Guardians looking to best one another and get something from it (aside from bragging rights), Trials of Osiris is the mode for you. For this week’s new map and rewards for November 1, read on below.

Destiny 2 Trials of Osiris Map and Rewards for November 1

FAQ

What are the Trials of Osiris?

  • Trials of Osiris is the pinnacle PvP activity. Every Weekend, the best players compete in 3v3 Elimination for one goal: Go Flawless.
  • To start, head to Saint-14 in the Tower Hangar and buy one of the possible passages (see below).
  • To reach Flawless and get to the Lighthouse, you need to win 7 matches without losing one.
  • It uses connection and weekly performance based matchmaking, which means you’ll face teams with a similar amount of wins on their card. Matches will get harder as you win more matches on that same card, and for all cards, the matches you get will be based on your overall performance so far for that week.
  • There is fireteam matchmaking. However, we still recommend you find a team for yourself!
  • Power Level matters, however bonus power from the artifact is not enabled.

How Long do the Trials of Osiris last?

  • Event Starts: Every Friday at Daily Reset (1700 UTC).
  • Event Ends: Following Tuesday at Weekly Reset (1700 UTC).

Where do I go to find Guardians to team up with?

  • You can use the in-game Fireteam Finder or head over to r/Fireteamswww.The100.io, Xbox LFG system, DestinyLFG.net or DestinyLFG.com, or go to the Bungie.net recruitment forum (also available through the Bungie App). Additionally, many Discord servers host fireteam LFG services.

What if I have a question about another piece of armor/weapon or general Trials question?

  • Use Control + F (Or Command + F if on a Mac) and search for keywords in your question. Someone may have asked it already. If not, ask below in the comments.

Rewards

  • Reputation Rank 4: Upgrade Module (2)
  • Reputation Rank 7: Enhancement Prism (3)
  • Reputation Rank 10: Trials Weapon (Changes for each rank reset)
  • Reputation Rank 13: Upgrade Module (2)
  • Reputation Rank 16: Trials Weapon (Changes for each rank reset)
  • Flawless Reward: beep boop failed to fetch

Reputation System, Trials Engrams, and Adept Farming

Win individual rounds within each match to gain Trials reputation. The amount of reputation you gain increases with each round you’ve won on your card. Earn enough reputation, and you’ll be able to claim a Trials Engram from Saint-14! This engram can be focused into any currently available Trials loot you have previously obtained, or it can be redeemed for a random Trials drop. Your reputation increases after every match completion, based on the number of round-wins on your card, regardless of the result of that match itself (win or lose, 0-5 or 5-4).

Once you have gone Flawless, keep playing! Every win you achieve while at the 7-win level, even if you lose your Flawless, has a chance to drop bonus Trials Engrams, adept weapons, prisms, and even Ascendant Shards. There is no penalty for losing once you’ve made it to the Lighthouse!

When you’re done, you can cash in your 7-win passage for one additional adept drop, granted you have gone Flawless that week. This resets your card so you can start anew.


Passages

Name Perk Cost
Passage of Persistence Reaching seven wins rewards the weekly Adept weapon. When you are not in a full fireteam, losses following a win remove the win from the card. Reaching seven wins without losing a match grants access to the Lighthouse. 1500 Glimmer
Passage of Ferocity Your third match win grants a bonus win. 1500 Glimmer
Passage of Mercy Forgives one loss per run. Forgives a second loss if you have not yet been flawless this week. 1500 Glimmer
Passage of Wealth Increased reputation from match wins on a ticket. 2500 Glimmer
Passage of Confidence Grants bonus rewards from Flawless Chest. 5000 Glimmer

GTA Online Next Major Update Dropping This December and Here’s the First Details

While we get weekly updates to Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar’s prepared to bring a major update to the online mode this December that aims to bring new content to players. While not specified, this should be a client-side patch compared to your usual GTA Online weekly updates that are pushed out via server-side patches.

GTA Online Next Update Details

From Rockstar Games, it mentions how the notorious Darnell Bros Garment Factory front is under new management, and with the aid of Pavel and a former FIB officer-turned-independent-contractor, you’ll convert it into a hive for the clandestine infiltration operations where players will be able to launch new robberies. These will be accessible from the computer terminal inside the Garment Factory or even remotely via a brand-new app on your iFruit.

