🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSaber Boss Reacts To The Death Of Physical Games And Rising Console Prices
2026 has been full of big storylines in gaming, including Sony's announcement that it will end support for physical PlayStation game discs in 2028(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstations-disc-based-game-sales-have-dropped-dramatically-in-recent-years/) and the trend of consoles getting increasingly expensive. Tim Willits, the chief creative officer at Saber Interactive, caught up with GameSpot at Gamescom this week to discuss these topics and offer up a bizarre-sounding possibility for an "AI box" for games. He said he was "surprised how upset people were" about Sony ending support for physical game discs. Willits said he hasn't bought a physical game "in a long time" because he enjoys the convenience of digital games. Willits is not alone, as the share of digital game sales is growing at numerous companies. At the same time, Sony continues to sell millions of physical game discs annually(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstations-disc-based-game-sales-have-dropped-dramatically-in-recent-years/). Willits said Saber still makes "a lot of money" from physical games, especially in Europe, but the trends are different in North America, he observed. Willits went on to say he had an interaction with someone recently who asked him to sign a copy of Doom 3, a game he worked on when he was with id Software. "So for me personally, I'll miss that in the future," he said. An AI game box? Part of what many people enjoy about physical games is collecting the boxes they come in and presenting them on their shelves. Willits said he thinks someone in the future might create some kind of "AI box" into which players can "upload all your games." "So maybe someone will do that," he said. Rising console prices Another major storyline in gaming in 2026 has been how video game consoles today are more expensive than ever(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-are-video-game-consoles-so-expensive-these-days-and-games-historically-cheap/). There are numerous reasons for this, including US President Donald Trump's tariffs, the AI-fueled impact on component and memory prices, and more. Sony and Microsoft raised prices(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-xbox-and-switch-2-heres-how-their-prices-have-changed-since-launch/) on PlayStation and Xbox consoles so much that the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles are now $150+ more expensive than they were when they launched in 2020. Nintendo, meanwhile, is hiking the price of the Switch 2 in September. For his part, Willits said it's "shocking how expensive" it has become to buy a new console today, adding that it will "be interesting to see" how Sony and Microsoft manage this as they look to release new consoles. A new report from Ampere Analysis said that if next-gen consoles do, in fact, come in at $1,000 or more, that could have a dramatic, negative effect on the market.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/1000-consoles-could-have-this-dramatic-negative-effect-on-gaming-report/) To be sure, Sony and Microsoft have yet to detail their plans for new consoles, so there is no word yet on how much they might cost or when they could be release. In other news, Willits told GameSpot more about the company’s plans to use AI in game development and how the company claims it will never fire anyone and replace them with AI(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/saber-responds-to-ai-criticisms-in-rideshare-game-and-promises-we-will-never-fire-someone-and-replace-them-with-ai/).
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformThe GTA VI ‘extended look’ is now streaming on YouTube
Rockstar has officially published its "extended look" at Grand Theft Auto VI on YouTube and on its website, as promised. The in-depth preview, which "entirely" features footage captured from the PS5 version of the game, initially premiered on Netflix at 3PM ET. But because Rockstar allowed creators to post reaction videos, you've technically been able &8230;
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformGrand Theft Auto VI Trailer Provides Lengthy First Look At Gameplay Including Story Missions, Side Activities, And More
!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/06/220e925a/62grandtheftautovianextendedlookcomingaugust27-0-0-08.jpeg.webp) Rockstar's first extended look at gameplay for Grand Theft Auto VI aired exclusively on Netflix this afternoon, giving subscribers the first glance at moment-to-moment action as well as plenty of story cinematics. If you don't have a Netflix subscription and can't wait until the footage is uploaded to Rockstar's YouTube channel(https://www.youtube.com/@RockstarGames) at 9 p.m. ET tonight, here's a summary of what this extended look had to offer. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/27/c3f3038e/gta6-netflix-3.jpg.webp) Instead of presenting this footage, which Rockstar billed as being captured on PlayStation 5, as a guided trailer breaking down Grand Theft Auto VI's gameplay, the video is essentially a very long trailer featuring a montage of different story missions and open-world moments. The presentation largely focuses on the various criminal jobs undertaken by dual protagonists and romantic couple Jason and Lucia. You can switch between controlling both characters, and the first mission shown depicts the pair visiting an apartment building to pick up goods from a drug dealer on behalf of music mogul and entrepreneur Boobie Ike. This deal goes sour as someone close to the operation betrays them to the police, triggering a massive shootout with the invading officers. This sequence shows some of GTA VI's gunplay, with Jason blasting through targets using firearms such as an assault rifle and shotgun from behind cover as the AI-controlled Lucia provides covering fire. Another segment shows Lucia and Jason at home getting dolled up for a meeting, giving us a glimpse at smaller interactions such as choosing beers, prompting Lucia to hurry up, while the living room TV plays humorous commercials such as a parody of Arby's. Once they depart, Jason and Lucia meet their boss and primary mission giver, Brian Heder, and his wife, Lori, on a rooftop bar to discuss taking on a new