<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.

The year 2022 saw several large-scale data breaches affecting millions of users. In addition to affecting user data, a few breaches have impacted sensitive company data. From popular password manager LastPass to microblogging platform Twitter, several companies have been affected by data breaches in 2022. In this post, we look at some of the top data breaches of 2022. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Top data breaches of 2022" comment="subhead" text="Top data breaches of 2022">Top data breaches of 2022</cmsannotation> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Red Cross" comment="subhead2" text="Red Cross">Red Cross</cmsannotation> In one of the first data breaches of 2022, malicious actors gained access to important files of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The first trailer for "Grand Theft Auto VI" finally arrived on Monday — but Elon Musk isn't a fan. </li><li>He said he didn't finish GTA 5 as he couldn't bring himself to shoot virtual police officers.</li></ul>The internet is on fire after the first trailer for "Grand Theft Auto VI" finally dropped — but Elon Musk is unlikely to be picking up a copy when the game comes out in 2025.The Tesla boss and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/did-elon-musk-buy-twitter-acquisition-details">X owner</a> said he was unable to finish the worldwide smash hit GTA 5, which has sold 190 million copies since 2015, because he "didn't like doing crime.""Tried, but didn't like doing crime," Musk <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk">wrote in a post on X</a>."GTA5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn't do it," he said.The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gta-6-leaks-may-have-come-from-rockstar-employees-kid-2023-12">trailer for GTA 6</a> was released on Monday, a day earlier than planned, after it was leaked on social media.It's the latest installment in Rockstar's phenomenally successful <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gta-5-violence-is-art-says-take-two-boss-2014-11">GTA series</a>, which is known for its extreme violence and plot lines centered on organized crime. The much-anticipated game, which is set in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/4/23988446/gta-vi-trailer-leaked-vice-city">a fictionalized version of Miami named Vice City</a>, is set to be released in 2025.Musk's apparent reluctance to partake in fictionalized violence is in contrast to his recent X-rated behavior, with the SpaceX boss telling advertisers who had fled X to "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tells-advertises-get-lost-twitter-dealbook-summit2023-11">go fuck yourself</a>" in an interview at the New York Times' DealBook conference.Musk was responding to a growing exodus of advertisers from the platform following his endorsement of an antisemitic post as the "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-asana-cofounder-elon-musk-should-resign-endorsing-antisemitic-tweet-2023-11">actual truth</a>" — something he admitted during the Dealbook interview was the most "foolish" thing he had ever posted on the site.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Rockstar Games is mandating a return to the office for its employees from April, Bloomberg reported.</li><li>It comes ahead of the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI" next year.</li></ul>Rockstar Games just issued a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/return-to-office-mandates-employees-managers-fight-messy-remote-work-2023-11">return-to-office ultimatum</a>, a move it hopes will drive productivity and curb leaks ahead of one of the biggest gaming launches in over a decade.The developer behind the "Grand Theft Auto" games has asked employees to return to the office five days a week starting in April, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-28/-grand-theft-auto-maker-tells-staff-to-return-to-office-five-days-a-week?leadSource=uverify%20wall">Bloomberg reported</a>, as it enters the final stages of development for the franchise's next installment, "Grand Theft Auto VI."Like many companies issuing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/forcing-workers-back-office-risks-talent-exodus-dell-amazon-2024-2">RTO mandates</a>, Bloomberg said, Rockstar's head of publishing, Jenn Kolbe, cited "productivity" in an email to staff as one reason for the move to bring workers back ahead of the release of one of the most anticipated games ever.She didn't stop there, though: Employees were told "security" was a factor, too. <h2>IP and sales worth billions on the line</h2>Security has always been a huge priority at Rockstar.The company — which sold more than 195 million units of "Grand Theft Auto V" and has raked in about $8 billion since its release in 2013 — is secretive and asks employees to sign some of the strictest nondisclosure agreements in the industry to protect its intellectual property.For instance, Ned Luke, a voice actor for one of the main characters in the previous game, once said <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GTA6/comments/155dqs2/rockstar_nda_strictness/?rdt=56400">he thought</a> he'd get fired from GTA V after his involvement was outed by a friend ahead of schedule. His work on the game had been kept secret up to that point.But in the run-up to the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/grand-theft-auto-6-netflix-games-streaming-2024-2">Rockstar</a>, which adopted remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, has had several security issues to contend with.A major issue came in September 2022 after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gta-6-leaker-rockstar-games-with-tv-phone-amazon-firestick-2023-12">a hacker published early footage of the game</a>. The company blamed a "network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded confidential information.""We are extremely disappointed to have any details of our next game shared with you all in this way," Rockstar said on X, then Twitter, at the time.The company faced another breach after its first official trailer for the game was leaked in December. That leak was suspected to come <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ign.