🎮 Multi-platformThe Angry Birds Movie 3 Trailer Has More Pee Than I Expected
Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3, and this is sure to remind people that, yes, the movie series is still going. The third movie follows Red (Jason Sudeikis) as faces his "greatest challenge yet," which is being a dad ... and also saving the world. Releasing December 23, The Angry Birds Movie 3 features a big cast of celebrities in addition to Sudeikis, including Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Tim Robinson, Sam Richardson, Keke Palmer, Nikki Glaser, Lily James, and even Mr. Beast. The trailer has a number of standout scenes, including a memorable sequence where the baby bird continuously pees through a colander, prompting Bomb (McBride) to remark, "It's like the Bellagio fountain!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9DBaUMzME The original Angry Birds Movie came out in 2016, with the sequel arriving in 2019, so this is a film franchise that's been running for a decade now. The original movie made $352 million worldwide(https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt1985949/?ref=boser1), but the sequel made less than half ($148 million globally(https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt6095472/?ref=boser2)). As for the Angry Birds game series, Sega acquired the Rovio franchise in 2023 for $776 million. It hasn't been such a successful acquisition for Sega, at least not yet. Sega CEO Haruki Satomi said, "We have unfortunately not achieved the level of results that had been expected prior to the acquisition," according to GI.biz(https://www.gamesindustry.biz/what-went-wrong-with-segas-776m-acquisition-of-angry-birds-giant-rovio). Paramount is also behind the upcoming Call of Duty movie from Taylor Sheridan and Peter Berg(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-movie-release-date-trailer-story-cast-director-writer/1100-6536962/) and the next Sonic the Hedgehog movie(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/jim-carrey-is-back-for-sonic-the-hedgehog-4-with-big-stars-in-tow/1100-6538887/). The company is about to take ownership of numerous more popular franchises by way of its $111 billion buyout of Warner Bros. Discovery(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/mortal-kombat-batman-and-harry-potter-games-are-one-step-closer-to-being-owned-by-paramount/1100-6539576/).
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSony Sets Expectations Ahead Of PS6: No More “Significant” Hardware Losses
The current generation of gaming has only gotten more expensive lately, and it looks like the next generation of PlayStation consoles will also be a pricy purchase. With concern growing about the yet-to-be-revealed PS6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-6-everything-we-know-about-sonys-next-generation-console/1100-6533561/) possibly selling for $1,000 or more when it launches, Sony confirmed that it's not prepared to take a "significant" hit on absorbing some of the costs for its next-gen hardware. When quizzed about hardware pricing and profitability for the "next-generation platform" during a Q&A session(https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/businesssegmentmeeting/pdf/2026/GNSQAE.pdf) at Sony's Game & Network Services division, Sony executives said that they recognize that hardware is ultimately the most important part of a gaming experience, and they want consumers to recognize this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrvZEiWD7ZM "As for pricing, it is not realistic for us to absorb all component cost increases, and we have already implemented some price increases outside Japan," Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Hideaki Nishino said. "At present, however, sales are proceeding as planned, and we do not believe this has led to a decline in customer demand. "As a principle, we do not intend to sell hardware at significant losses. At the same time, we are carefully monitoring the market and continuing to evaluate our approach. We believe it is important for us to make every effort to ensure that customers fully understand the value we provide in relation to pricing." One thing worth noting from Nishino's comments is that sales are still within Sony's projections, even though PS5 consoles have only gotten more expensive with time. Despite that, May was a dismal month(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-and-xbox-series-x-both-didnt-sell-very-well-in-may/) for PlayStation in the United States. Spending on PS5 consoles dropped 43% year-on-year, and overall unit sales fell dramatically by 58%, making May the lowest month for PlayStation sales in 26 years. It was also a bad month for Microsoft, as it suffered the worst May performance since the Xbox console first debuted in November 2001. The ongoing shortage of memory chips and rising costs have also reportedly thrown Sony's PS6 plans(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps6-plans-reportedly-thrown-into-uncertainty-by-ai-hardware-demand/1100-6538201/) into disarray, with some experts believing that it will only launch toward the end of the decade. Earlier this year, Sony increased the price of the PS5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-price-increase-confirmed-by-sony-amid-market-pressures/1100-6539060/), and the company also said that it has yet to determine pricing(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps6-release-date-and-price-are-still-up-in-the-air-sony-says/1100-6539857/) or a launch date for its next-gen console. Meanwhile, things aren't looking too good at Microsoft either. The Xbox Series X|S consoles are also more expensive than ever(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-is-increasing-the-cost-of-xbox-consoles-again-starting-in-august/), and Microsoft hasn't ruled out the possibility of another price hike in 2027(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-may-have-another-price-hike-up-its-sleeve-in-2027/).

