These news stories shaped the video game industry in 2023

2023 was a roller coaster for the video games industry. On the software side, it was a historic year for new releases. We got everything from big success stories like Baldur’s Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to memorable indies in Venba and Chants of Sennaar. But from the business side, 2023 was a lot more tumultuous. While some notable studio acquisitions and game announcements happened, thousands of developers were laid off, entire studios were shut down or hacked, and the provider of one of…

Grand Theft Auto VI’s trailer perfectly captures my hometown’s essence

There’s something shameful I must admit about myself: I’m a native of Miami, Florida. It’s where I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up, and even after leaving, I look back on my time a lot. South Florida was my home, and feeling its vibe is rare unless I visit family. That is, until I saw the long-anticipated trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI. I’ve watched it more than a few times now, and my only thought is, “Yeah, that’s Florida.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdBZY2fkU-0 Does it capture absolutely…

GTA 6 didn’t need The Game Awards

This past week was one of the most crowded for video game news because of two events: The Game Awards 2023 and the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. Initially, I was surprised the two weren’t one and the same. GTA 6’s reveal is the most significant game announcement of the year, after all, and Geoff Keighley always seems to be searching for big Elden Ring- or GTA 6-level moments for his show, even if he doesn’t always get those. After taking a step back and looking at how each performed independently of the other, I think…

Outside of what’s featured in the trailer, Rockstar isn’t revealing much more about GTA 6.

The GTA 6 trailer is already racking up a ridiculously high view count

With thousands already waiting for the trailer to drop, the GTA 6 teaser has been one of the most anticipated promos of this year, maybe of this whole generation. While it was unveiled a little earlier than planned, this has only made it possible for even more people to watch it many, many times. At the time of writing, over 70 million people have seen the GTA 6 trailer over on YouTube. By comparison, “Baby Shark” has amassed around 13 billion views at the time of this writing, so GTA still has some way to go, but we’re…
