The full game news archive, newest first: the GTA 6 countdown, the Xbox Game Pass waves, the arrivals and the departures, and the scores the industry posts for the games everybody is about to play. Looking for verdicts instead of news? The review bench is that way.
GTA 6 pre-loading started today, nine days early and 212 GB deep. Xbox pre-loads open tonight at 7 PM ET, and the fans already digging through the locked files found multiplayer hiding in the labels.
Rockstar announced Grand Theft Auto VI: The Festival today: November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami, two stages, and a lineup pulled straight off the soundtrack. Travis Scott, Cardi B, Metro Boomin, and a Justice DJ set.
Warhammer Survivors lands on Game Pass tomorrow, November 10, day one. Auroch Digital built it with poncle, the Vampire Survivors crew, so the swarm is in very good hands.
Thronefall arrives on Game Pass Wednesday, November 11. A minimalist kingdom builder where you fortify by day and lead the defense yourself at night. No menus wearing a trench coat.
GTA 6 has no score yet, and anyone posting one made it up. Here is the real bar, checked on Metacritic and OpenCritic: IV at 98, V at 97, III at 97, Vice City and San Andreas at 95.
Everything a player needs for GTA 6 launch week in one place: pre-load windows on PlayStation 5 and Xbox, the 212 GB download, the midnight local unlock on November 19, and the trailer watch order.
The first open world escape room game landed on Game Pass November 5, day one, with online and local co-op. Escape Academy 2 is the wave's best party trick.
Rockstar opened the GTA 6 Launch Gallery today: 39 new screenshots of Jason, Lucia, Vice City, and the Leonida wilds, two weeks before the November 19 launch. I went through every one. Here are the shots that matter.
Xbox Game Pass Wave 1 for November 2026: Warhammer Survivors, Football Manager 2027 Console, Thronefall, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, and a Banjo-Kazooie nostalgia bomb, all with dates.
Four official looks, four different jobs. Trailer 1 proved the world, Trailer 2 proved the leads, the 26 minute Extended Look proved the game, and the Launch Trailer proved the score. All four live on the Moe Train's Tracks trailers page.
GTA 6 is weeks from landing, so here is the road in: Grand Theft Auto started in 1997 as a top-down cop game in Scotland, and GTA V grew into the second best-selling game ever made.
San Andreas turned 22 yesterday, and I am saying it one more time: CJ is the true GOAT of this series, the game played like the best 90s gangsta movies ever made, and GTA V never touched it. GTA 6 gets its shot on November 19.
Ninety leaked clips, one teenager with a Fire Stick, two delays, and a thirteen year wait. I have not watched a second of the leaked GTA 6 footage, and I am not starting now. Here is why the leaks hurt the fans, the builders, and the game itself.
