GTA 6 Includes Skrilla's Hit Song "Doot Doot," He Claims
Grand Theft Auto 6 is still seven months away from release, but there are already rumors that Rockstar Games has recruited Drake and DJ Khaled to lend their songs to the game and potentially have their own in-game radio stations as well. Now, rapper Skrilla says that his viral hit "Doot Doot (6 7)" is also going to be in GTA 6.
Skrilla made the claim during his recent appearance on Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast. "I'm waiting for GTA 6 to come out… '6 7' is on there, too," said Skrilla. He later added, "I'm going to be my own person on there, playing my own music."
The Grand Theft Auto games have traditionally had large soundtracks and multiple radio stations. Grand Theft Auto 5 alone had 22 radio stations, including a few hosted by music artists. That game was also likely the final appearance for DJ Lazlow, who was voiced by Lazlow Jones in every game from Grand Theft Auto 3 through 5. Jones quit Rockstar in 2020 and recently cast doubt on any chance of returning.

Electronic Arts has not announced any official sales data for Battlefield 6, but one report from an analyst claims the game may have approached a Call of Duty-sized launch with 6.5 million copies sold in its first few days.
Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics wrote that the game reached those sales numbers across all platforms, citing its own internal estimates. This would work to more than $350 million in gross revenue, according to Elliott.
"It's closer to Call of Duty-tier numbers than any of EA's premium-shooter efforts so far. But the question now is whether or not EA can foster this successful launch into a platform that stands the test of time," Elliott said.

It's the Halloween season in Call of Duty and Fortnite, and naturally, that means familiar faces are turning up in each game like they do every spooky season. In a rare move, there's one villainous slasher who is actually making his debut in both games this October: Jason Voorhees.
As the star of Friday the 13th, Jason is currently "between jobs," you could say, after Friday the 13th: The Game was forced to end sooner than players or creators expected due to a legal snafu some years back. Fans are clamoring for a new game starring Jason, and one is coming, Horror Inc. executive vice president Robbie Barsamian told GameSpot. Though the team doesn't have many specifics to share on that project as of now, I caught up with Barsamian to discuss the team's famous monster and his guest spots in other games this month.
With Fortnite's lighter tone and Call of Duty's emphasis on more mature themes, it's as though Jason were reimagined twice, with the towering killer giving fans two different sides of himself--and it's all wrapped up in the new Jason design helmed by Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame.

At Tokyo Game Show last month, Capcom announced a new approach to both the Capcom Cup and Street Fighter League esports tournaments with a new pay-per-view model. After a furious response to the move by the fighting game community, Capcom now says it will be taking the change into further consideration.
Per VGC, a new statement from Capcom regarding the events says that the company is "reviewing pricing and related details," with "updated information regarding the PPV broadcast, including final pricing and additional context" set to be shared "next month."
Starting October 10th at 2:00 AM PDT, fans can enter the lottery to purchase tickets to attend CAPCOM CUP 12 and the Street Fighter League: World Championship 2025 in person, both taking place at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.

The Tokyo Game Show announcement laid out Capcom's plans for the new PPV model, setting the price for both the Capcom Cup finals livestream on March 14, as well as the Street Fighter League finals the next day, at 4,000 yen each--or roughly $27 a pop. The two streams could also be bundled together at a reduced price of 6,000 yen, or approximately $40. Previous Capcom Cup and Street Fighter League events were broadcast for free via the Capcom Fighters Twitch and YouTube channels, while special event-themed cosmetic items were also offered via the in-game store.

Summer Game Fest 2026 has been announced, and there is one big change that we know about so far. The event takes place on Friday, June 5 in Los Angeles, and the show is moving to the Dolby Theatre.
The 2025 event, for comparison, was held at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California. The Dolby Theatre opened in Hollywood in 2001 and hosts the Oscars each year. It was previously known as the Kodak Theatre.
Geoff Keighley once again returns to produce Summer Game Fest 2026. Keighley runs SGF and The Game Awards, and Split Fiction writer-director Josef Fares once declared during TGA, "F**k the Oscars," a statement that carries a bit more resonance now with SGF changing venues to where the Oscars are held.

