This has now been added to the hotfix notes!
If you're on PS5 and are unfortunately experiencing occasional freezing, head over to your settings and try turning off Performance Mode. This should provide a temporary fix while we continue to investigate.

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

What's a more recent game release you enjoyed? 🌊
For two of our team members, that's The Drifter! "One of the best PnCs I've played in a long time," says Ryan Stump.
Also, Grant Holzhauer enjoys how it displays information, allowing for time to be saved. 🐟

Would you rather a game be challenging or relaxing? 🍃
Ace Gutierrez, head of animation, says both! Ace's fav game Path of Exile balances casual + difficult gameplay.
"That flexibility makes it easy to enjoy no matter how much time/energy I have." 🔋
