In today's Daily Fix:Assassin's Creed Shadows has had its share of controversy during development, and Ubisoft is issuing a Day 1 patch to address one of them. Amid a bunch of other smaller changes, the Day 1 patch also makes it so players can't destroy the environment inside temples. Some objects inside temples can still be destroyed, provided they are generic objects found elsewhere in the game, but certain tables and racks can't be destroyed. In other news, Xbox's Phil Spencer wants to adapt more Microsoft IP to movies or shows. The Halo series failed to connect with fans, but Xbox has had success with the Fallout show, which may provide the blueprint for other live-action adaptations. And finally, the hardest level in Split Fiction has been beaten, and the first pair to do it won a one-of-a-kind real-life prize from Hazelight Studios.

In today's Daily Fix:Sony is raising the price of select models of the PS5 in several regions, except the U.S. This is likely to counter the expected U.S. tariffs that could his the gaming industry hard in the coming months. The U.S. is the PS5's largest territory and Sony would want to protect the region from rising costs, but that means making up the difference elsewhere. In other news, Call of Duty: Warzone received a shot in the arm as the original Verdansk map has proven to be a hit with fans. The game saw a spike in concurrent players and positive feedback, and Activision has teased more Verdansk-related content in the future. And speaking of shots in the arm, Assassin's Creed Shadows is proving to be the boost that Ubisoft has needed. While it's not the franchise's biggest launch ever, it is currently the second-best-selling game of the year, behind Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds. The game also saw two million players in its first weekend, and strong reviews from critics and longtime fans.…

In today's Daily Fix:In an ongoing lawsuit regarding Ubisoft's shutdown of the online racing game, The Crew, Ubisoft is insisting that customers don't own the games they buy, instead they're purchasing a license to play those games. Ubisoft claims that legal print in the The Crew, as well as on the packaging of physical copies, clearly state that Ubisoft can shutdown the game with 30 days' notice. This could have larger ramifications in the games industry, considering how many live-service games are already popular. In other news, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild will cost gamers a pretty penny if they're buying the Switch 2 enhanded editions from scratch. If you don't already own a Switch 1 copy of Breath of the Wild, a new Switch 2 version will cost a full $70, and DLC is not included (which is an extra $20). Current owners can upgrade for $10, and members of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack get it for free. And finally, kids are going absolutely ballistic for A Minecraft Movie.…

In today's Daily Fix:Xbox has announced their big summer showcase, followed immediately by an Outer Worlds 2-focused Direct. And they just happen to line up on the final day of this year's IGN Live, so come join us for live coverage of the Xbox Showcase, and more! In other news, Hades 2 will be a timed console exclusive for the Switch 2. The game will also come to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, but PlayStation and Xbox users will have to wait a bit. And finally, the Switch 2 GameCube controller might only work on GameCube Classics titles from Nintendo Switch Online. Bummer, if you were hoping to play Smash Bros. Ultimate with the new GameCube controller, but then again, it might work and Nintendo is just covering their bases just in case.…

In today's Daily Fix:Experts are weighing in on the Nintendo Switch 2's hefty price tag, and the short answer is: Nintendo can charge that price because they can probably get away with it. Nintendo postponed U.S. and Canadian preorders for the new system in light of the Trump Administration's trade war with practically every country in the Switch 2's supply chain. In other news, Bungie's Marathon is getting a livestream with new gameplay, and the date was discovered by fans who decoded Marathon's ARG. And finally, Death Stranding's movie adaptation has a director: Michael Sarnoski who helmed last year's underrated A Quiet Place: Day One, and 2021's Nicholas Cage drama, Pig.…

In today's Daily Fix:The Nintendo Switch 2 has been the talk of the gaming world ever since last week's Nintendo Direct deep dive into the system and its launch line-up. Unfortunately it hasn't all been glowing praise, with many criticizing Nintendo's decison to make Mario Kart World—the Switch 2's headlining launch title—a whopping $80 for the game itself. In an exclusive interview with IGN, Nintendo's Bill Trinen has explained why they think the game is worth the hefty price tag. In related news, it's been revealed that another Switch 2 launch title, Welcome Tour, will cost $10, which doesn't sound so bad at first, but many gamers think the game should have been a pack-in title with the system itself. And finally, in gaming-adjecent news, A Minecraft Movie has already broken box office records by having the biggest domestic opening weekend of any animated movie ever.…

