<ul><li><keyword id="19912295" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="GTA-VI" source="keywords">GTA VI</keyword> is launching in Fall of 2025</li><li>Rumours about the game have often surfaced online</li><li>GTA VI has two new protagonists</li></ul> Since December last year, when the first trailer of GTA VI dropped, gamers across the world have been awaiting the launch of the game. Every now and then, we keep hearing rumours about the upcoming title. A couple of days back, it was being reported that <keyword id="21697329" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gta-vi-release" source="Orion">GTA VI release</keyword> might be delayed till 2026 and gamers were quite disappointed. However, providing some relief, Rockstar has confirmed that the game launch is well on track, for now at least. On Wednesday last week, during a shareholders meeting, <keyword id="19913260" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rockstar-Games" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Rockstar Games" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Rockstar Games">Rockstar Games</keyword> parent <keyword id="20449993" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Take-Two-Interactive" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Take-Two Interactive" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Take-Two Interactive">Take-Two Interactive</keyword> said that they plan on releasing GTA VI "in the Fall of calendar 2025." Hence, the game might release within the expected timeline. Now that the game is expected to launch on time, here's a deep dive into everything we know so far about GTA VI. <h2>1. GTA VI will see a return to <keyword id="20449992" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vice-City" source="keywords">Vice City</keyword></h2> One of the most exciting revelations about GTA VI is its return to Vice City setting. Fans of the series will remember Vice City as the neon-drenched playground from the 2002 game, which was a vibrant homage to 1980s Miami. However, this time around, the city is part of a much larger world. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113512150" title="Sony unveils PS5 and PS5 Pro's retro look on PlayStation’s 30th anniversary and gamers can’t keep calm" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> The game is set in a modern-day version of Vice City, within the fictional state of Leonida. From the trailer released at the end of 2023, we saw glimpses of the familiar yet upgraded environments, with Starfish Island and other iconic locations making a return. But the map isn't limited to Vice City alone. Rockstar has promised the "biggest, most immersive evolution of Grand Theft Auto yet." This means we can expect vast rural areas, beaches, and cities beyond Vice City, possibly inspired by other parts of Florida, packed with intricate details and dynamic environments. <h2> 2. GTA VI will see Two new protagonists</h2> GTA VI introduces us to a pair of new protagonists—Jason and Lucia. This is the first time in GTA's history that a female protagonist will take center stage, as Lucia plays a prominent role in the narrative. In the trailer, Lucia is seen wearing prison clothing, hinting at her troubled past and possible run-ins with the law. The relationship between Jason and Lucia appears to draw inspiration from classic "Bonnie and Clyde" dynamics. The trailer shows the duo engaging in criminal activities together, suggesting a strong bond built on trust and shared adventures. This focus on dual protagonists may hint at more dynamic storylines, with players possibly switching between characters, similar to the multiple protagonist mechanic in GTA V. <h2> 3. GTA VI rumours: Enterable buildings, minigames and more</h2> As with any new Grand Theft Auto game, fans expect a plethora of new features, and GTA VI seems set to deliver. Leaks had earlier suggested that the map will be filled with numerous enterable buildings, offering players more opportunities for exploration and interaction. This could range from stores and homes to businesses, making the world feel more lived-in than ever before. One rumour that has fans particularly excited is the potential return of the basketball minigame. This feature, which was last seen in GTA: San Andreas (2004), would allow players to shoot hoops in various courts scattered around the city. A leaker, @LegacyKillaHD, shared that the basketball minigame was in development at Rockstar's Toronto studio but was nearly cut from the final product. While its inclusion remains uncertain, the potential return of such an interactive minigame hints at Rockstar’s continued focus on building a richly detailed world. In addition to the minigames, Rockstar seems to be doubling down on the "usual insanity" fans have come to expect in the mission design. There are reports of some missions being inspired by the Fast &amp; Furious franchise, which suggests we could see high-octane car chases, death-defying stunts, and explosive set pieces. <h2> 4. GTA VI availability on PC</h2> Unlike previous entries, GTA VI is said to be exclusive to next-generation consoles. It’s confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no current plans to release on older systems like the PS4 or Xbox One. This decision aligns with Rockstar’s ambition to push the boundaries of technology and create an experience that can only be achieved on more powerful hardware. