You may have forgotten about MIO: Memories in Orbit, a Metroidvania action platformer announced earlier this year. Well, publisher Focus Entertainment has finally announced a release date; it comes to PS5 very soon, on 20th January 2026. MIO is the name of the little robot you play as. They've lost their memories, and you'll have to navigate a vast, maze-like spaceship in order to solve its mysteries. It looks to contain your typical Metroidvania fare, with a mix of combat and traversal as you s

If you enjoyed building simple (or complex) vehicles to solve puzzles in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, then you’ll absolutely love what PS5 open world Where Winds Meet is cooking. The game, which launched globally last month, is getting a massive update in China which will see it incorporate mechanics where you can build simple cars, boats, and aircrafts. It works similarly to Nintendo’s flagship franchise, where you combine components to construct your makeshift machines. For examp

An interesting datapoint from Circana analyst Mat Piscatella reveals the PS5 was outsold by an unexpected US-based rival in the run up to Black Friday last week. While the Switch 2 being top-selling hardware SKU for the week ending 22nd November won’t come as a massive surprise, the NEX Playground Interactive Gaming System coming second is a bit of a shock. If you’ve never heard of this product, it’s effectively a standalone reimagining of the Kinect – or the EyeToy, if you remember the classic

PS5 console sales in Japan have skyrocketed in the past week, as the new model designed specifically for the country enters the market. Accounting for around two to three days' worth of sales, there were exactly 23,381 purchases of the PS5 Digital Edition in Japan through until 23rd November. In comparison, PS5 sales the week before slumped to just 5,855. This means that the Japan-specific PS5 model, which has launched at a lower price and is essentially region-locked to Japan, has resulted in r

If even one of the biggest games in the world, with all the money it generates on a daily basis, is now embracing AI tools for art production, how much hope is there left? Following the end of the Zero Hour live event this weekend and the beginning of Season 7, Fortnite players have started pointing out parts of the map and in-game items that look suspiciously AI-generated. The game's main Reddit page (via Eurogamer) has now been taken over by posts debating the suspected images and items, with

When Irem & City Connection announced that they were working on a port of R-Type Delta HD Boosted for modern consoles and PCs earlier this year, there was a lot of excitement online. And it's pretty easy to understand why. The original game is frequently listed online for hundreds of pounds on the secondhand market, making this new version a potentially cheaper alternative for those who want to get their hands on the PS1 game, without breaking the bank. Reviews for the game dropped on Thursd

Rockstar has rolled out its latest monthly celebration for Red Dead Online, and this one is all about the Moonshiners. Running from March 3 to March 30, 2026, the “Moonshiner Event Month” delivers stacked bonuses on story missions, sales, and contracts, plus a rotating lineup of free clothing rewards and some of the best discounts we’ve seen on Moonshiner gear in months.

Despite its absence from the recent Nintendo Direct, fresh insider reports claim that a port of Red Dead Redemption 2 for the Nintendo Switch 2 is still on track for release later this year. According to a report from RockstarINTEL, renowned industry insider NateTheHate has reaffirmed that the critically acclaimed western title is slated for the new hybrid console in 2026. The Rumor Mill Churns After Nintendo Direct The speculation resurfaced following Nintendo’s latest Direct presentation on Th

The Wild West has officially conquered the small screen. According to new data, the mobile port of Rockstar Games’ classic Red Dead Redemption has surpassed 10 million downloads since its release in December. However, the breakdown of these numbers reveals a stark divide in how mobile gamers are accessing the title. The Netflix Effect Data provided by analytics firm Sensor Tower (via The Game Business) indicates that the overwhelming majority of these 10 million downloads come from the version i

Rockstar's new current-gen upgrade for Red Dead Redemption is starting to roll out in certain regions, and with the game now live in some parts of the world, we're seeing that this new version has a 50% launch discount on Xbox Series X|S. Available for seemingly the first two weeks after release, Red Dead Redemption has a half price offer right now. Here's how that's looking on the New Zealand store at the moment, with the upgrade expected to go live in other regions over the next few hours: Of

Rockstar Games continues to refine the frontier experience on mobile, bringing highly-requested features and technical improvements to its blockbuster classic. Red Dead Redemption’s journey on mobile devices has been nothing short of a resounding success, and Rockstar Games is keeping the momentum going. Just a month after celebrating a massive milestone of 10 million downloads, the studio has rolled out a brand-new update (v1.58.63226194) for both iOS and Android platforms. Whether you access t

