Rockstar Delays GTA 6 And The Internet Responds Exactly As You'd Expect

Sat, 11/08/2025 - 03:06

It's official: Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed. The highly anticipated open-world game from Rockstar was originally scheduled for a May 2026 release, but it will now be out on November 19 instead. A game delay is never good news, but for Take-Two Interactive, the news saw its stock price temporarily drop while the industry calibrated itself for the later launch.

GTA 6 is regarded as something truly special, a once-in-a-generation release that is being fueled by an absurd amount of hype. Even a simple YouTube trailer dominates discussions for days after it's released--and reignites interest in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers--and the delay has gotten a lot of responses from just about everyone with their finger on the pulse of the gaming community.

Big brands like Dominos Pizza and KFC haven't missed with their responses, and someone at Red Bull Gaming needs to stop drinking a dangerous amount of overly caffeinated energy drinks. Some of the responses have been brutally honest, others have taken the news in their stride with cheeky responses, and some people have overreacted really badly to the delay.

Arc Raiders A Reveal In Ruins Quest Guide

Sat, 11/08/2025 - 03:00

Traders in Arc Raiders will send you on plenty of quests to find them specific items, such as A Reveal in Ruins, where Lance requests that you find him an ESR Analyzer from a pharmacy in Buried City. This quest is straightforward at a glance, but you'll want to know where to go to find this item, as getting back out alive is all part of the task.

You heard right--you'll need to take the ESR Analyzer back to Speranza, so you'll want to bring an augment with a safe pocket to ensure that you don't lose the item if you happen to die. Once you've equipped an appropriate augment--and hopefully a good gun and a few heals--it'll be time to set off.

When you're ready to tackle A Reveal in Ruins, follow the steps below to find the ESR Analyzer.

Arc Raiders Hatch Repairs Quest Guide

Sat, 11/08/2025 - 02:22

You're probably accustomed to using the normal method of extraction in Arc Raiders, such as elevators, trains, or air shafts (depending on the map). However, Raider Hatches provide an easier and faster method of getting back to Speranza if you have a Raider Hatch Key. You'll learn about these unique escape hatches during the Hatch Repair quest--but you'll also need to repair a hatch to complete the quest.

You won't need to extract to complete Hatch Repairs, but as you'll find further below, the quest makes it quite easy for you to do so if you wish. Either way, it's never a bad idea to load in with a free loadout to ensure you don't lose any hard-earned items or guns if you die during the quest.

Once you're ready to take on Hatch Repairs, follow the steps below to find a Raider Hatch and repair it.

Texas Sues Roblox Over Child "Exploitation And Grooming" Concerns

Sat, 11/08/2025 - 02:02

Following in Florida's footsteps, Texas's attorney general has sued Roblox Corporation, the developer of the multiplayer online game creation platform Roblox, for "flagrantly ignoring" laws and exposing children to "sexually explicit content, exploitation, and grooming."

Ken Paxton, a Republican who's been Texas's AG since 2015 and is making a bid for U.S. Senate, announced the lawsuit in an X post on November 6. In the documentation, his office claimed Roblox Corporation was "flagrantly ignoring state and federal laws while deceiving parents about the dangers of its platform." The suit continues, claiming that Paxton is taking action because "Roblox chose to put pixel pedophiles and corporate profit over the safety of Texas children."

BioShock 4 Isn't Dead And Is Still Coming, Take-Two Promises

Sat, 11/08/2025 - 00:57

The next BioShock game has been in development for the better part of a decade, but 2K Games parent company Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that there are no plans currently to cancel it. In a new interview, CEO Strauss Zelnick addressed the lengthy development cycle, promising that BioShock will eventually be released.

"It's going to come out. That I can say hand on heart, without question," Zelnick said to IGN. The CEO added that with longer development cycles for AAA games, it had become more challenging to build a game that can stand out from the pack as part of its quality-over-quantity mindset. "The strategy of this company has always been to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment. Of course, sometimes we've fallen short, but frankly, a precious few times," Zelnick boasted, adding that Take-Two is aiming to release "exceptional" games.

