GTA 6 had been a rumor for years—an inevitable rumor, considering that the last one made basically infinite money—but those murmurs were finally confirmed in December 2023, when Rockstar officially revealed Grand Theft Auto 6 to the world. And because nothing with GTA can be entirely uncomplicated, it was a reveal that came earlier than…
I finally finished Cyberpunk 2077 last night, and so today’s 2.21 patch is just a wee little bit annoying because CD Projekt has finally fixed a small but irritating bug in the Phantom Liberty expansion that forced me into a fight I really didn’t want.