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-leaks-may-have-just-come-from-a-rockstar-employees-son">from a Rockstar developer's son</a>, GTA Base said, adding that it appeared this person dumped on TikTok what he'd got hold of.Clearly, Rockstar has reason to feel angsty about employees being out of sight ahead of a release that will be 12 years in the making next year, when it's set to launch.It makes any mitigation tougher.RTO mandates have been met with fierce opposition from employees who feel they have been pushed back into the office over vague concepts such as productivity, collaboration, and boosting performance.Research published last month, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/return-to-office-mandates-remote-work-stock-returns-productivity-2024-1">based on analysis of RTO data from 137 S&amp;P 500 firms</a>, gave weight to the arguments of workers critical of RTO mandates after finding the policies made little to no difference to their stated goals.The gaming industry has proved remote work is productive and practical, with games like "Spider-Man 2" being made from home, Bloomberg's Jason Schreier previously said.Rockstar staffers will likely point to this as a reason not to drag them back into the office.The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain said Rockstar's decision came a year after 170 Rockstar workers signed a petition "opposing mandatory 3-day office work."Rockstar workers represented by the union accused the developer of "broken promises" and said they had concerns around a "heightened risk of overwork," <a target="_blank" href="https://kotaku.com/inside-rockstar-games-culture-of-crunch-1829936466">which the company has been accused of in the past</a>.One anonymous worker quoted in a statement from the union said that working from home had "been a lifeline" that allowed staff to balance care responsibilities, manage disabilities, and relocate as they needed.Whether Rockstar decides to soften its stance remains to be seen.

The last version of the game — GTA V — was initially released in 2013.The leaked clips show unfinished aspects of the game. One video depicts a playable female character robbing a restaurant while another shows the game may be set in "Vice City Metro" – a fictional version of Miami.In the forum thread, users questioned the validity of the leak and asked "teapotuberhacker" to post more proof of access to the stolen files.Bloomberg reporter <a href="https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1571489679534608384?s=20&amp;t=sLTSfFdY9tTVcNyyfeRYMg">Jason Schreier tweeted</a> to confirm that the leak was real, according to his sources at Rockstar.The leaked videos are being widely circulated on social media although some have been flagged for copyright violations on Youtube, according to the report from The Verge.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Take-Two Interactive shares fell 1% at Tuesday's opening bell.</li><li>The stock slipped despite the long-awaited release of the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI.</li></ul><a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/ttwo-stock">Take-Two Interactive</a>'s stock price tumbled Tuesday after the first trailer for "<a href="https://twitter.com/RockstarGames/status/1731813331244085531" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grand Theft Auto VI</a>" revealed that the hotly-anticipated title won't be released until 2025.Shares in the video-game publisher were down 1% shortly after the opening bell, having tumbled as much as 7% in premarket trading.The losses came after Take-Two subsidiary Rockstar Games published a trailer for GTA VI on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdBZY2fkU-0&amp;t=1s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a> late Monday. The company had originally planned to put the clip out early Tuesday but brought forward its release after a <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/4/23988446/gta-vi-trailer-leaked-vice-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leak on X</a>, formerly known as Twitter.The final seconds of Rockstar's video reveal that the game is "coming 2025", in what's been perceived as a blow to both fans and Take-Two shareholders.Previous title "Grand Theft Auto V" is one of the highest-selling video games of all time, having shipped around 190 million copies worldwide and netted Take-Two roughly $8 billion worth of revenue. The 2025 release date means GTA VI will have <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/take-two-stock-price-grand-theft-auto-6-2024-release-2023-5">little-to-no impact</a> on the publisher's earnings next year.Deutsche Bank analysts maintained a "buy" rating on the stock in a research note published Tuesday, but noted that the "first official peek into the game's launch window: 'coming 2025'" was one of the key details revealed in the trailer.Rockstar's 90-second video also confirmed that the game will take place in Vice City, the Grand Theft Auto universe's equivalent of Miami, and feature both a male and a female protagonist, as previously reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-27/gta-6-release-date-rockstar-cleans-up-image-after-employee-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg News' Jason Schreier</a>.Before Tuesday, Take-Two shares were up 51% year-to-date, benefiting from a generally-favorable environment for <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/tech-stocks-tesla-nvidia-apple-microsoft-amazon-the-magnificent-seven-2023-6?_gl=1*1begd9r*_ga*MTg1NTcwOTk2MS4xNjg1NzE2MDQ0*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY4ODExNDYyNS40Ny4xLjE2ODgxMTU0ODYuMjEuMC4w">tech stocks</a> as well as continued speculation about when GTA VI will be released.

