Rockstar Games has confirmed that the latest Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer was captured entirely on the PlayStation 5.
In case you missed it, the studio just dropped a brand new trailer for its anticipated game, which offered an in-depth look at the game's dual protagonists, Jason and Lucia, a fresh look at Vice City, and introductions to new characters.
It looks incredible, and much to everyone's surprise, the end of the trailer stated that it was captured on the PS5. That's right, the base PS5, not the PS5 Pro!
However, there was some discussion as to whether the footage shown was purely cinematics for the simple fact that it looks too damn good, with some parts of the trailer showing what appears to be ray-traced reflections in car mirrors and water.
Well, we now have an answer, as Rockstar has since revealed that the entire trailer was comprised of gameplay and cutscenes.
"Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes," Rockstar said in a post on social media the following day.
GTA 6 was originally supposed to launch in late 2025, but Rockstar has delayed the game until May 26, 2026. According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, the studio decided to delay it by one more year to "avoid brutal crunch". Considering how good the game looks right now, there's a chance the GTA 6 will look even better on release.
The game is launching on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, but there's no word on a PC release just yet.
If you want a full breakdown, we've picked out the top five things we learned from the latest GTA 6 trailer.

The fines stem from a 2019 hacking campaign affecting over 1,400 WhatsApp users, with NSO using the Pegasus spyware to exploit an audio calling vulnerability on the mobile app.
Among those affected were high-profile individuals and public figures, such as journalists, activists and diplomats, with the Israeli cyber-intelligence firm's spyware also capable of accessing emails, texts, financial data, location data and remote camera and microphone activation.
Israel's NSO Group to pay over $167 million in damages to WhatsApp"Put simply, NSO’s Pegasus works to covertly compromise people’s phones with spyware capable of hoovering up information from any app installed on the device," Meta explained in an announcement.
Meta noted that Pegasus, when installed on an affected handset, has the capability of "hoovering up information from any app installed on the device."
Given the extent of data types Pegasus targets, Meta has also confirmed that `"WhatsApp was far from NSO’s only target."
The tech giant didn't name any other affected companies, but NSO has admitted that it spends tens of millions of dollars annually to develop malware installation methods, which can include via instant messengers, browsers and operating systems – both iOS and Android.
NSO Group claims that it sells its spyware to governments only, however there are increasing attacks on citizens suggesting that malicious actors have also been able to get their hands on the spyware – be they government affiliates or otherwise.
"Pegasus is designed to be stealthy and evade forensic analysis, avoid detection by anti-virus software, and can be deactivated and removed by operators," The Citizen Lab explained.
Even after six years, Meta has acknowledged that there could be a long way to go before any damages are paid out, however the company "would like to make a donation to digital rights organizations that are working to defend people against such attacks around the world" as a result of its success in court.

Broadcom is reportedly sending out cease-and-desist letters to VMware perpetual license holders whose support contracts have expired.
The news comes around 18 months after the company acquired VMware, when one of the first big changes it made was to end perpetual licenses in a bid to transition to more lucrative subscription-based models.
At the time, users reported seeing considerable price hikes, with many opting to leave the new Broadcom-led VMware.
Broadcom is addressing VMware perpetual licenses, againUsers can continue using existing software under their perpetual licenses, however they cannot access updates or support unless they had a pre-existing contract, Ars Technica explained.
Now, customers are receiving letters demanding that they stop using any updates, patches or releases issued after their support packages had expired, with the exception of zero-day security patches.
Customers are even being asked to uninstall updated if they've already had them applied. The continued use of such updates is being framed as a breach of contract and intellectual property infringement, therefore Broadcom has expressed a willingness to explore legal options.
"Any such use of Support past the Expiration Date constitutes a material breach of the Agreement with VMware and an infringement of VMware’s intellectual property rights, potentially resulting in claims for enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees," an extract from the letter reads.
According to the report, letters are also mentioning the possibility of audits for non-compliance, while some have been received by customers who are not in breach of Broadcom's policies, including those who have moved away from VMware altogether.
The decision to press on with ending perpetual licenses for good doesn't come as a big surprise, but Broadcom has reversed some of its controversial changes to pacify customers after some of its execs came online to respond to disgruntled customers.
TechRadar Pro has asked Broadcom to confirm details of the letter and to offer further context, but the company did not respond to our email.