🎮 Multi-platformMarvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Roster Adds Blade, Loki, And Deadpool
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/29/af4e87e5/marvel-tokon-blade-ultimate.jpg.webp) Arc Systems Works revealed a new team and characters for its upcoming tag team fighter Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls(https://gameinformer.com/feature/2025/09/30/hero-vs-hero) during Evo 2026 this weekend. One hero, one villain, and one fourth-wall-breaking mercenary are joining the fight. Blade, Loki, and Deadpool are the latest additions to the roster. Blade relies on his Muramasa blade to slice apart foes while relying on guns and throwing knives to keep them at bay from afar. Loki bashes enemies using a flaming sword, a staff similar to the one that housed the Mind Stone in The Avengers, and likely plenty of other tricks. An Asgard stage has also been revealed alongside the trickster god. Lastly, Deadpool looks as wacky as he did in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, with a moveset bursting with a barrage of comedic chatter and fighting game references (including his own rendition of Mortal Kombat’s “Toasty!”). Deadpool is also voiced by Nolan North, who reprises the role after voicing the character in his eponymous 2013 game(https://gameinformer.com/games/deadpool/b/xbox360/archive/2013/06/25/slayed-by-the-merc-with-a-mouth.aspx). The three, along with the previously announced Ghost Rider, form a team called the Samurai Outriders in the game's narrative. They'll battle rival factions such as the Fighting Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther), the Knights of Doom(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/06/02/magneto-green-goblin-and-carnage-join-marvel-tokon-fighting-souls) (Doctor Doom, Magneto, Carnage, Green Goblin), Unbreakable X-Men(https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-locks-in-an-august-launch-and-a-few-more-x-men) (Wolverine, Magik, Storm, Danger), and the Amazing Guardians (Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Peni Parker). Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls launches on August 6 for PlayStation 5 and PC.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformGTA 6 Seeing “Record” Orders On Xbox, Microsoft Claims
Microsoft has responded to a report regarding GTA 6 preorders and the apparent gulf between Xbox and PlayStation numbers, saying this early, unofficial third-party information "doesn't represent preorder data." "We’ve had record orders. People should wait for real data and not clicks on affiliate links," Microsoft said. This came in response to a data from IGN(https://x.com/IGN/status/2070671284481179813) that said its own internal information from affiliate links from its userbase found that GTA 6 preorders were outperforming Xbox by a rate of 8 to 1. This is not official preorder data from Rockstar or Take-Two, but rather early results from IGN's own userbase. As such, it doesn't represent the full picture of preorders--it was never meant to or billed as such. Still, the story took off, prompting Microsoft to issue a statement. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/GTAd6092f.jpg?w=1024) GTA 6 releases in November. GTA 6 undoubtedly has a high number of preorders, and it makes sense that PS5 numbers would track ahead of Xbox given the higher install base of consoles and the Rockstar-PlayStation marketing deal for GTA 6. In any event, GTA 6 is expected to have the biggest launch of all time, so preorders setting an Xbox record--whatever record that might be--is no surprise, either. For now, we'll just have to wait for Rockstar or Take-Two to announce preorder data, should they choose to. Preorders opened on June 25 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and as a digital-exclusive game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-is-not-releasing-with-a-disc-and-that-just-makes-sense-in-2026/), stock