Players can expect addition features such as:

  • Dispatch Work missions
  • New rides
  • Job Creator updates
  • New upgrades for your Benefactor Terrobyte, including a Collectible Scanner to help pinpoint a wide range of treasures whenever they are in close proximity such as Action Figures, Movie Props, G’s Cache drops and more.

There are also updates and enhancements planned which include:

  • Body Armor stock automatically refilling when launching missions
  • New updates to The Vinewood Club for GTA+ members such as the ability to access Hao’s Special Works, Benny’s Original Motorworks, Drift upgrades inside The Vinewood Car Club Garage’s Vehicle Workshop

Rockstar also mentions how they plan to bring much-requested PS5 and Xbox Series X|S features of GTA Online to PC in the new year.

No word yet on when we can expect this update to drop, but I’d hazard a guess that it’ll be in the first week of December. Once more details are available, we’ll let our readers know.

The Finals Update 1.000.061 Enables Halloween Maps in All Casual Game Modes This Nov. 1

Embark has released a new The Finals patch on all platforms, and while this isn’t a major update, it does enable the Halloween maps introduced in a previous update to be available in all casual modes. Read on for what’s new in The Finals update 1.000.061 download.

The Finals Update 1.000.061 Patch Notes:

Here’s the announcement from The Finals Discord server:

An even Spookier Halloween!

We’ve seen how much everyone has been enjoying the Halloween themed maps in World Tour, and wanted them to be in more game modes – and now they are!
We just pushed an update which enables the Halloween maps in all casual game modes, so now you can experience the spookiness regardless of which game mode you enjoy the most

Two notes on this, Ranked Tournament will not be receiving the Halloween maps and the Jack-o-Lanterns are only available in World Tour as they are part of the Trick or Treat event!

Also of note, Embark states that the latest version of Windows is NOT compatible with some versions of Easy Anti Cheat, which can lead to The Finals and other games not launching. The studio advises that players do not update Windows at this time.

Minecraft Update 3.02 Sneaks Out for Bedrock Version 1.21.44

Mojang has snuck out Minecraft update 3.02 on consoles, which doesn’t seem to have a proper Bedrock version release, which is quite strange. This small download follows the release of a few patches for fixes for the Bundles of Bravery title update.

What’s New in Minecraft Update 3.02:

Update: Mojang has finally released the official patch notes for the November 1 update as Bedrock version 1.21.44.

Bug Fixes

Blocks

  • Fix all flavors of the skull block being turned into skeleton_skull when opening a world-template version locked below 1.21.40, it does not fix already overwritten chunks

Realms

  • Fixed crash on several platforms when navigating back to Realms Stories after inviting a player on the manage members screen

Mojang has not issued any new changes based on what we know. However, we have a good feeling that this patch should fix third-party skins that had issues from working after the 1.21.43 patch. If this patch fixed that bug for you, leave a comment below and let us know.

As for the other fixes released recently, here’s a rundown of what got touched in the last two patches.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that prevented items being used or consumed when looking at a Copper Block (MCPE-187188)
  • Fixed an issue that prevented some Trophies from being unlocked on PlayStation®5
    • To ensure players receive all missing Trophies, certain objectives that didn’t unlock previously may need to be completed again. Sorry for the inconvenience and we thank you for your patience!
  • Fixed an issue that prevented some notifications from appearing on Xbox

Fixes:

Realms

  • Fixed issue where game mode and difficulty were not being preserved after uploading or replacing world in Realms Slot. It should now be safe to play Hardcore on Realms, regardless of what kind of world the Hardcore world is replacing.

Technical Updates

Biomes

  • Fixed an issue where chunks created before 1.17.40 could behave as Ocean biomes, with ocean-like fog, sky color, and mob spawning (MCPE-186928)

If anything changes and we get proper patch notes, we’ll update the article with the info.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Becomes Most Played Single-Player EA Game on Steam; Knocks Off Black Ops 6 From #1 Top Sellers Spot

It looks like BioWare’s follow up to the Dragon Age franchise is a massive hit at launch — at least on PC. Titled Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the latest entry in the fantasy RPG franchise has now established itself as the most played single-player game by publisher Electronic Arts (EA) on Steam.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Demolishes Star Wars: Jedi Survivor’s Steam Record

Dragon Age: The Veilguard managed to hit a 24-hour concurrent-player peak of 70,414 according to Steam Charts:

For comparison, Star Wars: Jedi Survivor managed to hit an all-time peak of 67,583 concurrent players on Steam, which it managed to hit during its launch window.

