Almost anything can happen in the untamed open world of Red Dead Redemption 2, including Arthur flying through the air like the God of Thunder himself thanks to a strange glitch. Just like Rockstar’s various Grand Theft Auto titles, Red Dead Redemption 2 allows players to distract themselves from the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan to engage in all kinds of entertaining side activities like hunting animals for their pelts and tracking down dangerous criminals for a hefty bounty. This in turn can open the door to wild and unexpected moments, such as one unlucky player being chased off a cliff by an angry bear.

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player online has shared a strange clip from the game, showing off a mod that gives Arthur Morgan an army of cats. The protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2 is never shown to have a particular affinity for cats, but this footage shows otherwise.

The recently reported trademark dispute between video game giant Take-Two Interactive and renowned developer Remedy Entertainment has already been resolved, the latter claimed. In addition, the studio noted that its working relationship with Take-Two Interactive remains unchanged.

One of the more amusingly bizarre news stories of the early days of 2024 arrived earlier this week when it emerged that Rockstar Games’ parent company Take-Two Interactive had filed a trademark dispute against Remedy Entertainment’s new logo, claiming that it was too similar to the GTA maker’s logo, which also prominently displays a stylized “R”.

Hyundai Motorsport posted a recreation of the iconic Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, complete with reenactments of fan-favorite scenes. For a racing and rallying car organization, there seems to be no better fit than the driving shenanigans and legendary cars of the Grand Theft Auto games, and its video feels like content ripped straight from the games themselves.

Rockstar has announced it's removing Grand Theft Auto Online's clips editor on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from 20th February this year, explaining it's making the move as it approaches the «limits of what's possible» on previous-generation consoles.

As Grand Theft Auto 6's official reveal trailer moves up the charts of the most viewed game trailers on YouTube, an unsuspecting mobile hit still claims the number one spot. Having dropped early last month, the long awaited first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 lit up the internet and finally gave fans of the franchise a glimpse at the breathtaking world of modern Vice City and its surrounding areas.

Remedy Entertainment has said there is “nothing to see” regarding the recent reveal of a trademark dispute with Take-Two Interactive.

2023 marked the first time in 15 years that a Call of Duty or Rockstar game didn’t top the annual sales chart in the United States.

Rockstar has announced that it will be shutting down the Rockstar Editor in the last-gen versions of Grand Theft Auto 5.

Take-Two Interactive has moved forward with a surprising lawsuit against Remedy.

The Grand Theft Auto franchise fans have waited years to see the next mainline installment released. Since 2013, fans have been stuck in Los Santos with Grand Theft Auto V and its online counterpart. But that will change next year. After several leaks, Rockstar Games revealed the announcement trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI last month. It was our first look at the return of Vice City. However, it’s also proving to be a trailer fans can’t stop watching. In fact, we’re finding out that it’s hit a new record.

Game maker Take-Two Interactive has filed a lawsuit against Max Payne maker Remedy Entertainment, citing copyright infringement. Take-Two claims that Remedy Entertainment’s «R» Remedy logo is too similar to Rockstar’s «R» logo.

Fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise have been waiting years to see what Rockstar Games was doing next in the upcoming installment. After the 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto V, the developers continued to support the online component. It was a big money maker for Rockstar Games as fans quickly took up with the latest title experience. However, after what felt like endlessly waiting, we were finally given the official announcement trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI last month. 

Rockstar Games is always trying to push the limits. Much like other studios, there are a series of features and new systems made for their games. But then we can also see some of these systems breach over to other IPs and even become improved upon. With fans eagerly anticipating the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, there’s a ton of feedback already just from the first trailer. We don’t have any official gameplay footage for the game right now. That’s outside of the series of leaked clips that emerged online well before Rockstar Games was ready to unveil anything regarding Grand Theft Auto VI. 

Alright, alright, they're in a disupte over the letter R as used for a logo for a video game company. As spotted by Respawn First, Remedy (they of the Alan Wake) revealed their new logo last year, a big letter R, and Take-Two (they of the owning Rockstar Games) contest it. Rockstar's logo is also a big letter R, although I think they're pretty different Rs.

Take-Two Interactive has an ongoing trademark dispute with Remedy Entertainment over its new logo, it’s been revealed.

Take Two Interactive has entered a trademark dispute with Remedy Entertainment, and says the latter's logo resembles the R* of Rockstar Games.

