In related news, ex-PlayStation Boss Shawn Layden thinks Sony killing off discs is a step in the wrong direction, despite agreeing with the majority of customers who buy games digitally.

In today's special episode of the Daily Fix:GTA 6's massive marketing push will continue right up to the game's launch (and likely beyond), with the Miami Heat celebrating 'A Night in Vice City' on November 18th, the day before the game drops. The Heat's arena, the Kaseya Center, has already changed their branding via giant signage on the roof visible from planes, and there will be Vice City-themed merch available. In related news, a Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer is stirring the pot again with comments about GTA 6's price. And James Gunn's DCU is safe (for now) from the WB-Paramount merger.

In today's Daily Fix:The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (or the ESRB to you laymen), has finally slapped the M for Mature rating on Grand Theft Auto 6. Based on that extended gameplay look on Netflix, GTA 6 will be hitting all the hallmarks of an M-rated game: violence, sexual content, alcohol use, etc. So something for everyone. In other news, 007 First Light's first DLC has dropped, and it's free for all. It adds a New Game Plus mode, photo mode, a new difficulty, and new missions in the TacSim mode. And speaking of DLC, Crimson Desert's Charting the Unknown expansion has been delayed.

In today's Daily Fix:The developers at Rockstar Games were all hard at work researching for Grand Theft Auto 6, and that includes the arduous and time-consuming task of visiting strip clubs. For no other reason to be as accurate as possible for the game. No other reason at all. In other news, Switch 2 owners can apparently claim a copy of The Witcher 3 Remastered for free, provided you know someone with a physical copy of the Switch 1 version. There's a good chance CD Projekt RED will find a way to patch this out, so claim it while you can. And finally, Capcom has a plan for when their remakes catch up to the modern games. With a Code Veronica remake already announced—and assuming they don't do an RE Zero and another RE1 remake—they only have Resident Evils 5 and 6 left.

In today's Daily Fix:Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has been MIA since its 2024 reveal at The Game Awards, but developer Naughty Dog says that will change next year. The game will get a full reveal—and maybe even a release date—sometime in 2027, and studio head Neil Druckmann asked for fans' patience while the devs 'cook for just a little bit longer.' In other news, former PlayStation Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida thinks Sony and Nintendo need to hang onto the the current generation of consoles for as long as they can. Skyrocketing electronics component prices will likely put any new console out of reach for a lot of gamers, and there seems to be no rush to move on from the troubled PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 generation. And finally, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie adaptation was such a big hit, it boosted sales of some of the older game titles. Resident Evils 2 and 4 saw a 50% spike in sales on the PS5, no doubt also helped by a recent sale on those games.

In today's Daily Fix:Sony has revealed a new image from the upcoming God of War Laufey, featuring Kratos. While Kratos appeared briefly in the game's extended gameplay trailer, this screenshot places Kratos and Laufey in what appears to be ancient Greece, from a time before they even met. Not much is known about the game's story and setting, aside from Laufey waking up in the Everywhen after being cremated by Kratos in the 2018 game. In entertainment news, Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts has been tapped by Disney to helm the first in a new Star Wars trilogy from writer Simon Kinberg. Watts already has experience with Star Wars, co-creating the Goonies-esque Disney+ series, Skeleton Crew. And finally, Avengers: Endgame Encore assembled an impressive $86 million global box office haul in its first re-release. That's on top of the already massive $2.88 billion the movie has already made since its first debut in 2019.

In today's Daily Fix:Bungie thinks they may have figured out what went wrong with Marathon, and it just might be too damn hard. Marathon's senior design lead, Kevin Yanes, admits that the "constant loop failure" didn't resonate with players in the way Bungie had hoped. Marathon has been hemorraging players since its debut earlier in the year, which may have lead Bungie to revive Destiny 2 content. In other news, The Verge has revealed the next Halo Studios-made Halo game was still years away, forcing Microsoft to pull the project and hand the IP over to Activision. It's been five years since Halo Infinite, which itself was five years after Halo 5. And finally, Insider Gaming reports that Ubisoft pitched a Zelda game to Nintendo...with Gannondorf as the protagonist. Nintendo decided not to pursue the project after seeing a prototype in 2023.

In today's Daily Fix:Rockstar has revealed a pricey $400 collector's edition for Grand Theft Auto 6—and it doesn't even include the game. The set does include collectibles such as a pair of Oakley sunglasses, a fanny pack, hat, stickers, a keychain, shot glass, and more. But, for $400 you'd think they toss in a code for GTA 6. In other news, Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development at Ubisoft, and has even added a writer from Assassin's Creed Shadows to its team. The game was first announced 18 (!) years ago, and Ubisoft has been drip-feeding updates every few years, with no release date in sight. And finally, Bethesda's Starfield may not be getting a sequel that diehard fans were hoping for, as a former developer admits the game was just not succesful enough.

In today's Daily Fix:The dust has barely settled after yesterday's seismic news of another major shake-up at Xbox. Leadership positions at Halo Studios and Gears of War developer The Coalition have taken a hit. Juan Vaca, story director for Gears of War: E-Day has been let go, just under a week before the game was set to launch on early access. And Josh Daniels, Cinematic Director for Halo, was promoted and then laid off in the same week. Layoffs at Halo Studios are not too surprising as Xbox is giving Activision the keys to Halo, but job losses at The Coalition are concerning considering Microsoft has not made any announcements about that studio. And in related news, Xbox is set to debut a new achievement: the mythic achievement, which will be their equivalent to a PlayStation platinum trophy. The sound of the new achievement has already been discovered.

In today's Daily Fix: Microsoft is continuing its great reset of its Xbox division with another massive shake-up. Halo will now be given to Activision, who will develop the next mainline game. Unfortunately that means layoffs for Halo Studios, along with a very likely studio closure for Ninja Theory. The Hellblade developer was set to be sold off, but those deals apparently had fallen through. And The Blood of Dawnwalker is geting a major update next month, and it might remove most—if not all—of the combat.

In today's Daily Fix:Bungie dropped a surprise video expressing their thanks to fans for being honest about the future of Destiny. Earlier this year, Bungie made the decision to stop content development for Destiny 2, effectively ending new updates the game after nearly 10 years. But according to Bungie, they're not done yet, and promise they have more stories to tell in that universe. Bungie is also teasing the return of old content removed from Destiny 2. In other news, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation can be a very long game—about 100 hours—if you try and do everything. And finally, Zach Creggers adaptation of Resident Evil had a scary good debut weekend.
