Fans eager for news on the highly anticipated Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake were left wanting this Tuesday following Remedy Entertainment’s latest financial briefing. While the Finnish studio released its Financial Statements for 2025, detailing a profitable fourth quarter, concrete updates on the noir-shooter’s return were notably absent. According to Remedy’s leadership, this silence is by design—but not their own. Rockstar Holds the Keys to Communication During the investor webcast accompanying

Update [Sun 23rd Nov 2025, 2am]: It seems we might have got to the bottom of this mystery. According to multiple online listings, Capcom will offer "Lenticular Editions" of Resident Evil Requiem for all platforms. So, not just for the Switch 2 but also the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game. Some listings describe this as being a "case sleeve" or "card" (featuring what is basically a changing picture, depending on the angle you view it from). This same type of card has also r

Returnal may not be the best-selling PS5 exclusive, but it’s attracted a slew of copycats. The latest of those looks to be ARMATUS, a roguelite third-person shooter launching in 2026. This game is set in the “demon-infested ruins of Paris”, which some would argue is just modern-day France. But we think the dev’s taking a few creative liberties with the various firearms and celestial powers you’ll have access to. Here’s what the blurb says: The combat in the trailer looks tight, but we’ll need to

The new upgrade for Red Dead Redemption is out today on all platforms, and while the game is now live and playable on Xbox Series X|S, the upgrade path from the old Xbox 360 version isn't working for lots of players - and there's some confusion as to why at the moment. When the team at Rockstar announced this new version of RDR last month, they said that "current owners on PS4, Nintendo Switch, or the digital backward compatible version on Xbox One will be able to upgrade digitally for free". Ho

Rockstar Games announced today, November 6, that Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed again. The game will now launch on November 19, 2026. This is a significant push from its previous release date of May 26, 2026, adding another six-month wait for the most anticipated game in history. The news was confirmed by Rockstar in an official statement on their Newswire and social media, and by their parent company, Take-Two Interactive, during its Q2 earnings call. Rockstar's Official Statement In a po

Rockstar Games just quietly slipped a new background update into GTA Online, and while it’s small on paper, it’s doing some important housekeeping while also winking at what’s coming next month. The patch went live on March 24, 2026, right on the heels of last week’s downloadable PC update that only mentioned vague “stability and security” fixes. Unlike big title updates that force you to download gigabytes, this one is a true server-side background patch. You don’t have to do anything — the nex

Rockstar Games has quietly rolled out a new background update for GTA Online on April 22, 2026. As with most of these server-side hotfixes, no download is required—changes apply automatically the next time you load into Los Santos. The patch targets lingering issues from last week’s 420 event while cleaning up some long-running exploits that players had been abusing. What Got Fixed According to community insider Tex2 (who first spotted the update), the patch notes are short and focused: Fixes an

Rockstar Games has released a significant new downloadable patch for GTA Online, aimed at smoothing out the experience following the recent "A Safehouse in the Hills" DLC. Released on January 27, 2026, this update serves as the second major patch since the content drop, targeting a wide array of bugs ranging from Mission Creator glitches to odd visual errors in the new Mansions. Update Overview & Download Sizes The update is available across all major platforms, with file sizes indicating a

Rockstar Games is gearing up for the next era of player-driven experiences in the Grand Theft Auto universe. As the highly anticipated GTA 6 launch approaches, the studio is aggressively expanding its Creator Platform team — the same group now overseeing FiveM — with a clear focus on user-generated content (UGC) inspired by the biggest names in creator economies. According to fresh job listings spotted by the RockstarINTEL community, Rockstar is actively hiring experts who live and breathe platf

In a fresh wave of scrutiny hitting one of gaming’s biggest players, Rockstar Games’ latest UK company accounts have thrust the studio into the spotlight — not for its blockbuster titles, but for its aggressive use of government tax incentives. The fan-site RockstarINTEL broke down the numbers on February 18, 2026, under the headline “Rockstar Games Financials Revealed: ‘Grand Theft Tax’ Scandal Sparks Urgent Demands,” reigniting debates about corporate welfare, worker rights, and the true cost

In a significant development for gamers in Brazil, Rockstar Games has stopped selling its digital titles directly through the Rockstar Games Store and Launcher starting March 16, 2026. The move complies with the country’s newly effective Digital Statute of the Child and Adolescent (Digital ECA), a sweeping law designed to safeguard minors online. Rockstar Games confirmed the change in an official support article titled “Latest information on the Digital ECA for Brazilian players.” The statement

Rockstar Games has been quietly working on a fresh chat solution for GTA Online, and the news is already sparking excitement (and a healthy dose of skepticism) among longtime players. According to the latest datamine, the studio is developing a completely overhauled text-chat system that ditches the old in-game window in favor of a sleek overlay built right into the Rockstar Games Launcher. The move comes more than a year after the controversial GTA V Enhanced PC release stripped away the classi