For all the money it earns through GTA Online, you'd think Rockstar would put at least a little bit more effort into the re-releases of its past games. Apparently not, though, as the new PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption is probably about as barebones as you can get. Just like the older PS4 re-release from a few years ago, you get the single player campaign of Red Dead Redemption along with the Undead Nightmare expansion in this package. There's a free upgrade for current PS4 owners, and it's a

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

As 2026 kicks off, the gaming world has its eyes locked on one massive event: the release of Grand Theft Auto VI. After a recent delay pushed the highly anticipated title to November 2026, anxiety has been high among fans fearing another slip into 2027 or a rumored sky-high price tag. However, new predictions from a reputable industry insider suggest gamers might finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief. No More Delays? Tom Henderson, the editor-in-chief of Insider Gaming and a source with a

Fans eager for news on the highly anticipated Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake were left wanting this Tuesday following Remedy Entertainment’s latest financial briefing. While the Finnish studio released its Financial Statements for 2025, detailing a profitable fourth quarter, concrete updates on the noir-shooter’s return were notably absent. According to Remedy’s leadership, this silence is by design—but not their own. Rockstar Holds the Keys to Communication During the investor webcast accompanying

Update [Sun 23rd Nov 2025, 2am]: It seems we might have got to the bottom of this mystery. According to multiple online listings, Capcom will offer "Lenticular Editions" of Resident Evil Requiem for all platforms. So, not just for the Switch 2 but also the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game. Some listings describe this as being a "case sleeve" or "card" (featuring what is basically a changing picture, depending on the angle you view it from). This same type of card has also r

Returnal may not be the best-selling PS5 exclusive, but it’s attracted a slew of copycats. The latest of those looks to be ARMATUS, a roguelite third-person shooter launching in 2026. This game is set in the “demon-infested ruins of Paris”, which some would argue is just modern-day France. But we think the dev’s taking a few creative liberties with the various firearms and celestial powers you’ll have access to. Here’s what the blurb says: The combat in the trailer looks tight, but we’ll need to

The new upgrade for Red Dead Redemption is out today on all platforms, and while the game is now live and playable on Xbox Series X|S, the upgrade path from the old Xbox 360 version isn't working for lots of players - and there's some confusion as to why at the moment. When the team at Rockstar announced this new version of RDR last month, they said that "current owners on PS4, Nintendo Switch, or the digital backward compatible version on Xbox One will be able to upgrade digitally for free". Ho

Rockstar Games announced today, November 6, that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed again. The game will now launch on November 19, 2026. This is a significant push from its previous release date of May 26, 2026, adding another six-month wait for the most anticipated game in history. The news was confirmed by Rockstar in an official statement on their Newswire and social media, and by their parent company, Take-Two Interactive, during its Q2 earnings call. Rockstar's Official Statement In a po

Rockstar Games has released a significant new downloadable patch for GTA Online, aimed at smoothing out the experience following the recent "A Safehouse in the Hills" DLC. Released on January 27, 2026, this update serves as the second major patch since the content drop, targeting a wide array of bugs ranging from Mission Creator glitches to odd visual errors in the new Mansions. Update Overview & Download Sizes The update is available across all major platforms, with file sizes indicating a

In a fresh wave of scrutiny hitting one of gaming’s biggest players, Rockstar Games’ latest UK company accounts have thrust the studio into the spotlight — not for its blockbuster titles, but for its aggressive use of government tax incentives. The fan-site RockstarINTEL broke down the numbers on February 18, 2026, under the headline “Rockstar Games Financials Revealed: ‘Grand Theft Tax’ Scandal Sparks Urgent Demands,” reigniting debates about corporate welfare, worker rights, and the true cost

In a landmark shift for the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption modding communities, Rockstar Games—through its subsidiary Cfx.re—has officially launched the Cfx Marketplace. This new platform serves as a curated digital storefront where creators can sell their custom assets and scripts directly to server owners and fans. This move signals a major evolution in Rockstar’s relationship with the modding community, transitioning from a stance of cautious tolerance to active integration and mone

Rockstar Games has quietly rolled out a new software update for the original Red Dead Redemption, targeting frustrating audio problems that have annoyed players since the native current-generation ports launched in December 2025. The patch, which began deploying on February 24, 2026 (listed as version 1.06 officially and 1.002 on consoles), applies primarily to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Although Rockstar’s support page mentions PC in the notes, no update has appeared for that platform y
