Microsoft is reportedly planning to offer free game streaming in exchange for advertisements. As per TweakTown, Xbox Gaming CFO Tim Stuart suggested during the recent Wells Fargo TMT Summit that to expand geographically, it would be ideal to leverage the company's xCloud service, allowing players to cloud stream games at any ‘endpoint' via a simple Game Pass Ultimate subscription. He further added, “For models like Africa, or India, Southeast Asia, maybe places that aren't console-first, you can say, ‘Hey, do you want to watch 30 seconds of an ad and then get two hours of game streaming?'”

Guildford.Games Ltd – a not-for-profit initiative introduced to «showcase the local industry and bring the concentrated, creative talent within Guildford to the attention of the world» – has confirmed its 2024 event will kick off on 16th February 2024.

It is no secret that Apple is working towards reducing its dependence on China for the production of its various devices, including iPhones. In recent years, Apple has shifted its focus towards India and wants to expand its partnership by planning to produce the iPhone 16 battery in India. Suppliers in India have been told to upscale their production for the same. China is Apple's massive production and supply chain country, but India is taking away a lot of their business away. The shift is happening due to the many risk factors that were exposed by the COVID-19 years. Know what Apple is planning for its new generation of iPhone.

Ahead of the Season 1 finale of, Netflix announced that its newest reality competition series has officially received an early Season 2 renewal. Casting for Season 2 is now currently underway. This comes after Squid Game: The Challenge earned a spot on streamer’s Top 10 list in 93 countries.

The churn of Netflix content makes it almost inevitable that occasionally disparate movies and TV shows will share similar titles. It’s decidedly less typical for two different films bearing the exact same title to arrive on the service at roughly the same time. But that happened in late 2023: One movie called Leo arrived on the service on Nov. 21, followed by another movie called Leo just a week later.

The end of the year is looming, but TV isn’t slowing down a bit. This week we have all sorts of offerings to pad out the doldrums of this long dark we’re in (curse you, daylight savings time). If you’re looking for something more exciting, there’s Culprits, a heist murder mystery, or Blood Coast, a new crime thriller from Netflix. Or maybe you prefer the cozier comforts of Mr. Monk’s Last Case — the TV movie that, if the title is to be believed, will be the final farewell for the beloved Tony Shalhoub character.

Just a day away from getting our first look at Grand Theft Auto 6, a leak has surfaced that claims to show footage from the upcoming game. As per GTABase.com on Twitter, TikTok account ‘azzarossi' posted a video showing a quick panoramic view and scale of the alleged location GTA 6 is based in — a fictionalised version of Miami aka Vice City. The video also shows a Pißwasser billboard, an in-game beer brand that's been ever-present in GTA games. While the account has since gone private, there is no way to verify whether the footage is real. The important landmarks, however, match with the massive data leak from last year, which exposed over 90 in-development clips into the wild.

After nearly two years of anticipation and rumors, Rockstar Games has finally delivered what can be the biggest news in gaming this year. The trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6, also known as GTA 6, finally has a release date. This means for the first time since the leaks came out in 2022, we will get to see what the next edition of GTA will be all about. In the leaks, we got some insight into the game development and some new things Rockstar was trying out, but it has been a long time since then, and we believe a lot has changed.

Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer release date is finally upon us, as confirmed by Rockstar Games via a tweet. The first footage from the highly-anticipated crime odyssey sequel will be out on Tuesday, December 5, at 7:30pm IST in India/ 9am ET in the US, with the publisher only posting an image of a sunset and palm tree silhouettes — confirming previous claims that it's set in a fictionalised version of Miami, which franchise veterans might recognise as a return to Vice City. With that, it is clear that Geoff Keighley won't be presenting the trailer at The Game Awards 2023, though a teaser or some screenshot drops are always possible.
