In gaming, CD Projekt Red surprised fans by reviving The Witcher 3 with a new Geralt expansion, Songs of the Past, slated for 2027 as a bridge to the franchise’s next era. Valve, meanwhile, delivered less welcome news, sharply increasing Steam Deck OLED prices as hardware and logistics costs climb. And comedy’s boundaries were back under scrutiny after Kevin Hart defended Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke at his Netflix roast, saying the roast format explains the intent even if the material was not tasteful.
