Nintendo has had a tough year when it comes to leaks (more like two years at this point), which is to be expected in and around a major new console release. But after having what will almost certainly be its major holiday Switch 2 game leaked months ahead of time, and countless number of others, a new, as of yet un-announced Metroid game has now surfaced online.

Say goodbye to physical PlayStation games on a disc folks. Rockstar just put the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 up for pre-order with no disc in the box – some gamers were very much not happy about this. And now, in an official post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony just announced it will no longer release physical discs for new games launching on PlayStation consoles.

After years of leaks Bethesda finally shadow dropped the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in mid 2025, and after receiving its fair share of rumors, we now have an official release date for the Switch 2 edition.

Pre-orders are now live and flying for the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. The game, as I’m sure you all know by know, is only launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC presumably in the works for a future release (as per usual with Rockstar), but a new leak suggests the rumored Switch 2 version is inbound too.

Update:
Okay here we go! Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and others are at the ready to take orders on boxed copies and you won’t have to pay until later this year when it launches in November. All digital copies are expected to be live on the PS and Xbox storefronts tonight as well.
Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders are in full swing at Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, and elsewhere, about gazillion people have already secured a copy, and Rockstar still hasn’t even showed us any real gameplay. It hasn’t even really detailed much more than the game world at this point, but Amazon is not only in the midst of its giant Prime Day sale right now, but it also might have just leaked some new tidbits regarding real-time protagonist switching, in-game social network action that ties into secret side missions, and more.
The Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Amazon, Walmart, GameStop and elsewhere, as you might already know if you stayed up with us for the midnight launch. But if you’re bitter about Rockstar’s decision to launch the “physical” version with just a download code in the box, the same insider that leaked the digital launch ahead of time is now claiming a disc version of Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming later this year.

Update: Pre-orders are now live:
This is it folks, Grand Theft Auto VI is set to go up for preorder at midnight tonight (local time). It might not be easy to get your pre-order to go through, but we are here to help and make sure in-stock live listings are front and center all night.
Update: Pre-orders are now live:
Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders go live tonight and we now know exactly what it will cost. However, what was supposed to be a momentous occasion, the most exciting game release in (almost) forever for millions of fans, has quickly become rife with (digital) controversy.

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?
