🎮💰 GTA VI Giveaway: New Date — Win Cash Live on 11/14
Heads up — new date. We're moving the GTA VI cash giveaway to Saturday, November 14th, around 9PM CST. The game drops November 19th, and we're giving it the extra runway to make sure there are no more delays — and to see whether a PC rollout gets announced before we draw. Same deal otherwise: instead of preordering GTA VI, BLKSUIT is handing the cash straight to one of you. Spin the wheel, cash lands in your pocket.
The upside for you: entries stay open a whole lot longer, so there's plenty of runway to stack them up.

🎮 The Last Two Leisure Suit Larry Games Leave Steam October 23 — and They're $1.99 Right Now
Publisher Assemble Entertainment announced that Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry (2018) and Wet Dreams Dry Twice (2020) will be delisted from Steam after October 23. They're the last two games in the series still on sale; the first seven were pulled last year. Before they go, both are marked down 95% on Steam, GOG, and Switch, from $39.99 to $1.99 each in the US.
No reason was given. Phil Salvador of the Video Game History Foundation floated a theory on Bluesky: the IP was owned by Codemasters, which EA now owns, and the license to sell the games online may have run out. That's unconfirmed. What isn't a theory is the pattern. A game that was on sale last week can be impossible to buy next month, and the first seven stayed available on GOG after leaving Steam. It's the ownership argument in miniature: if you want to keep something, buy it while you still can. For these two, the deadline is on the calendar.

🎮 35% of Marvel's Wolverine Launch Sales Were Physical — and Sony Plans to Stop Making Discs for New Games
New Ampere data, published by The Game Business, puts Marvel's Wolverine at about 2.16 million copies sold in September, the second-best-selling PS5 game of the month behind EA Sports FC 27. The number that matters: 35% of those launch sales were the disc version. That works out to roughly 750,000 people who chose to own a physical copy of a first-party blockbuster.
It swings a lot by country. In the UK about two-thirds of sales were digital, in France more than two-thirds were physical, and separate GSD data had physical at 51% across Europe at launch. Other September PS5 releases ranged from 30% physical (Onimusha) to over 45% (Silent Hill: Townfall). All of this lands while Sony has told developers it will stop producing discs for new releases starting in January 2028, with older games the only ones that can still get them. A third of buyers on a Sony launch still wanted something to hold, and the clock on that option is already running.

🎮 Rockstar Reveals GTA 6's First Six Radio Stations — Previews Are Live Now
On October 8, Rockstar showed off the first six GTA 6 stations: Cocoteo FM (modern Latin), Back Country Radio (country), AfroBank FM (African music), The Chamber 106.6 (classic metal), Flash FM (pop), and Dirty South Classics (regional rap and hip-hop classics). Previews of each are up on the GTA 6 site right now. The bigger surprises: podcasts are coming to GTA for the first time, and you can finally listen to radio and podcasts on foot through your character's phone. With the game due November 19, the soundtrack is clearly part of the pitch.

🎮 Xbox Launches "XP" — a New Division to Take Its Franchises Into Film, Merch, and Live Events
Xbox announced a new division called XP on October 8, built to push its franchises beyond games and into film and TV, merchandise, live events and attractions, and brand partnerships. It's led by Kayleen Walters, who spent 13 years at Lucasfilm and most recently ran Mojang, where she helped grow Minecraft's merchandise, film, and theme park business. XP formalizes four areas: Xbox Pictures, Xbox Products, Xbox Places, and Xbox Partnerships. Chief strategy officer Matthew Ball says great games stay at the center, but the org chart now treats the games as the starting point, not the whole product.

🎮 Forza Horizon 6 Is Heading to PS5 on January 26, 2027

This Week in Streaming
📺 Kick Hits 1 Million Average Viewers for the First Time
Kick averaged about 1.09 million concurrent viewers in September, according to Streams Charts. That's the first month above the million mark and about 21% higher than the previous record, set just a month earlier in August. Hours watched hit 773.8 million, up roughly 15.65% on August. The catch: peak viewers actually fell by about 23,000 month over month, and the all-time peak is still October 2025's 4.6 million, so this is a story about steady growth, not one giant spike.
Who's driving it: the top two streamers on the platform, both from the Middle East and North Africa, were the only ones above 10 million hours watched, and four creators from that region sit in the top ten. Gambling content jumped 93% in hours watched to land seventh among genres, Minecraft broke into the top ten categories, and EA Sports FC 27 reached seventh despite launching in the last week of the month. Kick's growth is real; the open question is whether that mix holds as the numbers keep climbing.

🔒 Discord Bot Hack Exposes Data Tied to About 28 Million Accounts
Double Counter, an anti-alt-account bot used in more than 600,000 Discord communities, was hacked, and its owner, Tellter, published an incident report on October 5. The attacker took over the bot, spammed invites to their own server across about 50 communities, and pulled roughly 12 gigabytes out of one of its databases in about 25 minutes. That data was linked to about 28 million Discord accounts and included usernames, IP addresses, and rough locations down to city and internet provider, plus about one million email addresses copied in full.
Tellter says the attacker only got part of the IP records before being cut off, but it's treating all of them as exposed because it can't tell which ones left. The way in was an old server nobody had shut down, running software with a known flaw. Discord says this wasn't a breach of Discord itself, and it has disabled new installs of the bot while it works with the developer. Tellter has reported the incident to France's data protection authority and filed a criminal complaint. If you ever gave the bot an email address, watch for phishing, and if you run a server, it's a good week to audit which bots you've given access to.

📉 Twitch Cools Off in September as GTA V and WoW Surge
Twitch hours watched slipped to just over 1.47 billion in September, down about 5.9% from August, which was its strongest month of 2026 so far, and active channels fell 11% to just over 2.9 million. The cooldown came as the big summer esports calendar wound down: League of Legends dropped 15% in hours watched, Counter-Strike 26%, and Dota 2 46%. Meanwhile GTA V took the top spot with 76.7 million hours (up 59%) and World of Warcraft nearly doubled to 53.4 million. Asmongold led streamers with nearly 10 million hours, up 189%, followed by xQc at 9.1 million.
