Sony announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, alongside the traditional update on PS5 shipments, plus sales data for Ghost of Yōtei.
Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.
I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.
Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.
What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.
Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.
Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.
I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.
Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.
I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Pretty damn good results!
It's PS5's fifth year, and it still managed to improve hardware sales year-on-year in Q1 and now in Q2 again, too, indicating a very healthy pace & reputation.
The aligned gap of 2.1m units between PS4 and PS5 is still catchable, and I personally bet we'll see that happening until March 31st, 2027.
Revenue up, software up, PSN up!
Congrats to Playstation, and congrats to Sucker Punch. Yōtei could very well be selling 4 to 4.5m units as of December, 31st 2025.
Congrats Sony and SuckerPunch
Apparently boycotting GoY, due to some ridiculous reasons, did not happen
What's even crazier is that the PS5 has the chance to sell more next year when Wolverine and GTA 6 (if it doesn't get delayed for the third time 🥲) gets released!
Ghost of Tsushima has sold over 13 million copies worldwide....just sayin'