In April last year, Remedy Entertainment revealed a brand-new logo for itself, prominently displaying the letter “R” in stylized fashion as the developer sought to “update and redefine its visual identity”. Of course, when you think of a developer that has the letter R as its logo, you instantly think of Rockstar Games. Unsurprisingly, the GTA developer’s parent company Take-Two Interactive is keenly aware of the similarities between the two studios’ logo, and is none too pleased about them.

Ned Luke, the actor behind Grand Theft Auto 5’s bank robber-turned-criminal mentor Michael De Santa, recently spoke out against an AI program copying his voice without his knowledge or approval. AI-generated content has grown more prevalent in recent years, with computer programs capable of making images and even replicating famous voices with increasingly uncanny accuracy. This in turn has ignited plenty of controversy over the prospect of AI replacing human artists, with gaming companies like Wizards of Coast coming under fire for using it in official projects.

Ned Luke, the voice actor behind Michael De Santa in Grand Theft Auto 5, has called out a company for using his voice as the basis of an unofficial AI chatbot.

Faheem Rashad Najm, aka T-Pain, is working on GTA 6 with Rockstar.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was officially unveiled last month, but with the open world behemoth still at least a year away from launch (probably more), there’s still plenty yet that we don’t know about it. When Rockstar Games will choose to begin revealing further information on the game remains to be seen, but as always, some little tidbits keep finding ways of filtering through via unexpected sources.

A Red Dead Redemption 2fan found something very interesting in their childhood home. It’s an old photo that might look familiar to anyone who has played Red Dead Redemption 2.

Fans of the original Red Dead Redemption are calling for one underrated feature of the game's bounty system to return in future iterations of the series. While players can capture other bounties in Red Dead Redemption, there's undoubtedly plenty of fun to be had for players in racking up a bounty of their own, and this feature improves that.

One Red Dead Redemption 2 player online believes they may have found the highest point in the game's entire map. Red Dead Redemption 2's map is one of the most expansive and detailed in gaming, and it's interesting to see even more details uncovered.

After sharing an anecdote online, singer-songwriter T-Pain revealed that he's working on Grand Theft Auto 6 with Rockstar Games. Not much is known about his involvement with Rockstar's latest open-world project, though it means T-Pain won't be able to participate in NoPixel, a popular Grand Theft Auto 5 role-playing server.

Online roleplay in Grand Theft Auto 5 is a phenomenon all on its own. Going beyond text and roles, people execute entire jobs and services, from hitmen to repair shops, mayors and the cops, making the world of Vice City come alive in new, exciting, and hilarious ways. Even beyond this, group servers like the famous Nopixel community elevate it with lore, perpetual stories, and tight-knit shenanigans. 

Rockstar Games released a new update for Grand Theft Auto Online, kicking off the new year with a variety of free elements for GTA+ members, including a new oversize SUV. Subscribers of this monthly membership program regularly get exclusive benefits to use in GTA Online, and this new update continues to provide them with rewards to claim in-game.

The GTA 6 trailer was released on December 5 and showcased the stunning world of GTA 6. It confirmed that the game will indeed be set in Vice City, particularly in the state of Leonida. However, not much information about the storyline or the game in general was given away. But that hasn't stopped eagle-eyed GTA 6 fans from spotting tucked-away details and easter eggs in the game. In fact, there's a whole subreddit dedicated to exploring GTA 6. In a new find, GTA 6 fans have noticed a Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) easter egg in the upcoming game's trailer. Check what it is.

After years of waiting, we finally know the release timeline of GTA 6. Rockstar Games has announced that GTA 6 will be released in 2025, almost 12 years after the launch of GTA 5. The company has also revealed that it will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S systems, meaning that PC players might have to wait before getting their hands on the next Grand Theft Auto game. Even though its launch is almost two years away, GTA 6 has already started shattering records. The GTA 6 trailer amassed a staggering 93 million views in the first 24 hours, breaking the record for most views in the initial 24-hour period for a non-music video, overtaking the previous record of YouTuber Mr. Beast. The game's trailer offered an amazing first glimpse into the world of GTA 6 but it did not delve into details. However, leaks have suggested the presence of stellar elements that could make GTA 6 one of the best games of all time. Check out 5 exciting gameplay elements coming to the next Grand Theft Auto game.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was as close as we’ve got to a major new GTA release in a decade, and it was roundly criticized by players and critics upon its launch in 2021, owing to the technical state that it launched in and the less-than-ideal “improvements” it made to three bona fide classics. Even now, the remastered trilogy remains in a state where there’s plenty of room for polishing and improvements- and it seems some of those could be coming in soon, on PC at least.

