Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says that putting a game like Call of Duty into Game Pass will inevitably push consumers towards subscribing, at least for a bit. Take-Two does support subscription services through its legacy titles, yet it has been sceptical around the idea of putting brand new AAA games into the service on the day they come out. Zelnick told us in 2022: "That doesn't make any sense to us, because economically speaking, we don't think consumers are prepared to pay for that.

PlayStation 5 has now sold through four million consoles in the UK, GfK data reveals. It's the ninth console to achieve that feat in the UK, but took 31 weeks longer to get there than PlayStation 4. It's the fifth-fastest selling console in the UK, although it has a comparatively much higher price point than those ahead of it. PlayStation 1, for instance (which is the fourth-fastest) dropped to £129 after 76 weeks on sale and was under £100 by the time it reached four million sales.

Since MiHoYo released Genshin Impact in 2020, an irreversible shift in perception happened across the gaming industry and among many gamers: free-to-play mobile games can actually be good?! I'm being a bit cynical here, as it is undeniable that quality free-to-play mobile games were produced before, but Genshin Impact pushed the envelope. It set a new benchmark for what could, and would, be expected from a free mobile game: AAA-like production and presentation levels, an expansive open-world to

We all know, at this stage, that rumours of the death of the console were greatly exaggerated. This narrative took hold pretty strongly for about a decade, fuelled by the introduction of various smart devices – smartphones, smart TVs, and so on – and by some fairly optimistic notions about 5G and internet speeds in general.
