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 SizesThe update is available across all major platforms, with file sizes indicating a reasonably substantial patch for a maintenance release. PC users will see the largest download, while console players have a smaller footprint: PC Enhanced (Steam & Rockstar Launcher): ~1.60 GB PlayStation 5: 718.6 MB PlayStation 4: 520.2 MB Xbox Series X|S: Size varies by region/console Key Fixes: Mission Creator and MansionsA major focus of this patch is the Mission Creator. Rockstar has addressed several frustration points for creators, including a critical bug that caused testing missions with teams of 2, 3, or 4 to fail instantly. Additionally, the update fixes issues with object placement when using Override Position options and ensures the model memory bar displays correctly. Perhaps the most requested addition for creators is the new Wanted Level Options. Players can now set wanted levels per objective limit, as well as block specific wanted levels and dispatch zones, allowing for more controlled custom mission scenarios. For the newly added Mansions, the patch polishes up the "Safehouse" experience: Tow Truck Service: Fixed a bug where the target vehicle would fail to appear. Entry Scenes: Players will no longer encounter an issue where the mansion entry scene fails to trigger upon exiting the property. Pet Interactions: A humorous but immersion-breaking bug where the pet dog would float—and the "pet" prompt would stay stuck on screen—has been resolved. General Stability & "The Cayo Perico Heist"Long-time players will appreciate a fix for a legacy issue in The Cayo Perico Heist where players would inexplicably spawn in the ocean when trying to exit El Rubio’s compound. Other general fixes include restoring movement controls that were lost after Junk Energy Skydiving and preventing players from getting stuck in the "KnoWay Out – Tunnel Vision" mission if the train moved prematurely. Background UpdatesIn addition to the downloadable patch, Rockstar pushed a background update (requiring no download) to address immediate exploits and logic errors. Notably, this hotfix patches a Facility Money Glitch and fixes a soft-lock issue where players could get stuck in the interrogation room during the "A Clean Break" mission. With new "Odd Jobs" content expected to drop in just a few days, this cleanup update paves the way for a smoother experience in Los Santos. Players are encouraged to download the patch immediately to ensure compatibility with online sessions. View full article

In a move that could reshape how fans experience one of the most anticipated games in history, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) might skip physical disc copies at launch entirely. According to multiple reports citing a credible European game distribution insider, Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive plans a digital-only debut on November 19, 2026, primarily to prevent the kind of pre-release leaks that plagued past titles. The Leaker and the ClaimThe rumor originates from "Graczdari," a leaker with a strong track record in physical game distribution across Europe. This source previously nailed details like the PS5 release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and the Nintendo Switch 2 launch date for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on March 26, 2026. Speaking via Polish outlet PPE.pl, Graczdari stated: "We're hearing more and more that the physical version won't be released simultaneously with the digital version to prevent leaks." Take-Two reportedly has no plans for day-one discs on Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5, forcing players to grab digital downloads from the respective stores. A physical edition could follow weeks later—or potentially slip into the first half of 2027—but nothing is confirmed yet. Why Go Digital-Only? Leaks and ProfitsRockstar has good reason to be paranoid about leaks. In 2013, GTA V spoiled weeks early when PlayStation allowed PS3 pre-downloads, flooding forums with gameplay and story reveals. Red Dead Redemption 2 suffered similarly, with early disc shipments leaking cutscenes and maps. By launching digital-first, Take-Two minimizes risks—no rogue retailer or warehouse photos to worry about. Economics play a huge role too. Digital sales net publishers about 70% revenue after platform cuts (30% to Xbox/PlayStation), versus 50%+ losses on physical copies split with manufacturers, retailers, and distributors. A digital launch could even double-dip: fans buy digitally for launch day, then snag physical collectibles later. File sizes are another hurdle. If GTA 6 exceeds 100GB—as expected for its massive open world— it won't fit on a single Blu-ray disc anyway. Recent Rockstar releases like the PS4/Switch Red Dead Redemption and next-gen GTA V already ship partial installs requiring downloads, and omit extras like physical maps. Rockstar's Digital-First PlaybookThis isn't new for Rockstar: Game Digital Strategy GTA Trilogy (2021) Digital launch; physical delayed GTA V Next-Gen (2022) Digital-only for first month Red Dead Redemption (PS4/Switch) Digital first; physical a month later Red Dead Redemption 2 Collector's (2018) Box sold separately from game disc A GTA 6 collector's edition might follow suit: fancy statues and art books in a box, game sold digitally. Fan Reactions: Outrage and AcceptanceX (formerly Twitter) is buzzing. @GTAonlineNews broke the news from RockstarINTEL, racking up likes and shares. Videogame journalist @videotechuk_ highlighted Graczdari's cred, sparking debates on digital shifts. Some fans lament the end of shelf-worthy trophies: "13 years of waiting—ruined by one warehouse photo?" Others shrug, noting modern discs are "just install prompts" anyway. Outlets like Video Games Chronicle, Dexerto, and Insider Gaming amplified the story within hours, signaling serious buzz. What Happens Next?Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has commented, but with launch eight months away, expect clarity soon—perhaps at Summer Game Fest or a dedicated trailer. For physical purists like us in the GTA community, this stings, but the industry's digital tide is undeniable. Will you pre-order digital for day one, or hold out for a disc?

