GTA 6 Region Lock Backlash, Xbox Losing on Hardware, and a Halo Embarrassment

A Rockstar developer has spoken out against GTA 6's reported region lock, calling it "garbage" — a rare moment of internal dissent that will do little to reassure players already anxious about the game's rollout. The criticism lands alongside a rough stretch for Xbox: the platform is reportedly losing money on every console it sells due to an AI-powered RAM cost crunch, and Halo: Campaign Evolved has drawn attention for playing best on PlayStation — an awkward headline for a platform whose shooter franchise helped define it.

Capcom has confirmed that Pragmata will likely get a sequel after what the company describes as staggering sales, a notable vote of confidence for a title that spent years in development limbo. The Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos remaster was announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, and PC, offering a revival of the late-90s platformer for a new generation. And a two-person team has become one of Steam's top 15 best-selling games just 24 hours after launch, pulling in $360,000 — a striking reminder of what a small studio can do.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shipped a new cel-shaded suit that fans have been quick to dismiss, with comparisons to cheap CGI and Spy Kids circulating widely. Marvel Rivals continues its Doomsday build-up with an Avengers: Age of Ultron mode, while Fortnite is staging a Springfield crossover with a surprise John Wick appearance. Silent Hill: Townfall offered new story details, placing the game in a remote Scottish town on the cusp of the internet age.
