Vince tragically passed away at the end of 2025, less than 2 weeks after TGA.
Geoff Keighley responded to the heartbreaking news by saying, “Vince never wavered in his commitment to honesty and transparency. He believed that the truth mattered, and he was willing to share it with the world.
Vince was an extraordinary person - a gamer at heart, and a titan of the video game industry."

San Andreas released for the PlayStation 2. Following the success of GTA III and Vice City, San Andreas capped off Rockstar Games' 3D trilogy.

26 Years Ago (on October 26, 2000), The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was officially released for Nintendo 64 in North America.
Released two years after Ocarina of Time (1998) and using the same game engine, Link's follow-up adventure lands him in the mystical world of Termina, where ever-present clocks count down the hours until a menacing moon falls from the sky above.
We are deeply saddened to hear of Eric Bauza's passing. His voice talents extended to Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man, Batman: Arkham City, MultiVersus and so many more.
