Spectrum customers can get a free internet upgrade this month to download GTA 6 faster.

The company announced earlier this week that it would be a free "Gig Speed Lift" from November 9 to November 30 for existing customers. This will allow players the opportunity to download the game within 30 minutes. So, if you're planning on buying the game on day one or later in November, this will be a huge time saver. Or, if you just want to watch your pre-load complete incredibly quickly, this is also an option. You can click here to learn more about how to activate this offer if you're a Spectrum user.

Pre-loading for GTA 6 begins on November 10, and it will be an absolute beast of a game when it comes to download size. Rockstar has confirmed that the game is 212 GBs, which is nearly a quarter the size of the average PS5 (not counting the required space for the OS and other mandatory elements on the console). Given that fans are anticipating a pretty massive open-world with lots to see and do, the size makes sense. As a result, fans will want to take full advantage of the nine-day pre-load window or hop on this Spectrum deal so they can play as soon as possible.

We're officially just two weeks away from the GTA 6's launch. Rockstar released 39 new screenshots from the game earlier today, showing off Vice City, Jason and Lucia in action, and a whole bunch of crime. The screenshots also revealed that rapper Kodak Black would be in the game as an NPC, which has fueled speculation that other musical artists would be in the game. The likes of Dr Dre, Phil Collins, and others have all been prominently featured in-game in other GTA titles, so it's not a stretch to imagine some celebrities in a modern-day Vice City.

It's unclear what else Rockstar has up its sleeve as we get closer to launch, as it released what appears to be the final trailer back in October. Some fans are expecting to hear about PS5 Pro upgrades prior to release, but beyond that, we appear to be at the end of this long marketing road.

G2 Esports has parted ways with its head coach and retired League of Legends player Luka "Perkz" Perković following divisive comments he made in a lengthy post on Twitter/X.

The 2,676-word-long tweet was published on November 4, 2026. Perković described it as his “first and last honest post in [the] last decade,” where he could “address some things honestly.” He explained that he’d written the statement to clarify his stance on certain topics “so that, at the very least, you can hate me for what I really stand for, and then that's completely fine by me.”

In the post, which he jokingly called a “tweet bomb,” Perković said he is not a fan of and does not endorse the Tate brothers in any way; claimed that “doesn’t really do politics” and has never “ever voted once” in his life; said he is not a fan of either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris; said he is a devout Catholic; denied being a “Putin fanboy” or being on the side of Russia in the war on Ukraine; and shared his stance on abortion, comparing it to “murder.”

“I don’t really do politics, nor have I even ever voted once in my life. I do have opinions, and I wish I was more educated on the topic, but the truth is I’m not, so I stay away from it,” he wrote. “There are some things I stand for, very simple things in life, but the only thing that is unshakeable for me, how it’s so widely accepted in public, is abortion. I cannot comprehend how people do not understand that is a muder, as life is created at conception. That is one view I will die by and never change.”

Perković also addressed his relationship with retired League of Legends pro and former G2 CEO Carlos "ocelote" Rodríguez Santiago, who stepped down from the company in 2022 after sharing a video of himself at a party with Andrew Tate. “Me standing up for Carlos publicly when he was being cancelled has nothing to [do] with all the things I’m all accused of supporting. Trafficking? Misogyny? Nazism? War? Are you okay?” Perković said of the matter.

“Carlos believed in me when nobody else did. I did not have a close relationship with my family when I was 16, including my parents, [who] I was not too close with, either. …Carlos and I have gone both completely different ways. He is his own person and I’m completely my own. In the end Carlos’ ego is something that put an end to his esports career, which was f**king insane. So there is a lesson to be learned in there, as well. We have a lot of different views on life.”

Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Perković’s post was his stance on abortion. This particular remark was a main talking point among fans and fellow players on social media, sparking a massive wave of backlash against him. G2 Esports addressed the situation in a public post mere hours later, where they confirmed that they have parted ways with Perković due to his tweet.

Their full statement is as follows:

“Last night, like many of you, we saw the statement shared by the Head Coach of one of our teams. G2 is a diverse and international organization with different people from all around the world. While the world is complex and not everyone agrees on everything, some of the statements made last night do not align with G2's stance and values. We have fans with different cultures and personal opinions, and it is of the utmost importance to us as an organisation that we respect and uphold this diversity when representing G2. We acknowledge that this statement hurt many of our fans, and we want to apologize for it.

“As a result, we have decided to terminate our collaboration with the individual. We will now focus on rebuilding our staff and roster for the next season and ask for your patience, as we will not be able to communicate any changes until free agency officially opens. - Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2.”

Perković has since published one other tweet — a Bible verse from Luke 6:22. “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake,” he wrote. This post, too, has received backlash from users. Perković has not posted anything else on his account at the time of writing.

The last two years of BioWare's life were filmed and will be shown in a new documentary about the game studio.

The documentary, titled Massive Effect: The BioWare Story, will show the studio's journey over the last few years. While it's unclear if this will include new footage of the canceled Mass Effect game, it is a rare peek behind the curtain and likely a raw one, given how the story ends. Industry veteran Geoff Keighley revealed that he was interviewed for the film earlier this year, and confirmed that it will be released sometime in 2027.

The project is being produced by Shane Fennessey and Adam Scorgie for Canada‘s Super Channel, as BioWare was primarily a Canadian studio. It's unclear if it will also be made available online for those outside of Canada. The documentary will feature exclusive interviews and insights from BioWare talent, such as Mass Effect game director Casey Hudson, Jennifer Hale (voice actress for the female variant of Commander Shepard), and many more. It should be an interesting watch whenever it is released.

“When the production team asked for our blessing to tell the BioWare story, we were honoured and genuinely moved,” said BioWare co-founders Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk. “BioWare was never just about the logo or the building. It was about deeply emotionally engaging stories and characters, brought to life by the amazingly talented people on our dev teams, and our excellent production and distribution partners who helped us bring those stories successfully to all corners of the planet, and our passionate fans who defended those worlds, championed them and carried them forward. We’re proud this film honours those who made it all possible. The best stories never really end. They live on in our memories and wait for someone to pick them up again.”

BioWare was shut down last month, much to the shock of the wider industry and fans alike. The studio had been struggling for a while; its last three games were misfires, and the next Mass Effect game was expected to still be years away. As a result, EA reportedly decided to place its bets on a new Star Wars Battlefront game from DICE and Respawn instead of continuing to fund a new Mass Effect game.

A trailer for Mass Effect 5, which was apparently called Mass Effect Universe, did find its way online, painting a better picture of what fans could've expected from the canceled game. Some fans have held out hope that the Mass Effect IP could be acquired by another company, but as of right now, it doesn't seem like that's in the cards.