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113314224" title="Asus Vivobook S15 (2024) review: Sleek design, power-packed battery performance, best for light, office use" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> PC gamers, however, may have to wait a little longer. While there’s no official confirmation yet, many expect GTA VI to follow a similar path as GTA V, with a delayed PC release sometime after the console launch. Speculation suggests that the PC version could arrive in 2026, giving Rockstar more time to fine-tune the game for different platforms. <h2>5. Expectations from the second GTA VI trailer </h2> As fans eagerly await the next glimpse of GTA VI, rumours have started circulating about a second trailer. This new trailer is expected to drop in November this year. While the first trailer gave us a taste of the game’s setting and characters, the second one will likely delve deeper into gameplay mechanics, story elements, and possibly more locations. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113575747" title="Black Myth: WuKong performance review — Here is how the game runs on Alienware X16 R2 with Nvidia RTX 4090" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> If previous Rockstar reveals are anything to go by, we can expect the second trailer to showcase the vast open world, the character-driven narrative, and the impressive technological advancements that have been made in the last decade.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A physical dogecoin token is due to take a trip to the moon aboard Astrobotic's Peregrine Mission One.</li><li>The lunar lander will be launched by a ULA rocket scheduled to take off next month. </li></ul>The latest move for dogecoin? Going lunar.Next month, Pittsburgh-based space robotics company Astrobotic is planning to send a physical DOGE token to the moon. Literally.Funded in part by dogecoins, the token will travel aboard Astrobotic's Peregrine Mission One lunar lander, which will carry payloads from governments, companies, universities, and NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative.Also among the cargoes is the DHL Moonbox, which is a box of mementos that will contain the physical dogecoin as well. The mission is due to take off on December 23 aboard United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur Rocket.While plans of the mission had <a href="https://twitter.com/astrobotic/status/1716907566176088121">been in the works</a>, the dogecoin community confirmed the update on Thursday through a post on X. Dogecoin surged as much as 12% following the update, but the hype has more or less fizzled out — the memecoin is currently trading at $0.08, up 4.51% for the day.In addition to the physical dogecoin, the DHL Moonbox will also carry a <a href="https://blog.bitmex.com/bitcoin-bitmex-moon/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=bitmex&amp;utm_term=246e215c-633d-4577-9081-1cab95f7771f">physical bitcoin</a> to the moon."Astrobotic is truly opening the door to the next phase of space science, exploration, and commerce on the Moon," an informational <a href="https://www.astrobotic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Launch_Info_Packet_5.8-1.pdf">packet</a> published by the company said.The moon has attracted other dogecoin-related endeavors as well. In 2021, Elon Musk announced that SpaceX was going to launch a Doge-1 satellite to the moon, fully funded by dogecoins.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Some expat Indians are moving back home to launch companies of their own.</li><li>India's booming market size, internet growth, and post-pandemic spending is driving their decision.</li></ul>Nithin Hassan, 41, has always been fascinated with building something of his own.As a child in India, he would get in trouble for dismantling electronics around the house just so he could peek inside.In college, in true <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/startups-to-bet-your-career-on-in-2024-2024-2">startup</a> fashion, he started working on a small business out of his parent's garage in Bengaluru, assembling computers for friends and family.It was the early 2000s and the internet was not the trove of knowledge it is today — Hassan was relying on books to learn. Finding mentorship and the right guidance was a challenge, too.Everyone around Hassan told him that going to the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/resume-tips-google-software-engineer-skills-experience-careers-software-tech-2024-3">US for a master's degree</a> was the next big opportunity. So he did.Over the next 16 years, he put his startup plans on hold and worked at some of the world's biggest companies, including Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta.