Bungie released its sci-fi extraction shooter Marathon on March 5, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC at a $40 price point. The launch has been mostly stable, though some players discovered beta loot carrying over unexpectedly, while the studio addressed datamining and outlined consumer-friendly seasonal passes. An ESRB rating mentioning PS4 and Xbox One versions appeared unannounced.
A group of gamers and activists gathered outside Electronic Arts headquarters in Redwood City on May 11 to voice opposition to the company's recent layoffs, microtransactions, and a planned $55 billion acquisition by Saudi Arabia.

Blizzard Entertainment has introduced a new exterior option for player housing in World of Warcraft: Midnight, priced at $40 in real money. The cosmetic item, a magical treehouse available in spring green or cherry blossom pink, marks the first such addition since the expansion's launch. Players must purchase 4000 Hearthsteel currency through the in-game shop to obtain it.
