GTA 6 skipping PC at launch not due to PlayStation deal, but because Rockstar focuses on “the core consumer,” Take-Two CEO says

GTA 6 will launch exclusively on consoles, with a PC version expected later. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick stated that this decision is to prioritize the core audience rather than due to a marketing deal with Sony. He emphasized that Rockstar traditionally releases on consoles first to serve its core consumers effectively. The significance of the PC market has increased, with PC sales for major titles now accounting for 45-50% of total revenue, compared to just 5% in the late 2000s. A leak suggests that the delay in the PC release may be influenced by the financial success of GTA Online, which generates 97% of its revenue from console players.

Massive Valve shipment rumor may hint at the Steam Machine’s launch window, but I have my doubts

A significant shipment of "Game Consoles" has arrived at Valve's warehouses, sparking rumors of an imminent Steam Machine launch. Brad Lynch reported that Valve is receiving a large quantity of these consoles, but it is unclear whether they are Steam Machines or restocks of the Steam Deck. The previous rumor about the Steam Controller had verifiable sources, while this latest rumor lacks such confirmation. The timing of the current shipment does not align with the schedule of the Steam Controller leak, raising skepticism about its authenticity. Valve has a self-imposed early 2026 deadline for the Steam Machine launch, with only eight weeks remaining until July.

Ookla’s Windows 11 Speedtest mockup looks suspiciously like macOS

Ookla and Microsoft announced a partnership to integrate Speedtest as the network performance testing platform across Bing and Windows, allowing Windows 11 users to check their internet speed from the taskbar.
