Grand Theft Auto VI

Few reveals at The Game Awards are as highly anticipated as the show’s closing presentation. However, that prime slot comes with a lot of pressure. It’s typically used for well-known series, major comebacks, or truly groundbreaking new games – titles that deserve to be the grand finale. This year, though, the closing showcase felt different than usual.

It’s Been Heavily Reworked Since The First Beta

Despite its initially simple appearance, this game has a surprising amount of depth. The Icelandic-inspired world isn’t just scenery; it’s a carefully created environment built with genuine passion. Now, with the release of the Enhanced Edition, any rough parts have been polished or completely reworked. This version truly shows the thought and care that went into every detail. The Enhanced Edition proves Echoes of the End wasn’t overlooked because it was a bad game, but because previous versions didn’t fully capture the developers’ vision.

Okay, so I just heard back about the legal request, and unfortunately, Judge Eccles denied it. Basically, the judge didn’t think they showed enough evidence to prove Rockstar was trying to stop people from unionizing – they needed to prove a strong likelihood of winning the case. What’s also frustrating is the judge said it’s harder to get a temporary ruling like this than it would be at a full trial, so the standards are even higher. It’s a tough break, honestly.

According to a Business Wire report, the game sold 10 million copies by the end of 2025. Sales have recently increased thanks to discounts on consoles and PC. For instance, the PS5 version was 20% off on the PS Store during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Nexon’s CEO, Junghun Lee, announced impressive sales for ARC Raiders and believes the game could become a key part of Nexon’s future. He added that the game’s success confirms Nexon is making good progress with its plans to expand internationally.

Even though it used the older PSVR headset, the VR version of RE7 was a standout experience. Because the game was played from a first-person view, it translated well to virtual reality, and the increased immersion made the Baker Estate even more terrifying. The standard version was already one of the scariest in the series, but VR added a whole new level of dread. What was normally frightening – like going into the basement and facing the moldy creatures – became truly horrifying in VR.

I was so excited when this game finally came out last November 13th, and it was a huge hit right away – over 500,000 copies sold in just one week! And it didn’t stop there, it sold another 300,000 over the Christmas holidays, which is amazing!

The game was eventually released on the PS5 as Microsoft adjusted its plans for consoles. However, it didn’t receive much positive feedback, mainly because it was short and didn’t offer a lot of gameplay.
