Clearly the Battlefield hype is so real that players will take whatever they can get… which isn’t a problem because Battlefield 4 is great!

In big “uh-oh spaghetti-Os!” news, some Rust players are in for a bad time as all their progress has been wiped from existence thanks to the purifying power of fire. Rust developer Facepunch Studios confirmed that a large amount of save data had been lost after a fire broke out at one of its datacentres, eventually claiming tan entire building at the OVH Datacentre in Strasbourg, France.

One can only hope this means less game crashes and more sessions that are actually joinable.

With 120,000 players leaping on at the same time, it’s fair to say that developer Mediatronic was more than a little shocked at the turnout for Fall Guys.

Nothing lasts forever. Empires have crumble, Highlanders have gotten their heads chopped off in bafflingly bad fourth films in a movie franchise and even a French baguette dreads the day when it is no longer fit to be used as a stale baton. You can throw video game servers onto that list, because no matter the fandom or the passion for any particular game, there will come a day when the lights are turned off and that final multiplayer match is had.

The game that set the original benchmark for quality Star Wars multiplayer experiences has been deactivated since 2014. Until now!

Bad news for fisticuffs fans: EA's magnificent Fight Night Round 4 has one more round in the tank before it shuts down its servers in early 2020.

More than a year ago in a live stream, Ubisoft promised that Rainbow Six Siege servers would go live in South Africa. They were working on the information that Microsoft’s Azure datacentres would soon be deployed in the region, but that took a little longer than anticipated. Then, once they were finally available, the Azure datacentres were limited; used primarily for business cases.
