The FBI is investigating a hacker allegedly behind the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks.
As reported by Eurogamer, the hacker may have had a role in more than just the Rockstar Games security breach, which resulted in 90 video clips of GTA 6 in its early build being leaked onto GTAForums on Saturday night, along with the source codes for GTA 5 and GTA 6. The individual may have been behind a recent attack on Uber as well. The ride-share company shared a blog post confirming the dual cyberattacks, saying it is working with the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice on the matter — at least on its end.
“There are also reports over the weekend that this same actor breached video game maker Rockstar Games,” Uber said. “We are in close coordination with the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice on this matter and will continue to support their efforts.”
Uber said it believes that the hacker is part of LAPSUS$, a global hacking group that has targeted other major tech companies since December 2021, including Microsoft and Nvidia. Earlier this spring, a 16-year-old from Oxford was accused of being one of the group’s leaders, according to the BBC.
Rockstar tweeted a statement Monday morning confirming it was breached over the weekend and that the 90 development videos that were leaked are legitimate, saying that it was “disappointed” that details about GTA 6 were shared in an unauthorized manner. The company added that the breach won’t have any long-term effects on the game’s development and that it looks forward to properly, officially introducing the game when it’s ready for release.
Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.
Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
