Sony's State of Play quietly revealed every major game is dodging September 2025, confirming GTA 6's gravitational pull on the industry's launch strategy.

Sony's summer showcase delivered new game reveals and release dates, but the biggest story was what wasn't shown: Grand Theft Auto 6.

A high-profile exit note accuses Paramount's Skydance of sacrificing journalistic integrity for political favor, raising questions about media ownership and editorial independence.

Overcrowding, lack of sanitation, and state absence create a perfect storm for a deadly outbreak in eastern Congo.

Sony drops a bombshell at State of Play: the next God of War centers on Laufey, not Kratos, signaling a major creative pivot for the franchise.

The new trailer confirms the sequel's focus on a specific character's past, setting the stage for a deep dive into the fictional world's complex lore.

The upcoming showcase reveals the critical pivot point for PlayStation, addressing falling live-service bets and rising hardware costs.
