Battlefield 6 fans haven't been shy about giving their opinions on the game through its extended public testing period--and that hasn't changed with the game's wildly popular first open beta. Many players are echoing the same few criticisms on social media--that the BF6 maps are too small, and that Liberation Peak is an infuriating sniper's heaven.

With a game as heavily anticipated as Battlefield 6--not to mention the record-breaking open beta numbers--it's not surprising that social media has been flooded with feedback both good and back on the Battlefield beta. Many of the criticisms leveled at the game have been to do with its maps, with many players saying the three maps on the open beta rotation all feel too small.

Interestingly, Battlefield 2042 had the opposite problem, with players often complaining that the maps felt too big and often lifeless. In the BF6 beta, however, players are saying that the small map sizes mean they are pushed to engage far too often.

In its financial results for the first half of 2025, Remedy Entertainment says that it is "unsatisfied" by the post-launch sales of FBC: Firebreak. While the company says that its co-op PvE game reached 1 million players after launch in June--with high numbers from PS5 and Xbox Series X|S specifically--PC sales underperformed and weren't enough to cover the low sales on console. It's worth noting that FBC: Firebreak was available day-one through PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass, with those playerbases likely being responsible for the game reaching 1 million players in 10 days.

Remedy's first self-published game, FBC: Firebreak did receive a payment from Microsoft and Sony for allowing its game to be distributed via the respective subscription services of those two companies, with Remedy aiming for Steam to be "the primary consumer sales channel" on PC. FBC: Firebreak was met with negative feedback and poor post-launch sales, Remedy says, but it's still committed to turning the game around, and it says that it has a solid foundation to build on, going forward.

"FBC: Firebreak was designed as a game that evolves over time," Remedy said. "Despite the rocky launch, we believe we have a solid game to build on. Players who spent over an hour with the game reviewed the game mostly positive--showing us that the core experience of the game is entertaining. We have already rolled out patches and communicated on how the game will continue to develop. Looking ahead, a larger 'Major Update' late September will be the next key step for FBC: Firebreak."

Xbox Wireless Controller - Doom: The Dark Ages Limited Edition

$54 (was $80)

See at Walmart $80 at Best Buy $80 at Target See at Amazon See at GameStop

Doom fans can save big on The Dark Ages-themed Xbox Wireless Controller at Walmart. Normally $80, this limited-edition official Xbox controller is on sale for only $54. Walmart doesn't list an end date for the promotion, but we wouldn't expect this deal to remain in stock for long. Walmart is one of three retailers with units in stock, but Best Buy and Target are selling the controller for the full $80 MSRP. Amazon, meanwhile, sold out of units shortly after the controller launched at the end of April.

Check out the Doom: The Dark Ages Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller below. And if you haven't picked up the game yet, The Dark Ages is on sale for its best price yet on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Xbox Wireless Controller - Doom: The Dark Ages Limited Edition $54 (was $80)

Microsoft's Doom-themed Xbox Wireless Controller has one of the most eye-catching and novel designs of any limited-edition Xbox controller released to date.

The matte green-and-silver color scheme is modeled after the Doom Slayer's iconic armor. It has rubberized grips with a leather-like texture, which makes the controller feel slightly different than other Xbox Wireless Controllers with textured grips. On each side of the Xbox Guide button, you'll find two 3D "spikes" to mimic Doomguy's helmet. Since Doomguy is always slaying demons, the controller has streaks of blood and "chips" in the paint.

The Doom Slayer armor theme extends to the controls as well. The left stick is gray, while the right is red to align with Doomguy's chest port. Instead of ABXY labels, each face button is marked by a letter from the Sentinel alphabet. The triggers and bumpers are green on the left and silver on the right.

Inside the box, you'll find a voucher to redeem the Doom Slayer Executioner Skin in The Dark Ages. When you get the controller, remove the battery cover for a neat Easter Egg.

Like all Xbox Wireless Controllers from Microsoft, the Doom-themed model works wirelessly on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Mac, Steam Deck, and mobile.

The First Descendant developer Nexon Games has announced one of its upcoming titles, Woochi the Wayfarer, which is based on a classic Korean novel The Tale of Jeon Woochi. The announcement was accompanied by a teaser trailer that may give fans of The Witcher some Deja vu.

There's no English language audio option for this video, but the closed captioning does offer an English translation of the spoken lines. The woman's name is Myoan, and she's a shaman who performs a violent sacrificial rite with a snake. Woochi is the man who confronts Myoan at her dark shrine before she transforms into a monster before his eyes. Woochi isn't defenseless and the manifestation of his sword is impressive. However, Myoan overpowers Woochi before declaring, "Proclaim it to Heaven, we rise again."

The game is set durning Korea's Joseon era, and Jeon Woochi is said to be a man "who uses his powers to fight injustice and trick the corrupt." This is a single-player game built with Unreal Engine 5 by developer LoreVault Studio. The announcement notes the dev team is currently consulting experts on Korean literature and traditional music, while also scouting locations that will be used to recreate the period setting of the game. The game's music will be composed by Jung Jae-il, whose previous credits include Squid Game and Parasite.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S for Nintendo Switch 2

$30 (was $40)

See at Amazon See at Best Buy See at GameStop

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S for Nintendo Switch 2 is discounted to $30 at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. The Tetris and Puyo Puyo crossover was part of the Nintendo Switch 2's June launch lineup. Like several other games in that lineup, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is a new version of an existing game with extra content. Originally released for consoles and PC in 2021, the Switch 2-exclusive version adds a 2v2 mode and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls.

Multiple other Sega-published Nintendo Switch 2 games are on sale at Amazon. Most notably, you can save $10 on Yakuza 0 Director's Cut and Raidou Remastered. Yakuza 0 Director's Cut is also exclusive to Switch 2, but Raidou Remastered, a Shin Megami Tensei spin-off from Atlus, is also discounted for PS5, Xbox Series X, and original Switch.

Nintendo Switch 2 Sega Game Deals

• Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S -- $30 ($40)
• Yakuza 0 Director's Cut -- $40 ($50)
• Raidou Remastered -- $40 ($50)
• Sonic X Shadow Generations -- $40 ($50)

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S for Nintendo Switch 2 $30 (was $40)

Along with the new 2v2 Doubles mode, Joy-Con mouse support, and improved visuals, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S has all of the content from the original release. There's a massive single-player campaign with increasingly difficult challenges, a plethora of gameplay variants featuring Tetris, Puyo Puyo, and a combination of both. It also has support for local and online multiplayer. There are 40 playable characters with their own unique stats and a slew of unlockables to keep you playing.

If you already own Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 for Switch (or another console), the new features probably aren't worth the price of admission. But if you don't have Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, we'd highly recommend it.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2's Switch edition cannot be upgraded to the newer 2S edition. Like the other Sega games for Switch 2, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is a Game-Key Card, so you'll download the bulk of the game from the eShop when inserting the cartridge for the first time.
