During a recent livestream, Wiethoff teased that he has news to share before the end of the week, sparking speculation about a potential current-generation version of Red Dead Redemption 2 for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, Microsoft has confirmed that Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming title, The Outer Worlds 2, will launch as the first Xbox game priced at $80. This decision follows Nintendo’s controversial pricing strategy with Mario Kart World and raises questions about the future of game pricing in an industry already grappling with consumer sentiment regarding value for money. The announcement, made during the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, was accompanied by a new gameplay trailer that humorously critiques corporate greed—a theme central to the game itself.
