Another year, another Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed; two series that were once regular, routine buys, but are now shells of what they once were. As development costs soar and layoffs become a weekly occurrence, it's clear that videogaming as we know it is changing, with the GTA 6 release date potential being the getaway to a brave new virtual world. But Rockstar's behemoth has been hit with delays, and call me a pessimist, but I'm not sure it'll launch in 2026 - even if it does, it probably won't be on PC straight away. If that means relying on Fortnite or League of Legends to keep things afloat for a bit longer, I'm ok with that. Read the rest of the story...
