    2026 Gaming News Prediction Showdown!

    We’re looking into the crystal ball for 2026. This year is already feeling like a fever dream, so the Clique decided to sit down and place our bets on what’s actually going to go down in the industry. From the "will-they-won't-they" drama of Grand Theft Auto VI to the financial soap opera over at Ubisoft, we aren't holding back. Grab some milk, because the takes are spicy. The GTA VI Countdown: Rockstar says November 19, 2026, but the panel is split. Is it actually dropping, or are we looking at "Spring 2027" in our nightmares? Fable & The Xbox Comeback: Playground Games is bringing us back to Albion this Autumn. Can it actually meet those massive Xbox expectations, or are we just going to spend the whole game kicking chickens in 4K? The Ubisoft Survival Guide: With stocks dipping and "Creative Houses" being built, we discuss if Ubisoft will still be a titan by December, or if we’re looking at a "For Sale" sign on the front door of the Assassin's Creed studio. Who do you think has the wildest prediction this episode? What is your 2026 gaming "hot take.?" Will you be playing GTA VI on launch day, or do you think Rockstar is going to break our hearts one more time? ________________________________ Hit subscribe and leave a review so you don't miss our videos when they drop. ________________________________ Watch Game Clique by subscribing to our YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@RealGameClique⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! ________________________________ Follow us on ⁠Twitter⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠ & ⁠TikTok⁠ for more exclusive content @RealGameClique!

We're talking trash, making bold picks, and praying our league mates don’t snatch my sleeper hits. 👀 This is the Fantasy Critic Draft Episode, where bragging rights are earned, friendships are tested, and somebody’s bound to regret passing on GTA VI.

    2025 Power Rankings Finale!

    It’s that time again... Game Clique is locking in the 2025 Power Rankings, and you already know the debates got spicy. From the hilarious story of Dispatch, to the controversial long-awaited Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, to the chaotic pocket monster drama in Pokémon Z‑A, we’re putting every contender under the microscope. And yes, we had to talk about the haunting vibes of Silent Hill f and the artsy flex of Clair Obscur Expedition 33, because if you’re not arguing about existential French RPGs, are you even gaming? Expect laughs, side‑eyes, and at least one of us threatening to flip the table when their fave doesn’t make Top 10. This episode is basically the Super Bowl of gaming arguments, minus the nachos (but feel free to bring your own). _______________________________ Hit subscribe and leave a review so you don't miss our videos when they drop. ________________________________ Watch Game Clique by subscribing to our YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@RealGameClique⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! ________________________________ Follow us on ⁠Twitter⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠ & ⁠TikTok⁠ for more exclusive content @RealGameClique!

    Halo Nostalgia Trip in Seattle | Fractured Blooms First Impressions + Steam Review Chaos

    This week, we packed our bags, hit Seattle, and pulled up to Halo Studios to get hands-on with Halo Campaign Evolved. Was it nostalgia? Was it chaos? Was it BOTH? 👀 Then we switch gears into something a little different: our first impressions of the cozy horror indie gem Fractured Blooms... yes, it’s somehow both “aww” and “ahhh!” at the same time. But here’s the real talk: leaving reviews on Steam, Xbox Marketplace, and other platforms actually matters. So we put our money where our mouths are and left reviews LIVE on air for games we forgot to show love to.  #Halo #FracturedBlooms #BlackGamers #GamingPodcast #SteamReviews #XboxMarketplace #HaloStudios #CozyHorror ________________________________ Hit subscribe and leave a review so you don't miss our videos when they drop. ________________________________ Watch Game Clique by subscribing to our YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@RealGameClique⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! ________________________________ Follow us on ⁠Twitter⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠ & ⁠TikTok⁠ for more exclusive content @RealGameClique!