If that wasn’t impressive enough, Dragon Age: The Veilguard even managed to kick off Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 from Steam’s top-sellers list to become the #1 game on the storefront.

This feat by BioWare’s latest RPG is made even more impressive given that the Call of Duty franchise has managed to see record numbers on Steam with numbers not seen before outside of free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone’s launch. Activision even proclaimed Black Ops 6 as the “biggest” Call of Duty release ever, setting day-one records.

Given these achievements, we’re expecting EA to send out a press release touting Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s success. Will the publisher release sales figures? We certainly hope so, though we’re expecting estimates rather than specific figures.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest game in the franchise after a 10-year wait, as Dragon Age: Inquisition was released back in 2014 for the PS4, Xbox One, and even saw the light of day for PS3 and the Xbox 360.

At the time of this publication, The Veilguard is sitting at a “Strong” rating on Open Critic, and has an average score of 84 from games media outlets on Metacritic.

Ark Survival Ascended Update 1.055.006 Rolled Out for Inventory Fix This Oct. 31

Following the release of a patch yesterday to bring the Fear Ascended festivities in time for Halloween, Studio Wildcard has now pushed out Ark Survival Ascended update 1.055.006 (Xbox version 55.6), which, as one might guess, implements a fix more than anything else.

Ark Survival Ascended Update 1.055.006 Patch Notes:

While Studio Wildcard hasn’t released the patch notes for PS5 and PC, the Xbox version did get the incremental jump which had the following fixes listed:

55.6 Minor version for Xbox Clients – 10/31/2024

  • Fixed crash opening inventory with certain cosmetics installed.

Disney Dreamlight Valley The Storybook Vale Expansion Revealed; Part One Out November 20

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s second expansion, The Storybook Vale, has just been announced, and it’ll be a two-parter update with the first arriving next month. 

Disney Dreamlight Valley The Storybook Vale Introduces More Familiar Faces

As revealed during the Disney Dreamlight Valley showcase, The Storybook Vale will be available starting November 20. It’ll be broken up into two parts, with the first part adding the following content:

  • New magical main story
  • New friends to meet and befriend, including Merida, from Disney and Pixar’s Brave, Flynn Rider from Disney’s Tangled, and Hades, from Disney’s Hercules.
  • Three new Biomes to explore
  • New Royal Net tool

Elsewhere, for those not interested in any paid content, the studio also confirmed that a free update will be made available on December 4, adding a bunch of free content.

  • Sally from Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas joins the Valley;
  • A brand-new Frost & Fairies Star Path that embraces the ethereal side of the season;
  • Floating Islands, a new gameplay feature that gives players special areas, parallel to the Valley, where they can freely decorate while preserving the layout of their existing Valley.

The showcase also gave us a small tease of the roadmap for both the Storybook Vale expansion and their planned free content that’ll dip into the first half of 2025.

Lot’s of exciting new content to look forward to, and so soon, as The Storybook Vale is set to release on November 20, with the first planned free update arriving on December 5 for all players.

Diablo 4 Update for October 31 Released for 2.0.4a on Consoles

Blizzard Entertainment has released Diablo 4 update 1.69  (PS5/XSX version 1.067) for consoles, which is for dev version 2.0.4a. PC players got this patch download yesterday, with consoles just getting it today. Don’t expect anything major from it, as this is a stability patch that aims to help players from crashing and whatnot.

What’s New in Diablo 4 Update 1.69 | Diablo IV Update 1.067

Blizzard’s Adam Fletcher, the Global Director of Community for Diablo shared that this patch “addresses some client stability issues players were experiencing.”

Outside of that, no player-facing changes were mentioned. In terms of client patches, a few were released last week that impacted the Vessel of Hatred DLC and the base game. You can check out the base game changes made below.

Base Game Updates

Season of Hatred Rising

  • Radiant Chests at the end of Legion events now grant bonus loot and Zakarum Remnants reputation to players with a Seething Opal active when the chest is opened.
  • The description for Seething Opals now additionally indicates that the additional loot chance also applies to end-of-run loot, such as the Pit or Kurast Undercity.
  • An additional wave of Bloodbound Guardians can now spawn in the Realmwalker encounter.
  • The Realmwalker’s health has doubled.

