Minecraft creator Markus “Notch” Persson put his Beverly Hills megamansion up for sale, and the price tag raised a few eyebrows. In December 2014, fresh off selling Mojang to Microsoft for $2.5 billion, Persson outbid Beyoncé and Jay-Z for the home and paid $70 million, a Beverly Hills record. Notch lists Beverly Hills mansion for the exact $70M he paid Persson listed the 22,300-square-foot estate in Trousdale Estates, a neighborhood known as Beverly Hills’ Billionaires’ Row, for $70 million, the same sum he handed over in 2014. The listing also dropped days before Californians vote on a proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaires who lived in the state on January 1, 2026, and some X accounts quickly framed the move as Persson fleeing.

China’s video game industry has really ramped up over the past few years, with developers releasing everything from ambitious free-to-play titles like Where Winds Meet to unique Soulslike experiences found in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Then there’s Black Myth: Wukong, which famously won Best Action Game at the 2024 Game Awards. Beating Black Myth: Wukong was never going to be easy, but Phantom Blade Zero’s breathtakingly cool combat, stunning environments, and adrenaline-fueled boss fights surpass its Monkey King rival. It’s a martial arts game that combines Soulslike boss fights with stylish combat choreography inspired by movie greats like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
S-Game, the Chinese studio behind Phantom Blade Zero, clearly understands the core tenets of character-action games. If your melee combat isn't tight, responsive, and oozing cool, then what's the point? Some games might have better combat, but few can match Phantom Blade Zero's style. Every moment feels like you're in the middle of a Chinese martial-arts movie, pulling off moves that shouldn't be feasible--moves that go against what we expect from third-person action games--yet are baked into the mechanics.
A Florida man on supervised release after robbing banks dressed in a prosthetic mask has been accused of committing two more robberies wearing the same disguise. David Sartin Jr., 40, had previously been jailed for a string of robberies. In 2008, he and a co-conspirator attempted a bank robbery wearing Halloween masks and disguises. Uncle Henry Cops and Robbers the world through the eyes of a Bank Robber.” Related The journal, dated Jan 1, 2021, was “written by: David Sartin,” and included a drawing of someone holding a mask along with the phrase, “My face holding up Uncle Henry, looking at it, Face to Face.” Sartin faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted on both robbery charges.
BioWare's incredible legacy will continue as long as there are RPGs EA is shutting down the venerable studio, but its impact will persevere. For my column this week I was going to write about climbing all over monsters in Dragon Dogma 2's chilly Dark Arisen expansion, but then EA decided to finally murder BioWare after years of slowly poisoning it. So sadly I am pivoting to this eulogy. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Fraser is the UK online editor and has actually met The Internet in person.
Helldivers 3 "only makes sense" if it’s so unlike Helldivers 2 "that both games can exist side by side", says Arrowhead boss, discussing their new prototype game 95% of studio still on Helldivers 2, with a "small team" on the next game Arrowhead Game Studios will only make a Helldivers 3 if it's lightyears apart in style from Helldivers 2, or if Helldivers 2's playercount falls through the floor. This is my takeaway, at least, from a recent chat with Johan Pilestedt, chief creative officer, in which Pilestedt touched briefly on the studio's next unannounced game, while assuring me that there are still no plans for a Helldiver threequel. According to Pilestedt, 95% of the studio is focused on Helldivers 2, with a "small team" now prototyping Arrowhead's next game.

SNL's viral Zelda: Ocarina of Time vs GTA 6 sketch probably went down fine at Nintendo, former marketing leads say, even if it framed Link as being "for nerds" Saturday Night Live may have seemingly tried (and failed) to poke fun at The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake in a recent sketch pitting it against GTA 6, but former Nintendo marketing leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang reckon that the house of Mario would actually have had a "pretty positive reaction" to it internally. In my spare time, you're sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite.
The GTA 6 leaker has reportedly threatened to release a build of the game with the full story mode played to the end, as part of their heavily criticized crypto scheme. According to online reports, the Cyberleek website was updated with a warning that if its memecoin reached a market cap of $30 million, a build of GTA 6 would be released featuring the full story mode including end credits. In the alleged online warning, Cyberleek once again framed their GTA 6 leaks as a protest against the lack of a physical disc version of the game, and allegedly called on Take-Two to release GTA 6 on-disc and issue an apology. At the time of this article’s publication, Cyberleek had a market cap of $3.8 million, having spiked at $5.7 million earlier today as reports of the message hit social media.
The Arc Raiders Frozen Trail update is bigger than anyone expected: new ARC, gun upgrades, a map, and personal outposts you can decorate The 2.0 patch is comprehensive. Here's the big stuff - Pendola Pass: A snowy mountain region north of the Rust Belt flanked on all sides by a gigantic Emperor corpse. Embark says Pendola is its "most ambitious map to date" and has a unique "Flash Freeze" condition that punishes those who stay outside too long. - New ARC types: The Frigate is a "massive airborne carrier" that apparently can't be totally destroyed.
Should action games let us skip the action? The Blood of Dawnwalker may be doing it, and it won't even be the first to do so in 2026. "We will introduce an additional difficulty level [to The Blood of Dawnwalker], but an easier one, because many people are asking for a more easy difficulty. The Story mode which we have right now will be a different difficulty—we will call it Demanding or something like this—and we will add a new Story mode which will be even easier for people who don't want to experience the combat, they just want to learn the story and go through the game without this gameplay challenge." (via Eurogamer) Wait, does that mean a combat skip option is coming?
Mystique's lesbian relationship in Marvel's Wolverine is seemingly censored in certain parts of the world Not Raven about this. Some Marvel's Wolverine players have claimed their game has been altered to censor aspects of Mystique's lesbian relationship and marriage to Tyger. A number of posts on Reddit and social media appear to show how differently the relationship is referenced compared to the uncensored version. Censorship in Middle East versions for mystique/tyger by u/Squeakyyyy in PlayWolverine Amazon Prime Video's The Boys show is particularly guilty of that, as one example, especially its final season given the subject matter of Homelander's ascent to godhood and the show's references to Jesus Christ.

