Although Capcom has remained tightlipped on the prospect of Leon Kennedy cropping up in the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, a good number of fans are adamant that the veteran character will indeed appear. However, a new listing over on GameStop drops some new information regarding the Deluxe Edition of the game which, if accurate, seems to hint at a completely different playable character: Rosemary Winters (thanks, IGN). Rose Winters is, if you remember, the protagonist in the Shadows of Rose DL

There aren't many surviving video game magazines today, but miraculously, some new ones pop up every so often, and they've evolved into seriously premium products. One such example is A Profound Waste of Time, a gaming journal crowdfunded by readers, and its sixth issue is currently accepting pledges on Kickstarter. This one may be of particular interest to PlayStation fans, as the leading feature in the new issue hones in on Astro Bot. A big interview with Nicolas Doucet is the main attraction,

Update [Sun 23rd Nov 2025, 5am]: Gear.Club Unlimited 3 was meant to be racing onto the Switch 2 in 2025, but it's reportedly been delayed. Sim racing website Traxion has reached out to Nacon after noticing several retailer listings for the Switch 2 version were scheduled for early next year and has been informed "a release date has not yet been set". If there is an official announcement about this or any other updates before the end of the year, we'll let you know. Original Story: [Fri 22nd Aug

Ghost of Yotei's latest update — patch 1.1 — has resulted in some pretty significant performance boosts. Analysed by our friends over at Digital Foundry, the update's introduction of VRR support is a win for all players, but it's an especially big deal on PS5 Pro. Just to recap, version 1.1 was headlined by the addition of New Game+ when it launched last week, but developer Sucker Punch also snuck in some juicy new graphical settings. A new 'Balanced' mode targets 40 frames-per-second, but reall

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

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

Michael, one of the three main characters from the single player story in GTA 5, will return to the GTA Online part of the experience next week in a free update. You can get a bit of visual context in the trailer above. Across a new series of missions featuring the protagonist, you shall work towards earning your very own mansion.

The wait for the most anticipated video game of all time just got a little longer. While fans have been scouring the internet for every scrap of information regarding Grand Theft Auto 6, recent reports indicate a significant shift in the release timeline, along with intriguing new details about what the next generation of GTA Online might look like. Release Date Pushback to late 2026 According to recent updates, Rockstar Games has delayed the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 to November 19, 2026. T

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

Twelve years after its initial launch, Rockstar Games is offering a free trial for Grand Theft Auto Online on current-gen consoles. For a limited time, players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can jump into GTA Online without needing an active PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass subscription. The free trial period was officially confirmed by Rockstar and is set to run from November 11th through November 17th. The move was first spotted by community members who noticed the subscription require

Running from November 13th through November 19th, this event week introduces the first in-game teasers for next month's major DLC update, along with a host of bonuses for executives and VIPs. Mansions Are Finally Coming Rockstar Games has officially begun teasing the next major DLC, which will focus on high-end luxury properties. Construction crews h

Just days after Rockstar Games announced the disappointing delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 into late 2026, there's a silver lining for PlayStation fans. According to a new, reliable report, Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online are set to make their return to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog this month. This news comes from the well-known and highly accurate leaker "billbil-kun" of Dealabs, who has a near-perfect track record for revealing PS Plus lineups ahead of their official announcement. Here’s wh

The next GTA+ event month is here, and it's a big one for aspiring high-rollers.

Guilty Gear -Strive- Nintendo Switch Edition arrived earlier this year in January, but fans on the hybrid platform were left behind when the new DLC and other updates never showed up. Now, alongside an apology about missing the previous window, Arc System Works has confirmed the Season 4 "DLC characters" and "implementation of ranked matches" will be arriving in the Switch version of the game on 18th December 2025. As a reminder, these characters include Venom, Unika and Lucy from the anime Cybe

After what felt like an age of early access waiting, Hades II finally arrived as a console exclusive on Switch and Switch 2 back in September. Two months on, and that Switch 2 release has scored a physical edition — what's more, it's a beauty. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the new box today, and feast our eyes on all of the goodies within (a download code to a digital soundtrack, a 'Character Compendium' booklet, and the full game complete on cart). The nicest surprise of all, however

Halo: The Master Chief Collection has been a pretty steady Steam performer since it was introduced to the platform back in 2019; especially over the last three or four years where it regularly hits about 10k concurrent players at peak times. Over this past weekend though, the collection peaked a little higher than usual; hitting a Steam player count not seen since late 2021. Yep, over the weekend, Halo: MCC surpassed 12k players on Steam for the first time since December 2021. To be specific, th

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

We might have to wait a little while longer than expected until we can see Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition in its full glory on Switch 2, but the title is still popping up at games expos around the world, giving us plenty of opportunities to see it in action. The latest slice of hands-on time came from the Milan Games Week 2025, where 'Corey Da Flame' captured the over-the-shoulder footage found above (thanks, Nintenderos). It's the same opening section that we have seen played on Switch 2 a coupl

What's leaving Xbox Game Pass in January 2026? Well, Microsoft hasn't confirmed anything just yet, but based on some games that were added to the service this time last year, we can at least make a few predictions ahead of time. We know that a lot of Xbox users want more advance notice of games leaving Xbox Game Pass, but Microsoft usually gives us around two weeks right now - and don't forget, publishers sometimes secure late deals with Microsoft to keep their games on Game Pass, even after the

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

The Xbox November 2025 update is now being highlighted by the folks over at Xbox Wire, and as usual with these updates in recent months, it's not really very console-focused - the updates encompass everything nowadays. With that in mind, we've got some cloud upgrades including the ability to choose your stream resolution, the arrival of Copilot on mobile, the ROG Xbox Ally's full-screen experience crossing over to standard Windows 11 PCs, and more. Let's take a look at what Xbox is highlighting

It's been particularly pleasing to see Capcom and Marvel hook up again in recent years, as I was a massive fan of the many superb one-on-one fighters the pair collaborated on in the '90s. So much so that any little piece of trivia relating to these games is like catnip to me – so I must thank the always-excellent vgdensetsu for unearthing this fact about Marvel vs. Capcom, one of my personal favourites. I always wondered why Capcom decided to replace Iron Man (who was present in Marvel Super Her

Hitoshi Sakimoto has been composing music for video games for 40 years, and his remarkable contribution to the medium is being marked with a unique concert in London next year. "The Colors of Harmony will be the 40th anniversary of Hitoshi Sakimoto‘s work on soundtracks which brought to life many enchanting worlds created by legendary Japanese studios Vanillaware and Square Enix," says GameMusic.net, the company behind the event. "The composer will join us in person for this special evening, acc
