That’s up from two million in the previous quarter, which was coincidentally up from the quarter before that. The series is currently at 118 million+ sales worldwide, and it won’t be long before the sequel hits 100 million units sold. For now, it comfortably remains the third-best-selling game of all time.

Of course, Grand Theft Auto 5 is still Take-Two’s biggest success. Since launching in 2013, it’s sold nearly 235 million copies, up five million from its last milestone. The fiscal year is only half done, and it’s already sold ten million copies. As for the franchise, it’s nearly reached 480 million sales.

With Grand Theft Auto 6 launching on November 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, one has to wonder whether it can top its predecessor’s $800 million launch sales. Sensor Tower estimates it’s nearly there with $751 million in revenue so far, but stay tuned for official figures from Rockstar and Take-Two.

“That’s a good thing.” However, he reiterated the same belief that he’s said several times before. “We never claim success before it occurs. So we’re just days away from beginning to see the fruits of our labor.”

Players (and shareholders) won’t have to wait long to learn about it either, as the publisher will “certainly be giving more information about how GTA 6 performs post-launch.” Whether that’s on the same day or with its next financial results remains to be seen, but it’s expected to do big business.

The latest estimates from Sensor Tower claim that 7.71 million copies have been sold, allegedly generating $751 million in revenue. About 74 percent of sales are allegedly on PS5, which is good news for Sony given its partnership with Rockstar Games. Neither the developer nor Take-Two has confirmed the budget, especially after UK public records claimed it was over $2 billion. However, with a map triple the size of Red Dead Redemption 2 and a team that’s doubled since the latter’s release, it should certainly rank among the most expensive titles of all time.

Grand Theft Auto 6 retails for $80, with the $100 Ultimate Edition providing exclusive access to multiple stores and other benefits. Of course, you can always upgrade later, even with “physical” copies. Head here for more details.

You can learn more about the map and event here, but the new weapons are more intriguing. There’s the NSW4 Carbine with subsonic ammo; the ADS-17 6GHz Signal Jammer to scramble kill feeds and hostile locations; and the M142 MRAS for quick and dirty explosive payloads. Several new attachments are also inbound, including a 60-round magazine for the AK-205, a Match Trigger for the M44 and Rail Covers for a litany of existing assault rifles, light machine guns, sniper rifles and more.

The update also introduces Leaderboards with seasonal and Friends-only filters and a limited public test of the much-demanded Server Browser. The latter will be fully available later, though a release date is TBD.

Battlefield 6 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our review, but note that it’s changed significantly over time. Thankfully, you can try it firsthand with a free trial announced for November 13th to 16th.

Insider AestheticGamer, aka Dusk Golem, has tweeted that they’ve heard “several times pretty reliably” about what’s happening. Apparently, Capcom was aiming for Q1 2027 and entered a “busy crunch period” earlier this year. When it reportedly wasn’t possible, the release internally slipped to Q2 2027 and now Fall (which is also why a new trailer, allegedly planned to release by now, hasn’t aired).

“They COULD release the game, but especially after Requiem feedback, they want to take the time to fix medium or medium-small issues that’d make it a better game in late development than just push it out.” He also reaffirmed that Resident Evil Requiem’s story DLC is allegedly taking more time because of the same feedback.

“In the short term it’s annoying, but long term the reasoning for this is simply they want to be responsive to Requiem’s feedback and take their time for quality; things just align here.”

As of early August, Resident Evil Veronica crossed two million wishlists, so it makes sense for Capcom to take time and deliver on the hype. The real question now is when Requiem’s story DLC could arrive, especially since it’s reportedly meant to bridge the gap between major releases.

While apparently planned to launch after Veronica, it wouldn’t be surprising if it lands in early 2028. In the meantime, stay tuned for more details, ideally in the coming months. On the bright side, at least Resident Evil Requiem continues to perform well, crossing 8.5 million sales since launching earlier this year. There’s also positive buzz after the Resident Evil movie, which has grossed $400 million worldwide.

The story sees the Inquisition in the Calixis Sector to deal with all kinds of crimes. They’re a collection of misfits, from Cogg the abhuman to Saro the psyker (and even Kroot Ra’akthi, who has a particular taste for flesh). Combat follows the same principles as Rogue Trader, right down to the Morale system, but the overall atmosphere and tone are much darker.

You’re also not on a mission of wanton slaughter. As an Imperial Inquisitor, you must analyze evidence in cases and make the best call to catch suspects or root out any answers. Every action has consequences, including how you treat your companions.

If you’re keen on trying Dark Heresy early, its closed beta will remain available until January 7th, 2027. While it’s a work-in-progress, early version of the game, it should offer a decent look at combat, decision-making and the investigative mechanics.

Of course, if a CRPG isn’t your thing, Owlcat Games also has The Expanse: Osiris Reborn to look forward to next year. Check out the latest trailer, highlighting the male protagonist’s updated face and VA, here.

