Split Fiction is doing great: over 1 million copies sold in two days and the majority of them are on Steam.

Respawn is laying off staff: people from Apex and Jedi teams are also affected, two early stage projects are cancelled.

Goodbye, Titanfall 3?

#EA@GameDEV
#LayOffs@GameDEV

More details from Jason Schreier: EA fired 300-400 people across the whole company, over 100 of them were from Respawn Entertainment.

The biggest project they cancelled is the extraction shooter based on Titanfall/Apex universe. Since several new extraction games failed to gain traction or engagement, EA is probably doing the right thing.

It's not the first wave of layoffs in EA this year (the biggest one was at Bioware). But they hope it will be the last one.

It's curious that EA is under pressure from all fronts: InZOI is way more popular than The Sims, several new football games are stealing attention from EA FC 25, Dragon Age got no sales (compared to AC Shadows, Kingdom Come II, Oblivion, and Expedition 33), and even Battlefield is facing pressure from Delta Force.

What is going on with EA?

Stop Killing Games just forced EA to… shut down more games in advance: Need For Speed Rivals will go offline on October 7, 2025. FIFA 23, NHL 21, and Madden 22 will also be closed in October.

And Anthem is going dark too, but on January 12, 2026. I thought it was already down for quite some time.

But they were doing it for years, by the way. Here's the full list: https://www.ea.com/legal/service-updates/a-h

If this turns out to be a flop, I certainly won’t fall for it again in five years... right?

There's something unbelievable going on and all polls are nearly identical even among CoD fans:

No one gives a damn about the upcoming Black Ops, but people are generally hyped about Battlefield 6.

You can download Open Beta of Battlefield 6
(The access will be available later)

The beta of Battlefield 6 isn't out yet, but 47 000+ people are waiting for it a day in advance. And the counter keeps rising.

A good preview:

The open beta reached over 330K CCU and gained fairly positive feedback. Battlefield 6 is surprisingly fast, intense, and more focused on ground forces and tight combat.

The vehicles oriented maps are yet to be revealed. And some players believe it is intentionally competing against Call of Duty.

If you want to play BF6 now (and not wait for Open Open Beta), you can just launch your EA App, open Twitch, open ANY BF6 stream of a big streamer and get a key from his chat to activate in EA app.

Yes, it gives you early access for free.
Users also drop some extra they have.
Bots drop them every few minues.

Wait, is the game good?
Feels like BF4 + Insurgency Sandstorm!
(And I like it)
