GTA 6 pre-orders opened to enormous fanfare last Thursday, June 25, with online estimates suggesting millions of players have already put down $70-$100 for the most expensive game ever made. But according to reports surfacing from GameStop employees, that excitement isn't translating into foot traffic at physical retail locations — and the reason seems to come down to one decision from Rockstar. As first noticed by Polygon, GameStop staff have taken to Reddit to share just how badly in-store pre

GTA 6's marketing blitz is officially underway, and the early advertising push is making one thing pretty clear: PlayStation paid handsomely for the spotlight. Following last week's pre-order launch, Rockstar Games has started rolling out ads across social media, video platforms, and physical retail — and across nearly all of them, Xbox is nowhere to be found. The PlayStation-only messaging The first ad spotted came from Rockstar's official Twitter account, promoting the Grand Theft Auto VI: Ult

Xbox has pushed back hard against claims that PlayStation is running away with Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders, insisting that its own numbers are setting records — even as outside data suggests Sony has a sizeable lead. The spark: an 8-to-1 claim The controversy began when IGN's affiliate/commerce team shared data suggesting that PS5 pre-orders for GTA 6 were outperforming Xbox Series X|S pre-orders by a margin of roughly 8-to-1. Earlier reporting had pegged the gap closer to 6-to-1, but the num

The on-again, off-again saga of whether Grand Theft Auto VI will ever ship on a physical disc has taken another turn — and this time the news isn't good for fans hoping to own a "real" copy of the game. According to a report from RockstarINTEL, a source close to Rockstar's plans has indicated there are no plans to ever print discs for GTA 6, not at launch and not months down the line either. The claim reportedly comes via a trusted Hollywood trade publication, which says it followed up directly

Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders have only been live for a matter of days, and the early numbers tell a lopsided story: PS5 copies of the game are reportedly outselling Xbox Series X versions by a ratio of 6-to-1, according to a report from IGN. It's a striking gap heading into one of the biggest game launches in years, and it's arriving alongside a separate, more troubling headline — there might not be enough consoles in stores to actually meet the demand. A Lopsided Pre-Order Split The 6-to-1 fig

Eight months after its August 28, 2025 release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater stands tall as one of the best ways to experience Hideo Kojima’s 2004 masterpiece. Built in Unreal Engine 5, this isn’t a radical reimagining—it’s a loving, high-fidelity recreation that modernizes visuals, controls, and quality-of-life while keeping every iconic moment intact. Graphics & Atmosphere: 9.5/10 The Tselinoyarsk jungle has never felt more alive. Dense foliage sways real

Just 24 hours after its February 27, 2026 launch, Resident Evil Requiem (the ninth mainline entry) already feels like the series' victory lap after three decades of evolution. Directed by Koshi Nakanishi and built on the RE Engine, this is Capcom at the absolute peak of its powers—blending the raw, claustrophobic terror of Resident Evil 7 and Village with the slick, over-the-top action of the RE4 remake into one cohesive, heart-pounding package. It's not just another zombie game; it's the emotio

For nearly three decades, Final Fantasy Tactics has sat on the strategy RPG throne, often imitated but rarely equaled. With the release of The Ivalice Chronicles late last year, Square Enix has finally brought Ramza Beoulve’s war-torn journey to modern hardware. After spending 60+ hours with the game (and another 10 tinkering with the "Classic" mode), I can confidently say this is the definitive way to play the masterpiece—though it comes with a few baffling omissions that keep it from absolute

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the enhanced version of the 2020 classic, finally arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 just days ago on January 22, 2026. This port brings the full Intergrade experience—including the base game and the excellent Yuffie-focused Episode INTERmission DLC—to Nintendo's powerful new hybrid console. For years, fans wondered if Square Enix's ambitious remake project would ever grace a Nintendo platform. Now that it's here, it feels like a perfect fit, delivering one of the

Look, Black Ops 7 is the latest in Treyarch's Black Ops saga—a direct sequel to Black Ops 2 set in 2035, where you're chasing ghosts from the past (literally, with fear toxins and nightmare realms) as David "Section" Mason and his squad take on some evil tech corp called The Guild. Critics gave it a middling 65-66 on Metacritic, calling it "mixed." Users? A brutal 1.6—"Overwhelming Dislike"—the lowest ever for a Call of Duty game. Steam's at 35% positive. Why the Grand Canyon of a review gap? Cr
