Electronic Arts is officially a privately held company following the successful close of a $55 billion leveraged buyout led by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, though developers are bracing for impending restructuring. Meanwhile, Xbox's multiplatform push faces scrutiny as Halo: Campaign Evolved manages just 350,000 units on PlayStation 5, prompting a pivot back to platform exclusivity with upcoming titles like Gears of War: E-Day. We also check out Fox Weather meteorologists Ian Oliver, Bob Van Dillen, Nick Kosir, and Bayne Froney tackling the storm simulator Funnel Runners. Plus, we run through the latest new releases, upcoming events including the EWC in Paris, and free subscription games for August.
