Here we go folks! Nintendo has just officially announced the long-awaited, highly-anticipated Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Nintendo Direct, and a second more traditional Direct show the very next day. This is huuuuge! 

Nintendo’s big Switch 2 release of the year, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, has been officially revealed, but very little is known about it. Nintendo did mistakenly drop a brief description, and it has told us it is coming this year, but what is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake release date? How much is it going to cost? And what sort of remake are we going to get?

Joining the ongoing Labor Day sales at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, as well as the giant list of discounted PS5 and Switch game deals we have below, we are circling back to the Woot Summer of Gaming Sale today. While there are some titles for less elsewhere, the Woot sale has a few key Switch 2 games at the lowest prices around right now:

The giant Labor Day sales at Amazon and Best Buy roll on with a massive collection of game deals. We are just about to go live for this morning’s State of Play, but we wanted to touch down with the ongoing game deals live this week. Kirby Air Riders has dropped down even lower now and Amazon is offering Pokémon Legends: Z-A Nintendo Switch 2 Edition down at $56.99 from the regular $70. But we also wanted to highlight Best Buy’s rare deal on Mario Tennis Fever for Nintendo Switch 2 down at $57 shipped. This one carries a $70 list and is still selling at full price via Amazon where it has only dropped in price once (it is now within $7 of the Amazon all-time low). Head below for loads more.

We are taking a short break this morning from this week’s massive Labor Day sales at Amazon and Best Buy to dive into the September State of Play. While we are still awaiting news on the potential Nintendo Direct, Sony is going live this morning at 9 a.m. ET for what sounds like a lengthy double feature State of Play event. 

September is here and that means we are in for loads of new tech reveals, the latest from Apple, and, presumably, the next Nintendo Direct. And with fans eagerly awaiting news on the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake, I’m not sure anticipation for the September Nintendo Direct could be any higher. 

Nintendo launched its next-generation console with brand new Mario Kart experience, but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains one of the highest-selling Nintendo games of all-time and it just got a FREE Switch 2 update. 

Alongside the now live Labor Day sales a Best Buy and Amazon, we are also getting some new Nintendo action as well. While we are still awaiting official news on the expected September Nintendo Direct, the latest additions to the Switch Online library have been announced with three new classics for the NES library. 

We are taking a quick timeout from the ongoing Amazon Labor Day sale today to make sure everyone heard the news – Sony just announced the next State of Play games showcase…two of them, in fact. 

Okay this is folks. After 13 years of waiting, what feels like countless delays (two if I remember correctly), and a gazillion dollars in profit on GTA Online later, Rockstar is set to take the virtual stage on Netflix of all places to finally show us Grand Theft Auto VI. 

As we recently detailed, the new XBOX Series X25 limited edition console is going up for pre-order today at Amazon and other major retailers. The leaked price and release date were largely on point and we should start seeing pre-order listings going live shortly – they are scheduled to go up at 7:00 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET.  

***Note: We will update these links/this post as listings go live.

XBOX Series X25 limited edition console $899 | Amazon

XBOX Series X25 limited edition console $899 | Walmart

XBOX Series X25 limited edition console $899 | Best Buy

XBOX X25 Special Edition controller $80 | Best Buy

The biggest gameplay reveal in, quite possibly, history is set to go live this afternoon and Grand Theft Auto VI takes over Netflix in a first-of-its-kind partnership (i.e Netflix paid a boat load to get 6-hour exclusivity for the GTA VI reveal that will be all over the internet the second it goes live). We know all this already, but Rockstar has delivered some details on how folks are allowed to stream this thing and Netflix just published a new article on today’s main event. 

• Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Amazon on PS5 and Xbox.

Today is the day folks – official Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay will go live at 12:00 p.m. PT/3:00 a.m. ET. Netflix has secured (likely paid a fortune) to secure exclusive streaming rights this afternoon for the Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Look before it goes live and FREE for everyone on YouTube later this evening. 

The big announcement from 2-hour Opening Night Live at gamescom came in the form of the first proper trailer for the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past expansion, but CDPR also surprised everyone with the reveal of the The Witcher 3 Remastered. It is set to release as a FREE upgrade to those own the game already. 

Now just over 24 hours away from the official Grand Theft Auto VI Extended Look, and a week of unfortunate leaks by extortionists trying to ruin the game for everyone else, Rockstar has finally issued an official statement on the matter. 

Straight from Opening Night Live at gamescom 2026 in Germany, we now have our very first look at the upcoming Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past expansion. And CD Projekt RED just revealed The Witcher 3: Remastered – it releases on September 29 as a FREE upgrade for existing owners.

It’s that time of year and the biggest games fest on the calendar is set to get underway today with gamescom Opening Night Live. Geoff Keighley is ready to take the stage today to kick off a week’s worth of exclusive new trailers and gameplay from some of the biggest upcoming releases, and the prime time showcase starts at 1:30 p.m. ET. 

The official Nintendo Switch 2 price hike is set to go live in just over a week’s time, and Nintendo has just officially unveiled a pair of new console bundles with the increased sticker. If you’re looking to land a Switch 2 this year, you’ll want to buy one now before the price goes up folks. 

The countdown is on folks – we are just days away from the first look at Grand Theft Auto VI. Well, at least the first official, proper look anyway – if I were you I would stay as far away from any of those horrible low-res leaks as it appears though some huge spoilers from the game could land online any time. 

I urge folks to stay away from these leaks, don’t support these hackers, don’t ruin your own experience, and don’t share them in case you ruin someone else’s.. 

Well, we already knew Take-Two was actively taking legal action against folks leaking the biggest thing in gaming over the last few days, but, based on the latest reports, it has now officially filed several subpoenas with the Southern District Court of New York to secure user data to hunt down the leakers.

Microsoft officially revealed the upcoming and particularly sweet-looking XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition console and controller a couple months ago as part of its giant summer showcase. At the time, Xbox said it would share the price and release date later, but it looks like both have now leaked online. 

Black Myth: Wukong turned out to be even better than it looked ahead of release, and Game Science is already hard at work on its follow-up, Black Myth: Zhong Kui. The sequel of sorts was officially revealed on-stage with Geoff Keighley during Opening Night Live from gamescom 2025, but the anticipated sequel has gone mostly quiet since…until now. 

The Grand Theft Auto VI leaks continue – a fifth video has been released by the cyber extortionist responsible for the first four, and this time it looks like they might actually have a playable build of the game. 

Update: It looks like another gameplay video just leaked again from the same source – again, we can’t confirm if any of this is real (more details below). 

Rockstar will finally show us Grand Theft Auto VI in detail next week, but a series of actual gameplay leaks have seemingly hit the internet already as we reported yesterday. Since then an alleged look at the actual map has landed online, and a series of other gameplay clips of various locations are flooding the internet right now. 

The next PlayStation State of Play is live today. This time around we are getting a dedicated showcase featuring the upcoming Phantom Blade Zero and you can follow along with us down below. 

We got our first proper look at Kingdom Hearts 4 back during the big Nintendo Direct summer showcase this year. Fans had been waiting years to actually see the game in action and now, as part of the Disney Entertainment Showcase, a new Kingdom Hearts 4 | D23 2026 Showcase Trailer has arrived, alongside the release window, and the announcement of a new Disney+ series.
