JUST IN: Flutter plans up to 1,400 job cuts in the UK and Ireland and blames the UK's gambling tax rises. Remote gaming duty went from 21% to 40% in April. Sports betting duty hits 25% in April 2027. The next UK budget lands next week.

Information on the upcoming Cyberpunk 2.5 update has leaked early! Here’s all the major features coming with Cyberpunk 2.5, its a huge update: - FOV slider is coming to consoles - Mod support for conoles is also coming, works the same as it does in Witcher 3 Remastered - TWO new side quests: 'Clampdown' set before Edgerunners S2 and “Welcome to Paradise” which takes V in a “mysterious tour of Night City” - New perk called “Double Trouble” which allows you to dual wield pistols or revolvers. - New radio stations that only plays music from Edgerunners 1 & 2 - New 'Glamdocs' vendors have been added, where you can customise the look of your arm and hand cyberware. These are new characters with new lines of dialogue - 5 new clothing sets and new hairstyles for both male and female V - Photo mode ypdated - Save files are now separated into folders for each playthrough - Fixed HDR settings on PS5 - Bug fixes Blows my mind they went ahead and did all this after it felt like Cyberpunk 2077 support had wrapped up, seriously amazing work to CDPR!

Rockstar spent “months, if not years” testing alternatives to a weapon wheel for GTA 6 “They tried trays and webs and all sorts,” but ultimately ended up sticking with the weapon wheel
