Short factual notes on what shipped: releases, cancellations, studio changes and the numbers behind them.
Rockstar told Edge that the total landmass of Leonida is nearly as large as the playable maps of GTA IV, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 put together, and that the map is roughly twice the size of GTA 5's.
EA closed BioWare on October 21 and cancelled the next Mass Effect, and now the publisher is selling N7 Day merchandise for a series that no longer has a studio.
Todd Howard revealed The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel in the Bethesda Game Studios 40th anniversary video, five days after The Verge leaked the same name, and the studio says the game is set in Hammerfell. There is still no release date.
The OpenAI CEO called home PCs a bad allocation of scarce DRAM, spent four days in a meme storm for it, and answered by renaming himself Ram Altman on X.
The dissolution notice is in the Japanese official gazette, and the Steam page for Gang of Dragon still lists a developer that no longer exists.
The Game Awards FAQ puts the nomination cutoff at November 20 at 9 p.m. PT, and GTA 6 launches November 19, so the biggest release of the year qualifies with one calendar day to spare.
The Switch 2 remake of the 1998 classic opened at 95 on OpenCritic and 96 on Metacritic, though a wave of Amazon preorder delays kept some physical copies from arriving on launch day.
Rockstar confirmed preload windows and a 212GB install for the November 19 console launch, and a reported Q1 2027 PC release would be the fastest PC port Rockstar has ever done.
The indie storefront wiped mass-produced AI uploads, doubled down on disclosure, and gave buyers a filter that Steam has never offered.
Four Nanosuits, two pairs of glasses and two pairs of earrings. The only fix listed is a side quest that could stall after two Memory Sticks.
