GTA 6 PC Release Set for Q1 2027, Shortening Console Gap

GamesBeat reports that Rockstar Games plans to release Grand Theft Auto VI on PC in the first quarter of 2027, shortly after its November 19 console launch. This marks a significantly shorter gap than previous titles, potentially driven by the desire to support the upcoming GTA Online multiplayer mode. While Xbox has secured streaming rights for the game, the deal is not exclusive and does not extend to PC streaming, limiting the impact on cloud gaming adoption.

NBA 2K25 to End Online Services by Year-End, Leaving Only Offline Modes

Take-Two Interactive has announced that NBA 2K25 will be delisted from digital storefronts on October 30, 2026, with its online servers shutting down permanently on December 31, 2026. Following the server closure, multiplayer and online-dependent modes such as MyCareer and MyTeam will become unplayable starting January 1, 2027. Players who own the game will still be able to redownload it and access offline modes, including Play Now, MyNBA, The W, and MyWNBA. This decision follows a two-year trend of 2K delisting older NBA titles, despite a recent multiyear partnership expansion with the NBA that launched the NBA Take-Two Media venture. The game, which launched in September 2024, is part of a series that has sold over 150 million units globally.

Discord, a mole and a 10% milestone: the Rockstar union-busting tribunal