Rockstar Games has quietly pushed out a fresh update to its dedicated PC launcher, giving players a handful of meaningful tweaks designed to smooth out the experience for everyone logging in to play GTA, Red Dead Redemption, or any of the publisher’s other titles. The update, version 1.0.106.2850, rolled out on Tuesday and will automatically download the next time you launch the Rockstar Games Launcher. While the launcher has never been everyone’s favorite way to play Rockstar games (many still

In a landmark shift for the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption modding communities, Rockstar Games—through its subsidiary Cfx.re—has officially launched the Cfx Marketplace. This new platform serves as a curated digital storefront where creators can sell their custom assets and scripts directly to server owners and fans. This move signals a major evolution in Rockstar’s relationship with the modding community, transitioning from a stance of cautious tolerance to active integration and mone

Rockstar Games, the studio behind the massively anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, has found itself in the spotlight once again — this time not for a trailer or release date, but for a government ruling on worker pay. On March 19, 2026, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published its latest list of employers who failed to pay the National Minimum Wage. Among the 389 companies named and shamed was Rockstar Games UK Limited, the legal entity that runs all of Rockstar’s UK operations, including

Rockstar Games has quietly rolled out a new software update for the original Red Dead Redemption, targeting frustrating audio problems that have annoyed players since the native current-generation ports launched in December 2025. The patch, which began deploying on February 24, 2026 (listed as version 1.06 officially and 1.002 on consoles), applies primarily to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Although Rockstar’s support page mentions PC in the notes, no update has appeared for that platform y

Rockstar Games, the studio behind the massively anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, is once again the target of a high-profile cyber incident. According to multiple cybersecurity reports published today, the notorious hacking collective ShinyHunters has claimed responsibility for breaching the company’s systems and is now demanding a ransom — with a deadline of April 14, 2026. Unlike the devastating 2022 leak that flooded the internet with 90 minutes of raw GTA 6 gameplay footage, this breach did n

As anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI continues to reach fever pitch, Rockstar Games has swiftly removed newly added store data for the game following a backend leak that led to unexpected fan exploits. The saga began last week when reputable dataminer PlayStationSize discovered that Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive had uploaded two specific title IDs for GTA 6 onto the PlayStation Store's backend: PPSA01547_00 and PPSA29660_00. Naturally, this discovery sent the community into overdriv

Even in the highly anticipated “GTA 6 release year,” Rockstar’s veteran titles continue to prove they’re far from retirement. Fresh sales, download, and player-count data for January and February 2026 show both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 kicking off the year with massive momentum — just as they have for over a decade. GTA V Still the King of Player Engagement According to Ampere Analysis (via The Game Business), GTA V ranked as the second most-played game across Steam, Xbox, an

Rockstar Games is giving GTA Online players a chance to boost their in-game bank accounts with a new promotion, signaling that players will need all the cash they can get for the highly anticipated "Mansions" update set to release next month. The new "Special Offer" is a 40% bonus on select high-value Shark Cards. This promotion is clearly aimed at helping players prepare for the new luxury properties, which are "expected to be extremely expensive." The 40% bonus applies to the following Shark C

Rockstar Games, one of the most renowned names in the gaming industry, is reportedly ramping up preparations for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. According to recent job postings highlighted by Rockstar Intel, the company is looking to hire developers with hands-on experience on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms to work on content creation tools. The listings suggest that Rockstar is placing significant emphasis on enabling robust in-game content creation capabilities. This m

If you logged into GTA Online today, April 1, 2026, and thought your eyes were playing tricks on you... nope, it's real. Rockstar Games just dropped a full-on winter wonderland across Los Santos and Blaine County as their latest April Fools prank—and it's the first time they've brought back the snow in over half a decade. Snowflakes are drifting down everywhere, turning the sunny streets of Vinewood and the dusty trails of the countryside into a temporary Christmas card. You can actually scoop

As 2025 draws to a close, the gaming industry is listening to a familiar sound: the deafening silence of Rockstar Games. With the release of Grand Theft Auto VI officially slated for November 19, 2026, the studio’s lack of communication has transformed every forum thread and group chat into a hotbed of speculation. This strategy raises a critical question: Is Rockstar withholding information to protect the integrity of their art, or are they carefully manipulating the industry's patience to maxi

Despite being years (or even over a decade) old, Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 continue to prove why they’re two of the biggest franchises in gaming history. Fresh sales, download, and streaming data released in early April 2026 highlight their impressive performance last month and through the first quarter — all while fans await the next big Rockstar title. PlayStation Download Charts: March 2026 PlayStation released its official monthly charts for March 2026, covering PS5, PS4,

It's no secret that Microsoft wants the ROG Xbox Ally to feel as comfortable for console users as possible, but that can be difficult when you're wielding a Windows 11 PC in your hands. One of the problems is that games require tinkering in terms of power settings, frame rates, graphics and various other things that can affect the likes of performance and battery life. To counter this, Xbox has unveiled a new feature called "Default Game Profiles" that will support over 40 games at launch (it's