Grand Theft Auto games have always had memorable protagonists. Be it GTA Vice City's Thomas "Tommy" Vercetti, GTA San Andreas' Carl "CJ" Johnson, or GTA 5's Michael, Trevor, and Franklin, all have become iconic for playing a big role in one of the most gaming franchises of all time. As such, high hopes are pinned on GTA 6, Rockstar's next big game, and the sequel to 2013's GTA 5. The first GTA 6 trailer has already premiered, giving us a glimpse into the world of GTA 6, its setting, as well as the two protagonists. Yes, there will be two playable protagonists this time around! But who are they?

A new report suggests that planned story DLC was scrapped due to internal rifts at Rockstar Games, as well as the sudden emergence and rise in popularity of GTA Online.

Grand Theft Auto 5 or GTA 5 is Rockstar Games' open-world action-adventure and is the 7th main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series. Players can carry out a number of nefarious activities such as planning heists, robbing people, and stealing cars, alongside following the main storyline. Due to its massive scale, amazing mechanics, and variety of activities, GTA 5 has become the second best-selling video game of all time, with 175 million copies shipped. In the last few years, several major updates have been rolled out, but they have all focused on GTA Online, the multiplayer mode within GTA 5. However, the recent GTA 5 source code leak has revealed that Rockstar Games initially planned as many as 8 single-player DLCs for the game! However, they were all killed off!

Hackers have reportedly leaked content from several projects, including the source code for as well as content regarding Grand Theft Auto VI and Bully 2.

Even though the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6 is almost two years away, it has already started shattering records. The GTA 6 trailer amassed a staggering 93 million views in the first 24 hours, breaking the record for most views in the initial 24-hour period for a non-music video, overtaking the previous record of YouTuber Mr. Beast. Although it did give away the game's setting as well as the protagonists, the GTA 6 trailer did not reveal much about the likely mechanics, missions, and such. However, leaks have already given us a glimpse into the world of GTA 6. Check out the top 5 GTA 6 rumours.

As 2023 comes to an end, cybercrime has become a critical issue. Insomniac Games, the famed developer of Marvel's Spider-Man and its sequel Spider-Man 2 became the latest victim of a lack recently. Nearly 1.6TB of information including developer builds of the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine, timeline of upcoming games, as well as personal data of employees were put online by hackers. While this hack was shocking, it isn't the only one suffered by a major gaming developer in recent years. Just last year, Rockstar Games was hacked and 90 early development videos of GTA 6 were leaked online. Sometime later, it was concluded that a teen was behind the hack, and now he has been sentenced to life in hospital prison.

Rockstar Games has seemingly been hit with yet another leak. Several reports have tipped that the complete source code of Grand Theft Auto 5 has been leaked. Reports have also suggested the leak includes GTA 6 codes and files from a rumoured sequel to the company's 2006 game, Bully. Notably, the hacker who helped leak GTA 6 gameplays last year was sentenced to indefinite hospital prison last week. Even the GTA 6 trailer was revealed 15 hours ahead of schedule in response to a leak that had shared the trailer online.

The hacker responsible for leaking in-development videos of Grand Theft Auto VI last year has been reportedly confined to a secure hospital — for an indefinite period. As per BBC News, an 18-year-old individual named Arion Kurtaj, who was part of the notorious cybercrime group Lapsus$, was deemed unfit to stand trial due to acute autism diagnosis. So, based on a mental assessment, the jury was asked to decide whether the heinous act was committed with criminal intent — resulting in the claim that the individual was ‘highly motivated' to return to crime. As such, he has been sentenced to life in hospital indefinitely until he's deemed as no longer dangerous to people.

Arion Kurtaj, the 18-year-old hacker responsible for the infamous Grand Theft Auto 6 leak from last year, was sentenced to indefinite custody at a “secure hospital,” according to the BBC. Kurtaj was deemed unfit to stand trial due to what BBC called “acute autism,” and will spend the rest of his life at the hospital unless doctors find him “no longer a danger.” He was found guilty on 12 charges that include fraud and blackmail.

Grand Theft Auto has come a long way. In 2025, we will receive Grand Theft Auto VI, but looking back, the overhaul to the gameplay experience came from Grand Theft Auto 3. This was a huge title at release, filled with controversy and players spending countless hours exploring the world or causing havoc. But did you ever wonder why our main protagonist, Claude, had no voice? Fortunately, one developer recently commented on why Rockstar Games felt like keeping this character silent.

