Title: All The Records GTA 6 Will Break, We Think Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 20:27:22 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-the-records-gta-6-will-break-we-think/ After years of development and perhaps more hype than for any game, GTA 6 is set for release on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Predicting that it will be an enormous success commercially is perhaps one of the safest bets anyone could make. But just how big will the launch be? And what records could GTA 6 beat if it delivers? Lucia and Jason in GTA 6. The records The last GTA game, 2013's GTA 5, was a huge hit right out of the gate. It brought in $800 million in revenue over its first 24 hours and $1 billion in its first three days. Even a decade later, the game remains a sales juggernaut, eclipsing 230 million copies sold and counting. Rockstar's latest game, 2018's Red Dead Redemption II, launched with $725 million in revenue over its opening weekend. It's gone on to sell more than 87 million copies, making it one of the top five best-selling games ever. Outside of Rockstar, Bethesda's 2015 RPG Fallout 4 had a gigantic launch, shipping 12 million copies for launch day alone, generating sales in excess of $750 million. So to sum up, here are the records that GTA 6 is expected to surpass: GTA 5: $800 million in 24 hours and $1 billion in three days Red Dead Redemption II: $725 million over its first weekend Fallout 4: $750 million on launch day GTA 6 has enormous shoes to fill to match and surpass Rockstar's previous games and Fallout 4. But if Sensor Tower's data that projects 25 million preorders by launch is correct--or even close--then it should have no problem beating GTA 5's initial sales. One thing working in GTA 6's favor when it comes to comparisons to past games is that GTA 6 has a higher selling price. The base game goes for $80, compared to the $60 that GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption II launched at years ago. Of course, $60 in 2013 dollars equates to about $85 today when factoring in inflation. But even inflation-adjusted figures would likely show that GTA 6 has a bigger launch, if it becomes the hit everyone expects it to. And when Take-Two inevitably shares GTA 6 sales data, you can bet the company will present the data is the absolute best possible light, whatever language and specifics it takes to get there. The numbers so far Officially, neither Rockstar nor parent company Take-Two have shared any numbers at all about preorders or sales projections since preorders opened in June. Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick said it would not be prudent to disclose preorder figures because they could be misleading. His argument was that, technically speaking, GTA 6 has not sold a single copy yet, as, in theory, every preordered copy of the game could be returned. That's silly, of course; it sounds more like Zelnick is staying true to his mantra of never declaring success before it occurs. Whatever the case, Zelnick said GTA 6 preorders "vastly" surpassed international expectations, but he did not say what those expectations were or "whether they mean anything" anyway. Zelnick said sharing real, raw data for GTA 6 preorders could mislead investors, so Take-Two is not going to do so. “I’ve reminded people that we simply don’t know the demand curve because it’s just never happened before,” Zelnick said. “Given that, we think the raw numbers could potentially be misleading in a direction we wouldn’t feel good about.” Speaking during Take-Two’s latest earnings call, Zelnick said of GTA 6’s preorder numbers, “No one’s ever seen anything like this before at Take-Two, or in the industry.” He added: “To be clear, we haven’t sold one unit yet. You can cancel a preorder.” $2 billion by launch? The research firm Sensor Tower has a "GTA 6 Sales Tracker" site that shows estimates for GTA 6 preorders, displaying 6.08 million through October 13, and that apparently includes any returned/refunded copies. The group estimates that this works out to $594 million in revenue so far, with a split of 74% for PlayStation 5 and 26% for Xbox Series X|S. Sensor Tower's Karl Kontus said in an interview that reorders for GTA 6 could be in the area of 25 million when the game releases, which would amount to “unprecedented preorder performance.” At 25 million, that would work out to about $2 billion in revenue, which would cover the game's development budget and the majority of the marketing spend, he said. Kontus went on to say that he expects the majority of GTA 6 preorders to come in the last week or so before launch, as the hype peaks. Currently, the preorder split is skewing toward the $100 edition, Sensor Tower said, but that makes sense since people who preorder early are probably more on the enthusiast side. At launch, Sensor Tower said it expects about a 50/50 split between the $80 and $100 editions for preorder numbers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klc0fQmAL6k Launch is only the beginning GTA 6 is being marketed as a single-player experience that will be available on console exclusively. That may be true for now, but everyone expects Rockstar to release the next evolution of GTA Online for GTA 6, and eventually bring the game to PC. A recent report said the PC edition could launch sooner than expected. The investment company Jeffries released a note recently that says Take-Two's stock is currently trading at a discount at about $200/share today, October 16, and could jump to $300/share. The company is bullish on Take-Two not just because GTA 6 is expected to be a huge hit, but also because the next version of GTA Online will represent another revenue vector, and the expected PC edition will create another selling cycle. A scene from GTA 6. These are not wild predictions. After all, GTA Online, to this day, continues to bring in steady revenue for Take-Two through its various microtransactions and the GTA+ subscription service. It's only reasonable to assume Rockstar would further flesh out GTA Online for GTA 6 and create even more ways for people to spend time (and money) in the world. As for the PC edition, it makes a lot of sense that it would drive people to pick up the game there if that's their preferred platform, and they could be double-dippers, further enriching Take-Two in the process. A different console market GTA 5 launched at the very tail end of the PS3 and Xbox 360 console lifecycles, which created a unique situation that no doubt increased the game's sales potential. Those consoles combined for an install base of more than 150 million units, so Rockstar had an enormous market to sell into. And as stated above, it sold fantastically in this environment. Rockstar launched the game for those platforms, but then also brought it to PS4 and Xbox One, and then to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in the years that followed, with new improvements along the way. People didn't need to pay again, as free upgrades were offered in some situations, but it can be safely assumed many people double-dipped. GTA 6 is launching in a very different world for the console market, as the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are today more expensive than ever due to tariffs, the AI-fueled demand for memory and components, the war in Iran, and various other global macroeconomic factors driving up prices. The PS5 has sold more than 95 million units, and it's estimated that Xbox Series X|S is about a third of that, so there are probably more than 120 million combined units out there. What about the long run? If GTA 6 does outperform GTA 5 at launch, that doesn't necessarily it will be able to catch up to GTA 5 over the long haul. GTA 5 has sold more than 230 million copies, and it benefitted from the unique setup mentioned above. The game also debuted prior to the live-service black hole that exists today, with games like Fortnite and Roblox sucking up time and money from the market. While there has been talk of the PS6 and Project Helix family of devices from Xbox, reports have suggested those platforms could be delayed due to the complexities and headaches related to the current environment mentioned above. Whenever the next PlayStation and Xbox consoles are available, though, it's a safe bet we'll see GTA 6 ported to them at some point. As for the massive market that is the Switch 2, GTA 6 has not been announced for Nintendo's platform. It may not be ruled out, however, as Rockstar reportedly conducted tests for this--but that's all they could be. Nintendo of America's president told fans to ask Rockstar about GTA 6 for Switch 2. Another issue at play for GTA 6 is that console generations are much longer than before, due to the market factors described above. So while Rockstar was able to migrate GTA 5 to new platforms every couple of years, and reap the benefits, that could be a more challenging proposition going forward. Despite these possible headwinds, I am betting that the next evolution of GTA Online is a bonafide juggernaut that will outshine the main game in the fullness of time. For one, I expect Rockstar to heavily lean into user-generated content and provide a generally bigger and deeper world for GTA Online that gives players more things to do and more reasons to stay. In turn, this could create more opportunities for Rockstar to monetize and create its own kind of metaverse. Here's to hoping Rockstar divulges the goods on GTA Online 2.0 soon. GTA 6 is a must-have game for many people, but for those people on the fence who don't already own a console or want a new one, putting up $600 for a base PS5 or $500 for a Series S might lead to serious sticker shock. Keep checking back with GameSpot for more on GTA 6 in the days and weeks ahead.

