    It’s the Sebulba game!

    Sorry, I mean Star Wars: Galactic Racer. A new trailer shows off what appears to be the game’s story mode. The conversations look a little stilted, but who cares — all I care about is the podracing. It’s coming out on October 6th.

    No Highguard-esque ending today.

    After the fiasco surrounding everything Highguard, Geoff Keighley promises that the last Summer Game Fest Live announcement today will be a “single player, narrative game.” The show starts at 5PM ET, so we won’t have to wait too much longer for the big reveal.

    Google follows Anthropic in signing a compute deal with SpaceX.

    Per a regulatory filing, Google will pay SpaceX $920 million per month from October 2026 through June 2029, as reported by TechCrunch.

    In a statement to TechCrunch, Google says that it’s a “short-term” agreement to help meet “surging customer demand for our agent platform, Gemini Enterprise, which has been even higher than we expected.”

    Anthropic’s deal with SpaceX was announced in May.

    Minecraft Dungeons II could launch this September.

    The Nintendo eShop listing for the game shows a September 29th release date and a price tag of $29.99, as shared by Wario64.

    Perhaps this is a Summer Game Fest Live announcement that got pushed a little early; that event is set to kick off at 5PM ET. (We’ll be watching and covering the show, stay tuned!)

    Paramount is making a unified games studio.

    Paramount Games Studio puts all of Paramount and Skydance’s development teams under one brand. Weirdly, it will still be making two titles set in Disney universes: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and an untitled Star Wars game, Variety reports.

    There will also be a new AAA title announced at Summer Game Fest Live later today.
