GTA Online still pulling in absurd money more than a decade on should make every gamer pause, because it shapes everything from game budgets to subscription pricing. We start lighter though, jumping back into Fortnite duos for the first time in ages and immediately turning into two blokes chasing quests, rivals points, and a laugh while getting shot at from every angle. It’s chaotic, nostalgic, and a good reminder that gaming feels better when you’re not doing it alone.

Then we get properly nerdy with a full Microsoft Rewards points update. We walk through the daily routine, the weekly bonuses, how the points translate into real GBP value, and what it takes to realistically save towards the next Xbox console. If you’ve ever wondered whether Xbox points are worth the effort, or how people are effectively funding games and hardware, we put the numbers on the table and talk about what happens when Microsoft tweaks the system.

After that we swap recommendations and quick reviews, from the bizarre brilliance of Thank Goodness You’re Here to early thoughts on Replaced, plus a shout for Mini Shot Adventures as a seriously moreish little Game Pass gem. We close with the week’s gaming news: rumours around Game Pass pricing and future tiers, BAFTA Games Awards 2026 winners, Metro 2039’s reveal, new Xbox Series X|S update features, and what PlayStation Plus is offering this month.
