GTA 6 Gameplay Leaks Nine Days Before Rockstar’s Netflix Show
Grand Theft Auto 6 leaked again on Tuesday. Not a teaser. Not a pause menu. Two clips that look like actual play, plus an image that claims to be the full map of Leonida, nine days before Rockstar’s own Extended Look premieres on Netflix. A handle calling itself CyberLeek posted the lot. One clip has Jason shooting hoops outside a house. The other has him driving, then picking a fight in the...[Read More]
Modern Warfare 4’s Beta Starts Friday, Right After Call of Duty NEXT
Modern Warfare 4’s Early Access Beta starts Friday, August 21 at 11:00am PT (2:00pm ET), right after Call of Duty NEXT signs off. First time they have stacked the showcase and the servers like that. Infinity Ward is not giving the broadcast a cooling-off weekend. You watch the broadcast, then you load in. Pre-order required for that first window, on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It...[Read More]
Warren Spector Says He Is Retiring, and This Time He Thinks He Means It
Warren Spector posted the news on LinkedIn on August 18, 2026, then set his profile to Retired, which is a cleaner status line than most farewell essays. “I’m retiring from game development. At least I think so. I’ve been here before and changed my mind but this time I’m pretty sure I mean it.” That is the quote, and the hedge is doing as much work as the announcement...[Read More]

Pre-orders open September 1 at 7:00am PT (10:00am ET) on PlayStation Direct and at participating retailers.

Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 Puts Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy on Day One
Xbox Game Pass August Wave 2 puts Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one, August 27. Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, and PC. I opened Xbox’s August 18 post. That is the official list, not a wishlist screenshot.

Sony’s CEO Still Will Not Put a Date on the PS6
Hiroki Totoki still will not put a date on PlayStation 6. Sony’s president and CEO said this week that the company has not fixed a launch date for the next console. That is the same answer he gave on Sony’s May results briefing. The next box does not have a year on it because Sony has not written one down. I checked playstation.com and the PlayStation Store. There is no PS6 hardware pa...[Read More]
Sony Hands S-Game a Whole State of Play, and Phantom Blade Zero Is Not a Souls-like
Sony handed S-Game a whole State of Play on August 17, about twenty minutes, and founder Soulframe Liang used it the way a studio should use a solo show: combat, maps, difficulty, and a hard line on what Phantom Blade Zero is not. North America gets the game on October 28, 2026, on PlayStation 5. The rest of the world follows October 29. S-Game’s own site and Steam page also list PC for that...[Read More]
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition Hits Switch 2 on August 28
ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition hits Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28, 2026. I checked Nintendo’s own news post and the US store page. Both say August 28. The store lists it at $79.99. That is the number Nintendo of America put on the product, not a guess from a listing aggregator. Nintendo’s August write-up is the “rise, Tarnished” recap. The store SKU is dated 2026-08-28. If y...[Read More]

The Gears of War: E-Day open beta closed today at 10:00am PT (1:00pm ET). The Coalition ran two weekends of multiplayer on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Steam. October 6 is still the launch. This was the last public look at Horde Siege and the refined 4v4 Versus before the full game ships. Early Access ran August 6 at 12:00pm PT through August 10 at 10:00am PT for pre-orders and for Game Pass U...[Read More]
Halls of Torment Review
There is a particular kind of greed, rare in a medium that usually hands you a skill tree and a map, in watching a pre-rendered hero spin in place while a thousand undead pay rent on the same pixel. The clock is a dare. The Lord is a calendar appointment. Halls of Torment, the horde-survival roguelite from Stuttgart’s Chasing Carrots, is built on that appointment, and the appointment is deep...[Read More]
