A Switch 2 exclusive will include a strange and questionable use of the system's GameShare feature, allowing up to four players to share control of the same character. Tokyo Scramble, a survival puzzle game about avoiding dinosaurs in an urban setting, was announced at the February Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, and it launches next week on February 11.

Published by Binary Haze Interactive, Tokyo Scramble has players control Anne as she attempts to survive an underground labyrinth beneath Tokyo after disaster strikes. It's populated with deadly creatures called Zino, which are really just dinosaurs. Gameplay footage shows a third-person perspective with no combat, with the action focusing on stealth and setting traps to incapacitate these stalking beasts.

But the gimmick showcased in the Direct is the option to share controls with other players through GameShare. Through wireless play, players can choose to control Anne's movement, actions, and even the camera. Traditionally a feature reserved for multiplayer titles, incorporating GameShare for a single-player game is a highly unusual use case.

Grand Theft Auto VI is set for release this November, and Rockstar's marketing efforts for the game will begin in earnest this summer. Now, the boss of Rockstar's owner has commented on what to expect from the marketing for GTA 6, and he said it's going to be a "challenge."

Speaking to CNBC, Strauss Zelnick of Take-Two said marketing a game like GTA 6--which already has enormous hype behind it--is a "challenge" because Rockstar and Take-Two want to be "delicate" with how they push the game.

"It has to feel like, you know, this is real. We're not selling hamburgers. We're selling this unique art form," he said, as reported by IGN.

K-Pop Demon Hunters was a surprise hit when it debuted on Netflix last year, and with toy companies rushing to catch up, Lego has announced that it'll be bringing the Huntrix team to life later this year. Lego K-Pop Demon Hunters sets are on the way, and it looks like the first kit will feature everyone's favorite blue-furred tiger from the demon realm, Derpy.

Lego's tease for the upcoming set consists solely of a fallen-over flower pot, with Derpy's paw hovering above it. Will it feature the hat-stealing magpie, Sussie, as well? Who knows, but Lego says that this kit is designed for both play and display.

Additional sets will roll out in 2027, but there's no word yet on what fans can expect. One possible clue could be the digital Huntrix minifigures that appeared in Lego Fortnite, which successfully captured the look and tone of Rumi, Zoe, and Mira.

Sony is the latest games company to release its earnings for Q3 2025, and unlike other players in the industry, the PlayStation manufacturer has come out surprisingly well. Where other companies are feeling the pressure from component shortages and dropping hardware sales, Sony's games segment results were lifted by strong first-party game sales and subscription revenue.

Sony isn't immune to the problems the rest of the industry have faced in the last year, reporting a 4% decrease in sales largely impacted by lower than expected console sales through the holiday season. This quarter was the first holiday period that didn't see console sales increase against the previous season, reporting the weakest holiday sales for PlayStation hardware in three years.

Notably, the PS5 received a price hike during 2025, implemented across the US, UK, Europe, and Australia prior to the holiday season. Sony still sold a total of 8 million consoles during the quarter, bringing the PlayStation 5's lifetime sales up to 92.1 million.
