GameStop is launching retro game retail locations that will stock physical consoles, discs, and cartridges from classic Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and Sega platforms, covering 18 classic systems from NES to PS Vita. With the rise of digital downloads, GameStop aims to capitalize on its strengths by offering physical media and expertise, although piracy remains a challenge. Meanwhile, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov faces charges in France, restricting his movement as the investigation continues. Firewalk Studios’ debut game, Concord, a team shooter on PlayStation, has not gained popularity, with under 700 concurrent players on Steam. Despite this, PlayStation continues to thrive with games like Helldivers 2, the PlayStation Portal, and PSVR 2 hardware. Apple’s latest iOS and iPadOS betas introduce new AI features, including a Clean Up tool in the Photos app similar to Google’s Magic Eraser, allowing users to remove background elements easily.
