Overview
- Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake earlier in November and it has earned very high critical praise, with a reported Metacritic score of 96/100.
- Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told GamesBeat the Zelda remake is "terrific" and said entertainment titles mostly compete for consumers’ time rather than in a strict head-to-head manner.
- Grand Theft Auto VI is days away and has posted presales that reportedly exceeded expectations while being sold as a digital-first product with physical boxes containing download codes.
- Rockstar confirmed GTA VI will run at 30 frames per second on PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S, and that the game will be playable on Xbox One through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
- Questions about a Switch 2 port remain unresolved after Nintendo deferred to Take-Two and Rockstar, and the digital-only approach could change how retailers, reviewers and players discover and buy major releases.
