## Resource

What was looking like a fairly quiet week turned into a frenzy with the news that Rockstar will be publishing an "extended look" at Grand Theft Auto 6 on August 27 - but what should we expect? And why on earth would Netflix pay for a six-hour exclusivity window? Meanwhile, The Verge reveals Microsoft docs confirming Xbox 360 emulation for PC, Xbox Disc2Digital should be coming soon and someone has Half-Life Alyx kinda running on Meta Quest 3. Finally can the Steam Hardware Survey really be trusted? Are there really more 16GB GPUs out there than 8GB GPUs? 0:00:00 Introduction 0:02:26 Sponsored by Alienware 0:03:46 News 1: Rockstar announces GTA 6 “Extended Look” 0:22:54 News 2: QuakeCon 2026 brings back Quake memories 0:44:46 News 3: Xbox 360 games reportedly coming to PC backwards compatibility 0:57:55 News 4: Half-Life Alyx demoed on Meta Quest 3 1:07:22 News 5: Steam Hardware Survey suggests 16GB GPUs, 8 core CPUs are ascendant 1:16:40 Hosted on Acast.
