This week on the M2 Podcast, we dive into another wave of GTA 6 leaks, including alleged gameplay and map footage, threats against Rockstar, and the growing debate over digital-only gaming. We also discuss Mattel launching its own game studio to turn brands like Barbie, Hot Wheels, and UNO into gaming experiences, while a former Saber writer claims she was replaced by ChatGPT during development of Rideshare ‘Stimulator’, reigniting the debate over AI in game development. Finally, we look ahead to Gamescom 2026 and the huge lineup of reveals, gameplay demos, and announcements expected from Xbox and some of gaming's biggest studios.