Zelnick's comments come in the wake of a recent Bloomberg report about BioShock 4 undergoing a partial overhaul to improve on key areas. Meanwhile, Take-Two president Karl Slatoff also addressed the status of BioShock during this week's earnings call and spoke about changes at Cloud Chamber following layoffs at the studio. This led to the departure of studio head Kelley Gilmore, with former Diablo boss Rod Fergusson taking over.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Passes Mario Kart 8 On All-Time Game Sales List

Sat, 11/08/2025 - 00:27

Red Dead Redemption 2 is climbing up the sales charts, surpassing Nintendo's best-selling Mario Kart game ever. As part of Take-Two's latest earnings report, the company disclosed that the 2018 open-world Western sold another 2 million copies in the past three months to climb to 79 million overall.

In reaching that mark, Red Dead Redemption 2 has surpassed 2014's Mario Kart 8 on the list for all-time game sales. Mario Kart 8 has sold 78.02 million units--this includes 69.56 million units sold for Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and 8.46 million copies of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U.

Of note, however, is that the Mario Kart 8 sales figure is inflated in a way that can't be said for Red Dead Redemption 2, as the Mario Kart 8 sales numbers include pack-in sales. Given that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the centerpiece of Nintendo's annual Black Friday and holiday bundles, copies of the game sold in bundles are surely numerous.

GTA 6 Publisher Reacts To EA's $55 Billion Sale

Fri, 11/07/2025 - 23:58

One of the biggest stories in gaming this year is EA's pending $55 billion deal to be sold to a investor consortium led by Saudi Arabia. The sale could have ripple effects across the wider industry, and now Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has weighed in with his thoughts about it all.

Speaking during Take-Two's latest earnings briefing, Zelnick said he is "not sure" about how the competitive market could shake out if EA does indeed go private. This would leave Take-Two the last publicly traded company--of a certain scale--in the American video game business, an analyst pointed out.

Some have theorized EA going private could be a boon for Take-Two, but Zelnick isn't keen to assume that will be the case.

New Edition Of The Indiana Jones 4K Steelbook Collection Launching This Month

Fri, 11/07/2025 - 22:26
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Amazon

44 years on since he first cracked his whip, Indiana Jones is still an icon of cinema with five films to his name. If you have yet to add the series to your Blu-ray shelf, you can preorder a new 4K Steelbook Edition of the Indiana Jones Four-Movie Collection for $70 ahead of its release on November 11. It'll be joined by a $68 4K standard edition box set on the same day. Both collections include the first four Indy films on 4K Blu-ray and digital streaming codes. This new edition is technically a re-release of an older box set. While the older version is still available, it's more expensive and its digital download codes have likely expired by now--so it's worth waiting a couple extra days for this new printing.

Indiana Jones Four-Movie Collection (4K Steelbook Blu-ray) $70 | Releases November 11

As the name implies, the Indiana Jones Four-Movie Collection includes the first four Indiana Jones movies:

  • Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • Temple of Doom
  • The Last Crusade
  • Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Each movie is presented in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, and is packaged in its own steelbook case with cover art of Indy from his various adventures. The set comes in a slipcover display case, and includes a double-sided poster with a collage of classic Indiana Jones movie posters and scenes.

Along with the films, the Indiana Jones Four-Movie Collection also includes all the legacy bonus materials from previous Blu-ray releases, adding up to a substantial collection of behind-the-scenes content examining many characters, locations, and props of the Indy universe.

Preorder at Amazon Indiana Jones Four-Movie Collection (4K Blu-ray) $68 | Releases November 11

A standard edition 4K box is also launching on November 11. This version doesn't include steelbook covers for the movies, but the on-disc content is identical. It also comes in a slipcase with a double-sided poster.

