We\u2019re getting more Halo games, but which ones?\u00a0 Can Battlefield really threaten Call of Duty for the military shooter crown? And is the future of OpenAI really a porn bot service? Welcome to the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku\u2018s daily roundup of gaming culture and news. I\u2019m getting this one out extra early to make up for yesterday. Tron: Ares bombed at the box office with a $33 million debut that Hollywood insiders believe will doom Jared Leto and the franchise<\/a>. That\u2019s a shame because I saw it last night and it didn\u2019t suck nearly as much as I expected. I would even say the first half of it was pretty great!<\/p>\n

OpenAI is getting ready to unleash \u201cerotica for verified adults\u201d <\/p>\n

A big sexting update is coming to ChatGPT in December, Sam Altman teased on X<\/a> this week. \u201cWe made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues,\u201d he wrote. \u201cWe realize this made it less useful\/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having unfurled the aircraft carrier \u201cMission Accomplished!\u201d sign despite ongoing wrongful death lawsuits<\/a>, Altman says it\u2019s time to embrace easily outmaneuvered age-verification tools and treat people like grownups. \u201cIn December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our \u2018treat adult users like adults\u2019 principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults,\u201d he concluded. It sounds like the trillion-dollar bubble is going back to the chattier and more sycophantic version<\/a> of ChatGPT that paying users got hooked on earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

Master Chief\u2019s voice is teasing a big Halo announcement <\/p>\n

Repped for our girl, @jentaylortown<\/a>, in Chicago this past weekend! Jen and I can\u2019t wait to see you guys at the Halo World Championships in Seattle, October 24 & 25! <\/p>\n

Steve Downes, the voice of Master Chief, is plugging the Halo World Championships later this month where he will appear with Cortana voice actor Jen Taylor. \u201cPS: BIG NEWS A\u2019COMIN!!\u201d he posted on X. We already know a Halo: Combat Evolved remake is in the works but could Microsoft be ready to peel back the curtain on the next chapter of the sci-fi franchise as well? The tech giant previously promised to reveal the future of Halo at the esports tournament on October 25-26.<\/p>\n

PS Plus leans into Halloween with more horror game additions <\/p>\n

October\u2019s tentpole game for PS Plus Extra is last year\u2019s PS5-exclusive remake of Silent Hill 2, but according to billbil-kun at Dealabs Magazine<\/a>, the remaster of Until Dawn will also be joining the subscription service lineup. Horror adventure As Dusk Falls and vampire survival sandbox V Rising will apparently be coming to PS Plus this month as well.<\/p>\n

Battlefield 6 is off to a roaring start <\/p>\n

Data firm Alinea Analytics<\/a> is projecting launch weekend sales of 6.5 million copies. The majority of those are on PC, with roughly 45 percent divided surprisingly evenly between PS5 and Xbox Series X\/S. If accurate, that\u2019s a solid rebound for the franchise, though nowhere near the momentum of previous Call of Duty games<\/a>. Battlefield 6 has also been shedding<\/a> Steam concurrents since its weekend peak.<\/p>\n

Arc Raiders is free for everyone ahead of launch <\/p>\n

Look alive, ARC Raiders is free to try this weekend!<\/p>\n

Step into the Rust Belt early. No codes. No sign-ups. You\u2019re already in.<\/p>\n
