Just days after Rockstar Games announced the disappointing delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 into late 2026, there's a silver lining for PlayStation fans. According to a new, reliable report, Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online are set to make their return to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog this month. This news comes from the well-known and highly accurate leaker "billbil-kun" of Dealabs, who has a near-perfect track record for revealing PS Plus lineups ahead of their official announcement. Here’s wh

Rockstar Games’ blockbuster Grand Theft Auto V (and its massively popular multiplayer component, GTA Online) is once again preparing to exit Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service. According to the latest update from RockstarINTEL, the game will be removed on April 15, 2026 — exactly one year after it returned to the service. This marks the end of GTA V’s longest-ever stay on Game Pass. The title first re-entered the catalog on April 15, 2025, timed perfectly with the launch of the GTA

Grand Theft Auto V, one of the most popular games in Indonesia, was briefly hit with a “Refused Classification” (RC) rating under the country’s brand-new Indonesia Game Rating System (IGRS). The label effectively made the game unavailable for purchase on Steam for Indonesian users earlier this month, sparking widespread confusion and backlash among local gamers. The drama began in the first week of April 2026 when Steam started displaying IGRS age ratings for games in Indonesia. Instead of the e

Even with the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI looming on the horizon, its predecessor refuses to fade into obscurity. According to a 2025 streaming report by analytics firm Stream Hatchet, Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) was the second most watched game across all live streaming platforms last year, reaffirming its status as a cultural phenomenon more than a decade after its initial release. The Numbers Game In 2025, GTA V accumulated over 1.9 billion hours of watch time across platforms like

Shawn Fonteno, the actor and voice behind Franklin Clinton in Grand Theft Auto V, says he won't be jumping into another stream with Kai Cenat — and he laid out exactly why during a recent sit-down on the Dope as Usual Podcast. Fonteno has crossed paths with Kai multiple times over the years, including bringing his cousin Young Maylay — the voice of CJ in San Andreas — onto Kai's channel for some fan-favorite moments. On the surface, it's looked like a solid relationship between two of gaming's b

Rockstar Games has pushed a new patch for GTA V and GTA Online, and this one didn't come with any fanfare — it quietly strips a well-liked track off one of the game's radio stations. The change was first flagged by dataminer Tex2, who spotted that Tuesday morning's patch removes Moloko's "The Time Is Now" from Non Stop Pop FM. The song has been a station staple for years, and its disappearance didn't go unnoticed — fans took to social media almost immediately to voice their frustration. So far,

With launch just over a week away, Rockstar Games has let another piece of Vice City slip out, and this one fooled plenty of people into thinking they were watching real life. A Miami-focused Instagram account called Only In Dade posted a short in-game clip from Grand Theft Auto VI to its story on Wednesday night. The account is known for covering the quirkier side of Miami-Dade County. After roughly an hour of fans debating on social media whether the video was authentic, Rockstar settled it by

With Grand Theft Auto VI arriving on November 19, the demand numbers are starting to match the hype. Market research firm Circana reported on October 28 that 29% of US console and PC gamers say they intend to buy the game.

A sprawling new leak is tearing through GTA forums and social media tonight, reportedly exposing Grand Theft Auto VI's complete in-game map alongside two clips of unreleased gameplay footage. If verified, it would mark the most significant breach of Rockstar's security since the infamous 2022 leak that upended the game's development cycle. The material is being attributed to a group calling itself Cyberleak, which claims to be acting in the name of "gamers' rights." Alongside the map, the group