I avoid looking up tips for games until I finish them (see: my 46-hour 100% Silksong journey), so I revisited the early areas of Mortal Shell 2 with a fine-toothed comb. As a result of all this, I beat the first 20% of Mortal Shell 2 with unupgraded weapons, unupgraded guns, unupgraded skill stones, and a cluster of bugs bothering me like gnats.
When Xbox announced a new feature last month that lets you digitize existing physical game collections, I immediately thought of the Xbox One. Disc-to-digital seems like a clever new feature for Xbox, perfectly timed as a response to Sony killing PlayStation discs. But the reality is that it has been 15 years in the making and is now a big part of Xbox’s ongoing game preservation efforts. - The Gates Foundation says it’s spending $1 billion to expand access to AI.
Nintendo just convinced a Dutch court to ban the country’s least charming export since tulips: the MIG Switch, a cartridge that’s really just an SD card slot in a costume. And that costume trick is just one front in a much bigger campaign. Nintendo has spent 2026 chasing piracy down every channel it can find. Just last September, a Seattle court ordered MIG Switch seller Ryan Daly to hand over $2 million and shut his site for good.

It's not perfect by any means, but the tiny arcade machine will provide serviceable versions of King of Fighters and Metal Slug for $59.99 (Amazon), and it even has TV output. Ultimate Edition buyers will get 30% off at PLAIN REPLAI's online store, which includes consoles like The Spectrum, versions of the Atari 2600+, and the upcoming Amiga A1200 remake. Yes, players who pre-ordered the machine regardless of anything would have happily tucked into King of Fighters, Shock Troopers, and other arcade classics in a few months' time, but the majority of the scene will be preoccupied with the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake or GTA 6, both of which require a Switch 2 or PS5.
Xbox will now publish Physint, an upcoming game from Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, after PlayStation decided to cancel it. Xbox picks up Kojima’s Physint after PlayStation dropped it Physint is Xbox’s second upcoming Kojima Productions game, joining OD. The unexpected swap came in a flurry of announcements from PlayStation, Xbox, Kojima Productions, and Kojima himself. Sony, which published both of Kojima Productions’ previous Death Stranding games, framed it as a “difficult decision to step away from collaborating with Kojima Productions,” but insisted their “relationship remains strong.” Kojima put things more bluntly on his personal X account, claiming that Sony gave the studio an unexpected cancellation notice in June, and that it has spent the last three months “searching tirelessly” for a new publishing partner.
Grand Theft Auto has always had a complicated relationship with women. For decades, it’s been known as the series where you can visit a strip club, hire a sex worker, and swiftly beat her to death in the nearest alley. Violence against women in virtual settings praised for their unflinching realism is frequently turned into a punchline players are expected to chuckle at again and again and again. But with the arrival of player character Lucia Caminos in the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 later this year, Rockstar has an opportunity to completely redefine the franchise’s problematic dynamic with women and potentially introduce one of the strongest female protagonists this medium has ever seen--but we all know that sticking the landing is easier said than done.
Street Fighter 6 gets a new gameplay trailer for Arjun, a new Indian brawler with a love for Bollywood Down (back) to earth. Capcom has released a gameplay trailer for its next DLC character: Arjun. An Indian fighter and framed policeman on the run, he'll be coming to the popular fighting game next month. The next two are of particular interest though, as Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 is set to join the roster in early 2027, while the (formerly dead) SF6 story mode character Bosch will be capping off the pass next Spring.
Crimson Desert's upcoming DLC decides it's The Sims now, I guess Charting the Unknown somehow adds even more stuff to the game that does everything. Crimson Desert is like the videogame version of a 6-in-1 shampoo—it does just about everything, and with its upcoming DLC Charting the Unknown, I guess that also includes The Sims. Today's State of Play showed off a trailer with what we can expect to see, and there's a lot. Some other bits I noticed include: - Running on water - Underwater traversal, including grabbing onto a shark like some sort of aquatic Uber - Both a traditional looking ship and something more steampunk-looking - Fellow Greymane Andrew cheffing it up in the castle - Some crazy laser-eyed mechanical cyclops monster The most surprising part of all of this, though?
