GTA 6 Is So Hyped It’s Already Scaring Developers—And Fans Can’t Wait
We’re reaching the festive period now, but it doesn’t feel like developers are feeling too merry. FTC is definitely on Santa’s naughty list after scamming Fortnite players out of millions, and Destiny 2 has actually taken to removing gifts from its players. Amidst all the Christmas time chaos, we all know the God Of War Art Director has opted to jump ship and join the Naughty Dog side, possibly one of the company’s biggest gifts for 2025.

The Epic Games scandal finally had its ruling, and the first payments have started rolling out. Over 2 years ago, the American government agency investigated claims that Epic Games had “tricked” its Fortnite players into making unwanted purchases.

Here’s what we know about the first payments and what the response has been.

Half of Path of Exile 2 has launched, and some are already calling it the greatest ARPG. It has already reached the top 3 spot on Steam and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

The only setback of this game that will perhaps keep it from reaching number one is the fact that the two reigning spots on the Steam leaderboard are free-to-play, and this game requires a $30 down payment. All that and more here.
