Activision finally confirmed that the new game it has been teasing is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and that we’ll learn a lot more about it very soon.

Hype around the next Call of Duty game began to swell earlier this week when a site called thetruthlies.com was discovered by Call of Duty fans. After fans were able to deduce that this was a teaser for a new Call of Duty game, Activision released a teaser trailer combining all the clips from the site on the game’s actual website. It was ultimately about a group of people vandalizing Mount Rushmore with the message “The Truth Lies.”

Alongside that reveal came posts on the official Call of Duty blog and X that affirmed that the name of this year’s Call of Duty game is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. That’s about all we know about the game right now, as Activision has yet to give us a glimpse at gameplay or tease more concrete story details. Thankfully, we do have a better idea of when we’ll learn more about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Previously, Microsoft had teased that a Direct for an unannounced game would take place after its Xbox Games Showcase at 10 a.m. PT on June 9. We now know that this will be the game featured, so expect a Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Showcase to take place directly following Xbox’s show next month.

A specific release date and platforms were not confirmed for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 yet, but it’s expected to launch on PC, as well as PlayStation and Xbox consoles, later this year.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.

Xbox Game Pass deals are reportedly drying up, and that’s bad news for indies

Ask most players why they subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and they'll probably mention day-one Xbox exclusives. But developers have long viewed the service differently. For many indie studios, a Game Pass deal wasn't just extra exposure — it was financial security before launch.

Landing a Game Pass deal often meant guaranteed revenue before a game even launched, reducing the financial gamble of releasing an indie title into an increasingly crowded market. Now, that safety net may not be as dependable as it once was.

I just played Ghost of Tsushima on a phone. I never thought I’d see this day and I’m not regretting this misadventure
Running Ghost of Tsushima on the Red Magic 11S Pro almost feels wrong

I have tested plenty of gaming phones, but nothing quite prepared me for watching Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut boot up on the Red Magic 11S Pro. This was not cloud gaming or something like Remote Play from a PlayStation sitting somewhere else in the house. I used GameHub, linked it with Steam, and after some trial and error, had the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running on a phone--and it was far more playable than I expected.

And yes, it looked as ridiculous as it sounds. Seeing Jin Sakai on a phone screen with a GameHub overlay, virtual shoulder buttons, and a live FPS counter sitting on top made the whole setup seem a lot more viable.