Title: You Can Play WoW: Forever For Free Next Week (But There’s A Catch) Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 18:45:44 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/you-can-play-wow-forever-for-free-next-week-but-theres-a-catch/ World of Warcraft: Forever's beta will be free for a limited time next week, giving players who want to check out the new version of Blizzard's old-school MMORPG but don't want to pay $60 for beta access a chance to see what all the hype is about.  Blizzard announced a WoW: Forever stress test will begin October 19 at 2 PM PT/ 5 PM ET, with no WoW subscription or beta access needed to play. The goal is to put the game's servers through their paces ahead of launch. "This is a highly valuable event, since you'll participate in our discovering of issues that would have otherwise happened on launch day," Blizzard said in a post announcing the stress test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvueCoFTkCk&t To install the test, players will need the Battle.net launcher installed and an account. After selecting WoW: Forever from the list of games, players can select to install the stress test under the "Game Version" drop-down menu. There is, however, a catch. The stress test will only run for a "few hours," according to Blizzard. Exactly how long the test will last is still unclear. Blizzard said the test window "may end earlier or run later as needed." During the time that the stress test is live, the game's closed beta will be offline, but will return following the conclusion of the test. All characters made during the stress test will be deleted once the test is over. It's not much, but for those who wanted to at least dabble in WoW: Forever without having to buy the $60 Skyborne Epic Pack for a beta code, the stress test will at least let curious players dip their toes in. Even the beta itself won't be around for much longer. It will run until October 21, after which it will shut down and characters will be deleted to make way for early name reservations for the full game on October 27. WoW: Forever launches the following week on November 4.  All indicators so far point towards WoW: Forever's beta being a massive success. Multiple Blizzard developers have commented on how the game's popularity has already broken records, signaling launch could be huge. The beta hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows, however. Multiple controversies have riled up the WoW community over the course of the beta, revealing WoW: Forever has a streamer problem. Illicit gold-buying scandals in the beta have pushed Blizzard to crack down on the practice harder than ever before (going so far as to add new in-game restrictions and warnings). Meanwhile, one controversial streamer is looking to create the biggest WoW guild ever seen and dominate the game's sole PvP server, much to the annoyance of regular players. In a recent interview with GameSpot, Blizzard shared more details about WoW: Forever's future, and how it's trying to "push the envelope" on what players expect.