Almost a year later, there’s no update, but according to the manual from the recent physical edition’s release, it may only be the first. As posted by Arfadoz on Twitter, Team Cherry teases expanding Silksong’s world with “free content packs,” delivering “even more adventures” with “new friends, new abilities and new ferocious foes.”

As for Sea of Sorrow, it’s listed as “coming soon” and touted as the game’s “first giant expansion.” Of course, the last time this happened, Silksong went from an expansion to the original Hollow Knight to its own game, and took over six years to launch. It could do the funniest thing to fans for the second time in a row.

Stay tuned for updates regardless, and check out our review of Hollow Knight: Silksong. Available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, it focuses on Hornet as she travels Pharloom to unravel its many mysteries. As of December 2025, the Metroidvania sold over seven million units. It’s also on Game Pass, which saw “millions” of players on its own.

He also reported that total video game hardware spending in the region was up 81 percent for the week compared to last year. This doesn’t necessarily include the special edition console itself and could also indicate a boost in overall Switch 2 hardware sales. Furthermore, the imminent launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 may have played some part.

Nevertheless, The Legend of Zelda – 40th Anniversary Edition’s success indicates the franchise’s popularity and the hype around the Ocarina of Time remake (even if it’s not included). For $519.99, it includes the console and a black-and-gold dock with a Triforce symbol. The Joy-Con 2 controls are green and gold with various patterns and designs to behold. Overall, a true collector’s item for Zelda enthusiasts.

As for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, it’s currently the highest-rated game of the year with a 96 Metascore. Head here for more details.

Between stealth, trap changes, and stances, there’s much to experiment with. Of course, the campaign’s end draws near, with the final two Acts packing 24 new areas (including a return to Oriath) and 18 new bosses. Even the Champion Rares, with 20+ to discover (many out of the way), make for some intriguing fights.

The other big addition is Conquerors of Wraeclast, but this isn’t like Conquerors of the Atlas. This time, players will recruit and lead soldiers to lay siege to castles for rewards (including a new “crafting material” for reforging gear). When your army isn’t trying to stop the Blood Lord’s awakening, you can dispatch them to do your dirty work in the Atlas.

If that wasn’t enough, you can look forward to over 40 new uniques, more than 70 reworks, a Passive Tree overhaul (including the removal of crit nodes), new skill gems, and other improvements. Path of Exile 2 leaves early access on December 11th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our review from 2024 when it first launched.

Comprising two stages, you can look forward to Kodak Black, Cardi B, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, Travis Scott, Metro Boomin, Rauw and Friends, and more. Justice, who composed the score, will have a DJ set that should include standout tracks “Pusher” feat. Gesaffelstein and “Flower in a Hurricane” with Tame Impala, King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, and SZA.

There is a catch, though. You’ll need to enter a lottery for tickets. It goes live on November 10th and closes at 4 PM ET, and requires an active DICE account. Each pre-sale lottery code is valid for two tickets.

If the festival scene isn’t for you, don’t worry. Grand Theft Auto 6 launches November 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 alongside the official album. The score goes live on December 11th, but you can still listen to Justice’s dynamic versions of 30 tracks in-game. Check out the latest launch screenshots for new gameplay details (and because they look gorgeous).

As producer Hidemaro Fujibayashi explained to Polygon, the franchise allows for a certain malleability. “Take, for example, on the Nintendo 64, the game went from 2D to 3D or the addition of a control stick, to really be able to navigate a 3D world. When it came to the Wii with Skyward Sword, you were able to use gesture controls to swing the sword. And when it came to titles like Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, you have this vast freedom that really breaks away from traditional, course-charted paths.

“All of that to say that these are all ideas or nuggets of ideas that developers at that time feel like, okay, this is going to be fun. This has potential. And I feel like Zelda creates this foundation, this arena where developers can bring those ideas and actually bring them to life and realize that.”

Where the series goes next is anyone’s guess, especially since Nintendo hasn’t announced the next mainline title (or even if another remake, like Majora’s Mask, is in the works). That said, Fujibayashi constantly asks younger developers whether something will be fun, and encourages them to explore new ideas.

“A lot of times, the question I have when I talk to younger staff is like, ‘Is that going to be fun?’ Or I would say sometimes, ‘Well, I think we did that in Breath of the Wild. I think we touched that on Tears of the Kingdom. I feel like I saw it in Ocarina of Time.’ These are just examples; I don’t actually directly say that. But this is the kind of probing and discussion that we do with the team such that they don’t feel like they need to pull from an already existing pool of ideas that Zelda has plotted.”

Of course, you have to wonder how much reinvention the series can undergo without repeating some winning ideas. Then again, no one really thought that Zelda would go open-world or that the Hylian princess herself would star in a game, and yet, here we are. Stay tuned for more updates, and check out our feature on the Ocarina of Time remake, highlighting the benefits of a more focused journey.

With Switch 2 sales down over the previous quarter, this could mark a strong comeback for Nintendo, especially heading into next year. While the company hasn’t outlined its full 2027 slate, Xenoblade Genesis, Metroid Ravenous, and FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods are confirmed.
