UPDATE 5PM BST: I contacted Fernando Rizo to see if I could find out more about what he shared on his podcast. In response, Rizo said: "I definitely don't want to oversell what I know - not privy to any internal Microsoft conversations. But I had spoken to a number of devs that had Game Pass deals in various stages of negotiation who were told the deals were on hold. I don't personally think this is the death of Game Pass or anything, probably just a new CEO wanting to get her feet under her desk and everyone aligned on strategy before the Game Pass team starts cutting cheques again."

It's no secret Tekken 8 has been in a tight spot for a good while, despite its strong debut in early 2024. High-profile departures of key staff like Tekken legend Katsuhiro Harada and game director Kohei Ikeda have deepened woes about the game and larger series' future after middling to outright terrible seasonal updates. New characters and patches are on their way, however - and it seems that Bob's long-awaited arrival later this summer could be a major win.

The overwhelming talking point this week surrounding the Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order announcements - and details of the game's price and varying versions - has undeniably been the game box and what's inside it.

The biggie for me was always the one with the Sabre Turbo. Poised at a crossroads, black with an impossible shine, like an oil slick on tarmac, reflections iridescent. A fool in a red sports car in front, the city surrounding, mountains in the distance. A car coiled up at that intersection like the whole potential of that game's world was spring-loaded within it, waiting at the ready.

There's a timeline somewhere where a Destiny dating sim could have been released. That's according to two former Bungie staff who recalled pitching such an idea internally at the company. Former community manager Liana Ruppert was first to share the anecdote.

I recently finished reading Keza MacDonald's excellent Super Nintendo, a largely celebratory book about the company that "helped the world have fun", which nevertheless sounds a note of understandable caution at its conclusion. The author is concerned – and it's a concern I share – that Nintendo has been playing things too safe of late, that its release slate (with the odd exception) has become alarmingly conservative. It's time, surely, for the next Splatoon, and by that I don't mean Raiders. As hardware goes, Switch 2 is no big swing, and so far its software has generally followed suit; Super Nintendo rightly laments the loss of the "freewheeling creativity" of the Iwata era in particular. "Nintendo knows well the power of nostalgia," MacDonald writes. "But unless it continues to create new ideas alongside honouring its legacy, Nintendo won't be able to keep its cherished position in popular culture."

What is the Steam Machine? I must admit I've spent a good portion of my time with the thing trying to figure that question out. Valve will tell you, as they told us, that it's essentially been made for the people who want to bring their existing PC library - on Steam and elsewhere - to the living room. It's a noble goal, and one the company's been toying with for more than a decade, since its introduction of Big Picture Mode as far back as 2012, through the original wave of third-party Steam Machines that launched in 2015, to the Steam Link and beyond.
