero shooter subgenre is an odd one. It’s not an oversaturated market, at least not yet, but instead, one that’s so dominated by a select few successes that it’s an uphill battle for any new game to come in and gain a foothold. For every Overwatch or Apex Legends, there’s a Battleborn and LawBreakers
Remember when it was announced that Crysis, the game that used to be the benchmark for gaming PCs, was heading to the Nintendo Switch as a remastered edition? If you were like me and wondering how on Earth the game would look running on Nintendo’s handheld system, then you’re in luck because there’s a tech trailer
I’ll be perfectly honest, the idea for this piece came from the book Designing Games by Tynan Sylvester. Sylvester is one of my favorite developers; he worked on BioShock Infinite, admittedly my least favorite entry in the series, and then went on to found Ludeon Studios, the developers behind RimWorld. His book has little to do with the games he
Konami’s long standing rival to FIFA has lost two of its major licenses, the developer has confirmed. In a recent post, Konami shared that their licenses with Italian giants Inter Milan and AC Milan would not be renewed in PES going forwards. While this looks like it could be a problem for future editions of
A report by the House Of Lords Gambling committee in the UK has suggested that in-game loot boxes need heavier restrictions placed against them. The report defines loot boxes as “things in video games where you are handing over money and you are getting something uncertain that is determined randomly in some way.” These items
Burnout Paradise Remastered on the Switch is excellent. It looks the way you remember it, runs like a dream, and offers a complete package with tons of things to do and cars to collect. But it’s also a port of a two-year old remaster of a 12-year old game, which released at a $49.99 USD
During EA Play 2020, Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends appeared with details that the game would be heading to the Nintendo Switch later this year.
