    GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek says the full game build drops if its meme coin hits $30 million market cap

    GTA 6 leaker account Cyberleek said in an October 10 notice on its website that it will release the full game build, including the complete story mode played to the end, if its meme coin reaches a $30 million market cap. It also demanded that Rockstar put out a disc-based PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version and issue a public apology. The account had posted about 25 minutes of new gameplay footage earlier this week, after going quiet in late August when it appeared to withdraw $250,000 worth of its meme coin. Rockstar and parent company Take-Two subpoenaed Discord and Microsoft in August over the spread of the leaked videos, with no update since.

The piece notes Microsoft had already decided to drop an almost-finished PS5 version and return to console exclusives, and that Microsoft has not responded to the estimates while maintaining the game will stay an Xbox console exclusive.

    Circana says the US console hardware market is in its most precarious position since the early 80s

    Market research firm Circana says the US console hardware market is in its most precarious position "since the early 80s." Year-to-date figures through August show Xbox hardware unit sales down 33% year on year and PlayStation down 25%, an all-time low for Xbox and PlayStation's lowest since 2013. Circana attributes the US price increases mainly to component shortages caused by AI data centers, with the average Xbox console selling for $529 in 2026 through August, 26% higher than a year ago, and PlayStation at $597, 20% higher.

    Don't Worry, This AAA Minesweeper Game Isn't Real

    Writer and programmer Mike Lacher has created a fully playable browser parody called Triple-A Minesweeper, which dresses up regular Minesweeper with pretentious title cards for Unreal Engine, Nvidia, Bink Video, and Wwise. The main character, "Sweeper," repeats lines like "I gotta sweep these mines" while receiving calls from characters including Nora, The Don, and DJ Dan, drawing inspiration from Grand Theft Auto 5, Metal Gear Solid, and Cyberpunk 2077. The game can be completed and triggers a twist ending.

    Wardogs Dev Holding Back Certain Features Because of Xbox Series S, but Working to 'Very Low-End Hardware' Has Its Benefits

    Bulkhead, developer of Wardogs, has admitted that the Xbox Series S's limitations have kept certain features out of the game, with CEO Joe Brammer citing it as one reason the game lacks dynamic weather. The rain feature coming this month will persist throughout a match rather than rolling in and clearing mid-game. Co-founder Howard Philpott said Series S also gives the team a baseline that helps optimize performance for lower-spec PCs, and Wardogs Season 2 launches October 15.

    Analyst Estimates Gears of War: E-Day Sold 230,000 Copies as Game Pass Players Reach 1.7 Million

    Data firm Alinea Analytics estimates Gears of War: E-Day has sold about 230,000 copies, with 168,000 on Steam and 62,000 across Xbox console and PC, while 1.7 million players accessed it through Game Pass.

The estimates have not been corroborated by Microsoft, and Elliott concludes Microsoft may have to pull day-one first-party releases from the service, as it announced for Call of Duty earlier this year.
