Today Take-Two Interactive Software announced new sales numbers for Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 during its quarterly financial conference call.
We learn that Red Dead Redemption 2 has shipped 43 million units worldwide. Grand Theft Auto V passed 160 million shipments.
Historically, the Grand Theft Auto series has shipped over 370 million units cumulatively. The Red Dead Redemption franchise has shopped over 65 million units cumulatively. Those are certainly crazy numbers for both franchises.
Of course, Take-Two chief executive officer Strauss Zelnick also boasted about engagement that remains strong for the online spin-offs of both games.
Recently, we learned that Grand Theft Auto V is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 15 with a slew of new features. The game is currently available for PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The next chapter of the beloved franchise has also been confirmed in development at Rockstar.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. If you’d like to know why it’s is so well-loved by the fans, you can check out our review.
If you’re interested in Take-Two Interactive Software’s financial performance, you can read our dedicated article from earlier today.
Today Take-Two Interactive Software announced its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2022, which ended on Dec. 31, 2021.
Below you can check out a summary of the company’s performance, which is defined “strong” in the press release.
We also hear that the outlook for the full fiscal year for net bookings has been raised to between $3.37 billion and $3.42 billion.
Cited among the major contributors to the results are NBA 2K22 and NBA 2K21, Grand Theft Auto Online and Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Borderlands 3, and Two Dots.
The press release also included the traditional comment from Chief Executive Officer Strauss Zelnick, who boasted about the results and talked about the acquisition of Zynga, on top of delivering the usual tease about the “pipeline of new intellectual properties and eagerly anticipated sequels” which he does basically every quarter.
***The following article contains MAJOR spoilers for the entirety of Attack on Titan up until this point. If you haven’t seen up until Season 4, Episode 21 of Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2, please come back after you’ve watched it.***
Considering the first episode ever of Attack on Titan is called To You, 2,000 Years From Now, anyone that saw that the most recent episode of Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 was called From You, 2000 Years Ago had to know that this one was going to be full of insane reveals and foreshadowing. Even knowing that ahead of time couldn’t have prepared fans for what came in S4 E21.
Whether it was the flashback to Ymir, Erin’s rebirth, or The Rumbling coming to life, just about every minute of From You, 2000 Years Ago was an absolute thrill ride. And yet, the craziest thing is that Attack on Titan pretty much showed that this entire episode was going to happen years ago.
If you don’t believe me, simply watch the Ending Theme for Attack on Titan Season 2.
In the video above, just about every major event is shown. We’ve even given you a side-by-side comparison right down below (ED is Left, Recent Episode is Right):
Telltale Games went through a resurrection and reinvention after its shutdown in 2018, but returned shortly after with a return to one of its fan-favorite series in 2019: The Wolf Among Us 2. We learned more about the game in December of 2020 and then Telltale Games shared some more a year later, shortly after Game Informer’s feature about this new iteration of the studio, its Wolf Among Us sequel, and its upcoming game based on The Expanse went live.
If you’re still craving some more information about The Wolf Among Us 2, then you’re in luck because Telltale Games has some more information to share this week. More specifically, the studio has announced a behind-the-scenes look at the game happening this Wednesday, February 9, at 10 a.m. PT/Noon CT/1 p.m. EST.

