Reliable insider Nate the Hate has corroborated the rumor that Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting a next-gen upgrade, with a release planned for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S later this fall. The game has not seen any current gen console enhancements since the original release in 2018, on the PS4 and Xbox One systems. Nate the Hate confirmed the rumours during a podcast episode on his YouTube channel, revealing he originally expected Nintendo to reveal it at a Direct: “I feel it’s a game Nintendo would want to have as a headliner for the Switch 2.”…

Perhaps not surprising: no fanbase is better at digging through released trailers and footage with a set of eagle eyes like the Rockstar Games community. And with the recent release of trailer 2, it’s been no different. You may think a nearly three minute trailer and over 70 screenshots would settle us down for a bit, but no less is true. Fans have pointed out evidence suggesting Jason Duval, the recently confirmed protagonist for GTA 6, has some form of connection to the police, or may even be a police officer. Let’s break down all the evidence. Jason may be…

Before GTA 6 hits the shelves May 26, 2026, an army of dedicated fans are already walking the streets of Leonida in their head. Behind every trailer frame, every promotional screenshot lies a community of digital cartographers, tirelessly mapping out Rockstar’s fictional state, largely based on the real-life Miami, brick by brick, street by street. This community effort, coordinated largely through a discord server, has become something of a multiplayer detective game. Leading the operation is project coordinator DuPz0r, who curates the discoveries of nearly 400 dedicated community cartographers. The result is an ever evolving community map, and if DupZ0r’s…

We can’t beat around the bush here: GTA 6’s visuals as shown in the recently released trailer look absolutely mindblowing. From the small details such as Jason’s arm hair, lighting, character detail and unholy draw distances. It looks like a generational leap on top of what we got when the PS5 launched. If I didn’t know any better and you told me this was a PS6 tech-demo, I would believe you. Digital Foundry also analysed the trailer with a technical eye in an extensive breakdown, and shared some interesting details. Resolution and frame-rate Image quality first, the trailer seems to…

As expected by many, but still a letdown: Rockstar Games has officially delayed Grand Theft Auto 6. Originally planned for a Fall 2025 release, the game is now scheduled to launch on May 26, 2026. The announcement was surprisingly dry. No new screenshots, no second trailer, and no new details to keep fans busy. Since the record-breaking debut trailer in November 2023, there has been ear-deafening silence, and the lack of updates is starting to frustrate a community that has already waited more than a decade. ‘Strauss giving us nuggets of hope disappointing’ Yet community members are keeping hope, such as @SynthPotato:…

Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not made themselves popular over the last few years when it comes to the modding community. Several scandals, such as the takedown of the beloved Liberty City Preservation mod, and reports of an unhealthy working environment within the FiveM team, have spoiled the scene. Developer Hypersonic wants to provide an alternative: HELIX, a modding platform based on Unreal Engine 5, being made “by modders, for modders.” The platform positions itself as the spiritual successor to FiveM and Garry’s Mod. “We always wanted to create an open platform of our own, where we can truly create…

Grand Theft Auto V is set to make a return to Xbox Game Pass later this month, giving subscribers on console and PC another chance to experience the game at no extra cost. Additionally, the game will be supported on xCloud, meaning you can take your Los Santos adventures anywhere—whether on your phone, tablet, or even a TV without a console, as long as you have the right accessories. This marks yet another comeback for GTA V on Microsoft’s subscription service, having previously rotated in and out of the Game Pass library several times over the past few years. With its availability across multiple platforms, players will be…

Ever since I played Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time on the base PS4, I wondered what the game could look like on PC, at a smooth 60fps, higher resolution and more visual detail across the board. When I booted up the game on my PC with the RTX 3070 I couldn’t help but feel…disappointed. While the added frames were much appreciated and transformative on their own, I couldn’t help but feel something was lacking. That thing that lacked would best be described as clarity. Even on ultra settings, with TAA set to it’s max, the game frankly…

Note: Rockstar Intel will not distribute the mod in any way due to legal risks. Modding group Revolution Team has released Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nextgen Edition, despite an earlier takedown on their YouTube channel. The group, which had its original YouTube channel removed, has re-emerged with a new channel and made the mod publicly available. Initially, the project was designed to require players to own a copy of GTA IV, aiming to show respect for the developer. However, after what could be described as a ‘hostile takedown’, the team went ahead and released the mod without any restrictions. “Friends,…

On January 20th, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. Whatever your political views are, that’s probably not what you are here for. How will Trump’s policies, such as tariffs and content restrictions affect your gaming hobby? And what will it mean for your long awaited copy of GTA VI? Gaming will become much more expensive Trump shared 25% tariffs will be imposed on Mexico and Canada starting as soon as February 1st, with China in Trump’s direct crosshair. A significant portion of video game discs sold in the U.S. are produced in Mexico. With…