Nintendo has officially unveiled Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, a definitive enhanced version of the acclaimed platformer designed specifically for the company's next-generation hardware. Scheduled for release on March 26, 2026, this new edition brings a wealth of fresh content, including a major new hub area, expanded multiplayer options, and the long-awaited playable debut of Rosalina in the Flower Kingdom. Welcome to Bellabel ParkThe centerpiece of this expansion is Bellabel Park, a vibrant new area that serves as a dedicated hub for both cooperative and competitive play. The park is divided into two distinct plazas, each catering to different social styles: Local Multiplayer Plaza: Designed for couch co-op, this area features 17 unique attractions where up to four players can play on a single system. Nintendo has confirmed that the game supports GameShare, allowing a game owner to share the experience locally with up to three other players who don't own the title. Game Room Plaza: This hub supports online and local wireless play, scaling the chaos up significantly. Up to 12 friends can compete against each other simultaneously across six different attractions. New party-style challenges revealed for the park include Fast Cash: Tip Tap's Coin Spree and Knock 'em Back: Bubble Blaster, suggesting a shift toward minigame-focused chaos similar to Mario Party. New Modes and The KoopalingsBeyond the park, the expansion adds substantial single-player and co-op content. The Toad Brigade Training Camp, located within Bellabel Park, offers a gauntlet of skill-based challenges set in remixed courses from the base game. Completing these unlocks further training courses and allows players to climb global rankings. On the narrative front, a new conflict has arisen: the seven Koopalings have stolen Bellabel Park's treasure and scattered to different worlds. Players must hunt them down to enter their specific courses and engage in boss battles to reclaim the loot. Accessibility and New CharactersFor the first time, Rosalina joins the Wonder roster, accompanied by her signature Luma. In a unique twist, Luma functions as an invulnerable assist character during multiplayer—able to spin-attack enemies and collect coins without taking damage. Interestingly, Nintendo confirmed that Luma can be controlled using the "Switch 2 mouse control functionality," a new hardware feature for the upcoming console. The update also introduces a universal Assist Mode. Intended for new players or those seeking a relaxed experience, this toggle allows any character to recover quickly from damage without losing a life, neutralizing the threat of enemies. Release Details and MerchandiseSuper Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition launches digitally and physically on March 26, 2026. Nintendo is honoring previous purchases by offering an Upgrade Pack on the same day for existing owners of the original game. To coincide with the launch, three new Amiibo figures will be released: Elephant Mario, Poplin & Prince Florian, and a Captain Toad & Talking Flower set. A standalone, non-amiibo Talking Flower toy was also announced.