The Japanese government has formally requested that OpenAI avoid infringing on Japanese intellectual property, particularly in response to its video-generating tool, Sora 2.
At a Cabinet Office press conference, Minister of State for IP and AI Strategy Minoru Kiuchi emphasized that anime and manga are "irreplaceable treasures" representing Japan’s cultural pride (via IGN). The government urged OpenAI to respect Japanese copyrights and avoid misuse of its technology. Digital Minister Masaaki Taira echoed this sentiment, suggesting that if OpenAI doesn’t voluntarily comply, Japan could invoke provisions under the AI Promotion Act--legislation that promotes AI development while also addressing risks such as copyright violations.
Launched on October 1, Sora 2 can create 20-second HD videos with sound, and users quickly began using it to generate content featuring copyrighted characters from popular anime and game franchises like One Piece, Demon Slayer, Pokemon, and Mario. The widespread sharing of these videos on social media has alarmed Japanese authorities and creatives, prompting the government's Cabinet Office to issue the official request via its Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters.

Developer Embark Studios has announced that the upcoming extraction shooter Arc Raiders is getting a free "server slam" test this weekend on all platforms.
The test runs October 17-19 and during that period, anyone can play the game across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. The developer has conducted multiple closed tests before, but this one is open to everyone and represents the "last big push" before Arc Raiders launches on October 30.
"This is a full-scale server slam so we can hit the ground running at launch! We're opening it up to everyone 16 years old and up to help us stress test our systems, and experience a taste of the Arc Raiders experience!" the developer said.

In 2003, Vince Zampella and his Infinity Ward co-founders unleashed the original Call of Duty after previously shepherding EA's Medal of Honor franchise. The latter never reached the heights of the former, and according to Zampella, Call of Duty would have never come into being if EA hadn't come into conflict with his team.
"The only reason that Call of Duty exists is because EA were dicks," said Zampella during a new interview with GQ. Zampella didn't elaborate on his team's fallout with EA, but they eventually formed a lucrative partnership with Activision, which purchased Infinity Ward. Zampella left Infinity Ward in 2010 and formed Respawn Entertainment before once again partnering with EA. Now, Zampella is overseeing the Battlefront franchise, which continues this month with the arrival of Battlefield 6.
Zampella worked closely with Steven Spielberg on the Metal of Honor games, and Spielberg reportedly wanted to direct a Call of Duty movie years later. During the GQ interview, Zampella noted that Ridley Scott was also interested in bringing Call of Duty to the big screen.