James McCaffrey, best known for his voice work as Max Payne, has passed away at the age of 65.

Video game actor James McCaffrey, whose roles included the iconic voice of Max Payne and Alex Casey in this year’s Alan Wake 2, has passed away.

Early in December, Rockstar Games ended years of restless anticipation when it finally officially unveiled Grand Theft Auto 6, and though the game is still a ways off from launch, excitement surrounding it is already at a fever pitch.

Eagle-eyed fans have spotted what could be our first look at GTA 6's map in the recently released key art that features Lucia and Jason sitting on the hood of a car.

Even though its release is nearly two years away. Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6 has already started shattering records. The GTA 6 trailer went live on December 4 and it amassed a staggering 93 million views in the first 24 hours, breaking the record for most views in the initial 24-hour period for a non-music video, overtaking the previous record of YouTuber Mr. Beast. While the trailer showcased the stunning world of GTA 6 and confirmed that the game will indeed be set in Vice City, not much information about the storyline was given away. However, the 1-minute 31-second clip was enough for eagle-eyed Rockstar Games fans to spot major details about the likely prologue mission of GTA 6. Know all about it.

Former Rockstar developer Mike York has explained why GTA 6 isn't releasing on PC at launch.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has become the most-viewed new game trailer on YouTube.

Lawrence «Florida Joker» Sullivan is demanding $2 million from Rockstar Games for allegedly using his likeness in GTA 6 without consent.

If you were impressed by how good the first GTA 6 trailer looked, you were far from alone: even developers who previously worked at Rockstar were blown away by the level of detail shown.

Grand Theft Auto 6's first trailer has resulted in an M-class star's worth of reaction videos from YouTubers across the globe, but one that stands out from the army of gurning thumbnails is the response of Mike York. York is a professional animator who worked at Rockstar for 6 years, designing animations for both Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Now he runs his own YouTube channel, York Reacts, and naturally he had some things to say about GTA6's trailer.

Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6 has already started shattering records even though the game's release is still two years away. Rockstar Games published the GTA 6 trailer on December 4 and it amassed a staggering 93 million views in the first 24 hours, breaking the record for most views in the initial 24-hour period for a non-music video. It overtook the previous record of YouTuber Mr. Beast whose “Every Country on Earth Fights for $250,000” video had 59.4 million views on the day it was released. Rockstar might have anticipated this hype considering that its previous Grand Theft Auto entry, GTA 5, is the second best-selling video game of all time. However, it seems that even this astronomical popularity isn't enough to convince billionaire Elon Musk to play GTA 5.

GTA 6 is already breaking records despite being at least a year away from release.

Gaming audiences have been burned plenty of times by games that look stunning in their pre-launch trailers, but end up delivering noticeably (and, at times, severely) downgraded visuals when they actually release, which means there’s always an air of skepticism around graphically impressive trailers for upcoming games. Grand Theft Auto 6 received one such stunning trailer upon its announcement last week, and though there are some who have wondered whether the game will actually look this good, a former Rockstar developer is certain that it will.

Right now, all eyes are on the recently-released Grand Theft Auto 6, and given the fact that the game isn’t even out until 2025, that’s going to continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. Rockstar does, however, have another major, blockbuster IP in its stable in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2, and the actor who played its protagonist is sure that we’ll see a third game in the Wild West franchise at some point in the future as well.

Here’s a bit of an understatement- there’s a fair bit of excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6. The long-awaited open world behemoth was officially unveiled by Rockstar earlier this week (a day ahead of time, owing to unfortunate leaks), and within the first day, the reveal trailer had surpassed 96 million views on Rockstar’s official YouTube channel. And, unsurprisingly, that momentum has continued.

There was little doubt that the GTA VI trailer would do well in terms of viewership. Still, the debut video of Rockstar's massively anticipated new game surpassed even the rosiest expectations.

The recently-released trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was officially released following a leak, prompting developer Rockstar Games to release the trailer earlier than it had planned. Soon after the dust had settled with the trailer’s release, however, several developers from the studio have voiced their disappointment about the trailer being leaked.