Title: This Espresso Machine Can Run Doom Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 18:28:36 +0000 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-espresso-machine-can-run-doom/ Before caffeinating yourself in the morning, the Fellow Espresso Series 1 machine can actually run 1993's Doom on its small, circular screen. Reddit user FullExtraction showed off the classic FPS, utilizing the brew button to run and steam button to shoot. The scroll wheel on the device turns Doomguy either left or right.  There's also a wider-angle video of Doom working on the espresso machine, via custom firmware. The game looks pretty smooth in the snippet, showcasing a solid frame rate. Out of the box, that circular screen provides a user interface to choose what drink you're making--such as an americano, cappuccino, or even a straight shot of espresso. It will provide text directions as well as a timer for extraction, too. Or, apparently, you can blast some demons.  https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/1x79c1q/yes_itrunsdoom_fellowes1/?solution=8902c77b28c56b408902c77b28c56b40&js_challenge=1&jsc_token=2824be10929bdc604753c70a67a1c33158037e61e2abdf23ade535fe55d21d18&jsc_orig_r=&share_id=ui9ELfiTwjxjO8TqG2sE1&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1 This espresso machine joins a long, long list of devices, games, and even potatoes that can run Doom. For instance, we saw how an Anker smart-charging station could play the game without any hardware modifications last year.  Then, there's someone that modified a freakin' pregnancy test and got the FPS working on it. Last but not least, one of the biggest video games in Fortnite can run Doom, too.  Doom: The Dark Ages is the latest entry in the storied shooter series, arriving in May 2025. Earlier this year, the game got an expansion called Revelations. However, shortly afterward, developer id Software was hit with mass layoffs. That obviously could affect future plans for the studio, which reportedly was working on a co-op Doom experience as well as a Perfect Dark project.

Title: Resident Evil 2 on Switch 2 Is My New Favorite Way to Play Capcom's Horror Masterpiece Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 21:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/resident-evil-2-switch-2-impressions/ I've tried playing Resident Evil 2 remake many times over the years and have never quite managed to finish the thing. It's good — very good — and I enjoy it. But there's just something about its narrow corridors and the threat of an undead monster popping out of a locker that keeps me from coming back to it. I've been playing Capcom's Switch 2 port of it lately, though, and I might finally make it to the end this time. The port is exquisite, and horrors on an 8-inch screen are much easier for my nerves to handle than big-screen frights.

Title: 9 Most Perfect Single-Player Zelda Clones Nobody Plays, Ranked Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 21:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/best-zelda-likes-nobody-plays-ranked/ Every Zelda dungeon runs on the same promise: find a tool, open a door, find a better tool. A whole genre of games borrows that loop without Hyrule’s precise theme music, and every few years one of them, like Tunic or Death’s Door, breaks out and lands on everyone’s recommendation list. This list is for the games that usually don’t make the cut.

Title: 10 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max (October 16-18) Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 21:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/new-movies-streaming-this-weekend-netflix-october-16-18/ Happy weekend! There’s something for everyone at the movies this week, from genre fare like Street Fighter and Whalefall to corset romance, with the new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. But if you don’t want to leave home, there’s also plenty to watch, from VOD to streaming.

