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: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: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.…
In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft may have accidentally leaked a mockup of how the Steam UI would look on Xbox. Via the Verge, the image was taken down soon after, but this adds more speculation to Microsoft's future Xbox plans and possible integration with Steam, Epic Games Store, and more. Xbox head Phil Spencer has already voiced support for letting gamers play their Steam library on Xbox consoles. In other news, Assassin's Creed Shadows is topping the charts after just one day since being released. According to Ubisoft, the game has seen 1 million players across all available platforms. Of course, sales data is not yet available, but the game is also riding high off strong critic and user reviews. And finally, co-op hit Split Fiction's success is catching the eye of Hollywood, and now a package is being put together to shop an adaptation to the big studios.…

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:The latest sales figures from Circana show the PlayStation 5 outpacing sales of the PS4. That's great news for Sony, as this current generation was slow to take off. On the Xbox side, there's not a lot of good news, as Series X and Series S sales are pacing behind last gen's Xbox One. In other news, a new Palworld update is available that finally enables crossplatform play. And finally, two gaming industry vets revealed plans to create an MCU-style interconnected universe for Marvel games, even before the MCU was even a thing.…

In entertainment news, the God of War live-action series has been greenlit for a second season by Amazon, but they haven't even announced the release date for Season 1 yet.

Via, Entertainment Weekly, the images feature Karl Urban as Cage with his signature sunglasses, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana with her deadly bladed fans, and Martyn Ford in full Shao Kahn make-up. The movie is out October 24th of this year. In other news, GameCub fans are getting excited over new Nintendo FCC filings. The documents show what appears to be a GameCube-style controller, likely for the Switch 2. This could mean GameCube games coming to the Switch, possibly for the Nintendo Switch Online service. And finally, after just nine months, Star Wars: Hunters is shutting down. The free-to-play battle royale game received decent reviews but failed to generate much hype.…

In today's Daily Fix:God of War is celebrating its 20th anniversary with free in-game content, called the Dark Odyssey collection, and IRL merch (that's not free). The update will be available March 20th for PlayStation and PC, while real-life events and merch will be available starting March 15th. In other news, the Knights of the Old Republic remake at Saber Interactive is apparently still alive and kicking, despite the devs not having shown anything from the game outside of the announcement teaser three years ago. We'll believe it when we see it, Saber. And finally, Pokémon Legends: Z-A has been rated E10+, a technically more mature rating than the usual E for Everyone rating Pokémon games usually get. What does that mean for content? More swearing? Excessive violence? Who knows!…

In today's Daily Fix:Prominent leaker NateTheHate dropped another one this week: the long-rumored Oblivion remake not only will be announced soon, but a release will follow shortly after.

1 Ubisoft Shareholder Threatens Protest After Alleged IP Talks with Microsoft, Others - IGN Daily Fix
In today's Daily Fix:A minority shareholder in Ubisoft is planning a protest against the company, claiming it's "horribly mismanaged." The shareholder alleges that Ubisoft has not been transparent and is "hiding information," including partnerships with the Savvy Group, and holding talks with Microsoft, EA, and others regarding possibly selling Ubisoft IP (maybe that's the only way we'll get a new Splinter Cell). In other news, EA's skate. is in closed alpha testing, but that isn't stopping them from selling microtransactions. EA claims this is to test the store feature to make sure it all works at launch. Mmm hmm. Any purchases made during this testing period will basically be converted back into in-game currency at launch. And speaking of EA, in positive news, Hazelight Studios' co-op Split Fiction not only is getting rave reviews, but sales as well. The game has sold 1 million copies in just 48 hours.…

In today's Daily Fix:A report from Windows Central details Microsoft's next-gen Xbox plans, and they include not only a new console, but two handhelds, one of which is due later this year. Microsoft has yet to comment on the report, but some of the details do line up with what Xbox's Phil Spencer said at IGN Live last year, that the company won't have its own handheld ready for at least a couple of years. In other news, Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann spoke with filmmaker Alex Garland about the upcoming sci-fi game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and how religion plays a big role in the game's story.