Death's Door is a great little game. I've been meaning to play it properly for a while, ever since I was told that you can slice signposts in half and then when you try and read it there's only half of the text left. And so what better game, I thought, to test out the new cloud gaming beta on the Xbox this weekend? (In fact, I ended up downloading the game because it streamed fine at like 10am but at peak times it went all pixely, like someone had huffed on my glasses.)
Reader, I bloody love Death's Door. Like Katharine said, it's kind of a more gentle Soulslike, with a Studio Ghibli-esque flair to the character design and world. Also, there are fun jokes like a gravedigger being called Steadhone and stuff. But I also hate Death's Door, because it's still not an easy game, and I think I ended up playing it improperly this weekend.
Today third-party developers had news and releases to share about their add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
We start with FlyByWire which announced its popular A32NX Airbus A320 Neo add-on received a CPDLC implementation in its development version.
Below you can look at what it looks like and you can read extensive instructions on how to make it work on the developer’s website.
Tommy Tallarico, the founder of Intellivision Entertainment and its CEO since the company formed in 2018, has stepped down from the role of CEO, to be replaced by former chief revenue officer Phil Adam.
According to a statement provided by the company, Tallarico will remain on board as the company's president, as well as its largest shareholder.
"As a 30+ year industry executive, I am excited to transition into the CEO role at Intellivision," Adam said. "As a business closing in on the last phase before launch, Tommy felt it important to provide focused roles so he can continue to do the things he loves the most. As always, we will be working hand in hand to bring Amico to the market."
Intellivision said in a statement to IGN that the management shift came in tandem with the beginning of the production of the Intellivision Amico console and that the move was "to better align its resources with those new challenges."
The Amico has struggled to get out the door thus far, with Intellivision announcing three separate delays to its release since the console's original planned launch in October 2020. It was most recently pushed to the end of 2021, but that too has come and gone and the console is still not in the wild as of February 2022. IGN Middle East was able to go hands-on with the console in May of 2021.
Several unique items have yet to be unearthed in the PlayStation 5 remake of Demon’s Souls, trusted modder and dataminer Lance McDonald recently stated on Twitter. That said, he’s not quite ready to give up the details.
If you made it past the first boss of Sifu, Fajar, you might feel unstoppable…at least until you get to the second stage. This level, known as The Club, is capped off with one of the toughest bosses in the entire game. Sean (The Fighter), as he’s called, is tremendously more technical than the previous boss, so it’s easy to understand how a player might get stuck. Here’s how to take down the Sean boss in Sifu.
As soon as the fight begins, you can run to either side of the arena, to pick up a staff, but we actually recommend skipping this since you won’t need it. If you do decide to grab a weapon, you’ll want to run away quickly after you pick it up. Make sure you’re aware of where Sean is so you don’t get hit while arming yourself. Once you’ve got your bearings and have a little distance between you and the boss, slowly approach him so you can begin your assault. Though, given the method we’ll be using, having a weapon isn’t necessary.
The key with this boss is to dodge his attacks by holding L1 and pressing the left stick in the opposite direction of the strike. For instance, to duck under a sweep, hold L1 and press down on the left stick. We advise using this method instead of trying to block, as Sean’s attacks hit hard, causing your structure to break quickly.
Last March, Assassin's Creed co-creator Jade Raymond unveiled Haven Entertainment Studios, a new independent developer that would be creating a brand-new IP for PlayStation - and now, just under a year later, early details on the project have emerged, calling it a "persistent and evolving online" game for PlayStation 5 and PC.
That's according to Montreal-based French-language publication Le Devoir (via Google Translate), which sheds a little more light on Haven's ambitions - with accompanying quotes from Raymond and fellow co-founders - as part of a short profile piece on the studio.

A batch of digital Nintendo Switch games are 33% off on Amazon for a limited time. While the list of discounted games is short, it includes some of the best Switch exclusives, including Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, two Zelda titles, and more.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a port of the 2D platformer originally released on Wii U. The Switch version is just as fun--and difficult--as the Wii U version, but features a new “Funky Kong mode” that makes the game a bit more approachable for newcomers.
Call of Duty Mobile's Lunar New Year–themed Season 1: Heist is ending soon, but the developer is already teasing a nighttime variant of a classic Modern Warfare 3 map and new gun for the mobile game's second season of 2022.
Call of Duty Mobile's Season 1 battle pass is set to expire in 17 days. Assuming Call of Duty Mobile's previous start times are followed, Season 2 should arrive on February 23 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. However, release times are subject to change.
The mobile version of Call of Duty serves up a lot of nostalgia with seasonal content continuing to add multiplayer maps from past games, and Season 2 is now teasing the arrival of Modern Warfare 3's Hardhat with a slightly new look.

Anyone who wants to check out Minecraft's latest features without endangering their 100+ hour world can safely begin to do so thanks to a new feature being added to the game. Called Minecraft Preview, players will be able to safely test any additions to the game available in its latest beta builds and keep their normal world available at the same time.
Currently, Minecraft Preview is only available to users playing the game on iOS and Windows 10/11, as well as those in the Xbox Insiders program. Minecraft Preview will eventually replace Minecraft Beta, although the feature is still available on Xbox, Windows, and Android devices.
Minecraft Preview's main improvement from Minecraft Beta is simply that players won't have to worry about deleting their precious worlds. Minecraft Beta would previously move existing worlds over to the beta build of the game. However, when reverting back to the release version, worlds could sometimes be lost or become corrupted. Mojang has previously warned users to back up their worlds before participating in a beta, but Minecraft Preview should fix the issue entirely.
Anyone who has access to Minecraft Preview will be able to download it as a completely separate app. For Xbox Insiders and anyone on Windows, Minecraft Preview will simply show up as an app that can be downloaded and installed. Anyone playing Minecraft on an iOS device can do the same but will have to sign up for the beta on Apple's TestFlight site.
Rocket Panda Games released a new gameplay trailer of the upcoming 2D fighting game Phantom Breaker: Omnia introducing one of the playable characters.

