The biggest news last week was Sony’s decision to eliminate the physical format on PlayStation, a move that Hideo Kojima has publicly lamented. Nintendo has also had its share of prominence. The Japanese company has announced that the version of Switch 2 with a replaceable battery will arrive in Europe in the fall, while the original Switch will stop being sold in our territory in February 2027. On the other hand, we have celebrated the launch of Echoes of Aincrad, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Palworld, Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok and Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations.
On the Internet, all the news has come from Europe. The European Commission has taken Spain to court for failing to transpose the cybersecurity rules of the SRI 2 Directive, and presented an investigation according to which the design of Instagram and Facebook is addictive. Consequently, it demands changes to Meta. For its part, the European Parliament has extended the exception that allows Meta, Google and company to scan private chats to detect child sexual abuse. Finally, OpenAI has launched the GPT-5.6 family of models, introduced ChatGPT Work, and received a lawsuit from Apple for stealing confidential information.
