Grand Theft Auto 6's 27-minute extended look hit number one on Netflix's movie chart in 87 countries. Gal Gadot broke her silence on the messy DC Studios transition. And the Tupac verdict continues to reverberate, with the detective who led the case calling it vindication.
Two stories today blur the line between movies and games, but in very different ways.
GTA 6's 27-minute extended look hit number one on Netflix's movie chart in 87 countries. The game isn't out yet, but its promotional content is already outperforming actual films on the platform.
Space.com rounded up upcoming sci-fi games including Star Wars: Galactic Racer, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4, and the next Mass Effect. It's a useful guide for anyone trying to track what's actually coming versus what's still vaporware.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 on Switch 2 includes MGS4 and Peace Walker. The review calls it a strong compilation, which matters because the first volume had some technical issues that needed patching.
Gal Gadot and Donald Trump both made headlines for how they talk about the business of making entertainment.
Gal Gadot said DC Studios handled the transition from Zack Snyder's era "not elegantly," and clarified that executives never asked her to leave as Wonder Woman. It's the most direct public criticism of James Gunn and Peter Safran's leadership from a former star.
Trump doubled down on a federal tax incentive for film and TV production, with SAG-AFTRA and other unions praising the bill. The details are still vague, but the political coalition forming around it is worth watching.
A day after the guilty verdict, the focus shifts to the people who spent decades chasing the case.
Former LAPD detective Greg Kading, who led the Tupac investigation, said the Keffe D verdict feels like vindication after decades of the case going cold. His reaction adds weight to the resolution of hip-hop's most infamous murder.
Rep. Jonathan Jackson recalled witnessing Tupac after the 1996 shooting and said the verdict brought back traumatic memories. His frustration that justice took too long is a reminder the case haunted more than just the investigators.
