Forza Horizon 6 looks to have easily delivered the most successful launch for any game in the series on PC, with record-breaking player numbers. Steam is abuzz this week with a couple of long-anticipated launches, but in Forza Horizon 6’s case, at least, the game isn’t even out for what will be most of its players. The anticipated sequel in the open-world driving game series doesn’t officially launch until May 19, but owners of its most expensive version - the Premium Edition - can play it right now.

After a summer interlude, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) are back for what remains unfinished – an all-out struggle with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the repressive state apparatus standing behind them. Modi has taken no chances and enacted the most draconian and authoritarian measures since Indira Gandhi’s Emergency in 1975. Thousands have been arrested, beaten, harassed and detained, including the entire central committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). This brutality was enacted to protect Gyanesh Kumar, a member of India’s Election Commission who has been exposed by the Indian Express as Modi’s stooge, who erased millions of Indians (disproportionately Muslims and other minorities) from the electoral roll in order to rig elections in his party’s favour. Following the exposé, a national protest was called by the CJP for Saturday 10 October at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, the site of their previous victory this summer, when the hated Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, was forced to resign.
