The Kortz Center Heist has brought a fresh wave of decor to GTA Online's mansion properties, and this time it's all about art. Alongside the new purchasable art studio, players now have a full lineup of stealable paintings to hang throughout their luxury homes. 27 Paintings, Three Rooms In total, there are 27 new paintings up for grabs, spread across the Trophy Room, Entrance, and Basement levels of your mansion. Importantly, these are separate from the three paintings already available in the

The past week has been chaotic for anyone trying to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI spoilers. Following the wave of gameplay footage attributed to the leaker known as Cyberleek — which has already exposed the game's full map, its weapon wheel, taunt mechanics, and NPC combat — attention has now turned to something a little less dramatic but arguably just as exciting for longtime fans: the radio. Vehicles in the leaked clips have been caught playing unannounced songs, and a separate leak specifically s

The Kortz Center Heist is officially live, but Rockstar isn't putting all of its new rides out on day one. Dataminer @NeedForMadnessA has uncovered the full roster of vehicles still waiting in the wings, complete with in-game imagery, pricing, and vehicle class breakdowns. As with past updates, Rockstar is expected to drip-feed these cars, trucks, and bikes out gradually over the coming weeks and months rather than dumping them into Southern San Andreas all at once. What's Coming Down the Pipeli

GTA Online's summer update, The Kortz Center Heist, is now live, and it brings the game's first brand-new heist since Cayo Perico back in 2020. Along with new vehicles and gameplay changes, the update introduces a purchasable Art Studio that players will need before they can even think about hitting the museum. Step 1: Buy a Mansion Before anything else, you'll need to own one of the three Prix Luxury mansions, available through the in-game Prix Luxury Real Estate website. Pricing varies dependi

Rockstar Games has always played the long game. They don’t just make sequels — they study their own work like master chefs refining a signature dish, pulling out flavors that worked, tweaking what didn’t, and occasionally sneaking in an ingredient nobody saw coming. Now, a former insider is giving fans their clearest look yet at how that philosophy is playing out behind the scenes on Grand Theft Auto VI. In a candid new interview with the YouTube channel KIWI TALKZ, Rob Carr — a veteran audio de

The fanmade remake of the cult classic, EarthBound, has gotten its second Video Relaxant update yesterday. The fan remake, titled Mother², is a remake of EarthBound for the SNES that's been in development for some years now, with trailers and video updates being released in either the Mother Direct events or on their own Mother² YouTube channel, with the first Video Relaxant update video being mode 2 years ago. The fan game is being developed on the Godot engine, and the artstyle for the game

There's nothing quite like learning the ins and outs of a fighting game, but sometimes, you just want to mash on buttons and enjoy cool moves and animations. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is almost two years old at this point, but that hasn't stopped developers Cygames and Arc System Works from releasing a meaty update that attempts to welcome new players. Patch 2.40 is out now on PS5 and PS4 in celebration of the title's second anniversary. It introduces two new control schemes, amusingly tit

Work on the movie adaptation of a smash hit co-op shooter Helldivers is now well underway. Justin Lin of Fast & Furious fame will direct the film, based on a script written by horror movie veteran Gary Dauberman. He’s best known for writing the screenplays for It and Annabelle. As you’d expect, the film will be released by Sony Pictures Entertainment, with PlayStation subsidiary PS Productions overseeing the project. Additional organisations involved will include Lin’s own Perfect Storm Ente

Remedy's co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak hasn't exactly had the quickest start to life on Xbox, but the team vowed to support the game back in the summer; announcing a major update for later in the year. Well, that 'Rogue Protocol' update has now been delayed, as the studio "makes sure everything feels right" for its launch. Announcing the news via Steam, the Control dev says that its cross-platform voice chat feature is now live, but that the accompanying 'major update' has been delayed to January

Prolific Game Boy developer Gumpy Function (AKA Tom Lockwood, one of the talented people behind the amazing Grimace's Birthday) has just announced the release of Feed IT Souls: Department of Martian Efficiency Edition, a Metroidvania for the Game Boy Color which serves as a remake of his GB Compo 23 game jam effort. Described by its creator as a title which satirises Elon Musk and the "techno-feudalists of the corporate world", the game's origin was inspired by Musk's purchase of the social medi

Square Enix's excellent release Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles has received a new game update this week, bumping it up to Version 1.4.0. This update includes "various improvements" which should enhance the overall experience. There are some fixes (including addressing an issue that prevented the Akademy report "Master of All Trades" from being completed), character name fixes, adjustments, and much more. Below are the official patch notes via the game's Steam page: Final Fantasy T

Opinions will always be split on the best iteration of Final Fantasy, and so it's interesting to hear that living industry legend and Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has shared his own thoughts on the franchise. Once upon a time, Dragon Quest was in direct competition with Final Fantasy; the two properties vying for the RPG crown back in the 80s and 90s. Of course, this was before Square and Enix merged to form Square Enix, causing the two titans of the genre to fall under the same publishing um