Miscellaneous

  • The Gem Fragment cap has been significantly increased.
  • The amount of damage required to force a dismount has been increased to make forced dismounts less common in the endgame.
  • Party Finder quick list has been added for Infernal Hordes in the Map.
  • For PlayStation™ 5 users, we’ve introduced VRR (variable refresh rate) support. VRR can be enabled for displays that support it by setting VRR to “automatic” in the console settings. When it is enabled, the framerate can exceed 60 if it is within the VRR range for the display when Enhanced Visuals is disabled.

Base Game Bug Fixes

Accessibility

  • Fixed an issue where Character Portraits did not apply colorblind settings.

Season of Hatred Rising

  • Fixed an issue where Bloodbound Guardians could be difficult to attack for melee characters.

Helltide and Infernal Hordes

  • Fixed an issue where the objective Defeat the Fell Council could fail to progress after defeating all bosses.

Gameplay

General

  • Fixed an issue where the following affixes could not appear as a Greater Affix.
    • Chance for Blood Lance to Deal Double Damage
    • Chance for Bone Storm to Deal Double Damage
    • Chance for Corpse Explosion to Deal Double Damage
    • Chance for Sever to Deal Double Damage
    • Chance for Incinerate to Deal Double Damage
    • Chance for Teleport to Deal Double Damage
  • Fixed an issue where Whisper Invaders, such as Grotesque Debtors, did not drop loot.
  • Fixed an issue where the Elemental Surge Tempering recipe would always roll its maximum value.
  • Fixed an issue where World Bosses only dropped one Health Potion when reaching the associated health thresholds.
  • Fixed an issue where Avarice the Gold Cursed’s treasure chest would disappear on death.
  • Fixed an issue where Beast in the Ice did not spawn when resummoning at the altar in Glacial Fissure.
  • Fixed an issue where Echo of Lilith could be prevented from destroying the floor if she was Staggered at the right time.
  • Fixed an issue where leftover Ingolith and Neathiron on Eternal characters could not be transmuted into Obducite.
  • Fixed multiple instances where champion monsters and Whisper Invaders could appear in pre-Torment difficulties.
  • Fixed certain instances where more champion monsters than expected would spawn in lower Torment Difficulties.
  • Fixed an issue where Healing Wells did not fully heal the player.
  • Fixed an issue where activating a Greed Shrine while mounted prevented the Gold explosion that is supposed to occur when the effect expires.
  • Fixed an issue where Skill Cooldowns could randomly reset while mounted.
  • Fixed multiple instances where Magic and Rare items could drop when they shouldn’t.
  • Fixed an issue where Lightning Enchanted Monsters could damage the player from further away than intended.

Druid

  • Fixed an issue where Shred would dash to the nearest target instead of to the aimed-at target.

Necromancer

  • Fixed an issue where the Reaping Lotus aspect did not properly benefit from the Chance for Sever to Deal Double Damage affix.

Rogue

  • Fixed an issue where moving in tight circles with Dance of Knives could result in losing charges unexpectedly.

Sorcerer

  • Fixed an issue where the Familiar Enchantment effect did not function if Familiar was on cooldown with zero charges.
  • Fixed an issue where using Deep Freeze after teleporting in the Dark Citadel could allow the player to move while Deep Freeze was active.

Quests and Events

  • Fixed an issue where the Poachers could fail to spawn as expected during the Tending Nature quest.
  • Fixed an issue in lower difficulties where not enough enemies would spawn to fulfill the mastery objective for the Jar of Souls event.
  • Fixed an issue where enemies could stop spawning during the Hold your Ground event in certain locations.
  • Fixed an issue where the pressure plates for the Ancient Obelisk event could get stuck, preventing event completion.
  • Fixed an issue where the Pit of Artificer’s Obelisk and its associated portal could be difficult to click.

Dungeons and Strongholds

  • Fixed an issue where the Animus Urn in Bastion of Faith could become non-interactable if it was interacted with before having enough animus to activate it.
  • Fixed an issue where the Barracks Gate in Kor Dragan Barracks could be opened before being unlocked.
  • Fixed an issue where progression of Hope’s Light could be blocked if a town portal was used after crossing the traversal created by the Survive the Drowned Assault objective.