<div type="image" title="Nithin Hassan" height="2450" width="3266" msid="113831978" hostid="261" sizebytes="215682"></div>But the pandemic felt like a turning point. And its aftermath made India look like a lab-designed business environment: It had just become the world's most populous country, the pandemic had created <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/indicators/private-consumption-continues-to-be-supported-by-pent-up-demand-finance-ministry/articleshow/99069973.cms?from=mdr">pent-up demand</a> for consumer products, and growing internet adoption made commerce more scalable, he said.So Hassan left behind about $500,000 in annual pay at Meta to move back to Bengaluru in December 2023 with his wife and two children. He has since launched two startups.Hassan is part of a group of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/i-moved-back-to-india-after-living-abroad-for-decade-2024-9">expat Indians moving back</a> home to venture out on their own. As such, he's also part of a decades-long trend of reverse migration back to India.The trend began in the 1990s and picked up at the turn of the century, driven by the economic collapse in 2008, said Binod Khadria, the president of Global Research Forum on Diaspora and Transnationalism. Many of those who returned to India for work were largely working for multinational companies.Today, the impetus for the move often looks a bit different: It's driven by factors like unstable visa policies and economic recessions, which lead to uncertainty when it comes to jobs and duration of stay in these destinations.Many returnees find work in tech, but the finance, retail, and climate sectors also absorb a large number of expat Indians, Khadia said. And some of the returnees are heading back to India to start companies of their own.India is undergoing a startup explosion. The country reported over<a target="_blank" href="https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=2043805"> 140,800 recognized startups</a> at the end of June — nearly 50,000 more than last year — and credited them with creating 1.6 million direct jobs.To be sure, not all of these companies will make it big — and some do still stumble, like <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://inc42.com/features/what-are-the-current-problems-being-faced-by-oyo/">Oyo </a>and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/blackrock-hsbc-funds-byjus-startup-valuation-zero-edtech-india-raveendran-2024-6">Byju's</a>. But the chaos, where even established startups are trying and failing, makes India a fair playing field for new entrants, Hassan said.Business Insider spoke to six <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-vc-wants-see-5-traits-new-founders-fundraising-antler-2024-8">first-time founders </a>about why they have recently returned to India after spending several years, or even an adult life, abroad.<h2 id="0e4a3c47-ba19-4690-8b52-c6bfece1c81d">Fastest-growing economy</h2>The health of the economy and interest from investors are fueling the entrepreneurship boom.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-billionaire-karan-adani-plans-challenge-china-dominance-seaports-2024-8">India's economic growth</a> in 2023 — 8.2% — was the fastest of all large economies worldwide. That's led to greater purchasing power, which lets companies, including startups, sell more.India's inflation rate of about 3.5% is well below its annual wage growth of 9.6%. This makes inflation less of a challenge than it is for slower-growing peers, where consumer-focused businesses have been <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/economy-jobs-report-sentiment-consumers-elections-recession-inflation-mortgage-rates-2024-9">hurt by high prices</a>.Investors are getting in on the action.From 2015 to 2021, the number of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sequoia-capital-vc-firm-split-china-india-2023-6">unique investors in India</a> nearly quadrupled, though the number is tracking much lower this year, per PitchBook."Other than a slight downturn in 2022 and 2023 due to global macroeconomic factors, VC funding has been consistently growing in India," said Ben Mathias, a managing partner at Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia &amp; India.Besides funding, domestic developments have encouraged founders and VCs too, Mathias said.The Indian government's Universal Payment Interface system has spurred consumers and businesses to pay online, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bcg.com/press/2june2022-digital-payments-in-india-projected-to-reach-10-trillion-by-2026">40% of all digital payments</a> globally happen in India today, the partner said.Programs like Startup India, which provides founders benefits like tax exemption, easier compliance, and funding support, have made creating a company smoother.Devyani Parameshwar worked in the microfinance and fintech space in India in the 2010s before heading to the UK and Africa. She returned to India in 2022 to launch a financial management venture."It's changed dramatically. I remember standing in line at various ministries in Delhi trying to get meetings and then trying to get answers and it wasn't easy in the past," she said of her memories of India.Now, she can use an online platform to ask the country's central bank and banking regulator questions.It's easier than ever for foreign companies to invest in India, which means startups have a clearer exit path through acquisition — something VCs think hard about before entering new markets or writing checks.