She's 'in Mongolia.' There are dinosaurs.

Planet Zoo 2 scored 85 on Metacritic—but a week in, 40% of its 2,540 Steam reviews are negative.

Players call it 'completely unplayable' as animals teleport and fish get boxed for no reason.

Xbox is emailing lapsed Series X owners to sell theirs back for up to $375 at Best Buy—while refurbished units resell for $729.99.

Likely driver: RAM shortages and GTA 6 demand.
