Xbox has revealed its full Gamescom 2025 lineup, split over two days of broadcasts, featuring top AAA titles, indies, and possible surprises.

Call of Duty Mobile Zombie Update Season 8 is shaping up to be one of the game’s most exciting yet. From potential zombie map revivals and the return of BR Night Mode to quality‑of‑life improvements like loadout flexibility and Gulag adjustments, Season 8 is packed with fan‑focused changes. The free AN94 skin is just the cherry on top for dedicated players.

Rockstar Games has confirmed that GTA 6 is not the only Rockstar project in development. While GTA 6 remains the main priority, other undisclosed games are also in the works. Speculation points toward a next-gen upgrade of Red Dead Redemption 2 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the long-rumored Bully remake. CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed that parallel development efforts are happening, keeping the anticipation high for both GTA fans and the broader gaming community. GTA 6 is set to launch on May 26, 2026, but we might see more surprises before then.

In a 24‑hour Grow a Garden challenge, a player went from a single carrot to Kitsune — worth 25 quadrillion — without spending Robux. The journey included dozens of trades, use of rich servers, and Discord deals, ending with a final Raccoon + Disco trade that secured the rarest pet in the game.

Leaked Halo API data suggests two new Halo projects and a multiplayer beta are in the works, with one likely headed to PlayStation 5. The information, uncovered by grunt api and reported by Rebs Gaming, hints at a major shift in Xbox’s approach to exclusives.

Sonic the Hedgehog may be joining PUBG Mobile as a Companion in Update 4.0. The leak suggests a limited-time event with unique rewards and missions, similar to previous collaborations. While not confirmed, the credible source makes this one of the most anticipated updates yet.

The Battlefield 6 menu UI has ignited debate in the gaming community. Despite high player counts, many argue the interface looks and feels too much like Call of Duty HQ — clunky, unoriginal, and without Battlefield’s unique identity. While a minority of players enjoy its console-friendly simplicity, others see it as a lazy design choice. The controversy recalls similar debates around Destiny’s cursor-based console menu system. With the full release approaching, it’s unlikely DICE will make big changes, leaving players divided over whether the UI is a step forward or a frustrating misstep.

Gen Z gamers spending less on video games is now a clear industry trend. From January to April 2025, spending fell by 13%, with game purchases alone dropping 25%. The combination of higher prices, economic struggles, and rising hardware costs has changed buying habits dramatically. However, Gen Z hasn’t abandoned gaming — instead, they’re turning to free-to-play games, budget indies, and discounted titles. Popular multiplayer hits like Peak, Repo, and Lethal Company show the demand for affordable, social games that don’t require expensive hardware. Unless prices stabilize, publishers may need to innovate to keep these players engaged.

Mafia: The Old Country launched with over 30,000 concurrent Steam players and mostly positive reviews. While it hasn’t surpassed the peak player counts of Mafia I Remake or Mafia III, fans praise its story and atmosphere despite some technical issues.
