Grand Theft Auto 6 is set to release some time in 2025, with developer Rockstar Games announcing the much-awaited title via a trailer late last year. The GTA 6 trailer, which has 174 million views on YouTube at the time of writing, came out December 5, showing off shiny visuals, a dense and detailed Vice City, and a Tom Petty song that has since experienced a 37,000 percent increase in its Spotify streams. But hours before Rockstar was forced to actually put out the trailer, it leaked on the Internet. Now, the CEO of Rockstar owner Take-Two has said that the leak was “disappointing.”

Fans think they've spotted a reference to a new Quake game hiding in plain sight in Microsoft's latest Developer Direct presentation.

And though it's plausible that the game could be on the board simply as an inspiration for puzzle design, that still wouldn't explain the «6» next to the letters and logo, too. Curiouser and curiouser.
Does it categorically mean MachineGames is working on one or more Quake successors? Nope. But it's unlikely the name drop was there accidentally, either. Watch this space, eh? We'll keep you posted.
Developer Direct 2024.If you missed the headlines coming out of this week's show, allow us to bring you up to speed. The news team discusses the Xbox Developer Direct 2024 on this week's Eurogamer Newscast.
The big draw was Indiana Jones and The Great Circle from Wolfenstein maker MachineGames, a blockbuster action-adventure clearly set up to be Microsoft's answer to Uncharted. But as Tom P. points out, there was also the brilliant-looking Hellblade 2, too, the eye-catching sequel from Ninja Theory we've been looking forward to for years.