Party Finder

  • Fixed an issue where the following were not available for Quick List:
    • Boss Ladder Lairs
    • World Bosses
    • Non-Helltide Whispers
  • Fixed an issue where the Training Grounds was an activity for Party Finder listings.
  • Fixed an issue where Pit Tier range was editable after listing a Party for the Pit.
  • Fixed an issue where the message instructing the player to de-list their party first before continuing could persist after de-listing the party in certain situations.

The Game Kitchen has released Blasphemous 2 Update 1.007 and this is for the game’s Mea Culpa DLC, as well as for the True Torment patch for base game owners. While the DLC brings in new content, the free content patch includes New Game+, new ability, new enemies and more.

Blasphemous 2 Update 1.007 Patch Notes for True Torment:

The FREE True Torment Update includes:

  •  New Game+
  •  Expanded zones – Choir of Thorns, Sunken Cathedral and Basilica of Ancient Faces
  •  New connecting zones
  •  New enemies
  •  The Labyrinth of Tides presents a new challenge for those ready to face it
  •  A host of upgrades for the Penitent One
  • Quality of Life improvements
  • New Achievements

  • Four new quests
  • An alternative ending for the Penitent One
  • A new (yet familiar) weapon and ability
  • New prayers
  • New Rosary Beads
  • New achievements
  • 9 new OST tracks by Carlos Viola

FAQ for Blasphemous Players on the DLC:

How much is the Mea Culpa Expansion?
The Mea Culpa Expansion is priced at £11.99 / $11.99 / €11.99 with a 20% launch discount running for two weeks from October 31st.

Do I need to start a new game?
You do not need to start a new game to experience the Mea Culpa Expansion or the New Game Plus Update. However, players are free to start a new run or New Game Plus and experience all the new additions alongside The Penitent One’s existing journey. The choice is yours.

How long is the new content?
The True Torment Update and Mea Culpa Expansion add a wealth of new content to Blasphemous II. Combined, they expand the explorable area of Blasphemous II by 40%! How long it’ll take you to complete depends on you. Players can speed through the new Mea Culpa story in 2-3 hours, or spend 6-8 hours seeing it all. True Torment content is spread throughout the base game, so how quickly you’ll find everything depends wholly on your abilities, Penitent One!

Same as with any major update, don’t be surprised to see a follow up patch be released to address any issues that surface from this content drop.

Sony Skips 8K Label on PS5 Pro Box, Confirms PS5 Slim Plates Won’t Fit PS5 Pro

With the PlayStation 5 Pro’s official release date just around the corner, some people have already gotten their hands on early units and are sharing photos and comparisons online. One surprising detail that has caught people’s attention in these photos is that Sony has removed the 8K logo from the PS5 Pro box.

The missing 8K label has raised eyebrows, especially since the PS5 Pro is the only PlayStation console that can support 8K resolution for AAA games, a feature already shown with Gran Turismo 7, one of the most graphically demanding titles available. Sony instead labeled the PS5 Pro box with “4K at 120 frames per second,” leaving out its 8K potential.

Interestingly, Sony made this change a few months ago with both the standard and slim PS5 versions as well, possibly signaling that 8K may not be a priority, especially with 8K displays still rare in the market. Sony might be thinking along the same lines with the PS5 Pro, as there is still little to no game support for 8K.

In related news, covers for the PS5 Slim, though close in size to those of the PS5 Pro, don’t fully fit the Pro model, specifically on the upper portion. This compatibility issue is a concern for users who had hoped they could use the same plates across models.

Another unexpected change is that the PS5 Pro’s box is noticeably smaller than that of the base model, even though the console itself is larger.

Sony has also confirmed that more than 80 titles will be optimized to take advantage of the PS5 Pro’s hardware enhancements, promising improved graphics, frame rates, and loading times for many games. However, despite these upgrades, the PS5 Pro has faced some criticism for its high price point, which feels steep to many fans, even when adjusted for inflation.

Set to officially release worldwide on November 7, 2024, the PS5 Pro will retail in stores at $700. Many users have already started sharing pictures and thoughts about the new PS5 Pro, and more are expected as early buyers open up their consoles in the next few days.

With the PS5 Pro release almost here, will you be picking one up or possibly upgrading from a standard PS5? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Astro Bot Update 1.007 Brings Spring-Loaded Run This Oct. 31

Team Asobi’s weekly content drop for Astro Bot is live and brings another speedrun level to all players for free. For October 31, players can download Astro Bot update 1.007 for the new Spring-Loaded Run!

