While many players say a focused 20-hour story is perfectly fine for a cinematic action game, others argue that paying $70 for a mostly single-player experience that can be finished in a weekend simply feels too expensive in today’s market.

IO Interactive reportedly described the campaign length as being around 20 hours for the average player, not including extra replay-focused modes like Tactical Simulator missions. A lot of fans are also defending the game by comparing it to titles like Uncharted and older linear action games, arguing that shorter, polished experiences are better than bloated 100-hour open worlds filled with filler content.

The cosplay quickly spread across anime and gaming communities, with fans praising how accurately Sambuz captured Leon’s older, battle-worn look from the game.

From the detailed hairstyle and facial stubble to the piercing blue eyes and dark suit, the cosplay looks almost photorealistic. Many fans even said the photos resemble official promotional images more than fan-made content. Titled “Through the Darkness,” the cosplay was shared during the peak hype surrounding Resident Evil 9, helping it become one of the most talked-about cosplay posts online.

• PS4 players are reportedly getting PlayStation messages/emails telling them to upgrade to PS5 for GTA 6.

• The message directly mentions being ready for Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19, 2026.

• Rockstar’s official site also lists GTA 6 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only at launch.

• Too many signs now… that November 19 date looks locked in.

💬 The argument is that the industry may struggle to sell other games at $80 if GTA 6 launches at the usual $70 price.

🏢 The analyst believes it could be in Take-Two’s interest to raise the price point and help push the entire industry forward.

🚀 The reason this matters is simple: GTA 6 has enough hype to take the initial backlash if it launches at $80.

💰 Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick still hasn’t confirmed the final price, saying the goal is to deliver something amazing while making sure the price feels fair to players.

⚠️ The bigger concern is what happens after — if GTA 6 breaks the $70 ceiling, other publishers may use it as the excuse to make $80 the new standard.

“We have not yet decided on at what timing we will launch the new console, or at what prices. So we would like to really observe and follow the situation.”

"Looking at the current circumstances, the memory price is also expected to be very high FY 2027, because there will still be a shortage of supply. So under that assumption, we must think carefully what we will do.”

“We would like to think about various simulations, including changing business models to come up with the best solution and strategy,”

He also stated they do not have any plans to further increase the price of the PS5 and they want to keep the PS5 at the current price!

"We had just had a price increase, so for the next price increase we don't have that in plan. We will keep this current price so that we can manage the business based on this current price."

Rising DRAM prices, fueled heavily by AI data center demand, are creating major pressure on console hardware budgets, forcing Sony to carefully balance performance and affordability.

He submitted a feature request to Pearl Abyss suggesting they add a vendor in Hernand that resells any unique items players had previously sold, even at a heavy markup. He explained the request by mentioning the Scorchflame Chest Plate as a personal example.

He didn't ask for the item back. He just used it as context.

Pearl Abyss never replied to the ticket.

Yesterday he opened the chest in his camp and the Scorchflame Chest Plate was sitting inside it.

No email. No notification. No fanfare. The studio just quietly put the item back in his storage.

The rest of the industry is launching investigation queues that take six weeks to assign a case number... if you're lucky.

Pearl Abyss keeps proving that the small things are the big things.
