Gearbox has announced a detailed post-launch roadmap for Borderlands 4, including free updates with new weapons and cosmetics, and multiple paid DLC packs such as Bounty Packs and Story Packs, with ongoing weekly challenges and endgame content, following its release on September 12, 2025, for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and later on Switch 2.
Paradox is reconsidering its plan to charge extra for two core clans in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, amid community feedback, as these clans are integral to gameplay and character customization. The decision to lock these clans behind additional paywalls has sparked controversy, with the developer indicating that the content was developed beyond the original scope, but critics argue that core gameplay elements should not be monetized separately. An upcoming adjustment is expected to address these concerns.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will include four base vampire clans, with two additional clans, Toreador and Lasombra, available only through paid day-one DLC, which may upset fans given the game's delays and the premium pricing model.
Players of AEW: Fight Forever are expressing frustration over the game's new Arcade mode, called Beat the Elite, which requires a payment of $6.99 / £5.79 instead of being a free update. Many players argue that the mode should have been included in the base game and criticize the game's struggling player base. Despite receiving a 30-player mode in August, the PC version of AEW: Fight Forever has seen limited concurrent players in the past three months.
Bethesda has introduced Bethesda Game Studios Creations, a new feature in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim: Special Edition, which replaces the Creation Club and encourages mod creators to release paid content.

With The Elder Scrolls 6 still years away, fans have turned to mods to keep Skyrim entertaining, with some players even setting records for NPC kills and recreating the game in other titles.
