Battlefield 1’s Season Pass will be $50:

And thus continues with the trend of expensive DLC! In a new press release, EA has announced that Battlefield 1’s Season Pass will feature monthly Battlepacks, new weapons, and four expansions, all for the price of a recently released AAA title. If you’re a hardcore Battlefield fan, you might not see the problem with this, but it’s hard not to notice the concerning price.

September’s Games With Gold have been revealed:

Microsoft is always first up to bat when it comes to announcing their free offerings, and this month is now different. Xbox players will get Earthlock and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China for Xbox One. and Mirrors Edge + Forza Horizon for Xbox 360. You’d have to be pretty picky to call these pickings slim!

Halo 5’s Forge Mode is coming to PC:

While Halo 5 isn’t on PC yet, Microsoft isn’t done yet. The game’s popular Forge mode is coming to PC as a free download, and at the same time, the Xbox One version will be updated significantly. (with two new maps, weapons, attachments, and customization features in case you were wondering.)

Titanfall 2 is getting major fixes:

Coming off of a Tech Test that was controversial among fans (to say the least, just look at forum threads!) Titanfall 2 is getting a redesign of sorts. Respawn has announced that the wall running and air speed are now faster, and that speed is easier to retain. It should also be much easier to get your own Titan, matching the game’s name!
