Grand Theft Auto 6 has yet to be announced, but last year, we managed to get a glimpse at the sixth main entry in the series by Rockstar Games thanks to some leaked videos. While there's been nothing since, official or otherwise, some dedicated fans have provided something new on the highly anticipated game this week.

“Step into my office,” says Joanna Fang. OK, but to the untrained eye it's a kleptomaniac's hoard: rolls of Astroturf, mud and moss, wooden planks, violin bows, smashed keyboards, plastic boxes brimming with shoes, a full armory of axes and swords, a sand pit, a bamboo fence, rocks, half a bike, smashed iPhones, a boat's anchor chain, a grimy car door. “Never trust a clean foley stage,” she says.

Redeeming trade codes to acquire specific Pokémon has always been a practice that many players indulge in while playing any of the mainstream Pokémon games, and this is also the case with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Fortunately, we already have a plethora of codes available for the recently released Generation IX games that players can utilize.

Qualcomm was earlier said to be running into undisclosed problems with the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4, which is allegedly the company’s first SoC to ship with custom Oryon cores that were made possible with the Nuvia acquisition. There appears to be progress with the chipset in terms of performance, with a rumor claiming that it is slightly better than the Apple M2. However, its estimated launch timeline may take away the advantage, especially with the M3 unveiling right around the corner.

Lyft is adding a Women+ Connect option, which aims to match female and nonbinary drivers with more women and nonbinary riders.

With Lies of P releasing next week, NEOWIZ has ramped up the release of trailers. It revealed gameplay for different weapons and Weapon Arms and showcased some new areas. The newest trailer takes a different approach, delving into the game’s lore. Check it out below.

It is a terrible day for Apple and Qualcomm, as both companies lost significantly in share price and market value following news that China banned the use of iPhones among government employees. While the San Diego chipset maker was effected by the ban, its share price down was also due to a report doing the rounds that Huawei will exclusively switch to Kirin SoCs in 2024, leading to up a loss of 60 million silicon orders for Qualcomm, translating into revenue that is reduced by the billions.

The U.S. sanctions may have forced Huawei into a corner as far as its smartphone business is concerned, but the Chinese firm has remained relentless and managed to circumvent those trade limitations with the Kirin 9000S, its first custom SoC that materialized after a brief hiatus and is found in the newly released Mate 60 Pro 5G.

Former chairman of PlayStation Studios Shawn Layden has Thoughts and somewhat dire warnings about the videogame industry's future, though what exactly he means by "the videogame industry" is a little open to guesswork.

It’s been a strong year for comics so far in 2023, albeit not always from the usual players. If the Big Two of Marvel and DC sometimes seem to be stuck in a holding pattern for their next Big Event Series, the graphic novel baton has been more than capably picked up by any number of players from across the medium: from graphic novelists like Deena Mohamed to bonkers “dudes rock” cartoonists like Daniel Warren Johnson and beyond.

Marvel has reportedly shifted the dates for Agatha: Darkhold Diaries, Echo, What If...?'s second season, X-Men '97, and more amid the ongoing strikes and changes to Disney+'s strategy.

Fans have long argued that wrestling games peaked in the N64 era with titles like WWF No Mercy, but no modern developer has managed to properly capitalize on that nostalgia. An upcoming indie game called Ultra Pro Wrestling might be set to change that.
