    Summer Game Fest returns on June 6th.

    The event starts with a two-hour, Geoff Keighley-hosted Live Kickoff show on June 6th. From June 7th through the 9th, media and influencers will be at an in-person event in Los Angeles to check out games.

    Last year, Summer Game Fest was filled with great games. Hopefully the 2025 show continues the tradition.

    Threads adds more than 1 million new users a day.

    It also has more than 320 million monthly active users, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on today’s earnings call. Last night, Bluesky announced that it surpassed 30 million total users.

    During the call, CFO Susan Li also said that Meta is working on “a number of updates to our recommendation systems” for Threads.

    Some changes at BioWare.

    While “core team” at the studio is working on the next Mass Effect game, others have been matched “with other teams at EA that had open roles that were a strong fit,” BioWare GM Gary McKay writes in a blog post. IGN reports that “a smaller number of Dragon Age team members are also seeing their roles terminated.”

    Last week, EA said that Dragon Age: The Veilguard didn’t meet expectations.

    Bluesky now has 30 million users.

    The platform crossed the milestone last night, and it happened about a month and a half after the 25 million mark. Bluesky still has a long way to go to pass Threads, though; Meta’s platform has more than 100 million daily active users.
