Update: Pre-orders are now live:

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

Amazon’s giant Prime Day sale might be in full swing right now, but Grand Theft Auto 6 goes up for pre-order tomorrow (or tonight at midnight rather). Rockstar has not only detailed the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition and the pre-order bonus, we now have the official price.

How much will Grand Theft Auto 6 cost? After years of waiting, a pair of high-profile delays, and a particularly cruel false start to pre-orders courtesy of Best Buy, it’s finally happening – Grand Theft Auto is officially going up for pre-order next week. And now everyone is wondering what the price of GTA 6 is going to be. 

This is not a drill, Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders will officially begin on June 25 as per an official Rockstar announcement. 

PlayStation’s adorable Astro Bot mascot not only took home game of the year previously, got his very own custom DualSense controllers, and headlined one of the more popular PS5 bundles over the last year or two, but he is also being brought to life in Funko Pop! form. 

GuliKit is landing today with its latest next-generation Switch 2 dock (also compatible with Switch 1). The new, ultra-affordable solution delivers one of the least pricey options out there with an ultra-compact, travel-friendly design, power passthrough action, 4K visuals, and some nifty ventilation cooling. 

Nintendo is now handing out a FREE month of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. While it might not be the new GameCube title announcement you’re waiting on, both new Switch Online members and existing subscriptions can take advantage of this offer. Details below. 

Last week Nintendo made it official – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is real, and it is releasing on Switch 2 in 2026. While very little is known about the upcoming release, folks did sleuth out an official description on the game from Nintendo that might give us a better idea of what we are in for. 

Nintendo is continuing to update its popular Switch 2 GameCube library and now that we have moved into 2026 it’s time to take an updated look at the lineup. 

Nintendo hosted its big summer Nintendo Direct presentation this week and it was…good. Not great, but good. I think the bevy of Nintendo leaks that have hit this year dulled the experience significantly for many folks, myself included, Nintendo stock has taken a bit of nose dive because of it, and more importantly, there’s more than a few gamers that walked away from the presentation far less excited than they should have been. So what’s next from Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time limited edition Switch 2 console? A proper influx of major Game Cube titles? Is there one more surprise 2026 game release? 

Here we go! It’s a big day for fans of the Mushroom Kingdom and Hylian heroes everywhere as Nintendo is set to livestream the big summer Nintendo Direct we have all been waiting for, and it all goes live this morning. 

Nintendo went live this morning with its big summer Direct, and even if all you were waiting for was a big Zelda reveal, it did not disappoint. While we still haven’t received the release date for the new Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake remake yet (it is coming this year though), Nintendo’s new Star Fox game is definitely releasing in a just couple weeks now, and you can try it for FREE on Switch 2 starting right now. 

Nintendo just wrapped up its big summer Nintendo Direct and just as we hoped, it capped the show off with the official reveal of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. 

Nintendo has now officially confirmed the leaked June Nintendo Direct and it goes live tomorrow. Does this mean the rest of the game leaks and rumors are also going to come true? Some of them already have and tomorrow could be the big one. 

After waiting, more or less, a full year for Nintendo to host a major Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, the day has finally arrived. Yesterday Nintendo made it official – it is hosting a full-on 2026 summer Nintendo Direct and it goes live today. 

Nintendo just confirmed its big June Nintendo Direct folks. It’s really happening! All the leaks and rumors were true. 

As part of today’s 2026 summer Xbox Games Showcase, the new XBOX 25th Anniversary Console and Controller have been revealed ahead of launch this November. 

The massive summer Xbox Games Showcase is live today folks. While Xbox has already confirmed that Project Helix (its next-generation console) will not be making an appearance in any significant way today, that means it’s going to be all about the games, and what sounds like a lot of them. 

June has arrived and that means the biggest gaming showcases of the year are inbound very soon. June typically houses the summer showcases from all of the biggest publishers, platforms, and more, with the massive hour+ long broadcasts from PlayStation, Xbox, and more already set in stone. Head below for a rundown of when all of the biggest game reveals of the summer will be going live this month and more details on the potentially upcoming summer Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo historically hosts a big Direct in June, but last year things were seemingly shifted because of the Switch 2 launch and this left expectations up in the air for 2026. However, industry insiders claimed we were getting something along those lines this month, and one of them just doubled down to confirm/leak the date. 

While we are still waiting an official release date on FromSoft’s Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, ready your swords my fells Tarnished warriors, you will officially be heading back to The Lands Between in just two months time – the release date for Elden Ring Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 has been revealed. 

Just after Nintendo teased all-new official LEGO Donkey Kong sets, Nintendo announced the classic Donkey Kong 64 for Switch Online, and that day is here. The 1999 release is now live and playable in the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics library for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. 

