Infinity Ward has announced that double XP tokens in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will only deplete while players are actively in a match, eliminating the long-standing frustration of tokens wasting away in pre-game lobbies. The studio also confirmed a new toggle to hide other players' cosmetic skins, with both changes arriving ahead of the game's fall 2026 launch window.
Bungie released Destiny 2's final live-service update on June 9, 2024, concluding nearly 12 years of continuous development across the franchise. For streamer Mactics and countless others, the game served as a vital third space that sustained a long-distance relationship and built lasting memories beyond player counts.
Destiny 2's last live-service update, Monument of Triumph, launched with a surge of over 110,000 concurrent players on Steam, surpassing Marathon's peak. However, this influx caused widespread Weasel errors, disconnecting players. Bungie is investigating the login and API issues.
