🖥 PC, Multi-platformDisney CEO On Why Gaming Could Be The Company's Next Big Growth-Driver
The Walt Disney Company released its latest earnings report today(https://s206.q4cdn.com/979796730/files/docfinancials/2026/q2/q2-fy26-earnings.pdf), and included in the announcement was an update on the games business. In particular, Disney said it sees gaming as an area of growth, saying gaming is an area of the business that doesn't deliver "significant revenue" yet but is "strategically important" to the company overall as it looks to the future. CEO Josh D'Amaro said Disney's $1.5 billion investment into Epic Games and Fortnite speaks to Disney's eagerness to do more in gaming. "Interactive platforms are an increasingly relevant medium for younger audiences to engage with characters and stories, and our collaboration with Epic Games is central to our efforts in this space," he said. "Our characters are among the most popular across the Fortnite universe."

🖥 PC, Multi-platformHow The Team Behind Sniper Elite Uses A Few "Stupid" Tricks To Stand Out On Steam
When you're a self-funded, self-publishing studio like Rebellion, the team behind the Sniper Elite(https://www.gamespot.com/games/sniper-elite-resistance/) series and last year's breakout new IP, Atomfall(https://www.gamespot.com/games/atomfall/), you have to find a few ways to stand out from the pack. Steam has ballooned in size in recent years. In 2012, Steam would see about 30 new games per month(https://steamdb.info/stats/releases/), or an average of one per day. In March of this year, 2,472 new games hit Steam, or an average of more than 80 new games every day. Between tiny indie teams of as few as one person and mega AAA studios, there are studios like Rebellion trying to survive in the middle, and by many accounts, it's getting harder. But Rebellion has some battle-tested ways to push out of the crowd. "The key, I think, is controlling budgets and controlling ambition and having a very focused idea," CEO Jason Kingsley told me. "So a lot of our games are named in a way that would allow people to guess what they're all about. Sniper Elite is about being an elite sniper. Zombie Army is--guess what--about an army of zombies, you know?" This sort of simplicity, Kingsley believes, helps consumers quickly make up their minds as to whether a game is for them or not. "And, you know, even Alien Deathstorm(https://www.gamespot.com/games/alien-deathstorm/), which we've announced recently, it's about a deathstorm with aliens," he continued. "I know it sounds a bit stupid, but when we don't have the marketing money of people, brilliant people like Ubisoft or Electronic Arts, or whoever it might be, we have to have all those things that will allow people to guess what we are."

🖥 PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Multi-platformFBC: Firebreak Is Not Shutting Down, Remedy Says
Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy has vowed to keep FBC: Firebreak online, despite the company planning to release no further updates to the game. As part of Remedy's latest earnings briefing(https://investors.remedygames.com/?publicationId=8f02a436-07a0-484d-8515-9644fa39fb60), the company said, "FBC: Firebreak will remain live and playable." The studio said the infrastructure costs related to this will not be "significant." On Steam, FBC has seven people(https://steamdb.info/app/2272540/charts/) in the game right now. The game is also available on console through Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, in addition to being available to buy outright.