Nintendo has taken the unprecedented decision to delay Switch 2 pre-orders in the U.S., blaming the impact of Trump’s tariffs and “evolving market conditions.” There was already a backlash about the price of the Switch 2 and certain games -- Mario Kart World, in particular. What if Nintendo has to increase its prices even further?…
In today's Daily Fix:It's been more than a day since Nintendo's deep dive into the new Switch 2 and its software lineup. The consensus seems to be that it's more powerful than expected, but also way more expensive than most people thought, especially for games. Mario Kart World will retail for a whopping $79.99 in the U.S. (and more for physical copies in different regions). What does this mean for Grand Theft Auto 6? A release date hasn't been announced, and this could very well be an $80 game. Would you pay that much for GTA 6? In other news, Xbox's Game Pass Wave 1 for April has been revealed, headlined by South of Midnight. And finally, pets are coming to InZOI.…
In today's Daily Fix:It's the big day: the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct went live this morning and as expected we got a much deeper look at the Switch 2's hardware and features. Nintendo also gave details on the games lineup, with some major third-party games coming to the new console. One title that barely got a mention, but is one of the most anticipated games of the year, was Hollow Knight: Silksong, which is confirmed for 2025. Nintendo also revealed the release date and pricing for the Switch 2, along with the pre-order date. Sorry, it wasn't today as many hoped, but next week. So get your wallets ready, it's going to be an expensive day.…
In today's Daily Fix:Tom Holland is a busy guy these days. He's currently filming Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, and will then go right to production on the next Spider-Man film, which now has an official title and release date. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will arrive in theatres July 31, 2026, just a couple of weeks after Nolan's The Odyssey hits screens. As you can probably guess by the title, the new movie will take some inspiration from the Brand New Day story arc in Spider-Man comics. In other kind of related news, Venom in Marvel Rivals has a emote: twerking. The emote is free for April Fool's Day, and will likely stick around past Season 1. And finally, we have an approximate runtime for tomorrow's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. The Direct will be Nintendo's longest so far, running about an hour.…

In today's Daily Fix:For almost a year and a half, we've only had one Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer to to analyze, scrutinize, and hypothesize over, and according to publisher Take-Two Interactive, that's not changing anytime soon. CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed to Bloomberg that the company isn't ready to share more marketing materials until closer to the game's release date, which also hasn't been revealed. Speaking of release dates, Ghost of Yōtei doesn't have one just yet, but more details of the game's plot have been revealed. And finally, the mythical Nintendo DS port of Halo wasn't axed by Microsoft as many believed. According to a developer who worked on it, the game was actually canned by Nintendo.…

In today's Daily Fix:The Legend of Zelda movie finally has a release date: March 26th, 2027. For such an anticipated project, Nintendo chose the most low-key way of announcing the date: via their new Nintendo Today news app. They did just have a Nintendo Direct yesterday, which did not contain any mention of the movie, and they also have a Switch 2-focused Direct next week; both of those would have more obvious options to drop the news. Elsewhere in games, Ubisoft and Tencent have formed a new subsidiary company that will handle some of Ubi's big IPs like Far Cry, Rainbow Six, and Assassin's Creed. And finally, new Sims challenger InZOI is still in early access, and players have already found a bug that will let you run over children with a car. Yes, it's already patched.…
In today's Daily Fix:Today was probably Nintendo's Direct dedicated to the Switch 1, with next week's big Switch 2 blow-out ushering in a new era in gaming. But that didn't stop Best Buy Canada from accidentally posting—and then deleting—the preorder date for the Switch 2. According to Best Buy Canada, they will start taking preorders on April 2nd, the same day as the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct. In related news, today's Direct revealed a new Nintendo news app, which features another look at the Switch 2's Joy-Con, and that mysterious button that we now know as the 'C' button. And finally, yesterday Marvel held a 5-hour-long stream revealing the cast of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. We break down some of the reveals.…

In today's Daily Fix:Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet doesn't have an official release date, but according to Bloomberg, the game may not make it out until 2027 at the earliest. That would make it seven years into the life of the PlayStation 5, and there's a good chance Sony will have already announced the PS6. Could Intergalactic be withheld from the current-gen PS5 and be a launch title for the PS6? And would that mean Naughty Dog has missed the PS5 generation entirely, outside of remakes and remasters? Speaking of release dates, CD Projekt has confirmed that the upcoming The Witcher 4 will not be released earlier by the end of 2026, which means another 2027 release date at the earliest. And finally, Nintendo has one last Direct aimed specifically at the Switch 1, a week before the big Switch 2 reveal in April. We may finally get the deep dive on Metroid Prime 4 that we've been waiting for.…

In today's Daily Fix:Assassin's Creed Shadows has been a hit with critics and with fans, boasting huge first- and second-day player concurrents in the millions. However, Ubisoft has not released sales figures (yet), and cautions that Shadows' sales performance shouldn't be compared to the last mainline AC game, Valhalla, which was released at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when everyone was staying home and playing games anyway. Shadows instead should be compared to Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Origins, and Mirage, which was the most recent release before Shadows. In other news, two major games just received big updates—Monster Hunter Wilds is getting its first big patch, and Civilization 7 has a new update that addresses much-needed quality-of-life issues.…

In today's Daily Fix:Take-Two, the owners of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, have issued a take-down of another fan-made mod. YouTuber Dark Space has posted a video explaining what happened with his mod that put what he believed to be an accurate GTA 6 map into GTA 5. Dark Space argues that such moves hurt Take-Two's relationship with the community, the same community that makes its games popular in the first place. In other news, there's a not-zero percent chance that the popular online game Palworld makes its way to the Nintendo Switch 2, given the system is powerful enough to run it. That might be a little weird, considering developer Pocket Pair is involved in a lawsuit with Nintendo. And finally, MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle finally has a PS5 release date.…