<h2 id="e5dd7b6f-a09f-4ff2-84c1-5907de96dc5e">Market ripe for the taking</h2>For Rohan Bhide, who spent most of his college and professional life <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/worked-in-big-tech-before-launching-my-own-startup-engineer-2024-9">preparing to launch something of his own</a>, a trip home in 2017 while he was studying in the US was a turning point.Indian telecom giant Reliance had recently launched a cheap unlimited data plan, which spiked Indian internet adoption. India was charting among the countries with the highest online transactions."That really, really drew my attention," said Bhide, who worked at Meta after graduation. "It was my dream come true — a huge market, a huge user base, and at the same time, the ability to adopt technology was incredible."Bhide returned to India in January, leaving behind about $580,000 in total compensation at ticketing platform StubHub. He and a cofounder are working on launching a consumer tech product later this year.<div type="image" title="Rohan Bhide" height="2304" width="3072" msid="113831979" hostid="261" sizebytes="218468"></div>Most Indians grew up wanting to work at a multinational company — but that's changing, Bhide said.Freelancing, running your own business, or working for a startup is much more socially acceptable now, because people see the success of other Indian startups. The country has the third-largest number of "unicorns" — companies worth $1 billion or more — with 64, per PitchBook.<h2 id="7f423804-745b-4e04-a250-839e01663f09">Boom in entrepreneurship culture</h2>A lot has changed since Hassan first wanted to launch his hardware startup in the early 2000s.Tech hot spots like Bengaluru and Gurugram have seen a boom in entrepreneurship culture in the last few years, with meet-ups, networking mixers, and even morning walks with like-minded builders.<div type="image" title="man standing in front of mountains in USA" height="2268" width="3024" msid="113831980" hostid="261" sizebytes="141132"></div>Dhruv Anand, who left Google in the US to move back to India in 2021 to launch an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-startups-most-promising-2024-9">AI startup</a>, said that there were lots of other founders and mentors to help guide him."If you want to figure out who's the right chartered accountant to talk to, who's the right lawyer to help you draft agreements, all of that stuff is very easy," Anand said."It's been a really, really supportive community," Bhide said. There are people "telling you about their entire lives just because they want to help you and they're hoping that you pass the favor onto the next person who moves to India and wants to start their own company."<h2 id="3c8bff36-e855-4530-9b44-bcc7f36b0825">Not everything is perfect</h2>Although these founders made the decision to return to India, that doesn't mean they no longer see the benefits of operating in the US.Ruchit Garg founded an agriculture startup in Silicon Valley in 2016, with a focus on supporting farmers around the globe. In 2019, he returned to India, where his late grandfather worked as a farmer.Garg has been building in India ever since, but he says its startup ecosystem cannot yet compete with the Valley's decades of experience."The overall ecosystem was more mature back in Silicon Valley. It's still one of the best places for entrepreneurs. India isn't there yet, although it's growing pretty drastically," he said.Despite efforts to digitalize key processes, many bureaucratic challenges persist.For most founders, after living in US cities where populations are a fraction of those in Mumbai and Bangalore, congested roads and poorer air quality are also everyday annoyances.But India provides some big perks, including affordable domestic help and the appeal of building solutions for problems they witness firsthand."It's a different joy to be able to build for problems that you feel for very personally," Parameshwar, the fintech founder, said. When she worked in Africa, she needed translators. Now, she can speak with her users herself.Bhide said the general sentiment among local founders is shifting from "Build from India" to "Build for India."For some founders, being surrounded by family and the culture they grew up in was another selling point.Niranjan Vemulkar moved back to India in 2015 and later founded a digital legacy planning platform.He said that he never fully felt at home in the US, where he lived for over a decade."For us, it was the fact that we wanted to raise a family in an environment where the children would have access to the grandparents and Indian culture," Vemulkar said. "The fact that you could come back to India, start something of your own and figure things out in an ecosystem which was potentially booming for startups, was just a cherry on the cake."Are you in India and have a story to share about the tech and entrepreneurship landscape?
