Resident Evil Requiem sales exceed 6 million units, which is the fastest that a title in the series has reached this milestone. Capcom will celebrate the 30th anniversary for the series on March 22 with "various plans to delight series fans."

Its now been 10 days since Marathon launched. The game seems to plateau around 50k-60k concurrent players on Steam, which is slightly below Helldivers 2 & Battlefield 6, but above Call of Duty. I'm curious how PlayStation views the launch, which wasn't huge, but holds steady.

Nobody Wants to Die is a very impressive indie game. Production values are kinda insane and it runs very smoothly on consoles at 60fps too. Yes, its a walking sim, but its an interesting mix of Blade Runner, LA Noire and Altered Carbon.

Approximately 50% of total unit sales are from PC sales, and Capcom expect this ratio to continue increasing. Capcom plans to "further strengthen our PC development framework" and the technical lessons learned from Monster Hunter Wilds "will be applied to future title development."

Sixteen years ago today, Sony acquired Media Molecule for an undisclosed fee. Under PlayStation ownership, the studio created LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2, Tearaway, Tearaway: Unfolded and Dreams. It has not shipped a game since 2020.

Resident Evil Requiem is off to a very strong start on Steam. The game has reached 291k concurrent players peak, easily beating the 168k record of Resident Evil 4 Remake. It will likely go even higher over the weekend. More success for Capcom!

JDM: Japanese Drift Master has turned a profit for developer Gaming Factory. Total revenue for the game exceeded PLN 18 million. The game has sold 244.4k units across all platforms, with 217k on PC (May 21), 13k on Xbox (November 21) and 14.4k on PS5 (February 6). www.bankier.pl/wiadomosc/GA...

The new Prologue DLC for Neva is a fantastic addition to the already incredible base game. Insane value at just $2.99 for the DLC. If you haven't played it already, now's a great time to jump in. The art and music are spectacular on my OLED and Atmos setup. Support your indies!

Sony closing Bluepoint in a way puts even more pressure on Marathon to deliver commercially. You can already tell by the comments on the awkwardly timed Marathon post just now. Somehow I fear it won't be the breakout hit that Sony thinks it will be.

2026: Closed - Atomic Arcade - Armature Studio - Twisted Pixel - Sanzaru Games - Bluepoint Games Lay-offs - Ubisoft Toronto ~40 staff - Cloudhead Studios 70% of staff - Wildlight Ent. "mass layoffs" - 10 Chambers Collective "significant restructering" - RIOT 2XKO ~80 staff

Despite several key updates for PAYDAY 3 in Q4 2025, the game could not generate more revenue than PAYDAY 2. For the year 2025, revenue for PAYDAY 2 was up 20% YoY while PAYDAY 3 revenue declined 8% YoY. PAYDAY 3 was one of the 'free' PlayStation Plus games in February 2025.

The new Screamer racing game looks interesting and could be fun but its kinda crazy how its sent out to die at full price basicly. I fear that any racing game that isn't Forza, Gran Turismo or Mario Kart is a hard sell at full price these days.
