Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Pro Modes, FF7 Rebirth Xbox and Switch 2 Date, GTA 6 Marketing Starts — G2A News Weekly Recap

Welcome to G2A News Weekly Recap—our Friday round-up of the biggest gaming headlines of the week.

Resident Evil Requiem on PS5 Pro, FFVII Rebirth Hits Xbox and Switch 2 and GTA 6 Marketing Kicks Off

You get the key facts, the dates that matter, and the “why should I care?” angle… all in one quick scroll.

Resident Evil Requiem on PS5 Pro: 4K/60 with Ray Tracing + up to 120 FPS mode

Capcom says Resident Evil Requiem is getting an optimized PS5 Pro version with two clear choices: cinematic visuals or maximum smoothness.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Ray Tracing ON: targets 4K at 60 FPS
  Expect stronger lighting, more realistic reflections, and a richer horror atmosphere (aka: every hallway looks more terrifying).
• High Frame Rate Mode: up to 120 FPS on 120Hz displays
  Capcom says real gameplay should average around 90 FPS, which means snappier aiming and smoother camera motion during combat.

Resident Evil lives and dies by atmosphere. Better lighting and reflections make the horror hit harder, while higher FPS can genuinely improve control in tense fights.

Quick reminder:

Resident Evil Requiem launches February 27 on PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC. The ninth mainline entry follows FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft investigating deaths tied to Wrenwood Hotel—with early reports also pointing to Leon S. Kennedy showing up.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is officially coming to Xbox and Switch 2 on June 3, 2026

Square Enix confirmed it: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches on Xbox Series X|S on June 3, 2026—and it arrives the same day as the Switch 2 version.

That’s a big deal because:

• No staggered “you wait months” rollout this time.
• Xbox players finally get equal treatment after the first game skipped the platform.

Preorders are already live on the Xbox Store, and in some regions there’s a 20% discount dropping the price from $49.99 to $39.99—a solid deal for a game this massive.

If you’re new to the trilogy, here’s the vibe:

Rebirth goes way beyond the first part’s scope, expanding into a broader world with more systems, more side content, and combat upgrades like synergy mechanics and smarter enemy behavior.

And yes—people are already looking ahead to part three. Reporting points to a likely reveal window around Summer Game Fest 2026.

GTA 6 is still set for November 19, 2026 — and marketing starts this summer

Take-Two just reaffirmed Grand Theft Auto VI for November 19, 2026, and the more interesting part is this: they said the marketing campaign begins this summer.

Why that’s a real signal:

Big games don’t kick off structured marketing unless internal milestones are lining up. Trailers, previews, hands-on beats—those are planned carefully, and “summer marketing” suggests Rockstar is confident enough to start the hype engine on schedule.

What we officially know so far:

• Two cinematic trailers (no gameplay yet)
• Two protagonists: Duval and Lucia Caminos
• Setting: Vice City in the state of Leonida

A November GTA launch can reshape the entire release calendar—publishers tend to move out of the way when Rockstar drops.

So… does “marketing starts this summer” make you believe the date is finally locked?

Wrapping Week Up

This week was all about big franchises shifting gears:

• Resident Evil Requiem is giving PS5 Pro owners a real choice between atmosphere and fluidity.
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally going full multi-platform on day one (Xbox included).
• GTA 6 is moving into “real marketing timeline” territory… and that’s usually when the hype truly begins.
