Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner Talks Season 6 Premiere’s Big Win
Full spoilers for Game of Thrones: Season 6’s premiere, “The Red Woman,” continue below.
It’s about damn time.
Brienne of Tarth has been on the hunt for Sansa Stark for seasons and seasons on Game of Thrones, and Sansa has been in desperate need of a champion for just as long.

That rescue and Brienne’s subsequent pledge of loyalty to Sansa mark a big turning point for both of their arcs, and actress Sophie Turner promises good things are to come for her character.

What makes the rating interesting is the fact that Evolution Studios, the developer behind DriveClub, shut down last month. It's possible Evolution was working on the VR port before closure and the work was transferred to another studio, or development had already finished on it.
