Kinetic Games announced that Phasmophobia has sold more than 30 million copies across PC and console since launching in Early Access in 2020. Its annual Crimson Eye Halloween event is back and runs until 1st November, bringing blood moon weather to a rotating set of maps that makes ghosts faster and drains sanity more quickly while paying out more. Community goals unlock the Beholder ID Card and Badge and the Blood Moon Trophy, while personal goals unlock the Blood Moon Charm, a seasonal t-shirt, and Crimson Eye trophy upgrades. CEO and game director Daniel Knight said his initial goal was to sell 1000 units in the first year, and that the 1.0 release is slated for the second half of 2027.
GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek posted a second roughly five-minute video on ResetEra showing Lucia parachuting off a rooftop, a day after threatening to release a full playable build. The clip shows Lucia using an ATM in Vice City with a $15,000 limit and a Buckme logo, and a dev menu is visible, so the naked Lucia may be a debug feature rather than open-world gameplay. CyberLeek says the full build will be released if their cryptocurrency coin reaches a $30 million market cap, while Rockstar has called the leaks heartbreaking and parent company Take-Two is seeking the leaker's identity. GTA 6 is due out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 19th November.
Forza Horizon 6's PS5 port launches on 26th January and developer Playground has confirmed a boxed physical release. Like most Microsoft games, however, a download will still be required, and the disc will likely be little more than a launcher. The game takes up almost 150GB on Xbox Series X|S, and the PS5 version will likely occupy a similar amount of space.

Phasmophobia has confirmed 30 million sales, and its Crimson Eye Halloween event has returned. Eurogamer reported the news.
A group calling itself Cyberleek has threatened to leak a working build of GTA 6, including the full story mode played to the end and credits, if its cryptocurrency reaches a 30 million market cap. The group has posted unauthorized GTA 6 gameplay clips for nearly two months, including 25 minutes of new footage this week, and says its leaks protest Rockstar's decision to sell digital pre-orders without a physical version. Take-Two has filed multiple subpoenas to Discord seeking information on specific servers and users, and withdrew a subpoena request to YouTube.
A Reddit user relays a leaked clip said to show Lucia free-roaming in GTA 6, driving a vintage car and walking the streets naked while NPCs do not react, which the poster reads as an older build. The clip mostly shows Lucia's hand-to-hand combat, including backhand slaps and wrestling moves that differ from Jason's style, plus environmental interactions such as pushing an NPC against a wall. It also shows an ATM deposit mechanic with a $15,000 limit and a parachuting side mission called Stunt Promoter - Directed Stunt 06 at the Pike Financial Center, promoting a crypto coin called Dacity Coin for Auda-City, with Lucia dying in one failed attempt, and ends with a new BuckMe advertisement cutscene.
"We have to go a different path" - Krafton thinks PUBG https://Ded.Net's pulpy gameshow hyperviolence and roguelite twist can make it the next big battle royale
Krafton's Wisconsin studio PUBG Madison is developing PUBG Ded.Net, a third-person battle royale shooter in which players are contestants in an ultra-violent gameshow. Its twist is a pick-three-style roguelite system that carries across consecutive matches, where upgrades and injuries from one game affect the next. Creative director Dave Curd says chasing that power-up fantasy is meant to take the edge off losing.

Pragmata lead producer Masachika Kawata said Capcom at one point considered making the new sci-fi game "a little bit more horror focused." The idea was dropped because Pragmata is a new IP and horror would overlap too much with Resident Evil, though horror elements such as human-looking robots remain in the game.

A hacker group called Cyberleek claims on its website that it will release a playable build of GTA 6, including the full story mode played to the end and credits, once it reaches a 30 million market cap. Earlier this week the group seemingly leaked around 25 minutes of footage, including a look at co-protagonist Jason, and said Take-Two could end the matter by printing physical discs and issuing a public apology. It remains unclear whether Cyberleek actually holds a playable build, and the author suspects the whole thing may be a bluff aimed at making money.

A new version of the PCSX2 emulator called PS5SX2 can be installed on jailbroken PlayStation 5 consoles, and version 2.01 lets users dump physical PS2 discs directly to the SSD to emulate them. Because the PS5's disc drive cannot read CDs, blue-tinted PS2 discs and PS1 discs cannot be used. Lead coder Swordpdf has also announced that a PS5SX3 emulator for dumping PS3 games from disc is in the works.
An unused epilogue from Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has leaked, set in a London tavern and featuring Adewale and Miko, the leader of the British Assassin Brotherhood who is later killed by Haytham in Assassin's Creed III. It takes place 5 years after the ending of Black Flag Resynced.
A GTA 6 leaker known as CyberLeek has reportedly threatened to release a complete, playable build of the game from start to finish. The threat was posted on CyberLeek's website after the leaker shared 25 minutes of footage earlier this week, which Eurogamer has seen and which appears legitimate. CyberLeek says the build will go out if their cryptocurrency coin reaches a $30 million market cap and claims it can be played to the end credits, while Rockstar's parent company Take-Two has been hunting for the leaker's identity. GTA 6 is due out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 19th November.
