Grand Theft Auto Online players are going to live the high life in the game's latest update, A Safehouse in the Hills. For the first time, the game is letting users purchase one of three luxury estates in and around Los Santos and all of the amenities that come with them. It arrives alongside the new Grand Theft Auto 5 Title Update 1.72, the full patch notes for which you can see below.

Each of the three mansions--The Richman Villa, Tongva Estate, and Vinewood Residence--have their own perks and visual identities. But all of the mansions come with a fast-travel ability that lets players go from the lap of luxury to any of their other properties in the city without the hassle of driving.

Players can take remote work to the next level by using a master control terminal to remotely manage their businesses. But when the need for travel arises, there's a 20-car garage with ample space for personal vehicles as well as a private rooftop helipad that comes with a Volatus helicopter.

A new update has arrived to both Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone. The patch notes for the December 10 update detail various bug fixes and improvements across all modes, but some of the changes are a disappointment for Zombies players.

A few bugs are squashed for Season 1's new Astra Malorum Zombies map. The patch notes address an issue where Oscar could become stuck in the starting area, and it also fixes the map's new LGM-1 Wonder Weapon, which could sometimes fire with unintended behavior when paired with certain GobbleGums and the Frenzied Fire augment. Unfortunately, this also affects a strategy players were using to help make the Wonder Weapon more powerful during the tough boss fight for Astra Malorum.

The update also corrects an issue that previously awarded players the completion rewards for the Astra Malorum boss fight even when the encounter was actually failed.

Astro Bot Physical Edition

$40 (was $60)

See at Amazon See at PS Direct See at Walmart See at Best Buy See at Target

Astro Bot is on sale for its lowest price ever during PlayStation's 2025 Holiday Sale. The wonderful PS5-exclusive 3D platformer normally sells for $60 and rarely receives discounts, but you can grab a copy for only $40 through December 18. This deal kicked off last month alongside the rest of the Black Friday PlayStation hardware and game deals. Amazon sold out of copies within days, but the deal is back in stock as of December 10. The Astro Bot discount is also available at PlayStation Direct, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy.

Unfortunately, the Astro Bot Joyful DualSense Controller deal remains sold out at all retailers. You can, however, save $20 on other limited-edition models, including the Walmart-exclusive Icon Blue DualSense.

Astro Bot Physical Edition $40 (was $60)

Astro Bot is a 3D platformer starring Team Asobi's plucky, titular robot hero as he embarks on a galaxy-spanning quest to save his comrades from an evil alien.

The superb adventure builds off of the foundation of Astro's Playroom, the free pack-in game that launched with the PS5 console to showcase the DualSense Controller's unique features. Over the course of 90-plus levels, Astro Bot makes brilliant use of the DualSense's adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, touch panel, gyro controls, and built-in speaker. From a mechanical perspective, Astro Bot is arguably the most inventive and playful 3D platformer ever made.

Astro Bot also doubles as a celebration of all things PlayStation. You'll meet little robots themed around other PlayStation heroes and heroines, including Ratchet, Rivet, Kratos, Atreus, Aloy, Nathan Drake, Sly Cooper, Jak, Crash Bandicoot, and many more. Some of the levels are even themed around different franchises and implement mechanics from those games.

Astro Bot earned a 9/10 in GameSpot's review and won GOTY at last year's Game Awards.

The Game Awards are just around the corner, and while this time of year is surely exciting for all the nominees--and those of us eager for new game announcements--this year, there is one studio in particular that has more reason than any to celebrate: Sandfall Interactive.

Earlier this year, the small-scale studio took the world by storm with its debut title, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Despite being Sandfall's first game, the narrative-driven, turn-based RPG quickly entered the pantheon of all-time greatest RPGs, earning nearly universal critical acclaim for its artistry, story, and espousal of mechanics and themes typically associated with Japanese RPGs.

Now, Sandfall Interactive stands poised to make The Game Awards history. Last month, the studio broke The Game Awards' record for most award nominations, earning a whopping 13, including Game of the Year. Earlier this year, I spoke with the studio's creative director, Guillaume Broche, who said the team was in "disbelief" about how the game has been received; it stands to reason that this sentiment has only grown with the game's tremendous success.

Come gather around The Ghoul Log, a festive video that the Fallout TV show has created in the lead-up to Season 2. Starting with The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), this holiday special features Dogmeat and shows a human arm--"specifically, a fat man's"--burning in a fireplace for roughly an hour and a half.

On YouTube, Prime Video released the officially titled Fallout: The Ghoul Log, which can be seen below. The Ghoul makes a couple of revelations about the wasteland early on. First up, he says, "Well, this ain't no Whoville," implying The Grinch is part of that universe. Funnily enough, Goggins portrays The Grinch in a Walmart ad campaign this holiday season. And sadly, The Ghoul notes that Santa Claus doesn't exist in the wasteland.

Regardless, the video can help fill in the time until Fallout Season 2 premieres next week on December 18. Prime Video will drop episodes weekly through February--a major shift for Fallout. The first season saw all episodes arrive at once on the streaming platform. Speaking of that, you can watch Season 1 for free on Samsung TV Plus

At the end of October, Rockstar fired over 30 employees at Rockstar North in the United Kingdom and contended that they were let go over "gross misconduct." The Grand Theft Auto developer has since been accused of union busting, since many of the fired devs were either members of the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain or organizing for it. Now, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, and a member of Parliament, are keeping up the pressure on Rockstar.

"It's a deeply concerning case," said Starmer. "Every worker has the right to join a trade union and we're determined to strengthen workers rights and ensure they don't face unfair consequences for being part of a union. Our ministers will look into the particular case the member raises and will keep him updated."

