God of War developer Santa Monica Studio has responded to a social media post from Domino's Pizza after the pizza chain's UK account joked about the newly announced God of War: Laufey for being a God of War game without Kratos.

The post from Domino's Pizza UK said, "God of War game with no Kratos = Pepperoni Passion with no pepperoni." The Domino's Pizza UK post was criticized for making fun of the game just because it doesn't feature Kratos, with many replies pointing out the reports of how poorly Domino's is known to treat its workers and how mediocre at best its pizza is.

Santa Monica Studio responded by saying, "ok thanks for the feedback, dominos pizza corporate account."

The Domino's Pizza UK account is known for its spicy posts, and this was just the latest example as the account purposefully posting something hyperbolic and weird to garner attention. It worked, but now people are dunking on Domino's even more than before.

God of War: Laufey tells the story of Fey, the wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus. She died, but lives on in the afterlife of the gods--the Everywhen. The events of the new game are happening concurrently with the story from the 2018 God of War. The game also involves a gelatinous cube played by Jack Quaid.

Kratos is a beloved character, but Santa Monica Studio wanted to mix things up and tell a story from a different perspective with Laufey before possibly returning to a Kratos-focused story in the future.

2K Sports released a new batch of downloadable content for WWE 2K26 earlier today, with Matt Cardona, La Parka, and WWE legends Torrie Wilson and Brian Pillman headlining the additions. However, hidden within the latest update is another addition to the roster that not even diehard WWE fans would expect: Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of 2K parent company Take-Two Interactive, is now playable in WWE 2K26.

Zelnick is depicted in a blue suit and dress shoes, and he currently boasts a 77 overall rating; for comparison, WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin, who sits next to Zelnick on the roster page, has a rating of 97.

The CEO's entrance music is "My Way" by Frank Sinatra, a song that's exclusive to Zelnick. The in-game jukebox will not play the song, nor can it be assigned to any other wrestler, real or customized, through the creation suite.

YouTube user Xain Wani posted a video of Zelnick's entrance, which also includes a custom video on the Titantron as well as unique commentary, which found its way onto ResetEra. Zelnick's inclusion was not mentioned in the official press release for the DLC pack, so many players were caught by surprise.

This is also not the first time a real-world gaming executive found their way into a video game. A downloadable chapter of Nier: Automata saw players face off against then-CEO Yosuke Matsuda, as well as Platinum Games president Kenichi Sato, in 2017.

Remedy's multiplatform action game Control Resonant showed up during the PlayStation State of Play event this week, and it turns out the game is giving PS5 users preferential treatment.

One of the perks of buying the $70 digital deluxe edition of Control Resonant on PS5 is 48 hours of early access. That means PS5 users who pay $10 more than the standard edition can start playing on September 22. Everyone else can get started on September 24.

The digital deluxe edition also includes the Hiss Corruption outfit and Pickpocket's Tool artifact on all platforms, but PS5 players get something more: the Occult outfit.

The digital deluxe edition of Control Resonant also costs $70 on Xbox Series X|S and PC, but PS5 is the only place to get 48-hour early access and the Occult outfit.

These types of exclusivity deals are not uncommon in games, but it's still a bummer that two out of the game's three platforms are missing out on some content and early access, despite paying the same amount. PC and Xbox users will also have to deal with potentially having the game's story spoiled for them as they wait the two days to get started.

A new story trailer for Control Resonant was released during the State of Play event this week--check it out above.

Ahead of its release in September, Remedy Entertainment has revealed the recommended PC specifications for Control Resonant, and they aren't as demanding as you might think.

Hot on the heels of the game's latest trailer during Sony's State of Play, Remedy shared the minimum and recommended hardware configurations you'll need for Control Resonant later this year, with GPUs and CPUs from several generations past being the most demanding aspects. On the recommended front, Resonant will require either an RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, which released all the way back in 2020 and 2021 respectively.

They're also severely limited cards when it comes to memory by modern standards. The RTX 3070 specifically features only 8GB of VRAM, which has been too little for many recent releases. That bodes well if you're still clinging onto older hardware in light of the ongoing AI-driven memory crisis, which has made everything with fast memory more expensive to purchase.

• OS: Windows 10/ 11 (64-bit required)
• Processor: Intel corei5-8500 or AMD equivalent
• Memory: 16GB RAM
• Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 5600 XT
• Storage: 100GB SSD

• OS: Windows 10/ 11 (64-bit required)
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent
• Memory: 16GB RAM
• Graphics: GeForce RTX 3070 / Radeon RX 6700 XT
• Storage: 100GB SSD

The caveat here is that while Remedy Entertainment seems to be catering to players with aging systems, there's no indication yet what type of performance you can expect with these configurations. The studio says that information will come closer to launch, presumably with breakdowns indicating what hardware you'll need to run the sequel at higher resolutions with more graphically demanding settings like ray tracing, which the first Control was renowned for.

Control Resonant is launching on September 24, and there's a slew of other massive games occupying the same month such as Marvel's Wolverine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, and more.