Title: 8 New TV Shows to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Disney, and Hulu (October 16-18) Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 20:00:18 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/new-tv-shows-streaming-this-weekend-netflix-october-16-18/ Happy weekend! It’s a good time to be a TV fan. Over the past weeks, Mike Flanagan's Carrieremix and an anime based on an Anthony Bourdain manga have made their long-awaited debuts, offering something that suits everyone's interests. Avatar is also back, inspiring numerous Polygon articles about Seven Havens and what the new series means for the franchise's future — and past.

Title: Every DC Studios Movie and TV Show in Coming Through 2028 (and Beyond) Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 18:52:16 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/dc-movies-tv-shows-dcu-release-calendar-james-gunn/ There are still some lingering projects left over from the pre-Gunn era of the DCU, including a new Matt Reeves-led Batman movie and the fate of Peacemaker, the series starring John Cena that spanned two eras of DC film and television — and left fans contending with a major cliffhanger.

Title: Rally Up: ‘Gears of War: E-Day’ Launches on GeForce NOW Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 13:00:46 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-gears-of-war-e-day/ Gears of War: E-Day leads the charge on GeForce NOW this week, bringing Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago’s first fight against the Locust Horde to the cloud with GeForce RTX-powered performance.

Ultimate members can take on the Horde with GeForce RTX 5080-class performance in the cloud, plus technologies including NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex.

Title: Peak climbs its way onto PS5 October 22 Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 17:00:08 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/10/15/peak-climbs-its-way-onto-ps5-october-22/ Hello Scouts! Team Peak is happy to announce that our climbing game Peak is launching on PlayStation 5 October 22. Peak is a collaboration between two studios, Aggro Crab and Landfall, together, we make Team Peak. Aggro Crab is an American studio based in Seattle, Washington, known for their games Another Crab’s Treasure and Going Under. Landfall is a Swedish studio based in Stockholm, known for games like Content Warning, Haste, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Stick Fight: The Game, and many more. Both studios became friends after meeting at a game developer conference in 2022, instantly kicking it off. After the success of Another Crab’s Treasure and Content Warning, the teams thought that it could be cool to collaborate on a small project together. Game jam in South Korea To celebrate our friendship, we initially made the game as a one-month game jam in Seoul, South Korea in February of 2025. Three Aggro Crab devs and four Landfall devs locked themselves in a rented apartment, fueled by Korean BBQ and coffee to make something fun together. A game jam is a timed event where individuals or teams create a game from scratch within a strict deadline, often following a secret or shared theme. Initially, the theme for the game had been discussed by the devs while sitting in a hot tub in Sweden, a couple of months before heading to South Korea for the jam. The result was Peak, a co-op climbing game where the slightest mistake can spell your doom. You play solo or as a group of lost nature scouts, with your only hope of rescue from a mysterious island being to scale the mountain at its centre. The key is to stick together, help each other out, and to find the best way to the top before hunger, hazards, or the fog gets you. After the game jam the team went home to their respective countries, with Landfall finishing up our game Haste, and Aggro Crab working on Peak and some other projects. We then all met back up in Sweden in June to finish the game together – and to celebrate the Swedish tradition of Midsummer. Friendship & crossplay Peak is a game based on friendship, both in its development and gameplay. In the game, there’s an important rule: Never abandon a friend in need. Therefore, we’re excited that with the launch on PS5 we’ve also made it possible for crossplay so that you can climb with up to three friends no matter what platform they use. Climb to the Peak The Mountain Takes no Prisoners! Climb through 4 biomes on your way to the Peak, each with its own life-threatening obstacles. You’ll need to scavenge for questionable food to survive and manage your injuries carefully – every setback limits your stamina, making it harder to climb. Survive together We have a bunch of different hazards that you will encounter in the different biomes, everything from tornadoes to poison clouds, birds, and zombies. If any of those things scare you, you can also customise your run, making it easier or harder depending on what your scout troop feels like. Play Peak on PlayStation 5 We’re really excited for PlayStation players to join the climb. The PlayStation 5 version includes all content updates, biomes, and new items the game has received since initial launch – and yes, that includes being able to physically kick your friends using custom runs if you want to be evil. So get your troop together for Peak on PlayStation 5 October 22. View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image

