Notorious GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek has taken down their website sharing gameplay clips and says they won't publicly release a full build of the game or post more leaks. They claimed the build won't be uploaded because their cryptocoin didn't reach $30 million, and denied the operation was a crypto rug pull. Cyberleek also warned that story spoilers remain and that removing them would trip a dead man's switch.

Summer Eternal, a studio founded by former Disco Elysium developers, announced the physics-driven RPG Red Rooster. It will launch first on PC, with PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 versions to follow, and no release date was given. Players take the role of white-collar inmate Redrick Roost as an arson investigator looking into a string of fires tied to his brother, the city's fire chief.
GameSpot's Steve Watts lists six main changes from his hands-on time with the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He says the new art style won him over quickly in motion, with characters keeping their exaggerated doll-like look and more detailed clothing textures, while Kokiri Forest and the dungeons have been visibly reworked. The version also adds full voice acting, which puts pressure on the performers to carry the original's characters.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake adds a dedicated jump button, and the author's hands-on time suggests the change is a good one. The demo covered Kokiri Forest, the Deku Tree, Hyrule Field, Hyrule Castle Town, and part of the Forest Temple with adult Link, where jumping was mostly used for small gaps and climbing vines. The author says the button felt natural and that modern games feel lacking without one.
In the Ocarina of Time remake, Hyrule Field appears roughly the same size as the original and remains largely empty, aside from the spokes leading out from the hub and Lon Lon Ranch at its center. A few more irregular hills and rock formations add texture, and the default run speed is a little faster. The author says this fits the remake's goal of faithfully recreating the original.
An IGN editor played about an hour of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and found it is not a 1:1 remake, adding expanded dialogue, revamped puzzles, and a more detailed art style. The preview covered roughly the first 90 minutes of the adventure and the Forest Temple, the first dungeon as Adult Link, running at 60 fps on Nintendo Switch 2. The piece also describes a theatrical style, with loading screens between areas framed as set changes.
An IGN writer played over an hour of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2 and listed 29 changes from the N64 original. They include a starting wallet limit of 200 rupees, a third-person camera in Castle Town with no loading screens, reworked Forest Temple puzzles, and expanded miniboss fights and dialogue. The writer notes this is not the official preview and warns of original-game spoilers; the remake releases on November 5.
Amazon has cut the physical PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of Borderlands 4 to $19.91, a 60% discount and the lowest price yet at the retailer. The deal beats the game's price during the most recent Prime Big Deal Days sale, ahead of Black Friday. IGN's review gave it an 8/10, calling it a "badass open-world evolution" of the looter-shooter series.

Nintendo released an overview trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2, showing gameplay from the remake. The trailer features the new Hall of Fallen Foes, where players can view statues of defeated enemies, and Ocarina features that let players hum a tune or play a real ocarina while Link mimics it in-game. It also briefly shows Zelda Notes and upcoming amiibo, with existing Zelda amiibo adding items like hearts, bombs, and rupees. The game launches on Switch 2 on 5th November 2026.
Nintendo Life published over 20 minutes of gameplay footage from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake on Switch 2, based on roughly two hours of hands-on time. The author notes that the ladder leading up to the Kokiri Sword was not present in the N64 original or the 3DS remake. The game launches on 5th November 2026, and spoiler-sensitive players may want to wait until then.

Arc Raiders' PvE test is finally here and it's the perfect reason to jump back in
Casual game marketplace Legacy Games will shut down its online store on December 31, 2026. After the store closes, disc download codes will no longer be redeemable and points, rewards, and Hero Club memberships will end, with the website and servers closing on February 28, 2027. Players will no longer be able to re-download previous purchases, though installed games can still be played on the same device.
Rockstar co-head of development Rob Nelson told Bloomberg that one reason for GTA 6's delay was the 'horrifying' number of NPCs needed to populate Leonida, which led the company to set up an entire studio in LA to handle the workload. Fellow co-head Phil Hooker said the team shifted the date once it became clear some areas wouldn't make it, since hitting the schedule would mean shipping a game they didn't want to make. GTA 6 was originally slated for May and delayed to November.
Arc Raiders' PvE test is now live, after Embark teased a temporary PvE toggle because a large part of its audience favoured a more passive approach. In the author's hands-on, Pendola Pass felt freer to explore and fight arcs without fearing other players, and nearby raiders helped when things went wrong. The author plans to play almost exclusively this mode while it lasts.
PlayStation has announced a limited-edition PS5 controller themed after Gran Turismo to mark the series' upcoming 30th anniversary, priced at £74.99 / $84.99 / €84.99 and releasing in limited quantities on 10th December 2026. Pre-orders open 22nd October 2026 at 10am local time, and the pad keeps the standard white shell while adding themed visuals, carbon fibre-look thumbstick surrounds, and racing stripes on the touchpad. Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi commented on the PlayStation Blog, which also detailed the first part of the Spec IV update for Gran Turismo 7 out today.
Cyberleek, the leaker who has spent weeks posting Grand Theft Auto 6 footage, released a video supposedly showing parts of the game's ending and indicated the leaks may be done. Eurogamer found the footage less dramatic than initially suggested, appearing not to be the ending sequence, though its location could be a spoiler. Cyberleek said the 200GB build would not be released because the coin's $30m market cap target was not reached; the memecoin has fallen to $1.2m three days after peaking at $7.8m. GTA 6's official launch is 19th November.
Nintendo's new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake mostly shows prettier versions of the Nintendo 64 game's locales and boss fights, while revealing a new addition called the Hall of Fallen Foes. The museum-like space displays statues of defeated enemies with descriptions and locations, and lets players refight the game's bosses while tracking their best times. The remake launches on Switch 2 on November 5 as the series' 40th anniversary tentpole, with a live-action film starring Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason due next year and no full trailer yet.
Game Informer's Brian Shea played over an hour of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, covering both Young Link and Adult Link sections. He describes it as a full remake with new visuals, fully voiced cutscenes, and additions like a jump button, sprint out of a roll, and a freely controlled camera. He also saw a new Threads of Time system that recaps the story on a tapestry and offers hints; the game launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 5.
Why this: The author played the Ocarina of Time remake early and reports first-hand on visuals, voice acting, and control changes, helping readers gauge how extensive the remake is.

The author played three sections of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake at a demo event, covering young Link in Kokiri Forest and the Deku Tree, his departure into Hyrule Field and Hyrule Castle Town, and adult Link at the start of the Forest Temple. He says the remake largely strikes the right balance between reverence for the original and modernization, with the most striking change being its presentation, including an angular doll-like look for Link and the Kokiri children and detailed clothing that reads better in motion.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's new remake brings gorgeous visuals, modernized controls, and quality-of-life features that help the classic shine again. The author was skeptical that the game needed another remake but came away convinced.
The Killing Stone will launch on October 21 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
