We're pleased to announce the launch of an all-new video player across all of IGN. The new player -- we call it V6 -- rolls out globally today on desktop and mobile web.
Video has helped us cover games and entertainment for two decades. Back in the day, we offered download links to stamp-sized Quicktime files. Video has come a long way since then, and our new V6 player is thoroughly modern.

The new video player runs entirely in HTML and Javascript, which means absolutely zero use of Flash. That's good for mobile, naturally, but also means improved performance in desktop web browsers.
