Saints Row May Be Free on PS Plus, But Its Developer Is Gone
What a shame. The recent Saints Row reboot will be free on PS Plus this month, and we hoped it would help Volition. Unfortunately, it is closed after completing DLC and post-release tasks for the title. Embracer recently restructured, closing the studio.
This past June, Embracer Group announced a restructuring program to strengthen Embracer and maintain its video game industry leadership. They evaluated strategic and operational goals and made the difficult decision to close Volition immediately as part of that program.”
The statement says employees will be helped find other work. The note ends, “We thank our customers and fans around the world for all the love and support over the years.” “You will always be in our hearts.”
We expected it to be big, but this big? Only ten hours after Rockstar unceremoniously released GTA 6’s trailer after an unexpected leak, it has over 50 million views. This video is the top trending video on YouTube worldwide, ignoring mirrors from IGN and Gamespot.
Instead of waiting until later today, the developer released the first footage of the latest Grand Theft Auto after a watermarked version leaked on Twitter. The team is understandably upset, but the video’s overwhelming response will reassure it. It has 50 million views and 6.5 million likes.
This could reach 100 million by the end of the day as it’s shared worldwide and fans search for Easter eggs and secrets. How many times have you seen the new trailer?
PS Plus Essential members can redeem three more PS5 and PS4 games on the PS Store now. LEGO 2K Drive, PowerWash Simulator, and Sable are available until January 2, 2024. These are available to UK and European users now, and the US will follow later today.
58% of nearly 10,000 users called this month’s selection “crap.” If you think the lineup is decent, LEGO 2K Drive and PowerWash Simulator are your top picks. The monthly PS Plus update will bring more games to PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers in a few weeks.
Rockstar was about to release the biggest video game trailer ever when it was abruptly halted. An anonymous Twitter account uploaded a low-quality Grand Theft Auto VI trailer with dirty crypto watermarks, which quickly spread online.
The real article was published early by Rockstar, who lamented, “Our trailer has leaked, so please watch the real thing on YouTube.”
The official trailer is great and doesn’t surprise anyone; GTA VI will be amazing. Fans are thrilled to see the long-awaited successor to Grand Theft Auto V, but at least one developer is furious. It’s unfortunate to see another leak on GTA VI’s release day after one this week.
Senior gameplay animator Javier Altman said, “This f***ing sucks.” Altman added that he was “hoping to watch this for the first time tomorrow along with my fellow teammates and coworkers.” Facing frustration, Altman wrote, “We deserved that moment. Our work makes me proud. Enjoy the trailer, everyone.”
Altman wrote an hour after the trailer was released (thanks, VGC) and the leaked video was removed: “Crying with joy at the response. I can’t believe I’m involved.”
Think about this unfortunate series of events. Does the official GTA VI trailer live up to expectations?
