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 handed an indefinite hospital order rather than a standard prison sentence back in early 2024. That arrangement has now come to an end. A prison transfer, months in the making Sign…

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 AllThe trouble began with the launch of The Kortz Center Heist update, which arrived alongside a broad economy overhaul that quietly slashed cash rewards across more than 20 existing heists and missions. The Cayo Perico Heist, long regarded as one of the most efficient money-makers in the game, took some of the hardest hits — its Pink D…

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 FinalePlenty of fans assumed The Kortz Center Heist would be the last major content drop before GTA 6 arrives. That theory made sense on paper: last year's mansions-focused update already felt like a natural sendoff, and Rockstar has spent months signaling that its attention is shifting toward its next re…

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 post from the studio, the free access window runs through Monday, July 20, and applies to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC players are left out of the promotion this time aroun…

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 top four of an LS Car Meet Race this week unlocks the Obey Omnis e-GT as a Prize Ride, priced at $1,795,000 from Legendary Motorsport. Rounding out the vehicle rotation, this week's …

If you've been paying attention to the recent trailers for Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC, you'll no doubt know that doughnuts have a pretty big role to play in the dimension-hopping — what did you expect, it's Pokémon! The Pokémon Cafe's new menu looks set to bring these sweet treats into the real world, but it also might be teasing that a pair of legendary 'mon will make their return in the DLC. Yep, we live in a world where Pokémon spoilers can come from anywhere, even doughnuts. But come on, take a look at the above two baked goods — currently appearing under the tentative titles of "Red Doughnut" and "Blue Doughnut" on the Pokémon Café's Pikachu Sweets web…

It's been an ambitious year for Xbox Game Pass in 2025, with so many incredible games joining the service over the past 11 months, and it's about to deliver another amazing slate of titles in 2026 as well. In fact, Microsoft is promising 75+ "day one" games on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate per-year moving forward, which is a massive step up on what we've been getting to date - it apparently represents a 50% increase altogether. With that in mind, they're going to need a lot of developers and publishers to remain on board. Fortunately it sounds like that's the case, as explained by the Xbox GM of Portfolio and Programmes (Chris Charla) in a recent interview. Chris, who's known p…

Rockstar Games has quietly rebalanced GTA Online's economy alongside the launch of The Kortz Center Heist, and the changes aren't all good news for veteran heisters. Cash rewards for most of the game's existing multi-stage heists have been reduced, a move that data miners and community trackers spotted almost immediately after the update went live. What's Changed According to figures uncovered by dataminers PLTytus and Lucas7yoshi_RS, the payout reductions hit a wide range of GTA Online's older heists. Rockstar hasn't framed this as a simple nerf, however — the studio is positioning it as part of a broader economy adjustment designed to keep the in-game cash flow balanced…

Rockstar Games has rolled out The Kortz Center Heist, the newest content drop for GTA Online, bringing a fresh multi-stage heist alongside a wave of vehicles, economy tweaks, and bug fixes under Title Update 1.73. A New Heist Built Around Art Theft The headline addition is the Kortz Center Heist itself, centered on a museum robbery at the Kortz Center. To unlock it, players need to buy an Art Studio add-on for an owned Mansion property, purchasable through the in-game Prix Luxury Real Estate site. Once installed, the Art Studio becomes the operation's home base, complete with a Planning Board for launching Prep Missions that build toward a Finale where players steal artwo…

Rockstar Games has kicked off a new month of GTA+ perks, and this one lands right alongside the rollout of The Kortz Center Heist. The July GTA+ Month brings a free, exclusive car, big discounts, Vinewood Car Club features, and a range of other bonuses for subscribers. Membership runs $7.99 / £6.99 / €7.99 a month, and this cycle is active from July 14th through August 12th. Free Car of the Month This month's headline vehicle is the Grotti Veleno GT, which is exclusive to GTA+ members for a week and would otherwise run $3,000,000 at Legendary Motorsport. To grab it, members just need to head to The Vinewood Car Club, where the car will be flagged as FREE for anyone with a…

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 Trophy Room — the new pieces go on a different wall entirely, so nothing gets replaced. There's a catch for completionists, though. The 27th painting, titled La Dernière Débauche, …

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 Pipeline Among the unreleased rides, law enforcement players have something to look forward to. The Police Pegassi Ingus Pursuit/Interceptor, part of the Emergency class, is set to cost …

Rockstar Games has widened the pool of vehicles eligible for the Missile Lock-On Jammer as part of The Kortz Center Heist, the newest GTA Online update. Fifty additional vehicles, including several new rides introduced alongside this DLC, can now be fitted with the anti-missile upgrade. The rollout follows the same pattern Rockstar has used with past updates, and it's a welcome one for players tired of getting blindsided by Oppressor Mk II riders or strafed by fighter jets out of nowhere. The jammer doesn't stop attacks outright, but it prevents enemy players from locking onto your vehicle in the first place. That protection isn't cheap. Installing the Missile Lock-On Jam…

