🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformNew Xbox CEO Taps More AI Veterans To Help Lead Xbox
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is installing a new group of leaders around her, and most of them, like Sharma, come from an AI background. In a memo to staff announcing the changes, Sharma said the Xbox teams needs to "evolve how we work and how we are organized." CNBC(https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/05/microsoft-xbox-ceo-asha-sharma-executive-overhaul.html), which saw the memo, said Sharma added, "Right now, it is too hard to ship impact quickly. We spend too much time inward instead of with the community, and we lack the depth we need in some of the fundamentals." To that end, Sharma announced that the Xbox team is "bringing in new leaders with consumer and technical expertise we do not yet have."

🎮 Multi-platformHalo 2 And Halo 3 Remakes Are Coming, Report Says
In addition to the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake called Campaign Evolved(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-campaign-evolved-release-date-trailer-news/1100-6535992/), Microsoft is "definitely" working on remakes of Halo 2 and Halo 3 and they are in "active development," according to a reputable leaker. Rebs Gaming reported this recently(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTobbtFwqzQ), adding that these games are moving ahead "regardless of how well Campaign Evolved does." The reported remakes of Halo 2 and Halo 3 are in "early development," the report said, as relayed by Eurogamer(https://www.eurogamer.net/halo-2-and-3-remakes-are-definitely-happening-claims-leaker). These games, if real, would join a third unannounced Halo game that is said to be a Fortnite-like live-service multiplayer game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/next-halo-game-may-be-like-fortnite-with-live-service-report/1100-6535547/).

🎮 Multi-platformTop 10 Best-Selling Star Wars Games In The US Revealed
The Star Wars holiday May the 4th was this week, and to mark the occasion, Circana analyst Mat Piscatella shared(https://bsky.app/profile/matpiscatella.bsky.social/post/3mkzwjawnn22v) a list of the top 10 best-selling Star Wars games in the United States, dating back to 1995. The best-selling Star Wars game of all time in the US--ranked by dollar sales and excluding DLC revenue--was the 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront reboot from EA and Battlefield developer DICE. Its 2017 sequel ranked No. 3 all time. Respawn's Star Wars Jedi series ranked highly as well, with Fallen Order landing at No. 2 all time and Survivor ranking No. 4. Lego Star Wars games performed exceptionally well as well, taking up four of the top 10 spots on the list. Check out the full top 10 list below. EA's Star Wars: Battlefront games combined to sell more than 33 million copies as of 2019(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/despite-the-loot-box-controversy-eas-star-wars-bat/1100-6471006/), and the number no doubt grew since then. Given the immense success of the two games, people wondered why DICE never made a third. In 2021, it was reported that EA rejected a pitch for Battlefront 3(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-rejected-star-wars-battlefront-3-pitch-report/1100-6498250/) in part because under the terms of EA's current licensing deal with Disney, a potential third Battlefront game would need to sell 20% more copies to generate the same amount of revenue.

🎮 Multi-platformDiablo 4's Cow Level Found At Last, And It Rewards The Most Ludicrous Item In Diablo History
After years of searching, the hunt for Diablo 4's(https://www.gamespot.com/games/diablo-iv/) secret cow level is at its end, and the reward is what is without a doubt the most ridiculous item in Diablo history. Despite developer Blizzard insisting it didn't exist(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/there-is-no-cow-level-might-be-true-in-diablo-4-at-least-at-launch/1100-6513009/) (itself a cow level tradition), the hunt for Diablo 4's cow level began as soon as the game first launched in 2023. In the past three years, players have been acquiring mysterious items thought to be associated with the cow level, with steps that required killing 666 cows, hidden timers, and riddles that took players all across Diablo 4's world. But all the items discovered at the end of these breadcrumb trails had no real immediate use, leading to dead ends. That changed with the release of Diablo 4's new Lord of Hatred expansion and its addition of the Horadric Cube. By combining items like the stamina potion and rusted bardiche (both references to Diablo 2's cow level), as well as a new item, the Hand of Neyrelle, players have been able to access a new island off the coast of Skovos. Inside a cellar on the abandoned island is ring of cows that look to be preparing for a magic ritual.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformFirst UFC 6 Details Emphasize Authenticity, New Narrative Modes
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/04/6e63ea45/ufcboxes.jpg.webp) EA Sports has fully lifted the curtain on its sixth entry in its long-running UFC franchise, UFC 6. Arriving on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S this June, UFC 6 advertises an increased emphasis on fighters' movement and striking authenticity. In addition we also learned that the standard edition will feature former middleweight and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira on the cover, while the Ultimate Edition features former featherweight and BMF champion Max Holloway. Holloway, who is a huge gamer himself, views appearing on the cover as a huge honor. "It's huge, man, it's huge," Holloway tells Game Informer. "I've been played video games forever. I was a big Madden player, even though I like playing first-person shooters, but the Madden cover having all these athletes, as a kid, you'd be like, 'I wanna be on that video game!' And that time is here now, and it's just a blessing. It's unreal. It's unreal. What can you really say about it? I'm going to be on the cover of a video game, and a huge video game that does numbers, so I'm stoked, man. If you told 12-year-old me that he was gonna be on the cover of a video game, he probably would have given you a little attitude and said, "Yeah, I know!" laughs But to actually be here, it's just amazing." Holloway's cover art captures one of the most iconic moments in a career full of iconic moments: the immediate aftermath of his horn-beating knockout of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in 2024. Moments like that – the iconic moves – are an emphasis of UFC 6, as fighters are differentiated from one another through their individual movement and Signature Strikes. This is accomplished through markerless motion capture, which allows for mo-cap without mo-cap suits, and the next generation of Sapien Technology. A new Real-Time Contact system featuring new rag-doll physics helps further the level of realism in the Octagon. As for new modes, players can step into the shoes of legendary UFC fighters in Hall of Legends, or tell their own story with The Legacy. EA Sports touts immersive storytelling that makes fights feel personal. "EA Sports UFC 6 delivers a deeper, more dynamic fight experience," lead producer Nate McDonald said in a press release. "Ever element is designed to reflect the individuality of real fighters. Our goal is to capture the sport as faithfully as possible and bring players closer to the Octagon than ever before." UFC 6 arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on June 19. For our thoughts on UFC 5, which came out in 2023, head here(https://gameinformer.com/review/ea-sports-ufc-5/a-sustained-run).