You might also likeSony has unveiled a new limited edition DualSense Wireless Controller to celebrate the upcoming release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
The controller is set to launch on June 26, 2025, alongside the PlayStation 5 release of Death Stranding 2. Pre-orders for it will begin on May 22, 2025, and it will cost $84.99 / £74.99. It will be available exclusively via PlayStation Direct in limited quantities.
The controller looks like the standard Midnight Black DualSense with some small decals applied. Both grips have a basic orange pattern on them, with futuristic numbers and a barcode-like graphic. There's also a patch on the controller's touchpad, with a 'Drawbridge' logo in addition to the text "both stick and rope, to protect and connect. Together, for tomorrow."
The only other other thing of note on the front is a subtle print of a ring connecting the controller's face buttons, giving it a marginally more futuristic look. The back of the controller then has a barely noticeable Death Stranding 2: On the Beach logo slapped on.
Honestly speaking, it's not the most exciting limited edition controller I've ever seen. I could certainly think of a few ways in which I could have been made more interesting without pushing the envelope out too far. A dual-tone design, like the one found on the recent The Last of Us Limited Edition controller, perhaps in orange and black would have been a lot more eye catching at least.
Given the asking price, it's not unreasonable to expect more than a few small prints on a standard colorway. I'm not alone in this assessment either, as some PlayStation fans have taken to the PlayStation Blog comment section to express their disappointment with the design.
"Could’ve been much better than just some some small patches of images. Sony should learn from Microsoft on how to design limited edition controllers," said one.
"How is it possible for a company this big to become so greedy and lazy? How do you go from making a controller like the Death Stranding PlayStation 4 one, or the Astro Bot PS5 controller, to making this? Why are you treating your biggest IPs and fans with such disrespect? You literally just took an existing black DualSense, slapped some ugly stickers on it, and called it a 'Limited Edition controller'," another replied.
"There is nothing about this controller that screams 'Death Stranding 2; when you’re looking at it. Is this all the creativity and effort you’re willing to put into a Limited product? Huge disappointment, and hard pass."
You might also like...Sony’s Xperia 1 phones are among other things known for quite impressive cameras, but oddly – despite Sony also making a range of popular and capable ‘Alpha’ cameras – the company hasn’t used ‘Alpha’ branding on its Xperia phone cameras before. But it looks like that’s about to change.
In a teaser video on YouTube, the company has revealed that the next Sony Xperia 1 – likely to be dubbed the Sony Xperia 1 VII – is landing on May 13.
This teaser doesn’t give much away, but it does mention that the phone is “powered by Alpha”, and then goes on to show an Alpha camera, followed by images of people taking photos with what’s likely the Xperia 1 VII.
So, if nothing else this tells us that photography is likely a major focus for the Sony Xperia 1 VII, but what exactly it being “powered by Alpha” means is less clear, with that potentially referring to software, hardware, or both.
Still, based on our Sony Xperia 1 VI review we can say that we hope night image quality and dynamic range optimization are improved, as they were weak links in that phone’s photography performance.
A trio of sensors, likely with upgradesAssuming the phone pictured in the video is the Sony Xperia 1 VII it has a similar design to the Xperia 1 VI, complete with a flat back and three rear lenses. We have some idea of what those lenses might be too, with leaks pointing to a 48MP main sensor (with optical image stabilization), a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP telephoto, with a focal length that can range from 70-200mm.
That’s broadly similar to what you’ll find on the Sony Xperia 1 VI, except the telephoto camera there is limited to 85-170mm.
Still, even if these leaks are correct, it’s possible we’ll see other changes to justify the 'Alpha' branding, such as larger sensors, better lenses, or software improvements.
Away from the cameras, it has also been reported that the Sony Xperia 1 VII will have a 4K, 120Hz screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, and a battery of at least 5,000mAh.
So, this could be a highly capable handset, but with the current model costing £1,299 / AU$1,899 (with no US availability) it’s also likely to be extremely expensive. We should find out for sure very soon.
You might also likeIf you frequently find yourself screenshotting locations and then looking them up afterwards, there’s a new feature in the Google Maps iOS app that could help save you time.
In a blog post, Google detailed the feature, which is available now (although it had been revealed about a month ago). The feature sees Google use its own Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) to scan your screenshots and add any locations mentioned in the images to a new private list in Google Maps.
Right now, it appears that Google Maps scans your images for text mentioning a place name, rather than looking up the location data itself that's been saved to the pictures or using image recognition. That's a bit limiting for now, but it's surely the first step towards more powerful version.
You can find the new private list in the You tab in the Google Maps app. Provided you have the latest Google Maps update, you’ll find a private list labeled Screenshots, alongside a tutorial on how to use the new feature.
