Following the cancellation and Davies’ departure, Deadline has reported further on the show’s struggles and the obstacles that are in its way after speaking with several industry insiders and producers. The biggest takeaway is that Doctor Who will not be back anytime soon. Of course, it wasn’t expected that it’d return in 2027 after this latest news, but 2028 is presented as the earliest possible return year, with one producer predicting it could be gone for as many as five years. That would be the longest gap between seasons since the show returned in 2005.

The game has sold over 103,000 physical copies in the US, which is a solid number. Globally, it’s performed even better, selling 1.5 million copies in just nine weeks.

To be clear, when we say ‘Summer Game Fest’ here, we mean all the gaming presentations from last week – including both the State of Play and the Nintendo Direct.

For Xbox Series X/S users who make heavy use of the console’s social features, the update will now make it easier to find mutual friends. Viewing another player’s profile now reveals how many mutual friends you share with them.

We’ll talk more about that later. Right now, let’s get you up to speed on pre-ordering E-Day, starting with a pretty surprising announcement…

This could involve simple changes like capitalizing “Xbox,” avoiding the display of competitor logos like PlayStation’s, and, crucially, focusing on exclusive games. While the first two points might seem minor, the most prominent request on the recent Xbox Play Voice forum is a clear demand: bring back exclusive titles.

Zulu and Makva accompany Skif on his journey through the new regions, including what appears to be the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The former is part of Duty and seemingly has a “beast” inside of him, while the latter, a Freedom member, is “looking for something” but “can’t find it.” At the very least, they seem capable of cooperation, however short-lived it may end up being.

Okay, so I was pretty shocked to hear that Gears of War: E-Day is going to be an Xbox exclusive. It seems like Xbox is really shifting things up, and their CEO, Asha Sharma, is calling it a “reset.” They are bringing back console exclusives, which is cool for some, but it sounds like games like Fable and the new Halo: Campaign Evolved will still come out on everything. The big takeaway though? This might be the last Halo game ever released on PlayStation. Seriously! It’s a little worrying, honestly.

For decades, the Department of Defense and WRDEX have kept proof of alien life a secret. Now, the aliens aren’t attacking – they’re asking us to reveal their existence. They’ve chosen Emily Blunt’s character, Margaret Fairchild, and Josh O’Connor’s Daniel Kellner, to share the truth with the world. The climax unfolds at the KCXE news studio, where an actual alien – believed to be In Vivo 17 – arrives with a message for all of humanity. But what does that message contain?

This organization has a long history of revealing unannounced games before their official announcements. If a game appears on the GRAC list, it’s a strong sign that it’s legitimate and an official reveal is likely coming soon.
