GTA 6 PC date surfaces, Destiny 1 on PC teased, and a bad AI remaster

Grand Theft Auto 6 is apparently heading to PC in early next year, according to a new report — and with the console release next month already generating enough buzz that outlets are asking readers whether they plan to take time off work or school for it, a Vice City Collector's Edition is also now up for pre-order at JB Hi-Fi in Australia. The PC window, if accurate, would close a gap that has historically frustrated Rockstar fans who waited years after console launches for previous entries.

Bungie's new boss offered a notable aside for longtime fans, casually sharing footage of Destiny 1 running on PC at 60 FPS in 4K — the product of a fan project rather than any official effort. It is the kind of thing that gets the community talking without constituting an announcement. Xbox, for its part, launched Xbox Labs, a new initiative aimed at turning emerging ideas into real experiences, with an explicit focus on AI-powered modding among its early interests.

An AI-upscaled remaster of Total War: Shogun 2 is drawing sharp criticism in Steam reviews, compounded by the original being delisted alongside it — a combination that has gone down poorly. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse reviews are now in for those tracking that release, and Resident Evil 4 Remake on Nintendo Switch 2 has earned the distinction of being described as Capcom's first disappointment of the year. Nintendo also expanded Switch Online's GBA library with three additional titles and pushed a 4.0.1 patch for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
