Take-Two Boss Believes in the Pull of GTA 6 Even Amid Rising Cost of Console Gaming

Image
The cost of console gaming has become significantly more expensive in recent months. Sony hiked the price of PS5 hardware in April , which means a new PS5 now starts at $600, and a PS5 Pro now costs $900. More recently, Sony raised the price of PlayStation Plus , which is required for online gaming. Microsoft, too, has increased the price of the Xbox Series X and S, although it has cut the price of Xbox Game Pass . GTA 6 is probably the most anticipated video game of all time, and it is expected to break sales records. But it is also coming out on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S only — there is no PC version at launch. This means that you need a modern console to play it, and there will be many who will be looking to buy one for the first time just to play GTA 6 this November. But could the high cost of a PlayStation or Xbox in 2026 put potential new console gamers off? Could the rising cost of entry limit the potential success of even GTA 6? I put that to Strauss Zelnick, boss of Rockst...

Dawn of War IV Dev Doesn't See Total War: Warhammer 40,000 as Direct Competition, Reckons Fans Will Play Both Games

Image
It’s a busy time for Warhammer 40,000 video games. The recent Warhammer Skulls showcase included a long list of reveals and updates, confirming that Warhammer 40,000 fans will have plenty to choose from in the coming year or so. Perhaps the two most-anticipated Warhammer 40,000 games are Dawn of War IV and Total War: Warhammer 40,000 , both PC-focused strategy games that, while very different, share a common language and, to the casual observer, look similar. But with both Dawn of War IV developer King Art Games and Total War: Warhammer 40,000 developer Creative Assembly hoping for long-term success with their games and potentially years of DLC support, is there room for both? I put that question to King Art Games creative director Jan Theysen and senior game designer Elliott Verbiest, who responded by insisting Total War: Warhammer 40,000 isn’t Dawn of War IV’s direct competition. On the contrary, the pair believe having another great Warhammer 40,000 video game out there can only h...

Destiny 2 Fans React to Bungie Ending Support for the Game

Image
Bungie announced earlier today that Destiny 2 support is coming to an end as its next update will be its last . Naturally, fans are pretty upset. The news come after a tumultuous few years for Bungie. In 2022, Sony acquired Bungie for $3.6 billion and ever since then, things have been rocky. Last year, Sony noted that Bungie was failing to meet expectations when it came to Destiny 2's performance, resulting in a $204 million impairment loss. The losses have continued to pile up, as Sony recently noted a $765 impariment loss following the release of Marathon earlier this year. Now, Bungie is shifting away from Destiny 2 while promising big changes for Marathon . Fans have responded to the Destiny 2 news with great sadness, fearing this may be the beginning of the end for Bungie. "It’s over for Bungie," speculated a user on X . "Destiny 2 died so Marathon could die a little bit later," said another user . Others are more hopeful, taking it to possibly mean th...

GTA 6 November 2026 Release Date Is Happening, Take-Two Boss Says, Pouring Cold Water on Delay Fears

Image
GTA 6 will launch on November 19, 2026, Take-Two has said, reaffirming the announced release date and putting to bed delay fears. Speaking to IGN ahead of Take-Two’s fiscal year 2026 financial results, CEO Strauss Zelnick insisted GTA 6 was on-track. “I've been saying for some time that the release date is November 19,” he said. “We obviously reiterated that today, so we feel really good about it.” Reporting its financial results for the 2026 fiscal year, Take-Two, which owns GTA 6 developer Rockstar Games, said it expects a “breakout year” for the company, led by “the most anticipated entertainment property of all time.” Take-Two confirmed Rockstar’s plan to kick off the GTA 6 marketing campaign this summer, with pre-orders expected to go live at the same time, as fans await the release of Trailer 3. But can GTA 6 get away with not releasing a Trailer 3, or even showing off gameplay before launch? We asked Zelnick, and he had an interesting response . Take-Two said it expects to ...

Forza Horizon 6 Players Are Using Exploits to Farm Easy Credits and Unlock Every Car

Image
Forza Horizon 6 players are exploiting certain parts of the game so that they can quickly and easily unlock every vehicle in the game. As spotted by GamesRadar , YouTuber XMBWesley posted a guide on how to quickly rack up a bunch of credits and XP. For starters, you can use map code 121 812 769, equip the Impreza 22B-STI Version 1998 Subaru (you'll need to acquire this if you don't already have it), and then enable auto-steering and assisted braking. The game will essentially do all the work for you and ram your car into a bunch of objects. This will not only earn you credits at the end of the race, but give you skill points. By investing the skill points back into your vehicle, you can unlock more wheel spins, bonuses, and more to help quickly earn additional credits. You can do this as much as you want, but there is also a second race that is just as lucrative. If you enter the map code 197 337 317, you can play another track with the same custom settings as the previous ra...

Image
If you're planning out a PC build and have been hoping to get one of the new Nvidia Blackwell graphics cards at a reasonable price, this might be the best opportunity you'll get in the near future. Walmart is offering a retail boxed PNY GeForce RTX 5070 12GB graphics card for just $599 shipped. Mind you this is still $50 over MSRP, but it's the best price I can find right now for a standalone 5070 GPU and the first time I've seen this card drop below $600 this year. PNY GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC Graphics Card for $599 The GeForce RTX 5070 GPU is an excellent choice for 1080p or 1440p gaming. Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5070 offers a slight performance improvement over the RTX 4070 Super , which was and still is an excellent GPU. The fps gain is greater in games that support DLSS 4.5 with multi-frame generation. Read our RTX 5070 review for our hands-on impressions. This PNY model features a slim 2.4-slot triple-fan cooling system and a slight ove...