This is a comprehensive guide to the Main Quest (Easter Egg) for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies map, Astra Malorum. This map is set on an abandoned observatory drifting in Saturn's rings. The Main Quest involves uncovering the fate of Dr. Thurston, battling the security drone O.S.C.A.R., and defeating the cosmic entity Caltheris. Phase 1: Setup & Wonder Weapon (LGM-1) You cannot complete the main quest without the LGM-1 Wonder Weapon. It is highly recommended to obtain this early. 1. Power & Pack-a-Punch (PaP) Open the path to the Observatory Dome. Locate two Harmonic Components (usually found in the Luminarium or near the Electro-Volt Projector). Install them into the Harmonic Oculus (the large telescope structure) to restore power and unlock PaP. 2. Crafting the LGM-1 You need to kill the roaming mini-boss, O.S.C.A.R. (the floating robot), using three specific traps. To use the traps, you first need three parts. Note: You need a Pack-a-Punched weapon to harvest these parts. Part 1: Car Battery: In Spawn, shoot the hood of the car ("Ol' Tessie") with a PaP weapon. Part 2: Aberrant Wiring: Look for a flickering lamppost (random location). Shoot the light with a PaP weapon. Part 3: Damaged Drone: Shoot one of O.S.C.A.R.’s small UFO drones with a PaP weapon until it drops this part. Part 4: Absolute Zero Fragments: Equip the Cryo Freeze ammo mod. Shoot the purple crystals around the map. Collect 3 fragments. 3. Overloading O.S.C.A.R. Lure O.S.C.A.R. into the following traps and activate them to damage/kill him. He will drop a piece of the weapon each time. He respawns the next round. Luminarium (Laser Trap): Install the Car Battery, Wiring, and Drone. Lure Oscar in and activate the Electro-Volt Projector. Observatory Dome (Sun Trap): Interact with the Harmonic Oculus viewfinder. Aim it at the Sun. Lure Oscar into the beam. Museum Infinitum (Rocket Trap): Insert the Absolute Zero Fragments into the rocket display. Lure Oscar behind the rocket and activate the test fire. Build the LGM-1 at the workbench in the Arsenal. Phase 2: The Main QuestStep 1: Thurston's Code Wait for O.S.C.A.R. to respawn. Follow him closely (stealthily) until he triggers a dialogue playback with Dr. Thurston. Listen carefully for the names of three planets mentioned in the dialogue. Go to the Machina Astralis (Library). Check the display or the globe to find the numerical values associated with those three planets. Input these numbers into the keypad near the spiral staircase. Reward: This activates a lift. Go up and retrieve the Cryo Chamber Key from the corpse. Step 2: The Brain Transplant Go to the Museum Infinitum. Smash the glass display case in the southwest corner to get the Rock Saw. Go to the Cryo Chamber in Machina Astralis. Use the Key to open it, then use the Saw to extract Thurston’s Brain. Take the brain to the Luminarium. Locate the canister with purple fluid (near the "Stars Lied to Us" graffiti). Swap the brains and activate the Perfusion Machine. Lockdown: Survive a 1-minute lockdown while protecting the machine. Once complete, pick up the canister. Step 3: The Book Puzzle (Archive of Orbis) Place the canister into the contraption on the table in Machina Astralis. Head to the Archive of Orbis. Look for a reading list on a desk (Thurston's Reading List). There are three busts (statue heads) in the room, each corresponding to a bookshelf wall. Count how many books from the Reading List are present on each specific wall. Interact with the bust for that wall that many times (e.g., if Wall A has 2 books from the list, click Bust A twice). Audio cue: A hatch opens in the ceiling. Climb up to grab the Planet Neptune model. Step 4: Aligning the Planets Find three papers around the map with compass directions (N, S, E, W) and planet names. Locations: Table near Stamin-Up (Archive), Desk in Machina Astralis, Table in Luminarium. Go to the Machina Astralis. Shoot the planets on the massive hanging model to rotate them until they match the directions found on your papers. Return to the brain canister machine and interact to start another Lockdown sequence. Step 5: The Ascendant Eye (Mars) Go to the Observatory Dome and use the Oculus. Aim at Mars. Note the symbols that appear. You will be teleported to the surface of Mars. The Pillars: Locate the pillars with symbols matching the ones you saw in the Oculus. Shoot the top of the correct pillars with the LGM-1 in the order they appeared. Interact with the symbols quickly before the timer expires. Low Gravity Puzzle: Shoot the floating obelisk to keep the "Ascendant Eye" (the bird-like object) suppressed until gravity lowers. Jump up and grab the Eye. Step 6: The Final RitualPlace the Ascendant Eye into the ancient structure in the southeast corner of the Mars arena. Return to the Observatory. A small screen on the organ piano will now show symbols. Shoot the pillars in the map (now glowing blue if done right) to channel beams into the central gravity machine. Phase 3: Boss Fight - Caltheris Preparation: Perks: Juggernog, Stamin-Up, Speed Cola are essential. Weapons: LGM-1 (fully PaP) and a high-mobility LMG or Assault Rifle (PaP Tier 3). Equipment: Monkey Bombs or decoys are vital for the "stone" phase. The Fight: Phase 1 (The Celestial Form): Caltheris floats above. Do not shoot her directly yet. Kill zombies to charge the two laser cannons on the ground. Activate both lasers simultaneously to strip her shield. Damage her critical spots (glowing red) when she falls. Phase 2 (The Gas): The arena fills with toxic gas, forcing you onto the smaller central platform. Caltheris will sweep the