Prior to its dissolution, Telltale Games created a ton of episodic adventure games, and one of the most exciting was The Wolf Among Us. The fairy tale story based on the Fables comic series was never given a sequel, but that's changing soon, and the revived incarnation of Telltale is set to show off the game very soon.
Streaming at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET on Wednesday, February 9, The Wolf Among Us 2's behind-the-scenes "Greetings From Fabletown" presentation will be hosted by Geoff Keighley. Though it looks like The Wolf Among Us 2 will be the star of the show, a nebulous "+ more" in the announcement tweet suggests we could get information about other games, too. It will air on both Twitch and YouTube. The stream will run for about 30 minutes and will feature in-game footage, including the first official trailer.
Greetings from Fabletown!

Season 12 of Apex Legends is underway, and it has brought with it a new limited-time Control mode that is shaking things up the Outlands and promising no shortage of fun to be had during the mode's three-week lifespan. Control is a 9v9 objective-based mode that sees players work together to capture and hold zones, not unlike Domination modes from popular games like Call of Duty and Battlefield. Infinite respawns, rapid shield regeneration, and loadout options provide the type of traditional gameplay you have come to expect from standard first-person shooters, but we've still got a few tips to increase your chances of success.
Playing with your team in Apex Legends' battle royale mode is highly recommended, but it's downright imperative in Control. Unlike in battle royale, where teams are often very split and preoccupied, Control is an extremely hectic mode with less of an emphasis on exploration and looting. Because of this, you and your team are going to be pushed frequently and in greater numbers.
Sticking by your teammates means that you can complement each other with your abilities for maximum protection or aggression, or you can simply cover each other while your shields recharge. Additionally, working together to take objectives and kill enemies also increases your rating in the match, giving you access to better versions of your guns that can make you a force to be reckoned with.
This is a little PSA to note that Horizon Forbidden West, Guerrilla Games’ highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn, is $10 cheaper if you pre-order it through your PlayStation 4 rather than buying the PlayStation 5 version.
If you've been waiting for more info on The Wolf Among Us 2, you'll be able to watch a 30-minute news event on February 9 that will reveal the first official trailer, as well as details on the upcoming sequel.
Geoff Keighley announced that he will be hosting the half-hour stream and it will include the premiere of the first official trailer captured in-game. The event will then go behind the scenes to reveal more about the development of the upcoming Fables video game.

You’ll have to wait your turn Publishers Izanagi Games and NIS America announced that the intriguing and dramatic shmup Yurukill:...
The post Yurukill: The Calumniation Games pushed back to early July appeared first on Destructoid.
EA has revealed its official Madden NFL 22 prediction that the Cincinnati Bengals will win Super Bowl 55, defeating the Los Angeles Rams by just three points. A tight game is expected with a 24-21 final score, though Madden has only predicted the exact score once — when the Patriots defeated the Seahawks 28-24 in 2015.
Once known for its frightening accuracy, Madden's Super Bowl predictions have fallen off in recent years. Nevertheless, Madden NFL has managed to be correct 61% overall since the tradition began in 2004.
Madden's simulation has the Bengals scoring first with a touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase, with the Rams equalizing with a four-yard run from Sony Michel. The Rams then take a halftime lead following a 32-yard catch and score from Cooper Kupp, followed by a touchdown from the Bengals early in the third, tying the game.
An intense fourth quarter proceeds in the simulation with a touchdown on each side, but in the closing seconds of the game, Joe Burrow leads a final drive for the Bengals who score and win their first Super Bowl title. It would be a perfect capper for long-suffering Bengals fans, many of whom surely remember Joe Montana tormenting them in the famous Super Bowls of the 1980s.
Some comfort for Rams fans: Madden was wrong in its prediction last year, saying the Kansas City Chiefs would defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by ten points. The real game ended in a 31-9 victory for the Bucs.
IGN said Madden NFL 22 was "okay", as the game "takes a small and unimpressive first step into the Xbox Series X and PS5 generation, with even its better new ideas hobbled by poor execution."
The only thing better than a great deal? A great deal that helps support a great cause, of course. Luckily, that's just what the folks at Humble do the best.
To celebrate the life of former Starbreeze Studios head Mikael Nermark, Humble has teamed up with the developer's friends, family, and colleagues across the games industry to "grant him one final birthday wish": a Humble bundle dedicated to funding cancer research.
Consisting of 13 games ranging from the asymmetrical survival horror title Dead by Daylight to Starbreeze Studios' Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the F*** Cancer Bundle contains nearly $300 USD worth of games. However, for just $10 USD, you can be the proud owner of every last one of 'em. Even better, 100% of your purchase will be donated to Cancerfonden (Swedish Cancer Society), an independent non-profit organization whose main mission is to defeat cancer.
As of right now, nearly 30,000 of these Bundles have been sold--and its only been on sale for three days. The F*** Cancer Bundle will remain on sale for until February 18 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. Here's a list of all the games included, as well as their current retail value on Steam.

