Games Media always running defence for Sony sadly. (Not surprising when it's Push Square though)

Gears of War E-Day early access is here, and I jumped into Act 1 on Xbox Series X! Graphics usually aren't a big deal to me, but this is probably the best looking game I've played in 2026. Gears is back and it's phenomenal. youtube.com/watch?v=1x84... #GearsOfWar #XboxSeriesX

11 years after launch, more witchers are now walking the Path across the Continent than ever before. Seeing so many of you set out on this journey for the very first time, or relive it once more, means the world to us. Thank you for putting your trust in us, all these years later. ❤️

Stream graph shows numbers of players over time for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The graph spikes at launch in 2015, in 2016, in 2020, in 2022, and in 2023, but the peak comes upon Remastered's launch in 2026. Numbers across the top represent the number of current players, the 24-hour peak, and the all-time peak, all at 119,852.
