About Load Screen News
What Load Screen News Covers
Load Screen News is an independent website about sports and racing video games. We cover the big annual sports series, including EA Sports FC, NBA 2K, Madden NFL, MLB The Show, EA Sports NHL and College Football, as well as golf and tennis games. On the racing side, we cover Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon, the official F1 games, rally and kart racers, and the wider world of sim and arcade racing.
We write about the games themselves: how modes and mechanics work, how to get started, which settings to change and how the major series came to be. We do not cover real-world match results, transfers or race weekends, and we are not a breaking-news site. Our aim is to publish explainers that stay useful long after they go live.

Who Writes Here
Articles on Load Screen News are published under the name Jordan Pike. This is a pen name used by a small independent editorial team, and we say so openly. We do not claim careers at game studios, professional esports experience or insider access. What we do commit to is careful research, clear writing and linking to the sources we rely on, so you can check our work yourself.
How We Work
Every article is researched against reliable sources such as official publisher and developer websites, in-game documentation and patch notes, established reference works and reputable gaming outlets. AI tools help with drafting, and every piece is fact-checked and edited by a person before it is published. You can read more about this in our editorial policy.
Independence
Load Screen News is not affiliated with any game developer, publisher, league, platform holder or storefront. We do not publish betting or gambling content, and we never give advice on buying packs or virtual currency. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labelled as “Sponsored”.