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 depending on the property, with the Richman Villa sitting at the top end of the scale largely due to its proximity to the Kortz Center itself. Step 2: Add the Art Studio Once you own a ma…

The Kortz Center Heist has arrived in GTA Online, and with it comes a small but pricey new fleet of day-one vehicles. Six new rides are now available across Legendary Motorsport and Southern San Andreas Super Autos, though Rockstar is keeping the initial drop light — expect more vehicles to roll out via dripfeed as the summer update continues. Here's the full breakdown of what's available right now. Grotti Veleno GT — $3,000,000 (Legendary Motorsport) The headline vehicle of the update, the Veleno GT is currently free for all GTA+ subscribers. Non-members will have to wait until Thursday, July 23 before they can buy it outright, though it can be picked up from other playe…

Rockstar has finally confirmed how much players will need to save up for the Art Studio, the new property expansion at the heart of The Kortz Center Heist update, and it's a bigger investment than many expected. The Art Studio Costs $4,700,000 The Art Studio will run players $4,700,000 to acquire, but there are ways to bring that number down significantly. Anyone who reached Tier 3: Elitist status in the Fine Art Collector program before the update dropped qualifies for a $1,000,000 discount. On top of that, GTA+ members get an additional $1,000,000 knocked off, meaning the two discounts stack to bring the total as low as $2,700,000 for players who checked every box ahead…

The Kortz Center Heist has officially arrived in GTA Online, and Rockstar Games has confirmed exactly how much space players will need to clear out to install it across every supported platform. The update went live on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, bringing with it the game's new art gallery heist, a purchasable Art Studio, fresh vehicles, and a batch of gameplay changes. Players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S had the option to pre-load the update ahead of time, letting them jump straight into the new content the moment it unlocked rather than waiting on a day-one download. Download sizes by platform According to the confirmed figures, the …

The download for The Kortz Center Heist, GTA Online's next major update, has gone live early on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, giving players a head start ahead of its official launch on Tuesday, July 14. As with several previous DLC rollouts, Rockstar Games is letting console players pre-load the update before it actually unlocks — though notably, this option was skipped entirely for the last update, the mansions DLC, likely due to concerns over pre-release leaks. Players can find the pre-load by heading to the updates section on their console, where The Kortz Center Heist will appear labeled as a pre-download. Downloading it now won't unlock any new content early — GTA V and …

Take-Two Interactive has locked in a date for its next quarterly earnings report, giving fans a fresh marker on the road to GTA 6 — and one detail about the announcement has raised eyebrows. The DateTake-Two's press release confirms the company will report its Q1 Fiscal 2027 results on Friday, August 7, 2026 — four weeks from now. The report will cover financials through June 30, 2026, marking the first quarterly update to land since GTA 6 pre-orders officially opened. Why the Timing Is UnusualWhat's caught attention isn't the date itself so much as how it's being delivered. Take-Two plans to release the report before markets open, a departure from its usual after-market-…

Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the next major GTA Online update, The Kortz Center Heist, and it's landing sooner than many expected. The developer made the announcement Thursday, laying out release timing and a full breakdown of what players can expect from this summer's DLC after weeks of teasers.

A new GTA Online weekly update has kicked off, bringing Independence Day rewards, steep discounts, and a wave of bonuses ahead of a bigger update on the horizon. This is a shorter event week, running July 9th through July 13th, as Rockstar gears up for The Kortz Center Heist next month.

Rockstar Games has launched a limited-time Shark Card promotion in GTA Online, giving players a chance to pad their in-game bank accounts before The Kortz Center Heist update arrives later this month. The timing isn't a coincidence — big content drops like this one traditionally come with pricey new vehicles, weapons, and properties, and Rockstar has a history of rolling out Shark Card deals shortly beforehand. The OfferPlayers who purchase a Great White Shark, Whale Shark, or Megalodon Shark Card will receive a 40% bonus in GTA$ on top of the card's normal value, at no extra cost. Here's how the numbers break down: Great White Shark Card: $1,500,000 → $2,100,000 (600K fr…

A new report from Modulate, the company behind the AI voice-moderation tool ToxMod, shows that toxicity in GTA Online's voice chat has dropped sharply even as the game's player base has grown — offering Rockstar Games some hard numbers to back up a moderation system that was controversial when it launched. What Is ToxMod?Rockstar partnered with Modulate back in 2023 to bring AI-driven moderation to GTA Online's voice chat, though the system wasn't fully implemented across all versions of the game until the end of that year as part of The Chop Shop update. The tool works by analyzing voice chat in real time during sessions, allowing Rockstar to act on flagged behavior, wit…

Grand Theft Auto 6 has found itself at the center of a political debate over consumer rights, as the game's lack of a physical disc release has drawn criticism from politicians in France and the European Parliament. The SparkThe controversy follows two connected developments: reports that GTA 6 will not receive a true disc release, and PlayStation's announcement that it will end physical disc production for games altogether by 2028. Together, the news has reignited long-simmering frustration over the gaming industry's shift toward digital-only ownership. Politicians Weigh InFrench presidential candidate and La France Insoumise leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon was among the most …
