In today's Daily Fix:GamesBeat is reporting that Grand Theft Auto 6's PC release could be as soon as Q1 2027, which would start around April of next year. If true, that would mean GTA 6 on PC would launch only five months after the PS5 and Xbox versions. In other news, Sony has revealed the God of War: Laufey collector's edition. For $150, you get a statue, some fortune-telling cards, and a few other trinkets...but no game. This appears to be a trend with big Triple-A games to not include even a digital download with expensive collector's sets (ahem, GTA 6's $400 collector's edition). And speaking of collector's editions, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is getting a $300 collector's edition, and yes, you're getting the movie on 4K, Blu-ray, and digital download. That set has already sold out.

In today's Daily Fix:Analytics firm Alinea has revealed sales numbers for Marvel's Wolverine. Roughly 35% of global sales for the game were physical disc copies, and in Europe physical sales accounted for 51% of sales. But it's probably too late for the "no disc no buy" movement as Sony has not budged from its plans to eventually stop producing phsyical game discs for first-party games.

CD Projekt is involved, but there are no details on story, cast, or director yet.Presented by Universal Orlando Resort, and its newest theme park, Universal Epic Universe.

In today's Daily Fix:Resident Evil Requiem's DLC plans reportedly feature a story centered around series villain Oswell E. Spencer.

In related news, ex-PlayStation Boss Shawn Layden thinks Sony killing off discs is a step in the wrong direction, despite agreeing with the majority of customers who buy games digitally.

In today's special episode of the Daily Fix:GTA 6's massive marketing push will continue right up to the game's launch (and likely beyond), with the Miami Heat celebrating 'A Night in Vice City' on November 18th, the day before the game drops. The Heat's arena, the Kaseya Center, has already changed their branding via giant signage on the roof visible from planes, and there will be Vice City-themed merch available. In related news, a Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer is stirring the pot again with comments about GTA 6's price. And James Gunn's DCU is safe (for now) from the WB-Paramount merger.

In today's Daily Fix:The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (or the ESRB to you laymen), has finally slapped the M for Mature rating on Grand Theft Auto 6. Based on that extended gameplay look on Netflix, GTA 6 will be hitting all the hallmarks of an M-rated game: violence, sexual content, alcohol use, etc. So something for everyone. In other news, 007 First Light's first DLC has dropped, and it's free for all. It adds a New Game Plus mode, photo mode, a new difficulty, and new missions in the TacSim mode. And speaking of DLC, Crimson Desert's Charting the Unknown expansion has been delayed.

In today's Daily Fix:The developers at Rockstar Games were all hard at work researching for Grand Theft Auto 6, and that includes the arduous and time-consuming task of visiting strip clubs. For no other reason to be as accurate as possible for the game. No other reason at all. In other news, Switch 2 owners can apparently claim a copy of The Witcher 3 Remastered for free, provided you know someone with a physical copy of the Switch 1 version. There's a good chance CD Projekt RED will find a way to patch this out, so claim it while you can. And finally, Capcom has a plan for when their remakes catch up to the modern games. With a Code Veronica remake already announced—and assuming they don't do an RE Zero and another RE1 remake—they only have Resident Evils 5 and 6 left.

In today's Daily Fix:Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has been MIA since its 2024 reveal at The Game Awards, but developer Naughty Dog says that will change next year. The game will get a full reveal—and maybe even a release date—sometime in 2027, and studio head Neil Druckmann asked for fans' patience while the devs 'cook for just a little bit longer.' In other news, former PlayStation Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida thinks Sony and Nintendo need to hang onto the the current generation of consoles for as long as they can. Skyrocketing electronics component prices will likely put any new console out of reach for a lot of gamers, and there seems to be no rush to move on from the troubled PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 generation. And finally, Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie adaptation was such a big hit, it boosted sales of some of the older game titles. Resident Evils 2 and 4 saw a 50% spike in sales on the PS5, no doubt also helped by a recent sale on those games.
