The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red is reportedly sticking to its plan to release not one, not two, but three new games within a six year period. To be clear, the company's referring to the new trilogy, which starts with The Witcher 4. The Ciri-led adventure doesn't have a release date (or even a release window) yet, but the idea is that once it's out, you won't have to wait too long for The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6. "As we had stated before, our plan still is to launch the whole trilogy wit

Rockstar Games is activating a long-anticipated age verification system for GTA Online in Australia, effective Monday, March 9, 2026. This change stems directly from the country's new online safety laws targeting R18+ classified content. Players in Australia logging into GTA Online will now face a mandatory age check before accessing multiplayer lobbies. The requirement was first teased through datamining leaks in mid-2025, with menu screenshots and code strings hinting at an "age block" prompt.

Ahead of its PS5 version launching tomorrow, the Trophy list for Red Dead Redemption has gone live, sharing what is an identical list to the PS4 edition. Exophase has the complete list of 52 Trophies, which is mostly focused on the base game, with some Trophies for the Undead Nightmare expansion to go along with it. As this is the same list as the PS4 version, we can pull on the Trophy guides published for that edition to confirm we're looking at a very achievable Platinum Trophy on PS5. PSN Pro

Jennifer Hale, one of the most iconic voice actors and best known for playing Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect trilogy and Naomi Hunter and Emma Emmerich in the Metal Gear Solid series, has spoken about her experience in playing Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3. Hale, who took over the role from Hellena Taylor for the third entry in the series, told GAMINGbible (via IGN) that she "got thrown under the bus by that whole thing." "I was unable to speak on my own behalf because I was under not one but t

Clearly, much more than honour was at stake

Rockstar Games, the developer behind the decade's most anticipated title, Grand Theft Auto 6, is at the center of a massive labor scandal this week. The studio has reportedly fired 30 to 40 employees across its offices in the United Kingdom and Canada, in a move that a prominent trade union is calling "one of the most blatant and ruthless acts of union busting in the history of the games industry." The controversy erupted after reports from outlets like Bloomberg, PCMag, and Eurogamer confirmed

Grand Theft Auto Online is one of the greatest successes in entertainment history. It is also an absolute mess. Launched in 2013, it has morphed from a simple open-world lobby into a sprawling, chaotic, and almost impenetrable behemoth. After 12 years of content updates, its economy is shattered, its lobbies are ruled by griefers on flying rocket bikes, and new players face a laughably impossible climb. It is a game buckling under the weight of its own success. With Grand Theft Auto 6 officially

The new version of Red Dead Redemption for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will be with us on Tuesday, December 2nd, and it's already Tuesday in some countries right now, hence why we've got some early footage! It always seems to be Fuzion Xbox Testing on YouTube that gets to this kind of stuff earlier than anyone else, and they've already provided us with detailed early looks at both the Xbox Series X and Series S versions of RDR 1. On Xbox Series X, we can see that Red Dead Redemption is runni

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Rockstar's parent company, argues that AI is a "backward-looking" tool that can't replicate the human "genius" required for a new Grand Theft Auto. As the hype for Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to build, the head of its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, has weighed in on the future of game development, stating unequivocally that Generative AI will not be creating Grand Theft Auto 7.   In a series of widely reported interviews, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has forcefull

The Grand Theft Auto 6 hype-train has left the station once again, this time fueled by a significant backend update to the game's official PlayStation Store page. Eagle-eyed fans monitoring the store listing reported early Tuesday that the page has been updated to include new, previously unseen sections: one for a "ratings section" and, more importantly, a section for "GTA+ Online options." While a "ratings" section was spotted in October, it was largely dismissed as a platform-wide update by So

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red might be teasing something for the game's imminent fifth anniversary. We've written about this before, but it wouldn't surprise us in the least if the company has plans. After all, third-party developer Virtuos is — as far as we know — still working on updates for the open world title, having helped create Patch 2.3 earlier in the year. Some fans have theorised that the team's been working on another big update ever since, and the game's fifth anniversary

The Grand Theft Auto 6 community is on high alert as fan anticipation, insider speculation, and corporate schedules have aligned, pointing to a potentially massive reveal. With Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, scheduled to hold its quarterly earnings call this Thursday, November 6, all eyes are on the developer for a long-awaited "Trailer 3." This isn't baseless hype. The speculation is fueled by a perfect storm of recent, tangible updates from Rockstar and its partners, all

Yakuza Kiwami 3 will apparently feature "major hints" about where the Like a Dragon series is heading, despite being a PS5 and PS4 remake of a PS3 title. This is according to RGG Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama, who isn't a stranger to saying stuff that'll make Yakuza fans sit up and take notice. "It contains some major hints about the future direction of the series," Yokoyama told GameWatch (as translated by Automaton). He continues: "We haven’t officially announced anything related to that

In the video game industry, "longevity" usually means a game is still popular a year after launch. For Rockstar Games, it means still topping sales charts over a decade later. It's a bizarre and incredible phenomenon that honestly feels like it's breaking all the rules of how gaming is supposed to work. Every time a new sales report drops, we all expect the numbers for Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 to finally start slowing down. And every time, we're wrong. Let's just look at the
