Keep your GTA 6, the news I can finally play the console-exclusive DLC for Saints Row 2 from 2009 on PC is what I’ve been waiting for

In 2009, three DLC packs for Saints Row 2 were released: Ultor Exposed, Corporate Warfare, and the Unkut Pack. The first two DLCs focused on missions against the Ultor Corporation and added new vehicles, clothing, and a unique NPC homie voiced by Tera Patrick. The Unkut Pack, which included over 60 customization options, was only available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, leaving PC gamers without access to this content. The PC version of Saints Row 2 faced bugs and lacked certain features, such as the Balding Mullet hairstyle. Currently, players can enhance their experience with the Juiced Patch 9.0.0+, although some mods may have compatibility issues. To install the PC DLC, players need to download it and unzip it into the Saints Row 2 root directory.

How Poppy Playtime made ‘free game, paid DLC’ work on PC

GameDiscoverCo held its annual offsite gathering, discussing various industry developments. Footprints.gg reported significant buzz for Forza Horizon 6 ahead of its launch, with GTA 6 also trending due to trailer speculation. Xbox plans include Project Saluki, a new Game Pass tier for the Chinese market, and Positron, potentially introducing a disc-to-digital entitlement program. Steam's bundle discounting interface has sparked discussions about pricing strategies. The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for May includes Star Wars Outlaws and Red Dead Redemption 2. Roblox is experiencing shifts in user-generated content rights and cost models. The Source 2-powered s&box has launched on Steam, but interest is waning. Hushcrasher's analysis indicates rising game production costs are due to project scope rather than base costs. Concurrent user metrics suggest week one sales can reach 20 times peak concurrent users. Poppy Playtime, a horror puzzle game, has expanded from a free title to four paid chapters, with Huggy Wuggy becoming a popular character. Mob Entertainment, founded by brothers with a background in 3D animation, has seen Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 sell 408,000 copies on Steam and 19,000 on Epic Games Store. The free base game has 2.76 million downloads on Steam since the chapter's release. The franchise's revenue from four DLCs exceeds a million on Steam, with potential total revenue approaching 100 million when including console and mobile sales. The development team employs a parallel strategy for annual chapter releases, with varying DLC structures across platforms. The pricing of DLC has increased over time, reflecting greater ambition in production. Game director Bryce Clark emphasizes balancing puzzles and chase sequences to enhance player experience.

Jonathan Rogers, the director of Path of Exile, discussed his approach to scheduling major updates for the game, noting that the timing of other game releases rarely affects their schedule.

Path of Exile 2 is expected to release around the same time as Grand Theft Auto 6, which launches on November 19.
