• Releasing Cyberpunk 2077 In Its Poor State “Was For Sure Wrong,” CD Projekt Admits

  01-09-2026 21:08 via gamespot.com
  
  CD Projekt Red's RPG Cyberpunk 2077 infamously launched in December 2020 in such a poor technical state that Sony took the rare move to remove it from the PlayStation Store. Thousands of people refunded the game. CD Projekt joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski has now reflected on this, saying it "was for sure wrong" to launch the game in that state, but he pushed back against the theory that the studio did so to appease investors who wanted to see financial returns.Speaking to The Game Busines

• What is Cautionary Intel in Star Wars Zero Company?

  04-09-2026 12:41 via gamesradar.com
  
  Cautionary Intel in Star Wars Zero Company is offered as a reward for certain missions, but what does it mean, and what does it even do, especially when there appears to be a base upgrade for the Den with the exact same name? It's a bit confusing, in part because Zero Company doesn't actually show the effect of Cautionary Intel in any obvious way once you have it, but I'll explain what it does below and why it's useful.What does Cautionary Intel do in Star Wars Zero Company?(Image credit: EA)You

  04-09-2026 12:36 via gamesradar.com
  
  GTA 6 isn't even out yet, but it's already causing a ruckus in real-life Miami-Dade as the county's sheriff and a commissioner oppose a reported pitch for a marketing deal that'd temporarily transform parts of the area into Vice City. Late last month, it was reported (via The Miamian) that Miami-Dade County officials had approached GTA 6 maker Rockstar Games with a pitch deck proposing to turn locations such as the Miami International Airport, Metrorail stations, and other buildings into Vice Ci

• Anbernic just revamped its Nintendo DS clone, but I'm still itching for a cheaper 3DS handheld homage

  04-09-2026 12:34 via gamesradar.com
  
  Anbernic's take on the Nintendo DS is getting the "Plus" treatment, as the RG DS is back with enhanced specs. Compared to last year's model, the new version is set to be a "next-generation dual-screen handheld" with four times the resolution of the 2000s portable, a brand new interface designed for two screens, and even a stylus authentically tucked in at the side, but we're not in 3DS clone territory yet.The Anbernic RG DS Plus looks a bit more like a 3DS XL, but it's not gunning for that retro

  The Last of Us co-creator Neil Druckmann says that working on the series' HBO TV adaptation of the Naughty Dog game hasn't changed his approach to writing, but he's learned some lessons that have been brought into developing Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

• The Blood of Dawnwalker's biggest mod reworks the RPG's most anxiety-inducing mechanic, but not all are convinced you should use it: "People are too scared to make hard decisions"

  04-09-2026 12:21 via gamesradar.com
  
  Although The Blood of Dawnwalker was only just released late Wednesday this week, it's already spurred mods (because of course it has) – one of which controversially alters what's arguably the vampire RPG's core mechanic.In case you're not yet familiar with the game, The Blood of Dawnwalker features a pretty unforgiving time mechanic.

• Sekiro: No Defeat anime director pleads with fans to not watch the new trailer because it accidentally contains a huge spoiler

  04-09-2026 11:52 via gamesradar.com
  
  In a bizarre turn of events, it looks like the new trailer for upcoming anime Sekiro: No Defeat actually contains a huge spoiler, and the show's director Kenichi Kutsuna has told fans not to watch it. Ahead of its Japanese theatrical release, Sekiro: No Defeat shared a new one-minute teaser on September 3, titled 'The Battle in the Silvergrass Fields.'

  The Last of Us creator and previous co-showrunner of the HBO show Neil Druckmann has doubled down on having no involvement in the upcoming third season.

• GTA 6 Is Completely Changing How You Steal Cars

  03-09-2026 23:00 via gamespot.com
  
  Carjacking in Grand Theft Auto games has been, as the title denotes, a staple of the series. Up until now, it's largely been the same. While there have been more details and animations added over the years, the premise has remained that you'll walk up to a car, press Y or Triangle, throw the driver out, get in and drive away. If the car was parked, you'd execute the same button press to smash the window and steal it. With GTA 6, carjacking is getting a complete overhaul. Here, we've got all of t
