NEW: Vice City is taking over the Miami Heat for one night.

“A Night in Vice City” is set for November 18 at Kaseya Center. The Heat will face the Milwaukee Bucks on a special court in a new uniform, with tip-off at 7 p.m. EST.

That puts the event one day before GTA VI’s planned November 19 launch. More game-night activities will be announced later.

Apparently a billboard was too small for this launch campaign.

NEW: Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s first reviews make a strong case for keeping both hands on the controls.

The PS5 version currently sits at 88 on Metacritic ahead of the October 6 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Reviewers praise its handling, sense of speed and campaign.

That campaign adds pressure to every race: too many crashes can end a tour, while some perks and unlocks carry into your next attempt. The restart is part of the challenge.

Our roundup looks at the praise, the criticisms and what sits behind that score.

NEW: Ghost of Yōtei’s DLC opening is getting a moment of its own.

SpawnYaard shared this clip from the intro, putting Sucker Punch’s cinematic presentation front and centre. Sometimes the entrance deserves as much attention as the fight.

The story expansion, Echoes of Sekigahara, explores Atsu’s past on the mainland and her time at the Battle of Sekigahara. It is included in the Complete Edition and its upgrade for existing owners.

Platform: PS5

NEW: Modern Warfare 4’s anti-cheat toolkit is getting another addition: Server Culling.

ModernWarzone shared this Call of Duty clip introducing the RICOCHET feature. It joins a wider anti-cheat effort that includes technical detection, account security and action against cheat sellers.

The announcement is encouraging. The real test will be what players experience once they load into a match. A cleaner lobby beats a convincing presentation every time.

NEW: KOJI10 is returning after a year away, and this time Kojima is bringing cameras.

Episode 36 premieres on YouTube on Monday, October 5 at 10 PM JST, with English subtitles. It will be the first video broadcast of the show’s 10 PM edition, alongside its return as a podcast.

A chance to hear from Hideo Kojima without having to decode a cryptic game teaser first.

NEW: A year of Atsu, told by the actor who helped bring her to life.

Erika Ishii joined PlayStation to reflect on Ghost of Yōtei’s first anniversary and returning for Echoes of Sekigahara. Playing the finished game helped Ishii step back into the role for the expansion.

Complete Edition is available now on PS5, bringing together the campaign, Legends multiplayer, Most Wanted and Echoes of Sekigahara.

The interview offers a look at the person behind the performance, and what it means to carry the Ghost torch.

NEW: Wolverine’s PC emulation clips are starting to look less like a slideshow.

Gamingskew reports that a test on an RTX 4070 Ti has moved from 7 FPS to around 20 FPS. The attached clip is a snapshot of that early progress, rather than a performance benchmark for the whole game.

There is still a big distance between getting a demanding PS5 game running and keeping it smooth through every fight. Promising progress, with plenty of work ahead.

The GTA VI predictions can wait until someone actually has that game to test.

NEW: One background extra is giving GTA VI fans another reason to hit replay.

GTAVI Countdown highlights an NPC casually adjusting her hair in this clip. It is a small action, but moments like this help a crowd feel like people going about their day.

We usually judge a trailer by its protagonists, cars and big set pieces. Here, someone at the edge of the scene is getting the attention.

Vice City’s supporting cast is apparently auditioning for the lead.

NEW: The Witcher 4 is carrying a lot of expectations into Ciri’s next chapter.

GermanStrands shared this clip while making the case for another standout adventure. That confidence is a fan’s verdict on what has been shown so far, not a review of the finished game.

CD Projekt’s official Unreal Engine showcase introduces the technology behind the new saga, with Ciri at its centre. The studio describes that demonstration as a look at the technical foundation, rather than final gameplay.

Following The Witcher 3 was never going to be a quiet assignment.

NEW: Ace Combat 8 is making the post-mission replay feel like part of the reward.

Jamie Moran shared this capture from Xbox Series X, describing it as Performance Mode footage. The cinematic camera gives the aircraft and skies room to show off after the fighting is over.

Bandai Namco confirms Wings of Theve uses Unreal Engine 5, with expansive cloudscapes and detailed environments. This is a player’s replay, so it is a showcase of one run rather than a comparison of every graphics mode.

Sometimes finishing the mission is only half the entertainment.

NEW: Bond’s Intel Shop has expanded in 007 First Light.

