Bungie pledges longevity for Marathon despite soft PS5 sales

Marathon has sold roughly 1.2 million copies across Steam/PC, with about 217,000 on PS5 (roughly 19%), a performance viewed as soft for a high-budget live-service shooter. Bungie responded by affirming the game’s long-term commitment and ongoing improvements, though Sony ultimately holds the final say on continued support. The title has earned solid reviews and maintains a small, dedicated audience, but questions remain about its ability to recoup development costs and scale beyond its niche, leaving its long-term fate uncertain as updates continue.

BYD’s China EV lead narrows as rivals surge and exports rise

BYD's combined January–February 2026 EV sales fell about 36% year-over-year after adjusting for the Lunar New Year slowdown, while rivals like Leapmotor, Xiaomi, Nio, and Zeekr gained ground in China’s slowing market. Notably, BYD’s exports surpassed domestic sales in February for the first time as the company pivots overseas. Analysts say the domestic lead is narrowing amid price-competitive offerings, evolving incentives, and ongoing product differentiation, with a shift toward higher-end niches and continued push to bolster overseas demand.

Resident Evil Requiem Delivers a 5M+ Week of Zombie Havoc

Capcom announced that Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 5 million copies in under a week, pushing the series past 183 million units overall. Capcom credits the RE Engine’s photorealistic visuals, flexible gameplay (multiple difficulties and real-time first-/third-person switching), and strong pre-release hype and awards for the launch. The rapid milestone contrasts with other titles in the series, as RE4 Remake took months to hit 5 million, while older entries like Village and the 3 Remake took longer to reach that mark.
