@Pirat_Nation I dont play live service games anymore. But this should be expected with any live service. There is only so much you can do in the game. The numbers won't peak again until new content comes out.
ARC Raiders has lost around 81% of its players since launch, peaking at 466,000 concurrent players on Steam.
Four months later, the player base has dropped to 80-90k players, so nearly 81%.
People are getting bored of the repetitive content in PvE gameplay, and many have complained about the cheater problem.
I think a major update with a new map and fresh enemies is what the game needs right now.
@Jack16_reeves@Pirat_Nation TLOU2 fans are such thin skinned pussies. I did play it. Its trash compared to the original TLOU. I will repeat myself for you. Naughty Dog as a company under Neil Cuckman is fucking woke! You can do 10 seconds of research online and see all the bullshit they push.
Naughty Dog is reportedly working on The Last of Us Part III right now.
Trusted insider (Alir) says the studio currently has three projects in active development:
1. Their announced new IP — Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
2. A new Uncharted game (widely expected to be Uncharted 5)
3. The Last of Us Part III
According to the report, TLOU3 is the third and final project, meaning it would arrive after the other two, so we’re probably still looking at a late-PS5 or even early-PS6 window.
This lines up exactly with what Neil Druckmann has said multiple times: the team has “one more story” they want to tell in this universe, but only if it feels right.
@Pirat_Nation Doesn't matter when all your games are woke slop. I bought my 1st Xbox to play Halo. Now Halo is lame & gay. I have zero reason to even look at anything Xbox does.
Xbox are reportedly considering a return to exclusives.
According to Jez Corden on XB2, “There are very, very big discussions regarding exclusivity internally at Xbox”.
Recent reports also suggest Xbox leadership is actively debating whether its long-term future is better served as a multiplatform publisher or by rebuilding the value of the Xbox ecosystem through first-party exclusives.
Xbox needs system-selling titles that give players a reason to invest in the new console and Game Pass.
Fable has reportedly been internally delayed, though it is still currently planned for a Fall 2026 release.
According to reports, the game remains on track for this year, but there is still a possibility of a further delay depending on the release window.
If its launch date ends up too close to Grand Theft Auto VI, the title could potentially be pushed into 2027 to avoid direct competition.
For now, the expected release window remains Fall 2026
Pearl Abyss has begun R&D to port the graphically demanding open-world action game Crimson Desert to Nintendo Switch 2.

Left to fester for 1000 years, Umbral returns more horrifying than ever. Witness its reveal in today’s Lifting the Veil…
Sony is reportedly working on its own dedicated PC launcher for PlayStation games.
>PSN account to play, let Sony keep 100% of the revenue instead of giving a cut to Steam
>Possibly block their titles from running on Microsoft’s upcoming Project Helix hybrid console.
>The first major title to use this approach could be Marvel’s Wolverine.
Sony has not made any official statement yet.
Pearl Abyss shares dropped nearly 33% today after Crimson Desert received reviews below the high expectations investors had built up over its long development.
@NFLSTROUD Not offering him an contact extension before last season and drafting a WR in round 1. Yep, sounds like they desperately tried to ensure Mike retired here.
Jason Licht on Mike Evans leaving for the 49ers. “I feel like we did everything we could. I had a lot of talks with Mike about that,” Licht said. He added the Bucs offer was actually for more money.
It's Friday and I'm playing Nioh 3 and Monster Hunter Stories 3 this weekend

@superbob10000@gregauman You sounds like a cuck. I'm a real Bucs fan. I'm not going to accept my team losing the division to the Panthers or anyone else. I will not get on board with being a loser! I expect the bucs to improve, not take steps backwards. Go watch the wnba, pussy.
More on new Bucs defensive lineman A'Shawn Robinson -- he's 30, good size at 6-3, 320 pounds. Played at Alabama, 10 years in NFL. After seven sacks in first eight years, he had eight in last two with Carolina, adding some pass rush to solid run defense. PFF had him 45 of 127 DLs.
