Call of Duty has been the top dog for years when it comes to games sold and money made in the FPS genre and though Battlefield has been a rival franchise for years it’s never really been close...
However, now EA’s CEO seems hopeful that Battlefield could have a fighting chance if Call of Duty becomes Xbox exclusive after Microsoft’s big Activision acquisition. Watch this week’s episode of Roundup to find out why!
In other news; Xbox now lets you play (some) games offline, lead hero designer leaves Overwatch 2, Star Citizen has raised $500 million, and the oldest active MMO is finally getting sound.
In this week’s 5-Second Review Brian contemplates what ti would be like to become royalty and the Coming Soon section heralds in a mouse game, a beer game, a pony game, and Moonbreaker which looks like a sick miniatures-influenced tabletop RPG.
Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend!