is not going to sell out. Despite that, people are already trying to flip their preorders on eBay(https://www.ebay.com/itm/800253310120?skw=gta+6+preorder&itmmeta=01KW9NVXPTMBGCSNFX2FP1DRRS&hash=itemba52d074a8:g:Ec4AAeSwBoRqQFAG&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCAshd6iBGxntWcsnYXTu%2FHunTRVxR7cSKMCu5wuP4zQ9ws2fRqaH4BJJnQme042W96S3BV9Zkx%2FovJNdQOhOE71yv8JniyQcXPF1Yilz3zcfSMLDvqCDeVs6PKkLCq1e1o9SUbBqrtAbzwJ8iDG2Xyk1Fkc%2BBIu2Bwr2rr8flxdQaVK7%2BpAw7bA6ILwWWh44TBEeCIqIesm8lHmiLmH71WWGVdrcB6c2I7vS2y1KU4ma065ZAAQbsoV9qt3LsTJAE%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8zb77XiZw) for big premiums. GTA 6 is scheduled for a November 19 launch. It “features a single-player experience,”(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-features-a-single-player-experience-at-least-at-launch/) leading many to wonder what the game’s online plans will be. GTA 6 is priced at $80 for its standard edition and $100 for the ultimate edition that locks away lots of exciting content(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-how-much-youll-pay-for-gta-6-and-whats-included-in-the-ultimate-edition/) behind that $20 extra paywall.
🎮 Multi-platformGTA 6 Won’t Be On A Disc, Not At Launch Or Months After, Report Says
Even though Rockstar and Take-Two have already said GTA 6 is a digital-only game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-is-not-releasing-with-a-disc-and-that-just-makes-sense-in-2026/), some have held out hope for a disc-based version. A new report says GTA 6 will not have a disc-based version at launch or months after, as some have speculated. According to The Hollywood Reporter(https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/grand-theft-auto-vi-digital-only-no-disc-rip-physical-media-1236629695/), "There are no plans for Grand Theft Auto VI discs to be printed--not at launch, and not months after." This came after a fan posted a screenshot(https://x.com/GTASixInfo/status/2070100176816193743) of a conversation they said they had with a Rockstar Support agent who informed them, "You will be able to acquire a physical copy during the following months." !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/GTAViceCity.jpg?w=1024) GTA 6 won't be on a disc at launch or months after, apparently. This email was indeed real, THR said, but it's being misinterpreted. The report said the "physical copy" wording was in reference to the physical copies of GTA 6 that will be sold at retailers with a code in the box, not a disc. The line from the Rockstar Support agent about being able to get a physical copy "during the following months" was described as a "clunky" reference to months after preorders going live on June 25, not the game's November 19 release date. Why is GTA 6 not releasing on a disc? There are a number of reasons, experts have said, and many of them come down to Rockstar making more money(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-is-not-releasing-with-a-disc-and-that-just-makes-sense-in-2026/). No discs also helps mitigate the possibility of the game leaking early. The codes that come in the physical copies do not unlock until November 19 (though preloading begins November 12). A lot of people love physical media and want to own GTA 6 on a disc, but shipping as a digital-exclusive game won't have any impact on sales overall(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-is-not-releasing-with-a-disc-and-that-just-makes-sense-in-2026/), experts say. Still, it's a major bummer for people looking to own the game on a disc, even if that disc is merely provides a license that can be revoked at any time. GTA 6 is releasing with an $80 standard edition and a $100 ultimate edition, the latter of which locks away lots of cool content behind that extra paywall(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-how-much-youll-pay-for-gta-6-and-whats-included-in-the-ultimate-edition/).