A group of former Rockstar Games developers currently locked in a legal battle with the studio has a message for players weighing whether to skip GTA 6 in protest: don't. In a video released through the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB), several of the more than 30 developers dismissed from Rockstar last October laid out exactly how they'd like fans to show support — and boycotting the biggest game of the year isn't on the list. "We're going to make this easy for you," the fired

After more than a year of near-silence, the team behind FiveM has confirmed that the Enhanced-edition version of the popular modding platform is about to launch. Cfx.re, the group that develops FiveM, shared the news in a development update posted to its official forum this week, ending months of speculation from a community that had grown increasingly restless waiting for concrete details. FiveM for GTA V Enhanced will enter early access on Tuesday, July 21st, 2026. The "early access" label is

After nearly a year of radio silence that left fans both anxious and frustrated, the highly anticipated FiveM update for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced is finally inching closer to reality. On Wednesday, the Cfx.re development team released a comprehensive blog post detailing the project's progress, and it's clear that the wait will be well worth it. Rather than delivering a straightforward port to the new version of GTA V, the team has taken a much more ambitious route. According to the update, co

As the gaming industry braces for the colossus that is Grand Theft Auto VI, a former Call of Duty executive has issued a stark warning: the upcoming title may not just dominate the charts—it could completely drain the life out of current free-to-play giants. Greg Reisdorf, the former Creative Director at Sledgehammer Games who led development on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s multiplayer, believes the launch of GTA 6 represents an existential threat to mature-themed live-service games. Speakin

Gregg Mayles recently announced his departure from Rare after 36 years, which means the brains behind such classics as Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie is no longer with the legendary British studio. While he's very much focused on his future, Mayles is equally keen to promote his past, and has been digging into his personal archives to unearth material related to Banjo-Tooie, which recently celebrated its 25th birthday. Among the paperwork you'll find scripts, unfilmed TV comm

Hiroshi Kubota, a former Sega staffer who worked as a sound programmer and composer, has passed away, we're sad to report. The news was broken by former colleague Koichi Namiki on social media and picked up by @allcityslopshop.com. According to Namiki, Kubota had been "battling illness for a long time." Kubota joined Sega in 1989, and, as documented by Sega Retro, one of his earliest ventures was the Mega Drive port of Sorcerian, for which he composed half of the new tracks with Tokuhiko Uwabo.

The leaker known as Cyberleek isn't slowing down. In the span of roughly 48 hours, four separate clips of GTA 6 gameplay have made their way online, and the latest one is the most substantial yet — a two-minute-24-second stretch of raw footage that finally gives fans a proper look at the game's weapon wheel. What's in the Clip The video opens with Jason walking down a road as the sun sets, before he kicks a police officer off a motorcycle and steals it. From there, whoever captured the footage p

As the Xbox Series X|S generation continues and another one is on the horizon, it's being reported this week that a subsidiary of manufacturing company Foxconn is planning to expand its Xbox production over in Vietnam. This report comes from Reuters, which mentions that Fushan Technology, which is part of Foxconn, is trying to obtain a permit to produce up to 4.8 million "Xbox gaming devices, parts of the consoles and other unspecified electromagnetic devices" per-year, according to a company do

If you're looking to boost your criminal empire in GTA Online, Rockstar Games has just dropped an incredible opportunity that requires almost zero effort. A new promotion is currently giving away half a million in-game dollars to players, alongside a few extra firepower and vehicular perks. Here is a full breakdown of the offer, who is eligible, and how you can claim your free GTA$500,000. Who is Eligible? The free cash offer was first spotted by community member @PLTytus and has quickly caught

The Total War series has long been at the centre of all things strategic in gaming — but the franchise has always maintained a PC focus. That's going to change with future titles, however. During the property's 25th anniversary showcase, British developer Creative Assembly basically confirmed the new direction, stating that Total War's new engine — delightfully named the Warcore engine — should allow the studio to account for console releases going forward. "In a franchise first, [the Warcore en

Rockstar Games is about to pull back the curtain on Leonida once more. Game Informer has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto VI is the cover star of issue 382, with a 14-page feature built around exclusive interviews with Rockstar's lead designers. The digital edition goes live on September 29. A long-running tradition continues For more than two decades, Rockstar has used Game Informer as a launchpad for major reveals, and GTA 6 is no exception. Fans had speculated about a cover story for months, a

Although Capcom has remained tightlipped on the prospect of Leon Kennedy cropping up in the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, a good number of fans are adamant that the veteran character will indeed appear. However, a new listing over on GameStop drops some new information regarding the Deluxe Edition of the game which, if accurate, seems to hint at a completely different playable character: Rosemary Winters (thanks, IGN). Rose Winters is, if you remember, the protagonist in the Shadows of Rose DL

GTA 6 pre-orders opened to enormous fanfare last Thursday, June 25, with online estimates suggesting millions of players have already put down $70-$100 for the most expensive game ever made. But according to reports surfacing from GameStop employees, that excitement isn't translating into foot traffic at physical retail locations — and the reason seems to come down to one decision from Rockstar. As first noticed by Polygon, GameStop staff have taken to Reddit to share just how badly in-store pre