The rumors and leaks were true, Sony just revealed a complete in-depth gameplay look at the new God of War Laufey game from Santa Monica studios. This very much looks like the leaks – Faye is the antagonists and we have 20 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay below (this is how you show a game off folks). 

The summer PlayStation State of Play showcase goes live today. We get more than a few State of Play broadcasts per year, but none quite as big as the big June show, and it all starts very soon. 

Nintendo surprised just about everyone last moth with a dedicated Star Fox Direct showcase out of nowhere. The new Switch 2 cinematic remake of the N64 game is officially set for release on June 25 and Nintendo has just unleashed a new Overview Trailer via the Nintendo Today app. 

Just ahead of tomorrow’s giant summer PlayStation games showcase, Sony has taken to the official PlayStation Blog to finally unleash the pre-order and launch deals for its upcoming hardware – the FlexStrike wireless fight stick, the official new gaming monitor, and the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers. 

Sony officially announced the 2026 Days of Play Sale yesterday, just as we expected, and everything is going live today. The annual celebration features hundreds of digital game deals, price drops on physical PS5 games at Amazon and other major retailers, a rare deal on Ghost of Yotei at Walmart and Amazon, as well as deals on PS5 controllers, PS VR2, and more – it all goes live today. 

• Amazon PlayStation Days of Play 2026 deals
• Walmart PlayStation Days of Play 2026 deals
• Best Buy PlayStation Days of Play 2026 deals

Nintendo didn’t just announce the major Nintendo Direct we are waiting for, but most assume it’s coming and several industry insiders are suggesting it’s going to be bigger than World 4 in SMB3. I’m not so certain, but there is a very good chance, based on leaks, rumors, and historical analysis, that something big is coming from the Mario Zelda maker.

It was starting to seem like we might not get a reveal until Summer Game Fest, but it is that time of year and Activision has now officially revealed this year’s Call of Duty release, and it is also releasing on Switch 2. 

Nintendo has officially announced Donkey Kong 64 for the Nintendo 64 Switch Online library. DK, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, Chunky, and the DK Rap will arrive on Nintendo Classics in one week’s time in glorious 64 bit. 

A remake of the beloved Ubisoft platformer has leaked online and is expected to see an official announcement as soon as next week. 

While it’s not the release date for The Witcher 4 you might have been waiting for, CD PROJEKT RED has now officially announced a third expansion for the brilliant Witcher 3 to enjoy in the meantime. 

The 2026 PlayStation Days of Play sale has been officially announced. Sony has taken to the official PlayStation Blog to reveal details on the annual sale event and we have everything for you below. 

Remember the days when we used to get some seriously great deals on gaming consoles for holiday events and Black Friday? No? Well, I’m old enough to remember those days, and realistic enough to know they are long gone, at least for now. And that’s why you might want to take Nintendo’s new Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundle offer more seriously. 

It is that time of year when the big game publishers start to announce their massive summer game showcases, and Sony has just penciled itself in with the next PlayStation State of Play. 

Update 5/28: Nintendo’s new Pictonico! Is now live on iOS and Android. 

While some of the big Switch 2 game leaks have now come true, there are still some major rumors still up in the air. One Nintendo game that did not leak ahead of time is the quirky new Pictonico! that was just revealed and is now set for release next week. 

Last week, Nintendo officially announced the new Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle offer, and it is now available for purchase – this basically the best and only deal on Switch 2.  

The barrage of price hikes continue, and just after Nintendo announced the price of Switch 2 was going up, as well as Switch Online in select regions, Sony is now following suite with PlayStation Plus. 

Are GTA VI preorders going live today? When do Grand Auto 6 preorders start? Well, Best Buy said it was today, but Rockstar has been entirely quiet, and a leaked email suggests the wait continues. 

GTA 6 pre-orders are set to start today, according to Best Buy. We are yet to get official word from Rockstar, according to one of the country’s biggest retailers, the latest entry for one of the biggest games of the last decade will go up for pre-order today ahead of the scheduled fall release date – but we will believe it when we see it.

Just hours after images of Microsoft’s alleged upcoming cloud gaming control leaked online, it appears as though we are also getting an early look at the next-generation Xbox Elite 3 Controller. 

We are quickly approaching the 1-year anniversary of the Nintendo Classics GameCube library on Switch 2. While have had a relatively steady stream of titles added since then, it has been two months since Nintendo delivered a new title to the service and it’s time to check in on all of the confirmed titles and what the next Game Cube game will be. 

Just after its official launch in mid February and a couple of new additions for Mario Day a month later, Nintendo has now announced five new titles for Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics. 

It has been years since Grand Theft Auto 6 was announced, and now, two early trailers later and after a couple of release date delays, it appears as though Best Buy just made a giant mistake, or GTA 6 pre-orders start next week. 

Just after the official price increase on Nintendo Switch 2 was announced on the base system, it has now issued a press release to reveal the new Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle.
