The poll includes the original two Metal Gear games from the '80s, and the remaining Metal Gear Solid console games, including Peacewalker.

    In today's Daily Fix:CD Projekt RED is staffing up for Cyberpunk 2 with a job post looking for a lead network engineer. Responsibilities would include developing and optimizing "multiplayer systems, including matchmaking." So it sounds like Cyberpunk 2 is going to include a multiplayer mode, possibly similar to the scrapped mode that was supposed to be post-launch content for Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2 isn't supposed to go into full development until after The Witcher 4 is out the door, so it may be a long while before we hear more. In other news, Fortnite is going head-to-head with Roblox in the creator economy space, with Epic revealing plans to allow players to sell user-generated content. The real kicker: Epic is pushing incentives for creators to earn quite a bit more than they would with Roblox. And finally, more DLC content for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has leaked, thanks to some retailers selling copies early.
