Finger Out How To Prep For GTA 6 With These Exercises
We're just weeks away from Grand Theft Auto VI launching, and you might think you're set to spend hours upon hours in the open-world game right now. But PureGym asks if your body is actually ready like former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime's --as well as your thumbs. With that in mind, the fitness company has shared three thumb workouts from personal trainer David Hope to help prep you for GTA VI. These exercises are meant as a warm-up before picking up your controller, by the way. The first is just tapping your thumb with each finger on the same hand, which as a personal aside, can be a good mindfulness technique, too. The next finger drill sees you spreading your hand out and making a five, then turning that into a fist with your thumb on the outside. Our added suggestion is to do spirit fingers between fists to look as ridiculous as possible. Last but not least, Hope r

Arkane Lyon Could Be Shut Down Within Weeks As Deadline To Find A Buyer Looms
It might be the end of the road for Marvel's Blade developer Arkane Lyon, as a new report says that the studio has until November 13 to find a buyer or face closure. Le Monde reported that while Microsoft had followed the procedure as laid out in Florange Law--French legislation that requires Microsoft to spend at least three months searching for a buyer for Arkane Lyon--negotiations were going "badly," and worker unions are currently attempting to buy more time to save jobs at the studio, which is currently still working on Marvel's Blade. The report says "several forms of takeover" are being considered, but the union's plans could include re-employing affected staff at other Xbox studios or taking Microsoft to court. According to IGN , development on Marvel's Blade was still on track for a new reveal in early 2027, followed by a Q4 2027 release. The game was originally revealed in Dece
