"Going gold" announcements are kind of a nebulous thing in these digital days, but sometimes it's still nice to hear that a game is on track and ready for release. As such, Insomniac Games announced today that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has gone gold.
This means that the game is finished and ready to be released. This doesn't rule out a day one patch or anything of course.
The Switch version has also obviously been canceled.
Saber Interactive announced that Evil Dead: The Game is officially dead. The game will not receive any additional content and the planned Nintendo Switch version has also been canceled. Servers for the existing PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions will remain active "for the foreseeable future."

I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.

Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!
Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.
Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...
Those who bought the Silver or Gold editions of Payday 3 are able to start playing right now, a whole three days ahead of its "official" release on September 21. This Early Access release of Payday 3 does grant full access to the game ahead of the 21st. Meaning that if you and three buddies all bought the more expensive versions of the game, you could be heisting right this second.

Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