The Screenshots folder will show a list of recent images that contain location names. You can then tap a Review button to see the place that Google has detected in the image. If you’re happy it has the right place, you can tap Save; otherwise, tap Don’t Save. The app will then show you the saved location on a map.
There’s also an auto-scan aspect to this. If you grant Google permission, the app will be able to scan all of your screenshots in order to detect locations. Or you can add images manually, if you prefer.
Privacy concerns (Image credit: Google)Given Google’s arguably shoddy record when it comes to user privacy, the idea of allowing the company to scan my library of screenshots and log my location information feels pretty uncomfortable to me.
Chances are this location data will be sent to Google’s servers, where there’s the potential for it to be processed, sold, and used to profile you – all things that Google’s business model is built upon.
Beyond the privacy concerns, I wonder how much utility a feature like this would add in the first place. On iOS, you can tap and hold on any text and then look it up on the web, which applies to things like addresses and place names. That means it’s already quick and easy to find information on places you’ve screenshotted, without Google Maps’ latest update.
Still, just because I’m not sold on it, that doesn’t mean that no one else will find Google’s latest idea useful. If you want to try it out for yourself, make sure you download the latest Google Maps version on iOS – the feature will apparently come to the best Android phones at a later date.
You might also likeNot even half (44%) of CEOs consider their CIOs to be up to speed when it comes to AI, according to a new report by Gartner, despite these workers being considered as the most tech-savvy (64%).
In fact, although CIOs are seen to be the most tech-savvy, they rank second in terms of AI savviness, with 2% more CEOs seeing their CISOs as having the right skills and knowledge (46%). Chief Data Officers ranked in third place (40%), with the next in line (Chief Strategy Officers) several steps behind, at 24%.
All of this is despite the fact that more than three-quarters (77%) of CEOs acknowledging that AI will define the future of their business.
CEOs don't see many of their workers as being AI-savvyExploring the C-suite in particular, it's clear that chief execs don't have a lot of confidence in their high-level management when it comes to artificial intelligence. In fact, they have varying but low levels of confidence (7-18%) for the likes of the CRO, CFO, CMO, COO, Chief Sales Officer, CSCO, CLO and CHRO.
"We have never seen such a disproportionate gap in CEOs’ impressions about technological disruption," noted Gartner Distinguished Analyst David Furlonger.
Gartner's report not only demonstrates the need for AI upskilling, but it also highlights a lack of sufficient upskilling in recent years. The 2019-2020 Gartner CEO Survey also described execs' tech saviness as "suboptimal."
"A significant implication is that, if savviness across the C-suite is not rapidly improved, competitiveness will suffer, and corporate survival will be at stake," Furlonger continued.
Gartner noted hiring for AI skills might not be so simple, adding that supporting the existing workforce with learning and development opportunities could offer a more sustainable long-term approach to business growth.
More broadly, CEOs aren't just concerned about their inability to hire the right talent – there's also an apparent block when trying to calculate value and outcomes.
You might also likeImages of Microsoft's long-rumored Xbox handheld made by Asus have leaked online, offering the first look at the partnered device.
As reported by VideoCardz, the photos were mistakenly leaked by the United States FCC, which inadvertently revealed two versions of the ROG Ally 2, including the Xbox-branded device codenamed "Project Kennan".
One model is white, but the other, Project Kennan, is all-black and features what appears to be a dedicated Xbox button in the top left of the device.
It's said that Microsoft will officially reveal Project Kennan in the coming months, likely before the end of 2025, which means we could see an announcement during its annual summer showcase in June or July.
Both models offer a large screen, analogue sticks, D pad, and X, Y, B, and A buttons. Notably, they also sport handles that are fashioned after a controller, offering what looks like a more chunky grip.
They look a lot like the first ROG Ally handheld PC, which, to be honest, is quite underwhelming. Focusing just on the Xbox version, I expected a lot more in the design department aside from a barely visible branded button; nothing about it screams "Xbox gaming handheld" to me.
Project Keenan was leaked in March and was reported to be a partner device with some sort of Xbox branding, green highlights, and an Xbox Guide Button. The latest images do seem to corroborate these newly leaked images, but they are clearly a work in progress, so hopefully the design will get updated before its release.
It also appears that this new partnered device is not the Xbox handheld that Microsoft's gaming CEO Phil Spencer said is years away from release. In November 2024, Spencer confirmed that the company is working on handheld prototypes and said that he had asked his team to look at the current market to develop its vision of a handheld based on what it learns.