The case was brought up by Edinburgh East and Musselburgh MP, Chris Murray, who met with Rockstar on behalf of the workers. Murray noted that Rockstar initially refused to meet with him unless an NDA was signed, but the company relented following his refusal. Murray also stated that he was unconvinced by Rockstar's account of the firings.

Developer Expression Games has released the first gameplay trailer for Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, a hardcore 50v50 first-person shooter set during the Vietnam War. A follow-up to 2021's Hell Let Loose--which was inspired by the conflicts of World War 2--players will have to once again rely on tactical teamwork to survive.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will feature six new maps on launch day, each described by Expression Games as a mix of dense jungle, twisting deltas, and deadly open areas. You won't just be fighting on the ground either, as military helicopters serve multiple roles. From troop deployment to fire support, reconnaissance, and tactical drops, they're an invaluable tool in any match.

Players can also engage each other in naval combat, as heavily armed vessels such as the iconic US patrol boat and the PBR will be featured in the game. Maps are also riddled with tunnel networks constructed by the North Vietnamese army, and these offer strategic advantages for surprise attacks and troop movements.

Earlier this year, John Romero--the creator of Doom and Quake--announced that his next first-person shooter had been canceled. Although Romero and his company, Romero Games, didn't confirm that the project was a victim of Microsoft's layoffs and cutbacks, one of Romero Games' laid-off employees did. However, it appears the still-unnamed shooter isn't completely dead, according to Romero himself.

During his appearance at Salón del Videojuego de Madrid (via Eurogamer), Romero confirmed that the project is back on, and that it's been given a fresh redesign.

"We're not starting at ground zero," said Romero. "We can take pieces out of and put into a brand-new indie game. We have a lot of stuff we can put in the game. The design is completely different, but the team is very excited about the new design."

Cyberpunk 2077 fans can now own a piece of tech that feels and looks like something you'd find at Kiroshi Opticals in Night City. To celebrate the game's fifth anniversary, CD Projekt Red partnered with Viture on limited-edition XR glasses themed around Cyberpunk 2077. The Viture x Cyberpunk 2077 5th Anniversary Collector's Edition XR Glasses are numbered to 10,000 and available to purchase now for $549 on Viture's online storefront and at select major retailers.

Viture Luma Cyber XR Glasses combine the form factor of the Luma Pro ($499) with the technical enhancements found in the Luma Ultra ($599). Officially licensed collectible editions of tech and gaming products usually cost more than standard models, so it's pretty cool that the Luma Cyber XR Glasses cost $50 less than the Luma Ultra.

GameStop has released its latest earnings report, shining a light on how the video game retailer is performing in the market--and it was a mixed quarter for the company.

Revenue came in at $821 million, compared to $860.3 million during the same period last year, and short of Wall Street projections. Profit, however, soared from $17.4 million last year to $77.1 million for the latest period. GameStop's stock price sank after the earnings report came out, with many saying the revenue miss was to blame for the falling price.

Others, however, have said GameStop's strong profit-growth, along with having more than $8.8 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (up from $4.6 billion last year) is a sign of health. Additionally, GameStop's Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) costs were $221.4 million for the quarter, down from $282 million during the same period last year.

The next video game set for a film/TV adaptation has been announced, and it is developer RubberBandGames' sandbox game Wobbly Life.

The London-based developer has announced a deal with veteran Hollywood producer Adrian Askarieh and his Prime Universe Films company to develop Wobbly Life for film and TV. This does not mean that Wobbly Life will definitely become a film or a TV series, only that the company has secured the rights and may begin the development process.

Prime Universe previously produced the Hitman movies starring Timothy Olyphant and Rupert Friend. Askarieh is also attached to the in-development Hitman TV show in the works now.

Baldur's Gate 3 has been out for over two years now, but fans' enthusiasm for the sprawling RPG remains strong--as is the case with one fan who has spent untold hours documenting and quantifying all the spoken dialogue in the game.

Redditor Everwhite-moonlight has taken the time to catalogue the game's extensive spoken dialogue fans, calling the labor-intensive task a celebration of Larian's work. The finished spreadsheet arranges the characters in order from most to least speaking time, which reveals just how much our vampire friend Astarion loves to talk.

It's unsurprising that Amelia Tyler's Narrator, whose voice is ever-present through Baldur's Gate 3 as the game's pseudo-DM, has the most lines of dialogue, clocking in at a total of 14 hours and 43 minutes of speaking time. What is surprising is how (relatively) close behind her Astarion sits, with a whopping 13 hours and 6 minutes of dialogue for the Neil Newbon-voiced vampire companion.

It's been a busy week for industry speculation after Geoff Keighley started posting about a mysterious, glowing monolith in the middle of the California desert, which was later moved into Los Angeles. Now, it appears the monolith's mystery might have just been solved through a trademark filing.

Rumors that the monolith was erected to tease new Diablo 4 content, Elder Scrolls 6, God of War, or Lords of the Fallen 2 were all shot down by people in the know. While others speculated that it still could be related to The Elder Scrolls Online, or a new FromSoft game, it appears most likely that the statue is promoting a new Divinity title from Larian.

A trio of trademark filings were spotted up by MP1st, including a new Divinity logo and a symbol that looks suspiciously like the glowing one on Geoff Keighley's monolith. The familiar-looking trademarks come after Larian's publishing director said there aren't currently any plans for a Divinity: Original Sin 3, meaning the upcoming title may be a new Divinity game outside of the Original Sin prequel series.
