    Is this surprising? Is this really news?

    If you really thought that the Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 would be free, I really don't know what to tell you. It won't be free. This was confirmed by CD Projekt Red PR director Radek Grabowski in an interview with Games Radar.

    Warner Bros. Games announces that the start of Season 2 for MultiVersus is underway with Marvin the Martian leading the charge.

    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,...
