The impact of the giant GTA 6 leak: PC Gamer reacts

In the two decades plus I've covered gaming, I'm not sure I can recall a leak more startling than this weekend's dump of 90 videos from a test build of GTA 6. You could make a case for the Half-Life 2 source code leak in 2003, which Valve considered damaging to the tune of $250 million, but I'm not sure much else comes close. In that instance the affect on morale at Valve (though ultimately not the game's critical or commercial reception) was well-documented, so we can imagine how aggrieved Rockstar's developers must be feeling at seeing their unvarnished work stolen and shared...

Warzone 2 leak claims new map's city POI will feel like GTA

Ahead of the upcoming Call of Duty Next showcase which will update fans on the future of the franchise, a fresh batch of Warzone 2 leaks have hit social media, this time via a popular Warzone YouTuber and streamer.

Taking to Twitter, 'Metaphor' dumps a whole load of information on Warzone 2 based on gameplay he has reportedly seen. A lot of this lines up with previously leaked information, but some of it we're hearing about for the first time.

One of the most interesting Warzone 2 leaks being reported by Metaphor is that Warzone's iconic gas storm that closes in around players in the battle royale is being swapped for a dust storm. This could signal the end of gas masks, although a new piece of equipment serving the same, storm-protecting purpose could certainly be introduced in Warzone 2.

Warzone and GTA V look tiny compared to huge NBA 2K23 file size

For a long while, Call of Duty games like Warzone were the butt of any joke around console storage space and file sizes. The battle royale, before going on a file size-shrinking diet, would commandeer a huge chunk of your internal storage, as do the likes of Black Ops Cold War and . But with the imminent release of NBA 2K23, Xbox players may have a new game to poke fun at when it comes to hogging storage space.

As first spotted by MP1st, the ability to pre-install NBA 2K23 on Xbox Series X|S has shown just how chunky this year's iteration of the basketball game is going to be. The NBA 2K23 file size weighs in at 152 GB, making it one of the biggest games on the platform right now.

This dwarfs plenty of titles that would be perceived to have rather hefty file sizes. According to listings on the Xbox Store, the now slimmed-down Warzone has a file size of 95 GB, GTA V is 96 GB, Assassin's Creed Valhalla comes in at 112 GB, and Forza Horizon 5 will take up 119 GB of your storage space. It's even bigger than the massive survival game ARK: Survival Evolved, which has a file size of just under 150 GB.

GTA5's best graphics mod is now available for free download

Most 'realistic graphics' mods make games look worse, but that's not the case with NaturalVision Evolved. The long-in-development Grand Theft Auto 5 mod is a comprehensive revamp of lighting, textures, models and much more, but it remains faithful to the art direction of the base game.

You can now download a Single Player Beta of the mod - and even if you don't plan on doing that, it's worth watching the trailer below.

The next GTA was announced in February, when Rockstar said that development of the unnamed game (which we're calling GTA 6 for now) is "well underway." Rockstar parent Take-Two said exactly the same thing today—development is still "well underway"—and added that the game is going to be really good, too...