Preorder at Amazon Indiana Jones Four-Movie Steelbook Collection

Since this collection only includes four of the five Indiy movies, you'll want to grab Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny if you're planning to complete the saga. It's available on 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray. Both versions offer the same special features, including a five-part hour-long documentary chronicling the making of the movie. And in case the Four-Movie collection sells out, you can also grab standalone versions of the rest of the Indiana Jones series. Each movie is available on 4K UHD and standard Blu-ray.

While it doesn't have ancient deathtraps or fancy fedoras, movie fans can also preorder a re-release of the Transformers Six-Movie Steelbook Collection launching on November 11. The box set includes 4K UHD, standard Blu-ray, and digital streaming versions of the first six films in the live-action Transformers franchise on--meaning the only entry missing from this bundle is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Like the Indy collection, each Transformers movie in the set features a unique steelbook case with cover art of iconic characters like Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee.

CKRD Teases New Drum Kit For Rhythm Games

Fri, 11/07/2025 - 21:46

CKRD is getting the band back together, as the company behind several controllers for rhythm games has teased a new drum kit for 2026. The reveal trailer was short, but it did show off what looks like a comprehensive drum kit that includes four color-coded pads, three cymbals, and a pedal.

Beyond that teaser, CKRD mentioned on its blog post that it aims to use the lessons it learned from previous releases and fan feedback to create "something truly great" for players. The full reveal will be in Q1 2026, and the company says that it has two more announcements to make this year.

Rhythm games have made a small comeback over the last couple of years, thanks in part to Fortnite Festival. Essentially Guitar Hero for a new generation, the mode supports guitar controllers, and CKRD has a line of these peripherals available for purchase. They're equipped with a built-in sensor for activating Star Power in Guitar Hero games, Navigation Hub buttons, strum bars with Hall Effect and haptic feedback, and a modular mechanical neck for different play styles.

Mafia: The Old Country's $50 Price Point Paid Off, Take Two Boss Says

Fri, 11/07/2025 - 20:06

While the biggest news out of Take-Two's latest earnings call was a disappointing 6 month delay for GTA 6, CEO Strauss Zelnick also took some time to discuss the success of August release Mafia: The Old Country. The prequel title was priced at just $50 on release, a gamble that Zelnick says paid off.

A Mafia prequel set in Sicily in the early 1900s, Mafia: The Old Country is more linear and story-driven than other games in the franchise. 2K games promoted the title as a polished, condensed experience that doesn't require a massive time commitment from players, and priced the game to match.

Take-Two's latest earnings report revealed that Mafia: The Old Country quickly outperformed the company's expectations for it. "What we suspected was confirmed," Zelnick said in an interview with The Game Business. "Which is just… if you give consumers a great narrative experience that's a lot of fun, somewhat contained, and at a fair price, then you can have the perfect result."

New Metroid Prime Action Figure 3-Packs Launch At Walmart For Only $15

Fri, 11/07/2025 - 18:19
See at Walmart See at Walmart See at Walmart

Three World of Nintendo Metroid Prime action figure packs from Jakks Pacific are available at Walmart. All three are officially licensed by Nintendo and listed for budget-friendly prices. For $25, fans can get a 6-inch Metroid figure with UV lighting. Walmart also has a pair of smaller action figure 3-packs for $15 each. The Metroid Prime Bounty Hunter Diorama Set includes Samus Aran and two Metroids, while the Chozo Power Suit Figure Set features Samus in three different suits.

The $15 Metroid Prime action figure bundles are exclusive to Walmart, but the $25 Metroid figure is expected to be sold soon at Amazon and Target, too. Interested Metroid fans probably shouldn't wait too long to buy the new figures. Jakks Pacific has only made a few Metroid action figures in recent years, and the prices ballooned in a hurry. Last year's Samus Phazon Suit 4-inch figure retailed for $11 and now sells for $20-$30. The 2023 Samus Varia Suit 4-inch figure is even harder to find and is frequently listed for $40-$50.