What’s New in Astro Bot Update 1.007:

Here’s a quick look at the new level:

Alongside this, there’s another Helldiver bot available to be rescued today, and of course, another bot, and this one’s Ky Kiske from the Guilty Gear franchise.

Same as before, there seems to be no gameplay-related fixes tied to the update. As for the next few ones, Team Asobi is rolling out the next on on November 7 (Helium Heights), and the last one for November 14 (Rising Heat). As to which game franchise bots are on the way, check out some of the leaked ones from the game’s credits that are confirmed to be appearing. Just don’t expect anyone from Final Fantasy to be in the game, as it seems Square Enix isn’t keen on that idea when Team Asobi asked for permission.

DayZ Update 1.73 Released, as Official Servers Suffer Outages This October 31

Bohemia Interactive has brought out another round of fixes to DayZ for both consoles and PC. Players can download DayZ update 1.73 now, and this has a different set of fixes on consoles and PC, with the complete details available below.

This doesn’t bring any Frostline DLC fixes on consoles, and rather, seems to focus more on server-related issues.

DayZ Update 1.73 Patch Notes for October 31:

Console Stable 1.26 Update 3 – Version 1.26.158940 (Release on 31.10.2024)

FIXED

PC Stable 1.26 Update 2 – Version 1.26.158950 (Release on 31.10.2024)

FIXED

MODDING

  • Added: Legacy concrete slab models (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T184094)

Fixed: Updated the binarize executable to the latest version (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T185622)

However, it seems this update has caused issues with the official servers, as Bohemia has confirmed that they are currently working on it, though community servers should be working as normal.

If there’s any news on this, we’ll update the article, the studio has not given an ETA on when the official servers will be fixed.

In other DayZ news, it seems the Frostline DLC is a huge hit, as the game managed to reach all-new player highs after it was released.

If there’s another update released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know

Call of Duty’s Development Process Won’t Change Under Microsoft; 15 Studios Still Working on the Franchise

With Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, many fans have wondered if Microsoft would change Call of Duty’s development process. However, Activision has confirmed that the game’s development structure will remain unchanged under Microsoft’s ownership.

Speaking to The Washington Post (paywalled), Matt Cox, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Call of Duty at Activision, assured fans that this established system will remain the same.

When you look at Treyarch and Raven [lead studios on ‘Black Ops 6’], they have a history of working together within the Black Ops franchise going all the way back to 2010. You have this history with people you work with, and that ultimately shows when it comes to the finished product from a publishing and go-to-market standpoint.

Cox explained that, despite the new ownership structure, Call of Duty manages a production system involving 15 different Activision studios to develop each installment in the franchise.

Furthermore, The Washington Post reported that the Call of Duty series has sold over 500 million copies, making it the second best-selling video game franchise to date. While Nintendo’s Super Mario franchise remains far ahead, Call of Duty has now surpassed iconic titles like Tetris, Pokémon, and Grand Theft Auto 5.

The latest release, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, has already become the “biggest” Call of Duty launch ever, breaking records across platforms. The game saw a 60% year-over-year increase in unit sales on PlayStation and Steam, and a record-breaking 300,000 concurrent players on Steam—the highest since Warzone.

Additionally, Black Ops 6 marked a milestone for Xbox’s Game Pass, setting a record for first-day players and new subscribers, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. The recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard also contributed to Xbox’s 61% increase in revenue for the first quarter, showcasing the financial impact of Microsoft’s $69 billion deal.

Given the series’ success, it’s clear that Microsoft has no plans to interfere with the winning formula that Activision’s teams have developed over the years.

Known Issues:

  • Issue when putting hours on recruits that if you had an option selected (say, hard sell) and you pressed L1 to go back to the overview section to look at their dealbreaker, and you go back to the recruiting screen, you had to click the option again. Wasn’t like that before this past update (via )
  • Broken conference schedules and coaching carousel
  • Glitch for active roster and new rankings in Dynasty mode
  • The ‘Disable Switch Stick’ saves while in menus now. But, as soon as you go into a game(In Dynasty Offline) it turns it back on along with changing the Ball Hawk slider. It’s still broken on those 2.

Once we find actual fixes and changes, we’ll update the artcle.