There’s nothing better than playing games together with a group of friends across multiple platforms, but if you’re not squadding up in Battlefield 6, the idea of cross-play might send shivers down your spine.
Fortunately for you, Battlefield Studios has given console players the option to switch cross-play off--protecting them from the quick hands of mouse and keyboard players. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to turn off cross-play in Battlefield 6Turning cross-play off in Battlefield 6 is really simple, and it’ll take you less than 30 seconds. All you need to do is head to the game’s settings, select System, and then switch the cross-play toggle to off.
Continue Reading at GameSpotHow To Unlock All Class Training Paths In Battlefield 6
By default in Battlefield 6, every class has a starting Training Path that is automatically unlocked and equipped for you. Class Training Paths offer exclusive passive bonuses that go along with your Class Active Ability. The bonuses you receive from these Training Paths can directly affect your playstyle and gameplay on a match-to-match basis. Therefore, how to play all Battlefield 6 classes can differ quite a bit depending on which path you head down.
While the default Training Paths are fairly well-balanced in Battlefield 6, the game does allow you to unlock one new Training Path per class. More often than not, the second Training Path features better passive bonuses that make the class more enjoyable to use overall. However, due to the strange menu navigation that exists in Battlefield 6, you might need some help trying to figure out how to unlock these new Training Paths.
Table of Contents [hide]Unlocking new Class Training Paths in Battlefield 6To view all of the locked Training Paths for your classes in Battlefield 6, all you need to do is head to the Loadouts menu and select your current Training Path. This is the triangle icon to the left of your primary and secondary weapon boxes.
Continue Reading at GameSpotHow To Unlock All Mastery Camos In Battlefield 6
There are several daunting grinds to perform in Battlefield 6 from the moment you launch the game. However, no grind features rewards more sought-after than weapon camos. You can earn several base camos on every weapon in Battlefield 6, and these can be applied to any other weapon you have unlocked. But when it comes to the Mastery Camos, those are exclusive to a specific weapon, meaning you have to unlock the Mastery Camo for every individual weapon in Battlefield 6.
Naturally, players want to earn the Mastery Camo for their favorite weapons, and true completionists will want to unlock the camo for every weapon in the game eventually, just like they'll want to unlock all free skins in Battlefield 6. With how complicated camo-tracking can be in Battlefield 6, though, you might find it difficult even to find where the Mastery Camo can be equipped, let alone how to earn it.
How to unlock most camos in Battlefield 6Before we can fully explain how to earn the Mastery Camos in Battlefield 6, you'll have to understand how camos are unlocked in general.
Continue Reading at GameSpotWoW: Midnight Is Killing Part Of The Game Before It's Ready
World of Warcraft's next expansion, Midnight, is taking the nuclear option when it comes to eliminating combat add-ons, after years of Blizzard discussing how they posed problems for the health of the game. It's a bold approach, but, unfortunately, one that has been communicated incredibly poorly and seems to be taking unnecessary risks that could potentially make the game worse, not better, in the short term.
Until the recent arrival of Midnight's alpha build, it wasn't exactly clear how far-reaching Blizzard's approach would be. While non-combat add-ons (WoW's version of player-made mods) aren't being touched, it was known some major changes would be coming to how combat add-ons work in Midnight. Those changes would come in conjunction with Blizzard introducing its own version of popular add-on functions, like boss timers and damage meters, alongside improvements to recently implemented features like the cooldown manager and combat assistant. Blizzard also said it's designing combat encounters going forward so that (hopefully) combat add-ons wouldn't be as necessary as before.
That all sounded great on paper. Many assumed some of these changes would come over time, allowing for a period where both add-ons and Blizzard's own UI updates could work in conjunction or until certain parts of the base-game UI meant to replicate add-on functionality was ready. Blizzard has instead opted to rip off the proverbial band-aid.

Lego Speed Champions: DeLorean Time Machine (357 pieces)
$28 | Releases January 1, 2026
Preorder at AmazonIt might be hard to believe, but Back to the Future celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. To kick off the festivities, Lego has unveiled a new DeLorean time machine set as part of the Lego Speed Champions line. Priced at $28, it's now available to preorder ahead of its release on January 1, 2026.
Lego Speed Champions: DeLorean Time Machine (357 pieces) $28 | Releases January 1, 2026This little 357-piece set is designed to be a quick project, and it comes with minifigures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown. Both of the film characters can be placed inside the DeLorean, and the finished vehicle is full of screen-accurate details like bricks that echo the stainless steel finish of the original vehicle, a flux capacitator in the rear, and a lightning rod that's waiting to be zapped with 1.21 gigawatts of energy. You can also build a few other pieces to place on the DeLorean, and once you flip the wheels down, you'll have a cute replica of the version seen in Back to the Future 2.
Preorder at Amazon Lego Icons: DeLorean Time Machine (1,827pieces) $170 (was $200)
The new DeLorean set is cute, but for high-end collectors, the Lego Icons DeLorean is the kit to get. This is a far larger build at 1,872 pieces, but the end result is a work of movie art. This version allows you to customize the DeLorean to look just like the one seen in the three Back to the Future movie. The first option has the rod and Plutonium chamber, the first sequel DeLorean has a flight mode and the Mr. Fusion generation, and the DeLorean from Back to the Future 3 is complete once you add whitewall tires, a circuit board, and interchangeable license plates.
Normally $200, you can pick this set up for $170 currently.

The creative lead steering the Assassin's Creed franchise for Ubisoft has departed the company. The exit comes not long after the French publisher unveiled its Tencent-backed spin-off division Vantage Studios, which will take charge of development for Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six titles.
Vantage Studios said that Marc-Alexis Côté, who held the title of Vice President Executive Producer for Assassin's Creed since 2022, had been offered a leadership position at this new subsidiary, but he declined the role, IGN reports. The formation of the then-unnamed Vantage Studios was announced back in March.
In an internal email to Ubisoft staff, Vantage Studios co-CEO Christophe Derennes expressed disappointment with Côté's decision, adding that Côté "had his own expectations and priorities related to Vantage Studios' creation and future."
