Arion Kurtaj, the hacker responsible for the massive 2022 GTA 6 gameplay leak, has been transferred from a secure psychiatric hospital to a standard prison ahead of a fresh criminal trial. Kurtaj was convicted on multiple counts of hacking and fraud after infiltrating Rockstar's internal systems and leaking 90 clips of early GTA VI footage years before the game's release, alongside GTA V's source code. Because of his autism diagnosis and doctors' concerns that he posed a continued risk, he was h

Rockstar Games appears to be listening. Just days after sweeping payout cuts across GTA Online's heist roster sparked a wave of community anger, the studio has made an unannounced adjustment to The Doomsday Heist that partially walks back the reductions — a sign that player pushback is already having an effect. The Backlash That Started It All The trouble began with the launch of The Kortz Center Heist update, which arrived alongside a broad economy overhaul that quietly slashed cash rewards acr

Rockstar Games isn't done with GTA Online yet. In the wake of The Kortz Center Heist update, the studio used its latest Newswire post to drop a string of hints about what's still to come for the nine-year-old online mode — including a fresh seasonal Mission Series, more dripfed vehicles, and a Halloween refresh that's arriving within weeks. A Heist Update That Wasn't the Finale Plenty of fans assumed The Kortz Center Heist would be the last major content drop before GTA 6 arrives. That theory ma

Rockstar Games is giving players a free pass into Los Santos this week, tying the offer to the launch of GTA Online's newest update, The Kortz Center Heist. The DLC went live on Tuesday, introducing a new heist centered on a lucrative art theft, along with a batch of new vehicles and other additions to the game's ever-expanding roster of content. To mark the occasion, and with GTA 6 drawing closer on the horizon, Rockstar is opening GTA Online up to everyone at no cost. According to a newswire p

Rockstar Games has rolled out a new GTA Online Weekly Update to coincide with the launch of The Kortz Center Heist, refreshing the game's rotating content lineup for an Event Week running from July 14th through 22nd. Players heading to the Diamond Casino this week can take a daily spin on the Lucky Wheel for a shot at the Dinka Jester RR, a vehicle valued at $1,970,000 from Legendary Motorsport, with GTA+ members now getting two spins every 24 hours instead of one. Elsewhere, finishing in the to

Eight months after its August 28, 2025 release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater stands tall as one of the best ways to experience Hideo Kojima’s 2004 masterpiece. Built in Unreal Engine 5, this isn’t a radical reimagining—it’s a loving, high-fidelity recreation that modernizes visuals, controls, and quality-of-life while keeping every iconic moment intact. Graphics & Atmosphere: 9.5/10 The Tselinoyarsk jungle has never felt more alive. Dense foliage sways real

Just 24 hours after its February 27, 2026 launch, Resident Evil Requiem (the ninth mainline entry) already feels like the series' victory lap after three decades of evolution. Directed by Koshi Nakanishi and built on the RE Engine, this is Capcom at the absolute peak of its powers—blending the raw, claustrophobic terror of Resident Evil 7 and Village with the slick, over-the-top action of the RE4 remake into one cohesive, heart-pounding package. It's not just another zombie game; it's the emotio

For nearly three decades, Final Fantasy Tactics has sat on the strategy RPG throne, often imitated but rarely equaled. With the release of The Ivalice Chronicles late last year, Square Enix has finally brought Ramza Beoulve’s war-torn journey to modern hardware. After spending 60+ hours with the game (and another 10 tinkering with the "Classic" mode), I can confidently say this is the definitive way to play the masterpiece—though it comes with a few baffling omissions that keep it from absolute

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the enhanced version of the 2020 classic, finally arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 just days ago on January 22, 2026. This port brings the full Intergrade experience—including the base game and the excellent Yuffie-focused Episode INTERmission DLC—to Nintendo's powerful new hybrid console. For years, fans wondered if Square Enix's ambitious remake project would ever grace a Nintendo platform. Now that it's here, it feels like a perfect fit, delivering one of the

Look, Black Ops 7 is the latest in Treyarch's Black Ops saga—a direct sequel to Black Ops 2 set in 2035, where you're chasing ghosts from the past (literally, with fear toxins and nightmare realms) as David "Section" Mason and his squad take on some evil tech corp called The Guild. Critics gave it a middling 65-66 on Metacritic, calling it "mixed." Users? A brutal 1.6—"Overwhelming Dislike"—the lowest ever for a Call of Duty game. Steam's at 35% positive. Why the Grand Canyon of a review gap? Cr
