Toys “R” Us is opening 120 new US stores while experimenting with creator studios And Oprah is taking AHA to the Sphere in Las Vegas?!
GTA 6, Pokémon in space, Street Fighter inside Apex, the return of Toys “R” Us and Oprah at Sphere. Also Nic’s quick report from Meta Connect 2026! A weird week, but a good one!
