Star Wars: Battlefront II was recently free on the Epic Games Store, and the promotional period was massively successful for the sci-fi shooter.

Publisher Electronic Arts has announced that the game reached more than 19 million players as part of the promotion. “Thank you so much for the continued support, even after our final content drop! We’ll watch your careers with great interest. May the Force be with your troopers!” EA said in a tweet celebrating the accomplishment.

It’s not clear if all 19 million of these players are new to Battlefront II or if there is overlap between people who had already downloaded the game and elected to pick it up again on the Epic Games Store. Whatever the case, 19 million is a gargantuan number.

And just like that, the first month of 2021 is nearly over, and it’s already time to start looking ahead to the shortest month of the year and what streaming content will be on offer. You can take a look at what Netflix, Shudder, and Hulu have teed up for February–here’s a look at Amazon Prime Video for the month coming up.

Prime Video is setting the mood right for Valentine’s Day by right out of the gate on February 1 offering up tons of rom-coms, romantic misadventures, and all sorts of movies and limited series that explore romantic relationships. Standouts well worth a repeat viewing–or making a point of seeing if it’s the first time–include the series Modern Love (adapted from the real-life personal essay New York Times column from the same name) and Fleabag (adapted from Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s incredible 2013 one-woman show of the same name about her quest for love). You don’t even have to wait until February 1 to watch those, and probably shouldn’t, in fact.

If romance isn’t your thing, director Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige is a definite palate cleanser. It hits Prime Video on the first of the month. A mystery-thriller released back in 2006, based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Christoher Priest, the movie follows a cutting rivalry between stage magicians in London at the end of the 19th century. There’s definitely no love between Hugh Jackman as Robert Angier and Christian Bale as Alfred Borden as they become obsessed with one-upping each other to achieve the best stage illusion.

2021 is already a big year for the Mass Effect series, as BioWare plans to launch Mass Effect: Legendary Edition during the year. But that’s not all. BioWare has announced a new Garrus figure is also in the works, and it’s already generating a lot of buzz.

BioWare teased the new figure on Twitter, posting a black-and-white image of the figure. “We’re in the middle of some calibrations,” the tweet says, referencing the unfinished nature of the image and Garrus’ lines from the games. It seems all will be properly revealed in February.

“Garrus will be ready in February,” BioWare said.

Ubisoft has dropped a new update for Rainbow Six Siege on the PC test servers that adjusts Ranked and tweaks operators, among other things. The full patch notes for Y5S4.3 are outlined below.

The leading features of this latest update center around tweaking the game’s many operators. Ash’s Breaching Round explosive has had its area of effect reduced to two meters, down from 3.5 meters previously. Buck’s shotgun ammo capacity has been increased from 26 to 31. Meanwhile, a number of other operators–including Ela, Kali, Lesion, Lion, and three others–have had certain pieces of equipment removed, like the angled grip from Melusi’s MP5.

The patch also makes a small but notable tweak to Ranked: increasing the cancelation time. Now, disconnected players will have more time to rejoin matches. Furthermore, certain exploits that let players end the first round before it started, which effectively prevented the other team from canceling the match, have been fixed.

John Boyega and Robert DeNiro are set to star in the upcoming Netflix feature The Formula from director Gerard McMurray, according to Deadline. McMurray (2019’s The Twilight Zone, The First Purge) has the distinction of having directed Burning Sands, one of the streaming platform’s first original features–then much more untested waters in 2017. No release date or other casting information has been announced.

The Formula is a drama-heist about a Formula One racer who becomes a getaway driver “to save the only family he has left.” Jason Michael Berman is executive producer, with Sam Shaw and Buppie Productions’ Ephraim Walker on as co-producers.

Neither Boyega nor DeNiro hardly need further elaboration on their resumes, but Boyega recently starred in Steve McQueen’s excellent Amazon Prime Video anthology film series Small Axe, about the real-life experiences of London’s West Indian community and is set between 1969 and 1982. Boyega stars in the installment titled “Red, White, and Blue,” about the true story of Leroy Logan, who “at a young age saw his father assaulted by two policemen, motivating him to join the Metropolitan Police and change their racist attitudes from within.” Boyega also recently made headlines for speaking publicly about his dissatisfaction with the direction the Star Wars trilogy he starred in took.

Iconic video game designer Hideo Kojima is calling for world peace. In an interview during his acceptance of the New York Game Awards’ Legend Award, Kojima said the world remains divided, just as it was before he and his team made Death Stranding.

Part of the reason he wanted to make Death Stranding was to help bring people together. During the planning stages of Death Stranding, Kojima remarked that the world was becoming increasingly divided and people were becoming isolated from one another, and he observed that this trend has only continued in the time after Death Stranding was released.

In the future, Kojima said he hopes people can make peace and come together.

Composers Jesper Kyd and Sarah Schachner, who both worked on the music for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, will drop two new soundtrack albums this Friday on Spotify that are comprised of previously unreleased songs from the open-world Viking adventure, Game Informer reports.

Titled Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Sons of the Great North (Kyd) and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Twilight of the Gods (Schachner), the two albums offer 61 songs that will transport players all across England to further flesh out Valhalla’s soundscape and world.

Composed by the BAFTA Award-winning Kyd, who has also done the music for Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio Trilogy, Sons of the Great North packs two-and-a-half hours of music that Kyd said “reflects the brutality of the era infused with the spirituality of Norse mythology,” according to Game Informer. The album is 29-tracks long of “previously unreleased” music with natural environmental sounds punctuated by live instruments and “mixed with a modern electronic approach which gives the score a unique sound,” Kyd said.

The Medium is one of the first Microsoft published titles that will be exclusive to the company’s new consoles, with developer Bloober Team assuring fans that the horror with run well on the Xbox Series S.

In an interview with VG24/7, lead designer Wojciech Piejko and producer Jacek Zięba spoke about the experience of playing The Medium on Microsoft’s less powerful Xbox Series S. The pair agreed that the experience was identical, and that only small graphical differences really separate the two in almost indistinguishable ways.

“Yeah, so the graphics are still nice because we’ve got a really cool graphic art style and I love the art style of the game,” said Piejko. “It’s in lower resolution, but it’s still the same great experience.”