platform with lasers. Run back and forth to dodge. Phase 3 (The Stone Golem): Caltheris manifests as a Stone Golem on the ground. She has an armor field. You must break her armor. Warning: She throws purple electrified rocks. Do not step in the pools they create; they drain health rapidly. Focus fire on her head once armor is broken. Ending: Once defeated, Caltheris disintegrates. The cutscene plays, revealing the fate of the crew and hinting at the next map in the Shadowsmith saga. Notable Side Easter EggsFree Perks: Shoot the "steaming mechanisms" hidden high on walls in the Observatory Dome to spawn a random free perk. Music Easter Egg: Find and interact with three hidden meteorites that emit a low hum (Spawn, Mars, Archive) to play the secret song "Eclipse of the Soul". Uberclaus: If you attempt to Exfil while the Oscar drone is alive, a special boss variant "Uberclaus" may spawn (weak to Napalm Burst). View full article

Rockstar Games has deployed a new background update for GTA Online, continuing its efforts to refine the experience following the release of the "A Safehouse in the Hills" update. This latest patch, released server-side without requiring a download, specifically targets a series of exploits and glitches that have been affecting gameplay. Coming on the heels of the latest Event Week (running through January 28th), this update is the third patch released since the "mansions" DLC dropped. While previous updates have included downloadable content for bug fixes, this background patch focuses on immediate rectifications for fair play and game stability. Key Fixes and Patch Notes According to community insider Tez2, who shared the details on Twitter, the update addresses several high-profile issues, most notably "God Mode" exploits that gave players unfair advantages. The fixes include: God Mode Exploits: Patches have been applied to the RC Bandito and Nightclub Vehicle God Mode glitches. Duplication and Merge Glitches: The update fixes the "Mansion Car Merge," "Mansion Driveway Dupe," and "Office Garage Dupe" glitches. "Give Cars to Friends" (GCTF): A known workaround for this glitch has been patched. Mansion Content: A glitch allowing players to obtain Mansion Trophies and Plaques without unlocking them has been fixed. Gameplay Adjustments: Ragdolling is now disabled during the "Home Sweet Home" mission and the "Mansion Raid" Adversary Mode. Additionally, the voting screen is now skipped for new Lunar New Year Races and three new Deadline Adversary Mode maps. Community ImpactThese changes are expected to be welcomed by players looking for a more balanced lobby environment, though they effectively close loopholes for those who utilized duplication and invincibility exploits. As these are background updates, players should see the changes reflected immediately in-game. Rockstar is expected to continue monitoring the game and releasing further updates as necessary. Players can stay tuned for more news on future patches and content drops. View full article

As anticipation builds for Grand Theft Auto VI, reports have emerged suggesting the blockbuster title could face a ban in Russia before it even hits the shelves. According to a recent article from RockstarINTEL, Russian officials are raising alarms over the game's alleged "destructive content," claiming it violates the nation’s moral and spiritual values. The Allegations: "Poison of Corruption"The call for restrictions comes primarily from Mikhail Ivanov, a member of the Bryansk Regional Duma and Deputy Chairman of the World Russian People's Council. Speaking to Russian news outlets, Ivanov argued that GTA VI poses a significant risk to the moral health of society, specifically the youth. Ivanov accused Rockstar Games of "deliberately including destructive and vulgar content," describing the game as a potential "dangerous tool of influence." His specific grievance? Rumors that the game will feature male strippers. Ivanov cited this inclusion as a "direct and cynical violation of basic moral norms and traditional spiritual values." To combat this, Ivanov proposed strict legal restrictions on the game's distribution or demanded that Rockstar release a sanitized version for the Russian market, stripped of what he deems "immoral content." The Reality: A Moot Point?While the rhetoric is strong, the threat of a ban may be largely symbolic. As the RockstarINTEL report notes, Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, halted all sales in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Currently, Russian gamers cannot purchase Rockstar titles physically or digitally directly from the publisher. Unless geopolitical circumstances change significantly before the game's release, GTA VI will likely not be officially sold in Russia anyway. Consequently, Ivanov’s demand for a "censored" version or a ban essentially targets a product that is already unavailable in the region's legal market. Rockstar's History of Regional ChangesIt is worth noting that Rockstar has historically adapted its games to comply with local laws. For instance, gambling features in GTA Online are disabled in various countries, and specific content was modified for the Japanese release of GTA V. However, given the current suspension of business in Russia, it is unlikely the studio would invest resources into creating a specific, censored version for a market they have exited. As the release date draws closer, it remains to be seen if these moral objections will evolve into formal legislation, or if they will remain merely political posturing against a game that—officially, at least—won’t be there to play.

