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?

Not only does Sony think Grand Theft Auto VI plays better on PS5, but it has also secured the rights to release a pair of exclusive GTA VI DualSense controllers as well – check them out below. 

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.

Super Mario Sunshine is now live on Switch 2. Load up your Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device and head back to Isle Delfino – Super Mario Sunshine is now available on the GameCube Nintendo Classics library. 

Aside from the actual release date for the upcoming Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake, and the Direct giving us a proper look at it, Nintendo’s rumored upcoming Zelda Switch 2 special edition console and the Pro controller are the hottest Hylian thing going right now, and it looks like the very first images might have just leaked online. 

Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to give us our very first look at the new Marvel’s Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console bundle and accessories. 

The Switch 2 leaks aren’t done just yet (and probably never will be) and Diablo VI for Switch 2 is up next. It’s not the Ocarina of Time release date, but we have it on good authority the long-awaited Diablo IV Switch 2 release is all but imminent and now more than likely just over a month away. 

The new Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass expansion and the new FREE content update for folks who already own the game are going live today. The previously announced content updates for the Pokémon experience are finally ready for prime time alongside this morning’s Switch 2 console discounts ahead of the upcoming price hike. 

It is Nintendo Direct day folks. While it’s not the big September showcase or the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake blowout we are all waiting, this morning Nintendo is set to go live with dedicated 20-minute broadcast on next month’s big Switch 2 release. 

Two of the biggest launches in recent memory might very well be landing in the same month this year – GTA VI and The end of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Grand Theft Auto VI will land on November 19, this we know for sure, but it looks like there now might be good reason to believe Nintendo could go toe-to-toe with the Rockstar behemoth. 

Update 8/3: We knew it wasn’t going to last forever, but Nintendo is now informing folks that the Choose your Game Switch 2 bundle is “‘ENDING SOON’ and quite possibly right before the price hike goes like in September of this year.

There’s only one month left before Nintendo Switch 2 consoles get even more expensive. You could hope to get lucky and land one of those very short-lived discounts we caught at Amazon a couple weeks ago, or you could jump on one of the discounts now while you still can.

Nintendo just officially announced the next Nintendo Direct. Don’t get too excited – it’s not the Ocarina of Time show you’re likely waiting on, but Fire Emblem fans are in for a dedicated show this week to get a better look at Fortune’s Weave ahead of release in mid September. 

Grand Theft Auto VI is coming, and quickly at that. Now less than 4 months away from your console, we are yet to see any gameplay for what might be the most anticipated game release in history, and the internet is anxiously waiting. It’s been over a year since we got a proper trailer, never mind gameplay, but, according to an insider with a very good track record, that will likely soon change, and it could be as soon as next week. 

PlayStation has officially announced that it will stop producing physical games discs, and some folks are not happy about it. And while this move isn’t expected to happen for over a year from now, almost all physical games on the official PlayStation Store are already out of stock. 

While we are still awaiting the official release date for Switch 2’s biggest release of the year – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, as well as an official launch for FromSoft’s The Duskbloods, it is time to take stock of the games confirmed to be landing on Switch in 2026. There is a long list of titles already locked down for 2026, from James Bond and brick-built Batman to the new Switch Sports Resort game, the Kingdom Hearts collection, and more. Let’s dive in. 

Last month Sony officially revealed the next installation in the God of War franchise and it has now officially announced the release date as well as some details on Kratos’ next appearance. 

Switch 2 gamers everywhere are soon to the field of Hyrule as Nintendo ramps up for the launch of what is widely expected to be its biggest holiday launch – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Rumors and leaks have been flying since well before Nintendo made the remake official, and that special edition Zelda Switch 2 console is surfacing again, but it might not be the Ocarina of Time model. 

While all of the latest PlayStation news has been surrounding Sony’s insistence on ridding its gaming ecosystem of disc-based gaming, despite waves of backlash, one title you will be able to score on disc is the new Marvel’s Wolverine game set for release later this year. And Sony just dropped a new “Story Trailer” to give us some insight into the narrative for Logan’s upcoming adventure. 

PlayStation sadly announced it will stop producing actual game discs come 2028 – folks are not happy about it – but you can to re-live the golden years of PlayStation forever with the new 2026 Hallmark PlayStation Console with Light and Sound ornament. It is now available for pre-order on Amazon alongside some of the new Nintendo and models, and more. 

Things have been rough over at Xbox lately with mass layoffs spanning some of its biggest studios, id Software, Bethesda, and Obsidian included. But it’s not all doom and gloom as Bethesda has just confirmed a number of new projects in the works, including an all-new Fallout game from Obsidian, as well as remasters for Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. 

This year’s big Switch 2 game release, at least for many folks, is the now confirmed The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. Nintendo has said it is coming this year, but it has yet to show us any gameplay or provide a release date. However, GameStop might have just leaked the pre-order date. 

One of this year’s big new PS5 releases will see Insomniac bring another one of Marvel’s biggest super heroes like never before as Marvel’s Wolverine is officially set for release this September. Pre-orders for the new game are now live, and Sony just unleashed one of the most epic trailers yet. 

The Zelda Ocarina of Time remake is set for release in 2026, but as we await a proper gameplay reveal and the actual release date, Hasbro and Nintendo have now officially announced a licensing partnership to debut a series of new toys and collectibles based on the beloved Zelda franchise. 

It appears as though Nintendo could be in the process of developing a new Switch 2 console with an OLED display, according to reports.