The free Extended Operations DLC adds two weapons and three outfits, giving players more choice over the equipment and appearance they bring to an assignment.

IO Interactive’s official clip highlights the additions, and the update is available now. Head to the Intel Shop to see the new options.

Even a secret agent has to spend a little time deciding what to wear.

NEW: Sony’s latest PS5 update is a maintenance release with a very short changelog.

Version 26.06-14.10.00 lists security fixes and improvements to system software performance and stability. Sony does not identify the individual security issues or announce new menu features.

The voice-chat speaker indicator and Community Activity widget belong to the previous update. This release’s notes do not promise a fix for a particular game.

Our article breaks down what changed and how to check your console’s version.

NEW: Modern Warfare 4’s DMZ World Builder trailer puts the spotlight on Hajin itself.

The exclusion zone is shaped by the campaign’s aftermath, with abandoned military technology, hostile forces and rival operators all competing for space. Exploration feeds into the risk of each deployment.

Call of Duty’s official breakdown describes replayable story missions, dynamic operations and changing weather. Rain and fog can alter visibility, while progress and inventory carry weight between runs.

A convincing world is a good start. The real stories will come from the squads trying to make it back out.

NEW: Red Dead Redemption 2’s most dangerous weapon might be a conversation.

NikTek shared this clip of the game’s greeting-and-antagonising routine: start with a little politeness, then immediately undo all the goodwill. The NPC dialogue does the rest.

It is the kind of small interaction that makes wandering around feel entertaining even when you have abandoned the actual mission.

A vast frontier, endless possibilities, and somehow we are spending the afternoon being rude to strangers.

NEW: Marvel’s Wolverine makes some fights feel like the room is losing alongside the enemies.

NIB shared this PS5 Pro footage to highlight environmental damage, detailed breakable props and debris flying through the action. It is a showcase of selected encounters, so it should not be read as a promise that every object in every area can be destroyed.

The extra motion gives Logan’s attacks more weight: a hit can leave a mark on the surroundings as well as the opponent.

Healing factor for Wolverine. An insurance claim for everyone else.

NEW: GTA VI’s central couple are chasing a surprisingly ordinary version of the American Dream.

Rockstar’s LOVE interview describes Lucia and Jason wanting a house, a family and an escape from debt. The story’s tension comes from the gap between those hopes and the lives they are living.

The feature also explores the research behind Leonida: trips through Miami and the Florida Keys, photographs, drone footage and conversations with people who live there. Those trips informed a fictional setting rather than promising a copy of every real location.

Our article looks at the characters and the work that helped shape their world.

NEW: Project COMET is back in the spotlight after an alleged Marvel gameplay trailer spread online.

Reports describe footage featuring Spider-Man, Wolverine, Black Widow and Doctor Strange, with superhero combat and squad-based action. Those descriptions remain reports rather than an official feature list.

The timeline matters too: discussion began months ago, and a Bilibili trailer post was already circulating in September. The latest coverage does not establish that every shot is new.

Our article separates what has been reported from the claims still awaiting confirmation, including PC support, cross-play, the launch date and monetisation.

NEW: Phantom Blade Zero’s boss showcase may be leaving plenty for players to discover.

GermanStrands says he has heard behind the scenes that the fights revealed so far represent only a small fraction of the most ambitious encounters. The post does not name a source, so that claim remains unconfirmed.

What is confirmed is the game’s emphasis on kung fu action. S-Game says Donnie Yen has contributed martial-arts and filmmaking expertise to its combat design since 2023.

The attached clip is a taste of that spectacle. Whether the unrevealed fights raise the bar is something the finished game will have to show.

NEW: Ace Combat 8’s replay mode gives the mission a different pace once the pressure is over.

Jamie Moran shared this capture from Xbox Series X in Performance Mode, describing his time with Wings of Theve as brilliant so far. That is his player impression, paired here with footage from his own run.

Bandai Namco’s official description puts dynamic, layered cloudscapes at the heart of its aerial presentation. Watching a replay is a chance to appreciate that scenery without dividing your attention between the horizon and the next threat.

The flying is your job. Enjoying the replay is the reward.

NEW: War Machine makes an entrance in this fan edit of the footage linked to Project COMET.

Let’s Talk War Machine added the music and voice lines. The creator credits Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 for the dialogue, so this is not a preview of the game’s official audio.

The COMET footage remains an alleged leak. For now, enjoy a few seconds of Rhodey looking ready to take over the scene.