Harbour Masters, the team behind such PC ports as Ship of Harkinian (Ocarina of Time), 2ship2harkinian (Majora's Mask), Spaghetti Kart (Mario Kart 64), and Starship (Star Fox 64), have today released a new project: Ghostship. A PC port of Super Mario 64, Ghostship currently promises to offer a simple install experience akin to their previous projects, as well as high refresh rate gameplay, a modern configuration UI, a debug menu, level select, and texture pack support. With the project still in its early stages, there's still more yet to come. The team also plan to add both custom model support and a randomizer to the title. Those interested can download it from the project's GitHub page, with updates shared both there and via the team's Discord server. As with their previous releases, you will need a ROM file to acquire the game's assets from. Placing this in the same folder as the app, this process is automatic and about as seamless as it can be.

Update 2.0 to Super Bruh Bros - changed the title screen and Made the last 2 levels better and substantially easier. Added more color changes. This is not for beginners. Baby Bruh version coming soon BRUH…. Nerdalert lost his VCR and is on the hunt looking for the culprit who took it. Venture through 7 worlds of New mechanics, custom music, and objects not normally seen in smb3. Wall Jump, Regrab/float, Upthrow, and other things like a PAUSE MENU with restart and return to map! Nerd used code that OrangeExpo made available on github from Orb Bros. And Code from Grumpy Mario Bros by NEB Simmons. Two of the best smb3 kaizo hacks. Nerdalert learned assembly (ASM) for this project and worked on this hack by self for almost a year. Self taught how to make custom music by manually changing every hex code number to correlate with different notes and instruments. The Goat, Wilsonpenn, helped with any questions had about Assembly as stumbled way through it. The hope was to make a fun and approachable hack for the game that love, and deserves more love - SMB3. If Orb Bros, Grumpy Bros, and Goth/Fraud Bros 2 had a baby , THIS would be it. Super_Bruh_Bros_v2.0.zip

Old Man Link and The Minish V1.2 The “Legend of Zelda The Hunters Song” tells a story that hopes to resonate with video game players both old and new. Old man Link, his adventures long behind him, is awoken by an old friend. The Minish have a request. Yet even in his winter years, Link yearns for yet another adventure. But why? The Picori/Minish, play a role similar to that of Yuletide advisory spirits (á la Christmas Carrol). They’ll be guiding Link to reflect within, as he ventures forward. This is a short story centered romhack. It remodels certain sections of the overworld and the first three dungeons of the game. There are several enemy and NPC sprite changes. There is no sword to use as you are a hunter. The “Legend of Zelda The Hunters Song” was started on December 2023 and was completed December 2024. This is it’s second version.This re-release Romhack of Zelda 3, A Link To The Past(SNES), makes some changes to V1.0. Most notable changes are in the difficulty and slight changes in the dialogue. The Romhack was created by Alfonso DeLaVega with the help and guidance of the Zscream community. Join their discord for projects of your own. HuntersSongV1.2.zip
