Update 1.69 pairs a Chinese electric hypercar that hits 62 mph in 2.36 seconds with a tiny French hatchback from 1993. Only Gran Turismo.

Infinity Nikki's Version 2.5 update drops today, adding a new zone called the Boneyard where you can summon dragon bones and ride them like a surfboard. It also closes out the Itzaland Main Quest and adds new Ability Outfits, banners, and combat challenges.

Housing disabled, prop hunt ruined by x-ray vision, bonus rolls not working, a raid boss made unkillable, and players who hide too well getting punished. WoW's 12.0.5 patch is a disaster across the board.

A small but focused CS2 update lands, tidying up ledge movement, viewmodel animations, and trade offer limits.

IO Interactive isn't hiding its Hitman influence. 007 First Light's new Tac-Sim mode is Escalation Contracts with a tuxedo on, and I'm completely fine with that.

The original Ecco the Dolphin creator and development team have reunited after 30 years to deliver remasters of the first two games alongside a completely new entry in the series.

Owlcat Games' The Expanse: Osiris Reborn just entered closed beta, and hands-on previews are drawing strong Mass Effect comparisons across the board. After years of failed spiritual successors, this one might actually stick.

Balance of Performance tweaks hit nearly every GT class, the Nissan GTP ZXT gets a significant physics rework, and a handful of annoying UI bugs finally get the axe.

Two Nintendo customers have filed a class action lawsuit claiming Nintendo stands to collect tariff costs twice: once from consumers through price hikes, and again from the U.S. government through refunds.

Vampire Survivors has hit 27 million players, and developer Poncle is reinvesting that success into 15 new projects, two new studios, and a licensing engine for IP collaborations.