Click here to watch embedded mediaApex Legends Season 12: Defiance drops tomorrow and Respawn Entertainment has released the full patch notes, detailing a buff for Crypto, a slight nerf for Caustic, and changes for both Olympus and Storm Point. The patch notes also detail two weapons being moved exclusively to the crafting station, as well as changes to the PvE elements of Storm Point.
The Season 12: Defiance patch notes provide a look at some of the biggest changes coming in the new season. While things like Mad Maggie's kit and the new LTM Control had already been revealed, some of the finer details are new. Olympus is getting an update with Season 12, with the map being expanded to try and get fire fights out of the center of the map. Storm Point, which was introduced last season, is having its Prowlers changed. The Prowlers will now do reduced damage to legends while providing more crafting materials for clearing out a nest.
The ranked system is getting tweaked with Season 12, lowering the amount of Ranked Points earned for getting the maximum number of kills, while increasing the amount of RP earned for reaching the top five. Crypto is getting a buff, allowing him to throw his drone in a straight line. The drone will now immediately begin scanning for enemies instead of forcing Crypto to pilot it immediately. If the thrown drone hits a wall or another obstacle, it will ricochet and turn around. The Neurolink detection FOV has been increased as well, so a wider range of enemies can be detected.
Developer Sloclap's beat-'em-up Sifu launches this week on PS4, PS5, and PC, and ahead of its debut, reviews for the game have begun to appear online. The launch of Sifu comes as the game has also been criticized for its cultural depictions. Khee Hoon Chan for TheGamer called Sifu a "soulless caricature."
The combat in Sifu takes the form of a style of kung fu known as Pak Mei. Players beat and bash enemies with quick attacks that can crunch ribs and break jawbones. Here at GameSpot, we scored the game a 9/10 in our Sifu review. Reviewer Richard Wakeling said the combat mechanics help make each hit feel "incredibly satisfying," with high praise for the game's environment layouts as well.
Sifu also has an aging mechanic that follows your character's story from a kid to an aged kung fu master. As you get older, your character's maximum health decreases but damage attributes grows thanks to the wisdom attained over a career fighting enemies.
"There are memorable moments that stand out throughout, such as the boss fights and an enjoyable recreation of the iconic hallway scene from Oldboy, but it's Sifu's combat that shines through most brightly," Wakeling said in GameSpot's review. "For as unique and interesting as its aging mechanic is, it wouldn't work without the combat carrying the load and ensuring that each replay is just as engaging as the last. Is one life enough to know kung fu? Maybe not. But I would happily spend mine playing Sifu to find out."
For a wider look at the critical reaction to Sifu, check out more review scores and excerpts below, while additional insight can be seen on GameSpot sister site Metacritic.

