pcmag.com/news/grand-theft-auto-take-two-lays-off-600-employees-cancels-games
Quick Glance: 'GTA 6' Publisher Makes Layoffs and Cancels Projects
- Publisher Take-Two Interactive, known for Grand Theft Auto IV, plans to lay off five percent of its workforce by the end of the year and cancel various projects currently in development.
- These decisions were disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, outlining briefly Take-Two's 'cost reduction program.' The company anticipates the plan to save $165 million annually and 'enhance the Company’s margin profile.'
- Several video games in development, including GTA 6, are expected to break sales records upon release next year.
- Even though CEO Strauss Zelnick explicitly stated in February that the company had no plans for job cuts, layoffs are distressing even in the best of times. The impact of these measures on Take-Two's development teams remains to be seen.

Grand Theft Auto 5 actor 'shot some stuff' with Rockstar for a 'James Bond Trevor' expansion that never happened
pcgamer.com/games/grand-theft-auto/grand-theft-auto-5-actor-shot-some-stuff-with-rockstar-for-a-james-bond-trevor-expansion-that-never-happened/
Quick Glance: GTA 5's Scrapped 'James Bond Trevor' DLC Partially Filmed, Actor Reveals
- The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrapped sometime before 2017.
- Agent Trevor was originally one of three episodic packs planned for GTA 5’s post-launch story DLC, along with 'Zombie Apocalypse' and 'Alien Invasion.'
- While the DLC was silently axed sometime between 2013 (when it was initially announced) and 2017 (when its cancelation was confirmed), much of its content was adapted for GTA Online’s Doomsday and Diamond Casino heists.
- While all hopes of GTA 5 story DLC are dashed, maybe there’s a small sliver of hope that Rockstar will go back to producing story-based DLC when GTA 6 arrives.

gamingbolt.com/sony-has-some-smaller-first-party-games-planned-for-2024-including-astro-bot
Quick Glance: Sony Plans Smaller First-Party Games for 2024, Including Astro Bot - Rumour
- Sony said earlier this year that it wouldn’t be releasing any new instalments in existing major franchises until at least April 2025, sparking concerns in the fanbase.
- Journalist Jeff Grubb claims that Sony has some smaller first-party titles lined up for release in 2024, including a new Astro Bot game.
- Sony has focused on titles like Helldivers 2, Rise of the Ronin, and the upcoming Stellar Blade in 2024. Concord and Until Dawn are also scheduled for release this year.
- In addition, Sony is leaning on third-party exclusives in 2024, such as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Bloober Team and Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake, set to be showcased at a PlayStation event in May.