job. Footage of the pair driving to this meeting provides an in-game look at the contemporary Vice City setting, which, speaking as a lifelong Floridian who has visited Miami many times, looks spot-on; I especially enjoyed seeing Rockstar recreate Miami's congested, twisting highway roads that weave around high-rise apartments and other buildings. The UI is minimal, but similar to previous GTA games, though the mini-map appears to render buildings as 3D models. The next mission sees Jason and Lucia serve as a getaway driver for career bank robber Raul Bautista. This appears to be the pair's first meeting with Bautista, who barks orders from the backseat as Lucia, behind the wheel, must flee incoming cop cars. Bautista orders Jason to the backseat with him, showing off a sequence with Jason using an assault rifle to pepper police cars and helicopters with bullets (with a 4-star wanted rating visible on screen). Police cars flip over and careen into buildings thanks to Jason's sharpshooting, and the chaotic chase ends when the pair lose the heat long enough to switch vehicles. Lucia torches their original car using a Molotov selected from a weapon wheel to eliminate any evidence. Once the three reach their destination in their new, more inconspicuous van, Batista pays the two, seemingly kicking off the first of what will likely be a long working relationship between the three. The final mission shown sees Jason and Lucia hired as security for a wealthy and enthusiastic mogul named Andrés. He's arrived in Vice City to attend the lavish opening of the first American headquarters for a Spanish-language media company called Megamundo (likely GTA VI's version of the real-world Miami-based network Telemundo). As Andrés retreats to a "private business meeting" upstairs, Lucia is posted at the event itself. The scene cuts to Jason heading up to retrieve Andrés for a speech, only to find him doing drugs with his friends and refusing to come down. In a scene reminiscent of Die Hard, armed goons suddenly storm the skyscraper, taking hostages and looking for money. Lucia and Jason, separated by several floors, engage in various fights to protect their client and themselves. A gunfight in this section shows off a slow-motion feature for gunplay, though it's unclear if this is a cinematic or gameplay feature. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/27/66e9863e/gta6-screenshot-netflix-4.jpg.webp) Between these major segments, Rockstar showed off clips of various open-world activities. These include fishing, kayaking, base jumping, scuba diving, jetskiing, airboating, and even backyard wrestling. We also saw clips of various types of racing, such as dirt bike, nighttime street racing, and even stock car challenges). The video also highlighted silly moments. At one point, Lucia unknowingly steals a car with an influencer in the trunk. Turns out he's livestreaming a "lock yourself in a trunk" challenge, and the following police chase sees him broadcasting the entire chase, complete with a live chat on screen. !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/nocompression/public/2026/08/27/b63fd27c/screenshot2026-08-27153853.png.webp)(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/nocompression/public/2026/08/27/b63fd27c/screenshot2026-08-27153853.png.webp) Grand Theft Auto VI looks unsurprisingly wild and impressive in this footage, though it remains to be seen what new features it brings to the table just yet. Rockstar has yet to plainly detail the game's features, leaving it up to fans to inspect its footage to point out mechanics or postulate the broader implications of any given scene. Unless Rockstar plans to do this in the next few weeks, fans may have to find out for themselves when Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on November 19. You can learn more about today's trailer in this separate feature where we identify every potential side activity shown in the footage(https://gameinformer.com/2026/08/27/every-potential-side-activity-we-saw-in-the-grand-theft-auto-vi-extended-look). !(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entitybrowserthumbnail/public/2026/08/27/0334efc5/gta6-netflix-2.jpg.webp)!(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/entitybrowserthumbnail/public/2026/08/27/9fb20218/gta6-netflix-4.jpg.webp)
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformGTA VI looks just as great as we could hope for
Netflix and Rockstar Games finally debuted their "extended look" at Grand Theft Auto VI. It showed that the new game looks to keep much of the spirit of GTA - exploration, driving, crimes, shooting, and cinematic story scenes. But everything just looks much better than previous entries, with impressive graphics, densely-packed rooms, and detailed environments. &8230;
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformStuntman: Hollywood Adds Jurassic World To Its Roster Of Cinematic Franchises
!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/27/83856175/Stuntman%20Hollywood%20-%20Jurassic%20World%20Reveal%20Trailer.jpg.webp) Stuntman: Hollywood(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/06/02/stuntman-hollywood-brings-the-big-name-cars), first revealed during June's PlayStation State of Play, resurrects the dormant franchise with a new entry that lets players perform wild vehicular stunts across the sets of licensed franchises, including Back to the Future, Mad Max, and Knight Rider. A new trailer reveals Jurassic World as Stuntman Hollywood's next IP. The trailer showcases both cinematic and in-game footage of the stuntman driving the Jurassic World park jeep and a motorcycle across familiar setpieces from the modern series of films born out of Jurassic Park. This includes riding a motorcycle alongside a pack of raptors in a forest à la the first Jurassic World to escaping the volcanic eruption from its sequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The trailer also shows players performing backflipping a motorcycle over the gaping maw of an angry T. rex, which is pretty awesome. Stuntman: Hollywood has no release window, but it’s coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformGTA 6 Netflix Trailer’s Beefy Runtime Revealed, Footage Captured On PS5
