Game and Reading Recommendations for July 2026

007 Universe News

Although there are no new 007 movies, the theme can be revisited with a new game developed by IO Interactive, the same producer as Hitman. This title narrates the journey of a young Bond during his training to become an MI6 agent. For those who prefer a classic, the game GoldenEye 007, originally from the Nintendo 64, is available for purchase in Switch and Xbox stores. The game 007 First Light is available for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S for the price of R$ 300.

Autobiographical Comic Book Release

Sidney Gusman, an editor at Mauricio de Sousa Produções for almost twenty years and responsible for the Graphic MSP imprint, launches his debut as an author. He publishes an autobiographical comic book focusing on his relationship with his father, Domingos, whose life began and ended on a Sunday, a theme that permeates every chapter of the work.

Biography of the Chess Grandmaster

Uirá Machado describes the trajectory of Mequinho, considered the greatest Brazilian chess player of all time, as the story of remarkable skill. In the 1970s, Mequinho reached third place in the world rankings. After a ten-year hiatus dedicated to chess, he attempted to pursue a career as a priest. This biography is the result of four years of research on this genius, little known by current generations.

Changes in the Gaming Market

There is also a significant change in the gaming sector: Sony plans to stop producing physical media games starting in 2028. In 2024, discs accounted for only 3% of PlayStation game sales, but the decision generated a strong negative reaction. A petition with over 200 thousand signatures demands that Sony reverse this decision, arguing that the disc constitutes a real property, subject to lending and resale, while the digital format is merely a license to use that can be canceled. Microsoft is also showing interest in abandoning discs, having announced tests to convert physical Xbox games to digital format. Therefore, consumers are advised to take good care of their discs, as they may soon become collector's items.
