Can't speak for each outlet but feels like we've hopefully got lots of great coverage planned for GTA coming up on the BBC - I get the sentiment about TV coverage / bulletins specifically though. That said the BBC did cover Lost Records & it came out in 2025 so can't see the correlation to GTA!
My exclusive interview with Xbox CEO Asha Sharma up now - video to come www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This is the face of someone with a long day of travelling to Gamescom (and then being at Gamescom) ahead of them
Getting some cuddles before I head off to Gamescom! Hope to see plenty of people there :)
Big Walk is my GOTY (so far). What a beautiful, joyful adventure with friends. Not since Outer Wilds has a game genuinely surprised me and made me excited about the unknowns ahead. Amazing work @househouse.com
Great piece by my colleague @tomrichardson.bsky.social about the GTA leaks and their potential impact for Rockstar www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
