It's the weekend again. Here is a roundup of the week's top stories and some you might have missed.

THE BIG STUFF:

Rockstar's open-world action game Grand Theft Auto V continues to sell incredibly well. The game has now shipped 75 million copies, up by 5 million in just three months. The game is on pace to sell better this year than it did last week. Will it ever stop selling? [Full story]

Ubisoft's new South Park game, The Fractured But Whole, has been delayed again. Originally slated to come out in 2016, the game was initially pushed to Q1 2017. Now, it's set to come out sometime in Ubisoft's fiscal 2017-2018, which translates to April 2017 through March 2018. [Full story]

That's right, anyone can buy a ticket to this year's show. 15,000 consumer tickets will go on sale Monday, February 23. Tickets cost $150 (for a three-day pass) on February 13 and will go up to $250 thereafter. [Full story]
