Will a Grand Theft Auto game ever be set outside of America?…

Rockstar North’s upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, set in a stylised Miami, continues the series’ American focus, a tradition that has only once branched overseas with the original game’s London expansion. Studio head Rob Nelson hinted that future titles might explore other locales, yet emphasized that “there’s still so much to do in America.” Former director Obbe Vermeij noted a near‑miss GTA: Tokyo project, underscoring the company’s historical preference for U.S. cities that blend wealth, poverty, and crime. GTA 6 releases 19 November on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at 30 FPS, available via Xbox Cloud Gaming only.

💡 The conversation signals a potential shift in Rockstar’s long‑standing narrative geography, offering fans a glimpse of fresh settings that could redefine the franchise’s cultural lens.

Auroch Digital, collaborating with Poncle, released Warhammer Survivors, a roguelite that blends the Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar universes with the gameplay style of Vampire Survivors.

💡 By simplifying a traditionally complex franchise, the game lowers the barrier for new fans, potentially expanding the Warhammer community beyond hardcore players.

21 more Xbox games come to PC, including TimeSplitters 2 and The…

To mark Xbox’s 25th anniversary, Microsoft added 21 more original‑Xbox titles to its PC backwards‑compatibility lineup, bringing the total to 25 games. The new batch is dominated by LucasArts releases, including several Star Wars entries, as well as obscure titles such as Secret Weapons Over Normandy and Thrillville. Familiar franchises like Battlefront 2, Jedi Outcast and Knights of the Old Republic also appear, despite already having native PC versions. The list features a poorly received Xbox port of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, which remains inferior to its mod‑friendly PC counterpart. The most noteworthy additions are TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, the only games in the set that have never been officially released for PC. Fans now have a legal path to replay these cult classics.

💡 Bringing TimeSplitters to PC finally satisfies demand for a long‑awaited franchise revival, giving players direct access without emulation compromises.