Metroid Prime Ultraviolet Glow Metroid Figure $25

As shown above, the 6-inch Ultraviolet Glow Metroid illuminates when exposed to black light.

The Bounty Hunter set features a 2.5-inch Samus Aran figure and two Metroid figures that also measure 2.5 inches across.

Identical 2.5-inch Metroid figures are frequently listed for over $20--and that's just for one of them. Getting two Metroid figures and one Samus figure for $15 is an incredible bargain compared to the reseller market over the last few years.

See at Walmart Metroid Prime: Chozo Power Suit Samus Figure Set $15 | Walmart Exclusive

The Chozo Power Suit Set includes three 2.5-inch Samus figures, each one with a different suit. The Varia Suit figure--Samus' most iconic look--looks to be the same figure included in the Bounty Hunter set.

This three-pack also comes with Samus in her Phazon Suit and Samus in her Gravity Suit.

The Chozo Power Suit Set originally launched in 2019 as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. The figures look the same in the new one, but the artwork on the box has been updated. The original is often listed for double or triple Walmart's price.

Nintendo fans should also check out the newly released Donkey Kong Family action figure 4-pack. Exclusive to Target, the Kong Family collection comes with 2.5-inch figures of DK, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky Kong for only $20.

Prep For Badlands With These Predator Blu-Rays And Comics

Fri, 11/07/2025 - 12:48
See at Amazon

Predator: Badlands hit theaters this week, bringing fans the next entry in the long-running sci-fi action series. Unlike many of the previous films that portray the intergalactic hunters as villains, Badlands focuses on the Predator (aka Yautja) homeworld and culture for the first time, following a young member of the Yautja clan (played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) on his first hunt. Early reviews are positive, and it sounds like it will be a great entry point for new fans--however, if the pre-release buzz has you interested in checking out the previous Predator films before seeing Badlands, you're in luck. The Predator Four-Film Blu-ray Collection is on sale for $30 (was $40) at Amazon for a limited time.

Predator Four-Film Collection $30 (was $40)

This collection includes Blu-ray editions of the first four mainline movies: Predator (1987), Predator 2, Predators, and The Predator (2018), along with several special features. This includes commentary tracks for Predator (1987) and Predator 2, cast and crew interviews, behind-the-scenes featurettes and documentaries, deleted scenes, and more.

Amazon's discount applies to the Blu-ray and DVD editions of the collection. The Blu-ray version is $30 (was), while the DVD set is $15 (was $30). A 4K UHD version of the set was also made, but is currently sold out, and as such isn't eligible for the discount.

See at Amazon

The original Predator film is likely the one most people are familiar with. It starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jessie Ventura, and Shane Black as members of an elite special forces team who encounter the Predator during a covert black ops mission in South America. It was followed up by Predator 2, which stars Danny Glover, and sees a new Predator take on cops and criminals during a record-breaking heatwave in LA. 20 years later, the series finally resumed with Predators in 2010. The film features an ensemble cast of soldiers and gangsters stranded on an alien planet that the Predators use for hunts. The series took another gap until The Predator in 2018. Written by Shane Black--the same Shane Black who appeared in the original film--The Predator brings the action back to Earth, pitting the alien huntsman against U.S. soldiers in a suburban neighborhood.

While the Predator Four-Film Collection will get you most of the Predator series in a single package, it's not the full saga. Most notably, the fifth mainline entry in the series, Prey, is not part of the box set. Luckily, you can pick it up in 4K UHD and standard Blu-ray editions. Widely considered one of the best films in the series, Prey is set in 1719, and it follows Naru (Amber Midthunder), a young Comanche woman living in 1719 North America, who must face down The Predator to save her tribe. The Prey Blu-ray release includes a short making-of featurette, a panel recap with the cast and crew, deleted scenes, and an audio commentary track with director Dan Trachtenberg, Amber Midthunder, Jeff Cutter, and Angela M. Catanzaro.
