It’s another GTA Online Weekly Update and it’s a big one to make some money in the casino before mansions get added. Plus, we have the the usual rotated discounts and more. This Event Week will run from November 20th through November 26th. GTA Online Content Updates Mansions Construction Continues Rockstar Games will be releasing a brand new GTA Online DLC next month with a heavy focus on mansions. These new properties will be sold by Prix Luxury Real Estate. The company have begun construction

Apparently, we must warn you about the content of the latest gameplay trailer for Hellraiser: Revival, because it’s seriously graphic stuff. While there is a heavily edited version on YouTube, dev Boss Team Games is encouraging you to watch the red band version on its official website, which is much more explicit. Obviously, your discretion is advised. The trailer itself is pretty rough, showing all kinds of mutilation and sexual deviation. Based on what we played of the title at Gamescom, thou

Reanimal is one of the headline games for today's Xbox Partner Showcase, but the key detail from the show has gotten out ahead of time: the PS5 horror title will release on 13th February 2026. PC platform Steam currently lists the release date on the game's landing page, offering up a horror-fueled alternative to any early Valentine's Day dates. The title comes from Tarsier Studios, which made the first two Little Nightmares games before leaving the franchise behind for Reanimal. "In this horror

PS4 classic Bloodborne turned 10 this year, and to celebrate, Sony did absolutely nothing whatsoever. Companies have no duty to celebrate anniversaries in any substantial way, but given the FromSoftware game's status as a fan favorite, it was hoped that something might happen. It didn't, of course, but there is one way you can still mark the occasion: a series of new Bloodborne vinyl sets offering select tracks from the soundtrack. Pre-orders are opening up today. Available from Laced Records, y

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is now available on PS5 after one year of Xbox Series X|S and PC exclusivity, and much like that original launch, the hardcore title comes with a long list of technical faults on PS5. We have had access to the open world game for a few weeks now for review purposes, but have encountered numerous bugs, glitches, and performance issues during that time. A day one patch has been promised to fix many of those flaws, and now the game is out, so too is update 1.7. Based on our experie

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds gets a bit spongier this week, as its SpongeBob SquarePants DLC pack is now available in the kart racer. Those who own the season pass or Digital Deluxe edition of CrossWorlds will already have access, or you can buy the pack separately for $5.99/£4.99. Here's a look at what you're getting: The DLC adds both SpongeBob and Patrick as playable racers, alongside the Patty Wagon vehicle and a brand new track that takes the game to Bikini Bottom. You're also getting new musi

Earlier this week, G-Mode announced it would be reissuing another rare mobile spin-off to Atlus's 2004 tactical RPG, Stella Deus, as a G-MODE Archives+ title for Nintendo Switch and PC (thanks Gematsu!). Stella Deus: Time of Alchemy was originally released in 2007 for i-Mode compatible feature phones (mobile phones with limited functionality that predate modern smartphones). It is the follow-up to 2006's Stella Deus: The Spirit of Darkness, which G-Mode reissued back in September, and, much like

The arcade market may be a shadow of its former self, but that doesn't mean its most distinguished veterans aren't still plugging away with new cabinets and titles. Sega Amusements has just revealed that it is updating its Daytona Championship USA arcade title with a new "motion" version, evoking the "taikan" ("body sensation") craze that Sega spearheaded in the '80s with games like Hang-On, Space Harrier, and After Burner. Here's what Sega Amusements has to say about the new model: As spotted b

Yesterday, AYANEO held a special "Sharing Session" for its upcoming "premium" handheld, the AYANEO Pocket VERT, going over some of the features that will be included with the Game Boy-style device. Many of these features we'd already heard about in the past, such as the fact that it will include diamond-cut shoulder buttons, a 3.5" 1600×1440 LCD screen, and will offer "10× pixel-perfect Game Boy scaling". But there was also another surprise announcement from AYANEO's CEO, Arthur Zhang, which we

With three weeks to go until the Mega Dimension DLC drops, Pokémon Legends: Z-A has unveiled its next brand new Mega Evolution, and this time it's a Mythical Pokémon getting an upgrade. Zeraora was first introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, way back in Gen VII, and its Mega form makes a few subtle changes to its original design. Its mostly-yellow fur has turned black, and there's now a lot more blue on its knees, head, and chest. its blue tuft on its head has turned to something res

If you're into cozy games with crafting, farming, and the like, but also like driving around in an open world, Dutch studio Square Glade Games has announced that Outbound is coming to Switch 2. Previously announced for the original Switch (don't worry, it's still coming to that console if you're a Switch 1 faithful), the game was a Kickstarter success back in 2024, raising a chunky €265,679 to bring Outbound to PC and consoles in Q2 2026, and that now includes Switch 2. The trailer above will gi

Genvid CEO Jacob Navok, the former Director of Business at Square Enix, has shared his two cents' worth on the ongoing debate surrounding the use of AI in game development. While it's far from a glowing endorsement of the practice, Navok argues that most players "generally do not care" about it (thanks for the heads up, GamesRadar+). "For all the anti-AI sentiment we're seeing in various articles," Navok wrote in a recent post on X, "it appears consumers generally do not care". Alongside the suc

