Xbox eyes GTA 6 streaming exclusivity as Kojima nods at P.T. revival

Xbox has reportedly secured exclusive cloud streaming rights to GTA 6 at launch, a deal that could make the game playable on PC via streaming before it arrives there by any other means. The report, corroborated by multiple outlets, would mark a significant win for Microsoft's cloud gaming ambitions and puts GTA 6 at the center of platform politics well ahead of its release.

Hideo Kojima acknowledged a fan-made PC port of P.T. that runs natively on the platform — a rare public nod from the creator toward a project that keeps one of gaming's most famous lost demos alive. The original was pulled from the PlayStation Store over a decade ago and has never been officially re-released. Separately, Insomniac's Wolverine PS5 received an update allowing players to toggle the game's controversial fart trails during story sequences, resolving a complaint that had drawn outsized attention since launch.

Pokémon HOME updated to version 4.1.0, adding compatibility for FireRed and LeafGreen — a long-requested feature for players looking to move older-generation catches into the modern ecosystem. Konami also announced the composer behind Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, adding some concrete detail to a project that has otherwise remained tightly under wraps. And a storage unit containing what's described as priceless video game history was sold off to collectors, a quiet loss for preservation efforts that rarely makes headlines until it's too late.
