Yes, the GTA 6 leaked footage was probably running on PC, and no, that doesn’t tell us a whole lot about the eventual release

Footage from GTA 6 has been leaked, reportedly captured from an actual build of the game. Industry insiders suggest that the footage is likely from a PC version rather than a console, with two developers from major studios confirming this theory. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick indicated that the initial focus will be on console gamers. The leaked footage shows impressive visuals, raising questions about the hardware needed for optimal performance, with speculation about the necessity of high-end graphics cards. Initial impressions suggest a frame rate closer to 30 fps, and while the visuals look promising, the exact settings are unknown. The gaming community is left to speculate about hardware requirements and the potential for a PC release.

I’m a decade-plus FromSoftware sicko, and these are my 5 takeaways from the first Duskbloods gameplay

Veteran Soulsborne YouTubers VaatiVidya and Oroboro have shared gameplay videos for The Duskbloods, an exclusive PvPvE title for the Switch 2. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the project lead, has discussed the game with IGN and Automaton. The design of Duskbloods resembles the level layouts of Nightreign, emphasizing verticality and exploration, contrasting with Elden Ring's landscapes. Visuals in Duskbloods evoke Bloodborne, featuring hooded ogres similar to Church Giants, a map reminiscent of Yharnam, a boss encounter in a cathedral, weapons akin to those in Elden Ring and Bloodborne, and thematic elements like a battle in a field of white flowers. The map's vertical density is compared to Shadow of the Erdtree and Nightreign. Concerns exist regarding FromSoftware's ability to maintain multiplayer balance and support, as well as the game's single-player content and potential PC release. The gaming community is eager for updates leading up to the network test.
