After the disaster that was the Streamer Awards, it's good to see a high-quality production Award Show centered around video games. This year was loaded with amazing games, but Clair Obscur Expedition seemed to have a lasting impression on gamers around the world. No matter how people felt about the game, it had the whole industry talking, so it was bound to take home some awards.

The rise of artificial intelligence appears to be progressing at a rapid pace, but as AI grows, it consumes more resources. The surge in demand for RAM by Ai data centers has led to the price of RAM increasing to staggering numbers. This will cause a ripple effect across several industries as the prices of laptops, tablets, and gaming PCs will increase.

Steam announced that its new PC console hybrid will be released in 2026. Besides the release date, no other details were revealed during the announcement video. As far as specs go, Valve claims it will be way more powerful than the Steam Deck. With the current batch of consoles, handhelds, and PC's out now, where will the Steam Machine fit?

Grand Theft Auto was delayed again, and to be honest, we weren't necessarily surprised. What was interesting was the rumors of why it was delayed. Some sources claim that the game is complete, but Rockstar wants to ensure that everything functions as intended. Other news sources claim that union-busting could be the cause of the delay.

Microsoft is putting the squeeze on Xbox to produce what most are calling an unattainable profit margin. The industry average is between 17-22 percent, but Microsoft CFO Amy Hood wants them to hit 30 percent.

We never thought Ai would make it this far, but we also never thought we would see Halo on PlayStation 5, and yet here we are! Next year, PlayStation fans will be introduced to the Master Chief himself, but considering this is just a story mode campaign with no multiplayer, will anyone care to even give it a try?

Battlefield 6 is here, and so far, it's doing very well. The hype from the Beta has seemed to carry over to the release, but only a fool would count Call of Duty out. Both of these franchises have been around for quite some time, with each gaining a loyal fanbase. With Call of Duty dropping annually, they somehow always manage to captivate the audience and get them excited for a new release, no matter how mediocre the game is, until now.

Xbox Game Pass seems to be taking steps in the wrong direction. Around a year ago, it seemed like Game Pass and Xbox were headed in the right direction, but with the back-to-back price hikes on the Series X and Game Pass, people are saying it's over for Xbox. Tell us in the comments, will you guys be getting rid of your Game Pass now that the price has increased???

This State of Play gave us a glimpse into what we can expect for 2026, and it seems like we are in for another great year of gaming! We discussed a few games that we're interested in, including Wolverine. Wolverine looks great, but what we didn't expect was the level of gore and violence that was shown.

Borderlands 4 is the game that we've all been waiting for. Unfortunately, the game has various issues on all consoles, including PC, which is making it damn near unplayable. Meanwhile, the CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford has been online defending Borderlands lackluster launch tooth and nail. Also, we have an in-depth conversation about Nintendo Mafia.