In the first day since its release, the reveal trailer for the hotly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 has proven to be quite popular. At the time of publishing the trailer has now been seen more than 96 million times. The trailer, released yesterday, is the first bit of Grand Theft Auto 6 that has been shown off to the world.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is finally out! After nearly a decade of waiting, Rockstar Games has finally released the GTA 6 trailer albeit in a manner it wouldn't have liked. On November 8, the Take-Two Interactive-owned publisher announced that the GTA 6 trailer would be released in early December. And just a few days ago, Rockstar Games set the GTA 6 trailer release date as December 5, 6:00 AM PT. To the company's dismay, the trailer was leaked online before Rockstar could release it. Now, we have a proper first glimpse into the world of GTA 6 (officially called GTA VI), and it confirms what leaks have suggested before.

In just 22 hours, the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI has racked up 85 million views, breaking a MrBeast video’s record for most YouTube views in 24 hours. That ranking excludes music videos, but the hype around this long-awaited game could smash past those records too — right now, the most viewed YouTube video in 24 hours is the music video for K-Pop sensation BTS’ song “Butter,” which was viewed 108 million times in that timespan.

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss the first ever trailer for GTA 6 which was finally released following a tease from Rockstar, after the trailer leaked online ahead of schedule.

Doom scrolling social media looks to have replaced the age-old pasttime of watching TV in GTA 6, which has prompted feelings of alternating despair and increasing irrelevance in me this morning. I barely understand how TikTok works in real-life, let alone a video game pastiche of it, and oh god, how did I get so old and craggy? I'm just here for the nice-looking flamingos, Rockstar, not a 24/7 twerk stream I can access from the palm of my hand. Of course, TV watching may yet have been preserved beyond what we've seen so far in the first trailer for GTA 6, but even if it's been consigned to the bin of modern history, there might yet be one light in the TikTok-esque darkness to make GTA 6's in-game social media network worthwhile.

The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI is here, finally taking the covers off of Rockstar Games' ambitious open world title. After years of leaks, rumours and speculation, we now finally have concrete official details about GTA 6, its world, characters, and tone. The trailer itself was published hastily ahead of schedule after it was leaked on X on Tuesday. Instead of waiting and putting out the reveal Wednesday at 9am ET (7:30pm IST) — as Rockstar initially planned, the studio released the trailer early Wednesday morning. “Our trailer has leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube,” the publisher said in its post on X.

GTA 6 marks a "new vision" for developer Rockstar Games and the series at large.

According to Rockstar founder Sam Houser, GTA 6 "continues our efforts to push the limits of what's possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences". Broadcasting via Take-Two Interactive press release in the wake of yesterday's premature GTA 6 trailer release (I hope you didn't accidentally watch the cryptocurrency-branded version), Houser added that "we're thrilled to be able to share this new vision with players everywhere" when it launches in 2025. Except on PC. For the moment, anyway.

GTA 6 will release in 2025 on both Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, Rockstar has confirmed.

The wait is finally over, and perhaps a little prematurely so. Rockstar Games, the publisher of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, promised that they will release the first trailer of GTA 6 today, at 9 AM ET (7:30 PM IST). However, the trailer was leaked online a few hours ago. Once the news broke, Rockstar Games also released the game officially, much ahead of the schedule. The trailer, even when it was dropped unexpectedly, confirms many small details we have seen over the past year, such as the first female protagonist Lucia, and the Vice City setting. Additionally, the trailer also reveals the launch date, or more like the launch year of the game as well.

Rockstar has officially announced GTA VI but the official press release only mentions a 2025 launch for consoles and lacks any mention of the PC version.

GTA 6 trailer has been officially released. The trailer was initially scheduled to go live on December 5 at 9am ET (7:30pm IST). However, it was released 15 hours ahead of schedule following a leak. Grand Theft Auto 5 was introduced in September 2013. Therefore, the anticipation surrounding the GTA 6 trailer, after 10 years of the game's last release, was already soaring. The leak and thereby the preponed release of the game's trailer has sent enthusiasts into a frenzy. The launch timeline and compatible platforms for GTA 6 were also officially announced.

Grand Theft Auto 6’s official reveal trailer was set to go live on December 5 at 9 AM ET, but after it got leaked, Rockstar Games promptly released it several hours ahead of time. And now that the game has been officially announced, Rockstar’s press release accompanying the trailer has revealed another key detail regarding its launch.

Grand Theft Auto VI will launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series in 2025, Rockstar Games announced. The first trailer was also released, featuring the song “Love is a Long Road” by Tom Petty.
