No, There Is No GTA 6 Physical Disc Coming Out at Launch or the Months After — Those Reports and Social Media Posts Are Incorrect

Image
Viral social media posts and articles claiming a physical disc copy of GTA 6 is in the works are incorrect. Various articles and social media accounts reported that GTA 6 would launch on an actual disc by the end of this year after an image featuring comments from Rockstar Support went viral, garnering millions of views. The support email said: “You will be able to acquire a physical copy during the following months.” While the email is legitimate, it does not indicate a disc version is in the works. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the support email was a genuine response to a ticket filed to Rockstar Support asking for a disc version of GTA 6, and that while the response was poorly worded, it did not announce any change in policy, nor confirm a disc release was in the works. THR said “a source with knowledge” of Rockstar’s GTA 6 launch strategy told it there are “no plans” for GTA 6 discs to be printed, “not at launch, and not months after.” When Rockstar Support mentioned a ...

Dead or Alive 6 Last Round Review

Image
I’ve always liked Dead or Alive – unfortunately, that sentence usually has to be followed by a “but,” lest people think you’re some kind of weird pervert. “Not like that!” you might yell. “I think the Triangle System is rad!” It’s tiresome, and Dead or Alive 6 is a mechanically rich fighting game that deserves better than that stuff dominating the conversation around it. That said, while everything that made it special in 2019 still holds up today, Last Round specifically just doesn't feel worth the cash if you already own the original – and there are several things missing from it that really should have been included in a re-release of a seven-year-old game. Before we jump into the ring and throw some punches, let's set some ground rules and establish what Last Round is (and unfortunately is not). Last Round is Dead or Alive 6 bundled with five of the seven DLC fighters previously released for the original game (Nyotengu, Phase 4, Momiji, Rachel, and Tamaki), five new costume...

New Warhammer 40,000 Animation Is Almost Entirely From the Perspective of a Single World Eaters Berzerker — and Now I Want a First-Person Chaos Space Marine Game

Image
The hugely popular Space Marine 2 did a great job of delivering third-person action, but what about a big-budget first-person Space Marine game? So far, that doesn’t exist, but the latest Warhammer 40,000 animated show from Games Workshop gives fans an idea of what it might look like. During Games Workshop’s Big Summer Preview showcase, the UK company revealed the debut trailer for a new animation called The Butcher’s Nails, which is due to hit the company’s streaming platform, Warhammer TV, soon. The gory clip stars a World Eaters Berzerker called Makrath, who joins forces with members of fellow Chaos Space Marine faction, the Iron Warriors, during an assault against loyalist Space Marines backed up by soldiers of the Astra Militarum. The trailer shows Makrath ripping his enemies to shreds from a first-person perspective, giving us an idea of what a World Eaters Berzerker sees from within his helmet. There are cool, Space Marine HUD elements — the kind you’d expect to see in a first...

True Scale of Bungie Layoffs Revealed, With Nearly 300 Cut From Its Bellevue, Washington Headquarters Alone

Image
The layoffs Bungie announced yesterday hit nearly 300 staff who worked at the developer’s Bellevue, Washington office, official records have revealed. A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice issued by Sony to the Washington State Employment Security Department, reported by Game File , reveals 292 staff have been let go with a formal separation date set for July 9. This number does not account for Bungie staff outside Washington state. It is unknown how many staff remain at Bungie following the cuts, although the studio was reported to have employed 850 staff as of 2024. It is Bungie's third round of layoffs in three years. According to The Seattle Times , Bungie once had 1,000 employees in Bellevue, according to a 2023 annual financial report from the city. Between October 2023 and July 2024, Bungie laid off around 320 staff. Local press have called the cuts a "bloodbath." In its statement yesterday, Hermen Hulst, CEO, Studio Business Group, Sony I...

Amazon Has a Kingdom Hearts Keyblade at Its Lowest Price in 2026

Image
The Kingdom Hearts games have amassed one of the most loyal fandoms in gaming. Square Enix really tapped into something special when it combined classic Disney characters with a totally unique RPG. Unfortunately for Kingdom Hearts fans, none of the Prime Day Square Enix deals this year include any of the actual games. There is, however, a 3-foot stainless steel Keyblade that just dropped to its lowest price ever on Amazon. Look, nobody actually needs a sword. But we only recently got Kingdom Hearts 4 gameplay footage for the first time earlier this month and there's absolutely no release date attached. Waiting forever for the next entry in the series is inevitable, but whether or not you own a replica of Sora's iconic blade is entirely in your control. This Keyblade is normally priced at $59.99, but a very recent price cut shaves off a few dollars during Amazon's Prime Day sale. It's not all that much of a discount, but it's still a surprisingly good price for w...

GTA 6 May Be Borrowing a Major Mechanic from Red Dead Redemption 2

Image
Grand Theft Auto 6 could be taking a major mechanic from Red Dead Redemption 2, which might bother some GTA fans. Today, Rockstar Games revealed the Ultimate Edition for GTA 6, which includes a bunch of goodies, some of which have been creating controversy . One of these perks is free access to a garage, which will boast a weapons locker where you can "customize your loadout for any occasion." This makes it sound like players may have to be more intentional with the weapons they take with them. In Red Dead Redemption 2, you can only have two large weapons (rifles, shotguns, etc.) and two handguns. If there isn't a physical way for your character to hold the weapon, it stays on your horse. It's more realistic and forces the player to be more conscious of their loadout, something that has been divisive with players over the years. This is also radically different from the way GTA handles it, as GTA 5 allows you to carry dozens of weapons in your pocket. However, fans h...
