    Destiny 1 PC port project Project Golden Age seemingly gets a nod from Bungie boss

    A fan modding effort dubbed Project Golden Age is working to bring the original Destiny to PC, and YouTuber Flummoxed has shown footage of Destiny 1 running at 4K and well over 60fps. Bungie studio head of product and Marathon general manager Josh Deane commented on the footage on X with a joking remark. The project rebuilds the game from client and server requests and responses, and its GitLab page mentions use of generative AI, though it still has physics and rendering issues.

    GTA 6 leak group threatens to release alleged full build including story mode

    The group behind the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks, known as CyberLeek, has reportedly threatened to release an alleged full build of the game, including its full story mode and end credits, if its memecoin's market cap reaches $30 million. The group demanded physical disks and a public apology from Take-Two, and its memecoin market cap rose from $3.8 million to $5.7 million after the warning was reported. Take-Two has filed subpoenas against Microsoft, Discord, and X to identify alleged infringers, while Rockstar said it hopes players will wait until November 19 to experience the game themselves.

    Why this: The follow-up to the GTA 6 leaks covers the group's threat and Take-Two's legal moves, showing how the standoff is developing.

    GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek posts another video, says full build follows if coin hits target

    GTA 6 leaker CyberLeek posted a second roughly five-minute video on ResetEra showing Lucia parachuting off a rooftop, a day after threatening to release a full playable build. The clip shows Lucia using an ATM in Vice City with a $15,000 limit and a Buckme logo, and a dev menu is visible, so the naked Lucia may be a debug feature rather than open-world gameplay. CyberLeek says the full build will be released if their cryptocurrency coin reaches a $30 million market cap, while Rockstar has called the leaks heartbreaking and parent company Take-Two is seeking the leaker's identity. GTA 6 is due out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 19th November.

    Group threatens to leak full GTA 6 build if physical plans aren't reversed

    A group calling itself Cyberleek has threatened to leak a working build of GTA 6, including the full story mode played to the end and credits, if its cryptocurrency reaches a 30 million market cap. The group has posted unauthorized GTA 6 gameplay clips for nearly two months, including 25 minutes of new footage this week, and says its leaks protest Rockstar's decision to sell digital pre-orders without a physical version. Take-Two has filed multiple subpoenas to Discord seeking information on specific servers and users, and withdrew a subpoena request to YouTube.

    GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek says the full game build drops if its meme coin hits $30 million market cap

    GTA 6 leaker account Cyberleek said in an October 10 notice on its website that it will release the full game build, including the complete story mode played to the end, if its meme coin reaches a $30 million market cap. It also demanded that Rockstar put out a disc-based PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version and issue a public apology. The account had posted about 25 minutes of new gameplay footage earlier this week, after going quiet in late August when it appeared to withdraw $250,000 worth of its meme coin. Rockstar and parent company Take-Two subpoenaed Discord and Microsoft in August over the spread of the leaked videos, with no update since.

    Sony is reportedly plotting to revive classic PlayStation games, starting with a new Ape Escape from the developers behind Sonic Mania

    Sony reportedly wants to revive a selection of its long-dormant PlayStation classics with smaller third-party developers, starting with a new Ape Escape from Evening Star, the independent team behind Sonic Mania, according to The Jeff Gerstmann podcast and VGC. Gerstmann said the game is not close to release, and PlayStation is apparently keen to work with other outside developers on its legacy IP, similar to 2025's Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots handled by Bandai Namco. The last mainline Ape Escape game was 2005's Ape Escape 3.

    Mounting Evidence Says Sony Is 'Accepting Game Pitches' for Fan Fave Franchises

    Multiple sources say Sony is accepting game pitches for fan favourite franchises and plans to license older brands to talented third-party studios, funding and publishing the games itself with original creators involved. Reports point to a Killzone remake at People Can Fly, an Ape Escape revival at Evening Star, and chatter of a new Sly Cooper. The leaker believes the first wave of this initiative could arrive around the PS6 launch window, with titles likely also shipping on PS5.

    Rumour: More Sources Back Ape Escape Revival from Ex-Sonic Mania Devs

    More sources have backed the rumour that Evening Star Studio is developing an Ape Escape revival. Journalist Jeff Gerstmann said on his podcast that the reporting is true, and VGC said its own sources confirmed the same. The earlier claim came from Reddit user IcyPenguin28, who cited a couple of credible sources and pointed to the studio's CTO Hunter Bridges being a fan of the series, a job ad for an anime-styled 3D character artist, and CEO Dave Padilla's 2025 move to Tokyo. Gerstmann said he heard about this a while ago and that the game may be very early in development.

    Dealabs reports that Forza Horizon 6 will come to PS5 on January 26, 2027, a date it says backs up the delay mentioned by Tom Warren and contradicts Xbox's official line that still pointed to 2026.

    New PlayStation Portal Model/Revision Certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance

    A Wi-Fi Alliance certification lists new PlayStation Portal model numbers CFI-Y2000 and CFI-Y2105, possibly the EU version, alongside existing models CFI-Y1000, CFI-Y1001 and CFI-Y1016. The 2XXX numbering suggests a significant revision, possibly the OLED model Kepler_L2 mentioned earlier this year, or a battery revision to make battery replacement easier.