In today's Daily Fix:MachineGames' hit Indiana Jones adventure for Xbox could be making its PS5 debut very soon. The ESRB recently rated the PS5 port, suggesting that the release date could be around the corner. This tracks with the previous release window of Spring 2025 (and it's now Spring). The game was a huge hit for Xbox, racking up more than 4 million players thanks to a Day One Game Pass release. In related news, Forza Horizon 5 is dropping for PS5 soon, and it will require not only a PSN account, but a Microsoft account, as well. Yes, that's technically two logins you'll need to play the game. Some gamers are concerned that this kills future game preservation for the title, since any issues with one service could affect the game's playability (i.e. you lose access to your Microsoft account for any reason, and you won't be able to play the game at all). And finally, Happy MAR10 Day! It's unofficially a Nintendo holiday every March 10th, and to celebrate this year's, LEGO has dropped a new Mario Kart LEGO set.…

In today's Daily Fix:Grand Theft Auto 5's latest edition, an "Enhanced" port for PC, is getting slammed in its Steam reviews. Although it's free, the game requires a fresh install, and you need to port your saves and account over from the old legacy version. Plus, certain text communication features are missing, and there's of course bugs. Guess we get a new, but worse, GTA 5 before we get GTA 6, huh? In other news, Sony is starting a rental program for PS5 in the UK. The program will let gamers lease PS5 hardware, or other Sony hardware like the PlayStation Portal, for a fee. While this could be fine for people just wanting to try out the console before comitting, this isn't a rent-to-own or lease-to-own program, which could make it more expensive for prospective PS5 buyers. And finally, a Cheeto sold at auction for around $88,000 USD. But not just any Cheeto, a flamin' hot one that looks like everyone's favorite firebreathing Pokémon.…

In today's Daily Fix:The popular communications service Discord could become a publicly traded company in the future. The service has proven a hit with gamers and content creators, who use it for voice chat and group messaging, and so far it's been relatively devoid of third-party ads. But gamers are now worried that Discord going IPO could bring with it a deluge of ads. In other news, beta testers in the Xbox Insider program are urged caution when trying out the latest Xbox update. Users are reporting their profiles being removed from their consoles after the update. And finally, Sony has dropped some new gear: a Last of Us-branded DualSense controller with icons commemorating Ellie and Abby's dual journey in the acclaimed game saga.…

In today's Daily Fix: HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 will be dropping soon, but fans of the franchise hoping for a Part 3 of the game might be waiting a long, long time. Like forever. Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann recently told Variety that a Part 3 may never happen. However, Part 2's TV adaptation will go on for at least two seasons, so fans have that to look forward to. In other news, Marvel 1943's Black Panther recently let slip the game's tentative release window: Christmas 2025. While an official release date hasn't been given, a holiday launch doesn't seem too unreasonable. And finally, Nintendo just won another major lawsuit, this time against counterfeit Amiibo sellers. Nintendo and Amazon teamed up to take down sellers peddling Amiibo cards and other devices that mimic Amiibo functionality. Nintendo won with a judgement of $7 million, but since none of the accused responded to the lawsuit, we're not sure how Nintendo is going to collect.…

In today's Daily Fix:We still haven't seen a new trailer for GTA 6, but Rockstar is expanding its portfolio of studios. Rockstar recently acquired Video Games Deluxe, who worked on the re-release of L.A. Noire and its VR spinoff, and helped fix Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy—The Definitive Edition after its underwhelming launch. No word yet on how this impacts GTA 6, if at all. In other news, blurry screenshots have emerged from a canceled Twisted Metal project. The game was apparently an online title that had traditional vehicular combat mixed with battle royale and on-foot elements. And finally, Monster Hunter Wilds' cheese naan cutscene is sending players on an IRL foodie hunt for actual cheese naan. In fact, an Indian restaurant in Tokyo actually ran out of cheese trying to fill all the orders.…
In today's Daily Fix:InZOI, the new life sim aiming to take a piece of The Sims' pie, will hit early access on March 28th. No word yet on an official console release date. In other news, Monster Hunter Wilds has been out for a day, and its already breaking records. It's the seventh most-played game on Steam based on concurrents, with around 1 million players hunting monsters at the same time. It's so popular that Palworld developer Pocket Pair is giving the day off to employees so they could play the game. And finally, the PlayStation VR 2 is getting a permanent price cut. The VR attachment for PS5 was met with criticism back in 2023 for its high price tag, but if you're on the fence about it, it's now $399, down from $549. Good luck finding some worthwhile PSVR2 games, though.…

In today's Daily Fix:Sony has revealed the lineup of new games coming to PlayStation Plus in March. Headlining the list is Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which is a fairly new game, having dropped just a few months ago. The fourth Dragon Age game failed to hit EA's sales goals, so putting the game on PS Plus so soon is likely an attempt at recouping some cash. In other news, BioWare's co-founder put Microsoft on blast for some bad advice during the original Xbox era. It was Microsoft's suggestion that cult favorite RPG Jade Empire be released for the OG Xbox right at the end of its life, just a few months shy of the Xbox 360's debut. Dr. Greg Zeschuk is convinced Jade Empire could've been a hit for BioWare if the game was held for newer hardware.