It was announced a little while back that the Gran Turismo series reached a whopping 100 million copies sold in total, making it comfortably one of Sony's most successful franchises. In celebration of this milestone, developer Polyphony Digital has announced a couple of things for Gran Turismo 7. The first is a major free update named Spec III, due for release in December. Additionally, a premium DLC called the Power Pack is also on the way, arriving at the same time as the update. Now, a less s

Capcom has announced a new sales milestone for its fan favourite action RPG, Dragon's Dogma 2. As revealed on its official social channels, the cult hit sequel has now surpassed 4 million copies sold: Dragon's Dogma 2 launched in March 2024, meaning it's taken around 20 months for it to reach the milestone. The first 3 million sales were within the game's first few months. While fans are happy to celebrate the news, many responses are asking after some sort of DLC. The original Dragon's Dogma ev

Today's Xbox Game Pass roundup has delivered some lovely upcoming additions - which we're very grateful to see given that the post-Black Ops 7 XGP lineup was looking a little thin. One game that's really standing out to us here is The Crew Motorfest; Ubisoft's 2023 racer set in open-world Hawaii. At the time of its release, we said that a true Forza Horizon competitor had come to market, and today, we're doubling down on that. Motorfest is a really good open world racing game, and one that's abs

Right now, it's a pretty good time to be a fan of shoot 'em ups! Not only did Polygon Bird's Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga-esque shooter Birdcage recently release on Steam, earning some incredible early reactions from players. But we also have a ton of other exciting indie shoot 'em ups on the horizon to look forward to, with the latest of these to be added to our own personal wishlist being the promising 2D sidescroller, AGGRESTA. The promising shoot 'em up first came to our attention earlier t

It appears Rockstar Games have introduced some GTA 6 assets into GTA Online before the new game has come out. That’s according to a couple of dataminers who have delved into the game’s files from the Money Fronts update. Last week, Rockstar launched a series of new mansion teaser missions called the New Listing missions. As part of it, it led dataminer Lucas7yoshi_RS to examine how the missions work. He found some interesting things such as how the pool cover at Devin’s mansion is actually a bun

After all of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A: Mega Dimension DLC news earlier this month, The Pokémon Company announced that another trailer drop would be heading our way on 19th November (that’s tomorrow, if you were wondering). Well, with the day almost upon us, we’ve got some more specific details about when we can expect things to get underway. As brought to our attention by Serebii.net, tomorrow’s new trailer will debut on the official Pokémon Company YouTube channel at 2pm GMT / 9am ET / 6am PT /

EA Sports and Codemasters have been churning out yearly Formula One games for a while now, and it looks like it's time for a shake up. The publisher has announced its plans for the next couple of years of the franchise, and in a nutshell, it's skipping a new, standalone game in 2026, instead opting to overhaul the series for a big return in 2027. The 2026 season won't go completely unrepresented, however, as a paid expansion for F1 25 will be released in lieu of a full new game. "Today, EA SPORT

EA has confirmed a free trial for Battlefield 6 will go live for one week on 25th November 2025, allowing anyone access to five multiplayer modes and three maps until 2nd December. While the Battle Royale mode Redsec is free-to-play, the main game is a full-priced title. Through the free trial, you could get a taste for the action before committing to a purchase if you like what you play. In addition to the free trial, today marks the second content update for Season 1. There's another new map c

Subscribers to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium have less than a month left to revisit Liberty City, as Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition is set to leave the service on December 16. This marks the end of the title’s current six-month stint on the platform, following a pattern of rotation common for Rockstar Games titles on subscription services. A Familiar Departure This isn't the first time the classic open-world title has cycled out of Sony's game catalog. The game, which has bee

Switch development continues to grow, and thanks to a now properly cemented community, the emulation scene for the Switch can thrive above and beyond where both Yuzu and Ryujinx left off. The current main three Switch emulators as of right now are Citron, Eden and Ryubing, with the first two being based off Yuzu, and the later being based on Ryujinx. Over the course of several months, a lot of emulation drama has been going on behind the scenes, be it with Switch emulators popping up only to be

A North American arcade operator has reported over $25,000 worth of items stolen recently, sparking a heartfelt campaign to recover the missing items. Charlie Mosley, owner of the Seattle-based Gamecenter arcade, found that his truck was missing one morning last week. Contained within were two arcade machines and a selection of other components, the total worth of which is estimated to be between $25,000 and $40,000. "On Wednesday, our 26' box truck with tens of thousands of dollars in PCBs, arc

Publisher Capcom appears to confirm that Resident Evil Requiem won't be receiving a pre-launch demo. For many of the previous games in the series, Capcom has released some form of playable demo ahead of release, allowing fans to take the latest survival horror title for a spin. Even going as far back as Resident Evil 6, the company has kept up a streak of demos for the franchise, but it seems Requiem might be breaking the combo. Speaking during an interview with Stevivor, producer Masato Kumazaw

Square Enix's excellent release Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles has received a new game update this week, bumping it up to Version 1.4.0. This update includes "various improvements" which should enhance the overall experience. There are some fixes (including addressing an issue that prevented the Akademy report "Master of All Trades" from being completed), character name fixes, adjustments, and much more. Below are the official patch notes via the game's Steam page: Final Fantasy T