Its teardrop-shaped cockpit is embedded within a body sculpted with cutouts and air ducts, forming aerodynamic channels throughout the vehicle. The signature halo-shaped taillight serves as both a visual icon and a massive air outlet.  Together with innovations like the Active Wake Control System and Accretion Rims, the car achieves a drag coefficient of 0.29, downforce of -1.2, and an aerodynamic efficiency rating of 4.1 through iterative simulated testing, reaching new heights in balancing low drag and high downforce for electric hypercars.  “Electric hypercars must answer a fundamental question,” said Tianyuan Li, Design Head of Xiaomi Auto. “Do we pursue extreme low drag for straight-line speed, or maximum downforce to conquer corners? The optimal solution lies in finding the perfect balance between the two.” This approach impressed Gran Turismo Series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi. “When I saw that Xiaomi had resolved the contradiction between low drag and high downforce, I was truly amazed.”   Try this in GT7: Take it to the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the Vision Gran Turismo Trophy event and see how its futuristic design translates to one of racing’s most historic circuits.    Ferrari F355 Berlinetta ’94  Can be purchased from Used Cars   View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image Ferrari, the brand of the Prancing Horse, based in Maranello, Italy, has raised cars to the realm of art, pouring technology and passion built in racing into its production cars.

Title: Nonolith traps you in a living maze and challenges you to find hidden terrain magic using good old copy-paste Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 17:44:15 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/nonolith-traps-you-in-a-living-maze-and-challenges-you-to-find-hidden-terrain-magic-using-good-old-copy-paste After enjoying Echo Weaver last week, I'm in the market for games that gaze with utmost scorn upon the concept of unlockable abilities, smugly declaring that everything you need to complete them is available to you from the word go.

Title: We have reached a new threshold in genAI gloom, with a game dev cancelling a demo for fear of copycats ripping them off before release Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:50:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/we-have-reached-a-new-threshold-in-genai-gloom-with-a-game-dev-cancelling-a-demo-for-fear-of-copycats-ripping-them-off-before-release In what I suspect is the start of a trend, assuming it isn't one already, the creators of Drunken Goddess Reflux have yanked a planned public demo partly because they're concerned about people using generative AI to clone their game and release a copy before they even launch.

Title: "We were wrong": Wardogs devs end Season 2's team-specific cash and XP bonus experiment after a single, tumultuous day Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:30:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/we-were-wrong-wardogs-devs-end-season-2s-team-specific-cash-and-xp-bonus-experiment-after-a-single-tumultuous-day Season 2 of Wardogs, the multiplayer sandbox FPS currently blasting and/or politely driving its way through early access, introduced an un usual "social experiment" when it launched yesterday. In an attempt to rehabilitate the reputation of its Lonestar faction, a.k.a the infamous Blue Team, developers Bulkhead began granting bonus XP and cash – the latter being the upgrade-focused game’s lifeblood – to Blue players alone. The hypothesis, apparently, was that more skilled players would give Lonestar a chance, helping boost its dismal winrates and perhaps improve its tarnished image. One day in, then, how’s it going? “We were wrong. We fucked up,” says Bulkhead CEO Joe Brammer in a video announcing the bonus scheme’s immediate cancellation. Ah! Read more

Title: The Blood of Dawnwalker's update 1.1 adds a "forgiving" difficulty setting, but I think I'll find it hard to forgive its introduction of "directional animal petting" Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 16:21:53 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-blood-of-dawnwalkers-update-11-adds-a-forgiving-difficulty-setting-but-i-think-ill-find-it-hard-to-forgive-its-introduction-of-directional-animal-petting Quick! Hit left scratch ear! Hit down rub belly! Slap right bum pats! Annnnd you've died because you failed to parry a paw coming for you with the force of a vampire's claw. This is how I assume things will go if I boot up The Blood of Dawnwalker once its 1.1 update debuts. Devs Rebel Wolves, in their infinite wisdom, claim to be set to add in "directional animal petting" as part of it. Read more

Title: The creator of last year's cult hit RPG The Necromancer's Tale is back with The Lich Wars, a storybook RPG that follows 30 years of undead botheration Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:45:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-creator-of-last-years-cult-hit-rpg-the-necromancers-tale-is-back-with-the-lich-wars-a-storybook-rpg-that-follows-30-years-of-undead-botheration Psychic Software have announced The Lich Wars, a standalone prequel for their widely acclaimed RPG The Necromancer's Tale. Widely acclaimed by me, anyway. I'm pretty wide, these days – the local Morrisons keeps doing discounts on 80-biccy packets of bourbon creams. I liked The Necromancer's Tale specifically for how it wove a whole RPG around the narrative dynamics of a single RPG class, with players performing rituals in each chapter to develop their morbid spellcraft, while managing the suspicions of nearby townsfolk. I also really loved its choose-your-own-adventure prologue. The Lich Wars sort of spins the prologue out into a full game. Read more
