Star Citizen is the most expensive video game ever made… well if it ever actually releases. That’s right another year, another broken crowdfunding record for the folks over at Cloud Imperium and Robert Space Industries but still no game. Today we have a new update and a whopping grand total for the amount of money, Star Citizen has crowd-funded today.

Hideo Kojima has a few interesting New Year’s Resolutions which point to multiple games in the works for Kojima Productions as well as anime. Raven Software workers are still on strike, Riot Games settles discrimination for 10 times more than they initially tried to, and Sony has 17 studios working on first-party games.

This week's 5-Second Review has Brian cursing like a sailor and the Coming Soon section is kicking off the New Year with free PUBG for all and PC port for God of War.
