Battlefield 6 has unveiled what’s changing with update 1.2.1.5, which rolls out today (March 3).

Battlefield 6 got off to a strong start in 2025 but has faced backlash from its community in recent months, bringing its Steam user score down to ‘Mixed.’ As some players review-bombed its battle royale REDSEC offshoot and others pleaded for larger maps, many began to question if two maps per season were enough to keep players engaged. Confusion then reached new levels in January, when EA and BF Studios announced Season 2 was delayed to February 17.

While we wait to see how the team plans to continue building on Battlefield 6, you can read about some of the ways BF Studios is adjusting its controversial cosmetics.

Capcom has removed a controversial new form of DRM from Resident Evil 4 Remake, following complaints that its recent addition was impacting performance.

An update to the game’s Steam database listing shows that the Enigma DRM was removed earlier today, March 3, after an earlier listing showing its addition at the beginning of February.

Capcom has not commented publicly on the changes, though fans were quick to spot the publisher replacing the game’s previous Denuvo anti-piracy protection with Enigma, and the hit to performance that followed.

It’s a subject recently covered by Digital Foundry, whose tests showed a 40 percent deficit in performance within the game’s intro cutscenes, though more modest differences during gameplay. In a video published last month, DF’s Alex Battaglia noted that Denuvo was believed to operate as a subscription service, and that at some point publishers typically remove the software when its cost outweighs any perceived losses from piracy.

It’s at this point that fans believe Capcom switched to Enigma instead — a decision it has now seemingly U-turned on.

“Updating years old software with new DRM is just stupid,” Battaglia said. “Like, stop, don’t do that in the first place. Regardless of any possible performance degradations, what it’ll do to your game is just piss off your audience. It’ll make your modding scene really upset.”

Now, word that Enigma DRM is gone from Resident Evil 4 is being celebrated by fans on reddit, even as the decision to add it in the first place is being criticized.

“This was the most mid level executive that’s detached from gaming move I’ve seen,” wrote Resident Evil fan CoDog. “Like who would’ve thought it was a good idea to put in DRM on a two year old game that’s been regularly on sale that tanks low to mid level pc hardware’s performance? Seriously mind boggling move from Capcom.”

It sounds like a good time to revisit Resident Evil 4 Remake, though not before you’re done with the brilliant Resident Evil Requiem first. If you’re still exploring Leon S. Kennedy’s latest adventure then IGN’s Resident Evil: Requiem guide will help you every step of the way through RE9. Take note of these key tips and tricks before you get started, and focus on finding these important items early.

Though millions of us are still busy with Resident Evil Requiem, it seems developer Capcom isn’t content to leave us playing as Raccoon City’s unluckiest cop for long — a presentation showing off what else the developer has in the works is set for Thursday, March 5.

Capcom Spotlight is a digital event that brings us up to date on the latest news from Capcom and the developer’s upcoming releases. Set for 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm UK time), the half-hour show will be subtitled in 13 different languages.

The 30-minute digital event will update us on several upcoming Capcom games, and in particular Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, Pragmata, Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fights Edition, Mega Man Starforce Legacy Collection, and Megaman Dual Override.

Megaman Dual Override is, of course, the brand-new entry in the classic action platforming series expected to release next year, while Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection is a compilation of Mega Man video games, including Mega Man Star Force: Pegasus, Mega Man Star Force: Leo, Mega Man Star Force: Dragon, Mega Man Star Force: Zerker x Ninja, Mega Man Star Force: Zerker x Saurian, Mega Man Star Force 3: Black Ace, and Mega Man Star Force 3: Red Joker. (Phew!)

Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition, currently expected in June, includes 26 characters released from Years 1 & 2, including their Outfit 1 Colors 3-10, and 20 stages (Alex is out later this month), while Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection tells the story of two nations on the path to ruin and the discovery of a mysterious egg gives cause for hope. It’s out next month.

Last but not least is Pragmata, an all-new sci-fi action adventure with its own unique hacking twist. Set in the near future, protagonists Hugh and his android companion Diana must work together as they make their way through the cold lunar research station.

Of course, that’s just what Capcom has confirmed will be shown — there’s usually a surprise or two, too, so make sure to tune in on Thursday.

On the subject of Capcom: we may now know the solution to Capcom’s devious Resident Evil Requiem Final Puzzle, but a whole new mystery is just beginning for fans — one centered on Leon S. Kennedy, and a huge secret that’s only hinted at in the game’s closing moments. Here’s what we know so far…