There's no denying that the ongoing semiconductor shortage has made it a challenging time to get your hands on a new GPU. Even if you can, you're often forced to pay well over the recommended retail price for it, with demand heavily outweighing available supply and thus creating a lucrative market for some unwelcome price gouging. It's what makes new releases of GPUs, such as the RTX 3050, so tricky. On paper, the latest graphics card from Nvidia delivers--it's a good GPU for 1080p gaming at high refresh rates, with the bonus of ray tracing and DLSS support. But if you can't find it for the price it's meant to be sold at, does that even matter anymore?
The RTX 3050 sits at the bottom of Nvidia's current line of new GPUs, positioned as this generation's budget card alongside significantly more expensive options such as the RTX 3060 and RTX 3070. It's evident that the price cut comes with its own share of concessions made on the hardware side. The GA106 GPU that the RTX 3050 uses is a slightly smaller version of the one in the RTX 3060, suggesting that Nvidia is making economical use of silicon it previously might have kept off shelves. That said, you're not going to get close to the same performance, even with the 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM that is shared between the two tiers of cards.
For starters, the RTX 3050 limits its memory to a 128-bit bus, drastically reducing its effective memory bandwidth to just 224GBps. This comes into play when trying to hit higher frame rates at 1440p, where the available memory on offer hits the mark but just doesn't have the raw speed to keep up. Elsewhere, the 2560 CUDA cores and 12 billion transistors initially make the RTX 3050 sound more like a replacement for the RTX 2060 from last generation, but its much lower Tensor Core count and effective memory bandwidth keep it well behind in real-world applications.

Much like the first game, Dying Light 2 is full of Easter eggs. Most of them are pretty out there, deviating from the game's post-zombie apocalypse setting, including the Pan of Destiny. A simple weapon once it's unlocked, actually getting the legendary frying pan is a bit time-consuming. Here's how you can get one of Dying Light 2's strangest secret weapons, the Pan of Destiny.
During your time playing Dying Light 2, you may have noticed some posters plastered around the city for "Space Cock," a TV show about a rooster that's been sent to space. Well, as it turns out there is a space-faring chicken, although not the one from the TV show. Found in the Renegade's fortress, the lone building in the Newfound Lost Lands region, you can only find the chicken after completing Dying Light 2's main story.
Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital and Sony AI are teasing a "breakthrough" collaboration set to be announced in full this Wednesday, 9th February.
Details are limited as present, as is the way with teases, with Sony AI's Twitter feed only saying that Wednesday will see it "launch [its] Gaming Flagship and announce a breakthrough project in AI created through a collab with Polyphony Digital Inc. and Sony Interactive Entertainment." The tweet is accompanied by an (equally unilluminating) video - also shared by Polyphony, alongside the words, "Change the game" - which you'll find below.

FromSoftware's catalog of games is synonymous with sweeping narrative design and challenging combat, the latter leading to some particularly memorable boss battles for millions of Soulsborne players. There are simply too many exciting encounters to list between all of Miyazaki's acclaimed projects.

Even Miyazaki chimed in on the boss he's most proud of!
An extensive post on the official PlayStation blog lists the developers from many prominent studios, including Insomniac Games, Bluepoint Games, Naughty Dog, Bend Studio, and Santa Monica Studios. I've cherry-picked some quotes from these developers and listed them below. To read all of the entries, be sure to head over to the PS blog.
Producer Randall Lowe – Bluepoint Games
"When you enter the Lothric chapel, the door closes, and the darkness engulfs the room. For me, one of the most memorable moments in games unfurled before my eyes. The Dancer, dangling from the pooled darkness, dropping down and sinuously moving to stand before my character."

With Microsoft set to acquire Activision Blizzard, EA is on the cusp of becoming gaming’s biggest western third-party publisher in terms of revenue and market cap. The company has sustained success for decades — despite notable controversies surrounding its business practices — thanks to a diverse portfolio of games, from mobile money makers and annual sports titles to AAA experiences from renowned in-house studios like Respawn, DICE, and BioWare.
Considering how difficult it is to keep track of all that’s going on within such a massive publisher, we decided to compile this list of every EA game we know to be in development for consoles and PC. (This list doesn’t include rumored projects or the publisher’s many phone games in development at Glu Mobile, Playdemic, or its other mobile-focused studios.)

Toho Movie announced that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has reached a revenue of 10.4 billion yen (~$90.4 million) with over 7.6 million tickets sold. The anime movie surpassed the 10 billion yen milestone 43 days after it came out in Japanese theaters on December 24, 2021.
The movie adaptation of Jujutsu Kaisen's prequel has become one of the most popular anime movies. It grossed over 5.8 billion yen with 4.3 million tickets sold within its first 11 days. However, it still did not come anywhere close to Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train. The Demon Slayer movie hit the 10 billion mark in just ten days after its release in October 2020.
The Japan Academy Film Prize Association had also put Jujutsu Kaisen 0 as one of the nominees for the Best Animation of the Year. The nominee list also includes Evangelion 3.0+1.01: Thrice Upon a Time. Revenue-wise, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 outpaced Evangelion, which needed four months from March to July 2021 to reach 10 billion yen. The association will announce the award winner in March 2022.