According to well-known tipster @PandaFlashPro (via Wccftech), the speakers and the way they're incorporated into the chassis will be the same across both foldables. Presumably, this won't be too different from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 either.
What's more, the hinge mechanism is apparently going to be similar on both handsets, and both should feature a "full-flat body" – we're assuming that means the bumps and creases will be minimal, which is something that's already been rumored.
No doubt this is going to save some money for Samsung, because they can use more of the same components across the Galaxy G Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 7, even though the former is going to have an extra hinge and a third screen panel.
What we think we knowSamsung Tri-Fold "Confirmed"The Speakers Drivers are the Exact Same as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and have the Same Design Cut-Outs.Hing Mechanism also Similar as New Hing of Upcoming Z Fold 7.Full-Flat Body Like Z Fold 7.May 7, 2025
Samsung has previously teased a tri-fold handset, so we know it's on the way, but we don't know much else about it, officially. Brightness and wired charging speeds seem set to match the current models, at 2,600 nits and 25W respectively.
Unlike the Huawei Mate XT, the Samsung tri-fold is rumored to fold inwards, which means an outer screen is needed as well as the main display. The displays are apparently going to measure 6.49 inches (outer) and 9.96 inches (inner), corner to corner.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 are widely expected to launch sometime in July, and it seems the Galaxy G Fold will be fully unveiled at the same time. However, it may not go on sale until later in the year – and availability could be limited.
Whenever it shows up, don't expect it to be cheap. It'll certainly be more expensive than the standard Galaxy Z Fold model, and as our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 review will tell you, that phone launched at a starting price of $1,899.99 / £1,799 / AU$2,749.
You might also likeSamsung Galaxy Watches will get a major upgrade with the advent of One UI 8 Watch – which we could see as soon as June or July – which looks set to include Google Gemini, a Shortcuts app, and Samsung's Now Bar.
Following reports that Samsung will skip One UI 7 Watch in favor of One UI 8 Watch – a move that will align the branding of Samsung's watch software with its best Samsung phones – One UI 8 APKs have leaked, giving us a look at the new features coming to Galaxy wearables.
As reported by Android Authority, Gemini AI is indeed coming to Samsung watches as well as its own Pixel lineup, with some exciting new features in tow. Findings indicate new 'Gemini Actions' will bring many of the same great Gemini features for Android phones to your wrist, with code strings hinting at several exciting actions.
References include Gemini Actions that can move your meetings, summarize emails, and tell you the weather, as well as an input that can quickly mute Gemini AI with a simple tap of your screen.
One UI 8 Watch: What else is new? We reckon Samsung One UI 7's Now Bar is one of its best features (Image credit: Future)As noted in a separate report, AA has also uncovered a new Watch app dubbed Shortcuts, which will let you add apps to your Galaxy Watch home screen as either 2 x 1 or 2 x 2 tiles, making them much more easily accessible.
Finally, the outlet reports that Samsung is bringing One UI 7's Now Bar and Now Brief to the Galaxy Watch. Samsung's Now Bar displays information, including live notifications, music, and more, on your Galaxy smartphone's home screen. According to AA, users will be able to choose between a simple icon and a larger display with an icon and text.
Users will also reportedly be able to double-pinch to open the Now Bar, and enable other actions if there's no content in the bar.
"Essentially, the Now Bar on Galaxy Watches will serve as a widget system, surfacing contextually relevant data without needing to navigate away from the watch face," the report explains, specifically noting contextual suggestions, maps, media controls, Now Brief, tips, and Sports on Google (live sports scores).
There are no doubt other big features hidden under the surface that will come to light as we move towards the official release of One UI 8 Watch. Suffice it to say, customers can expect a pretty hefty software upgrade on devices like the Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7.
Naturally, these changes will also feature on the expected Galaxy Watch 8, expected later this year.

The bug is described as an incorrect privilege assignment flaw in Brainstorm Force that allows privilege escalation. It affects all older versions of the website builder plugin, up until version 1.0.83, which was released on April 21, 2025. It is tracked as CVE-2025-27007 and has a severity score of 9.8/10 (critical).
In theory, threat actors could send a crafted POST request to a vulnerable REST API endpoint exposed by OttoKit, containing automation data that mimics internal plugin logic. Due to missing validation, OttoKit would fail to properly authenticate the request, and since the automation logic runs with elevated privileges, the threat actors are ultimately allowed to create a new user account and assign it the administrator role.
