Developer Direct 2026 will feature two upcoming titles from Playground Games, Fable and Forza Horizon 6. The studio will share the first extended look at Fable and debut gameplay for Forza Horizon 6, an Xbox Wire post confirmed. Playground Games will also share gameplay from Fable, which is set to release in 2026 after a string of delays. The game is confirmed for PC and Xbox Series S/X.

The Game Awards had another strong year in 2025, with host and organizer Geoff Keighley announcing today that the show reached 171 million global livestreams. That's up 11% from 154 million in 2024 and makes the 2025 show the "most watched TGA in history." Keighley also states that conversations about TGA on X were up 12% and that the show had 23,000 co-streams across Twitch and YouTube, which was up 50% year-over-year.

Today, Sony held a State of Play showcase to talk about upcoming PlayStation 5 games, but this one was a little different. This one was specifically focused on Japan-developed games, as well as projects from other Asian studios. The State of Play Japan showcase was hosted by Ys actor Yuki Kaji, and was only streamed in Japanese, even in other territories.

"From beloved series to distinctive indie creations, the show, hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji, will be packed with great games, interviews, and new looks at anticipated titles," Sony said.

Early-Bird tickets will go on sale starting November 7 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET, and are priced at $250 for both days of the fan expo. This includes taxes and fees, and it comes with commemorative in-game items as a bonus. These tickets will be sold while supplies last, after which, Blizzard will sell a standard ticket weekend pass for $290 starting November 18.

Podcaster and leaker NateTheHate spilled the beans on X early on Tuesday. It began the night before when people started asking him for information about when Sony's next showcase would be. "Sony has a presentation soon," he replied cryptically. Then earlier today he elaborated, "Next week." NateTheHate's had a good track record ever since he accurately reported on the Switch 2 reveal earlier this year, and a PlayStation event pegged to Tokyo Game show would make sense.

The Warhammer Skulls 2025 showcase dispels any doubts about the franchise's gaming expansion, featuring numerous trailers and announcements across various genres and platforms.