The pocket-sized device can <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-device-tech-replace-rabbit-r1-sold-out-2024-1">perform tasks on users' apps via voice controls</a>. In January, its first batch of units — 10,000 devices priced at $199 a pop — sold out in just 24 hours.According to AI-gadget evangelists like Khosla, these devices will flip the script on human-computer interactions. Instead of figuring out how to work the newest app or tool, the AI will learn how to navigate around you.<div type="image" title="Rabbit R1" height="2880" width="2880" msid="108145961" hostid="261" sizebytes="70898"></div>Still, there are reasons to be skeptical about AI devices.Humane's Ai Pin, which can project text onto users' hands and translate voice messages, didn't get a warm welcome <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-pin-humane-draws-skepticism-tech-iphone-replacement-2023-11">when it launched late last year</a>.The hardware business is difficult, especially since the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/saas">SaaS-ification</a> of the world means investors often prefer companies with recurring revenue streams, rather than ones that rely on one-off sales.But the biggest criticism is much more straightforward:Why do I need an AI gadget when I already have a very powerful device in my pocket at all times?That was the perspective of one developer I texted, who said there wasn't much interest in the trend in their network. They also pointed to rumors that hardware giant Apple is set to make big announcements about AI, which CEO Tim Cook <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/28/apple-annual-shareholder-meeting-2024-ai-investments.html">hinted at during the company's annual shareholder meeting</a>.In the meantime, though, some of tech's biggest names clearly believe AI gadgets are the future. Salesforce's Marc Benioff and OpenAI's Sam Altman are both backers of Humane, while Khosla Ventures invested in Rabbit.<h2>3 things in markets</h2><div type="image" title="Paul Krugman" height="650" width="1300" msid="108145963" hostid="261" sizebytes="52608"></div><ol><li>Don't trust the "vibecession."

We expect to sustain this momentum with additional growth in operating performance in fiscal 2026," Take-Two chairman and <a href="https://ir.take2games.com/static-files/01f23e17-3371-4b67-9871-db638c5354e2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CEO Strauss Zelnick said.</a>Take-Two's fiscal 2024 year is in calendar-year 2023, while its fiscal 2025 year is in calendar-year 2024. "For fiscal 2025, Take-Two expects to launch 'several groundbreaking' games that will drive net bookings to over $8b, with the at least $2.5b incremental over fiscal 2024 implying a GTA VI release in our view," JPMorgan said in a Thursday note.Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto series <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/grand-theft-auto-5-sales-2018-2019-1">has been wildly successful, with the 2013 release of Grand Theft Auto 5</a> driving lifetime unit sales of 180 million. That makes it the second best selling video game of all time, behind Minecraft. Investors got a taste of what Grand Theft Auto 6 could look like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gta-6-leak-videos-confirmed-real-rockstar-games-hacked-2022-9">after a massive data leak in September 2022 led to gameplay videos</a> being posted online. "Take-Two delivered in the quarter on the points investors were most looking for, namely a view beyond the fiscal 2024 pipeline, and improvement at Zynga. The fiscal 2025 guidance along with anticipation for actual game announcements we think helps create a floor for the stock at current levels, and we expect upside can come from greater visibility into the cadence of out-year releases," JPMorgan said, which rates the stock at "Overweight" with a $148 price target.<div type="image" title="TTWO Stock" height="633" width="748" msid="100335155" hostid="261" sizebytes="18446"></div>