At long last, Rockstar will lift the veil on GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-leaks-a-timeline-of-the-events-so-far/) today, August 27, via an "Extended Look" on Netflix(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-extended-look-how-to-watch-what-to-expect-and-more/). But how long will the broadcast be? Now we know. According to an updated listing for the showcase on the Netflix app, the Extended Look event will run for 26 minutes. That's pretty significant, but it should be, given Rockstar and Netflix are calling it "extended." This suggest it's more than a trailer but instead a proper deep dive into the world of GTA 6. That's exciting news for fans, as Rockstar has only delivered two trailers for the game since 2023, and only sparing other details along the way. Additionally, Netflix's blog post announcing the Extended Look(https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-extended-first-look) was updated with confirmation that the content in the broadcast was "captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5." That's no surprise, either, as the May 2025 GTA 6 trailer was also captured on PlayStation 5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6s-trailer-2-looked-great-and-it-wasnt-all-cutscenes/1100-6531380/), and not the PS5 Pro. Sony and Rockstar have a co-marketing agreement for GTA 6, which is why this is happening. It may also help explain why GTA 6 features consoles and controllers that resemble PlayStation's own devices(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-trailer-includes-playstation-controller-and-console-references/1100-6531330/). The Extended Look begins today at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET, and while the broadcast will initially air on Netflix, it will come to YouTube at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET. For more, be sure to read GameSpot's breakdown of how to watch and what to expect from the GTA 6 Extended Look event(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-extended-look-how-to-watch-what-to-expect-and-more/). The Netflix event comes after GTA 6 has suffered numerous, significant gameplay leaks. Rockstar reacted to the scandal, saying the leaks are "heartbreaking" for the developers(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rockstar-finally-comments-on-all-those-gta-6-leaks-heartbreaking-for-our-team/). GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It's coming to market with an incredible amount of hype behind it, in part because fans have been waiting 13 years for the sequel to GTA 5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-biggest-gaming-stories-that-happened-since-gta-5-came-out-13-years-ago/).
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformEven GTA 6 Is Poking Fun At Naughty Dog’s Lack Of New Games
While Naughty Dog is working on its next title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, that hasn't stopped people from taking a jab at the studio for having spent almost the entire PlayStation 5 generation without releasing a brand-new game--and it looks like even GTA 6 is having a little bit of fun at Naughty Dog's expense. The recent GTA 6 leaks from Cyberleek(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-leaks-a-timeline-of-the-events-so-far/) have been a treasure trove of information about the game, especially the amount of detail that can be found in virtually every corner of it. One such detail you might easily miss is a collection of video game covers, one of which is a thinly veiled reference to the video game series The Last of Us. As seen in the screenshot below, players can find a copy of We Came Together: 1, 2, & 3 Remasters of the Remixes. https://twitter.com/alihld13/status/2092263630280515607 The text used here is very similar to the logo of The Last of Us, complete with a splash of orange to break it all up. It's not the only studio that GTA 6 is parodying, as you can even find a cover for what's probably a souls-like game on the shelf: https://twitter.com/alihld13/status/2092246778850517309 The ribbing of The Last of Us likely stems from the fact that, compared to the PS3 and PS4 eras, Naughty Dog's output for PS5 has been much smaller. There are a number of reasons for that, as the increased complexity of developing modern video games means that a project can take several years to complete. The multi-year development and eventual cancellation of The Last of Us Online(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/canceled-last-of-us-online-game-was-very-close-to-done-and-doing-really-well-internally-says-dev/1100-6539185/) also consumed massive studio resources for years and ended without a finished product. In the PS5 era, Naughty Dog's output has consisted of remastered editions and PC ports of its Uncharted and The Last of Us games. The studio's next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet(https://www.gamespot.com/games/intergalactic-the-heretic-prophet/), is still listed as a PS5 game, and another report claims that the studio is crunching hard(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/naughty-dogs-intergalactic-aiming-for-mid-2027-release-amid-new-crunch-allegations-report/1100-6537091/) to have it out by mid-2027. If the game does arrive next year, it'll be the first new release from Naughty Dog that isn't a remake or a remaster since 2020's The Last of Us Part 2, and it's rumored that a second team is working on The Last of Us: Part III(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-last-of-us-3-release-date-trailer-story/1100-6531075/). https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-leaks-a-timeline-of-the-events-so-far/ As for Rockstar Games, it'll be showing off an official look at GTA 6 on August 27(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/netflix-gta-6-exclusive-seems-doomed/), after weathering a week of leaks. The GTA 6 leaker hasn't been identified yet, but former Rockstar North director Obbe Vermeij(https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/ObbeVermeij) has commented on the situation(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-leaks-dont-matter-and-arent-as-bad-as-hot-coffee-scandal-ex-rockstar-director-says/) and he believes that they aren't as big a deal as the internet would have you believe--or at least, they aren't nearly as bad as the infamous Hot Coffee scandal(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/confirmed-sex-minigame-in-ps2-san-andreas/1100-6129301/).
