Mohammed Aigoin summarized the coverage and preview of Grand Theft Auto VI published by EDGE/GamesRadar. According to his report, the game would have ten times more visitable interiors than the previous installments. Aaron Garbut, the development lead and co-director of Rockstar North, reportedly explained that the locations were abundantly detailed and that he was still discovering new places after years of working on the game. Aigoin also indicated that the day-night cycles have been extended, with longer sunsets and nights. Carrying a rifle in hand or slung would change the reactions of non-playable characters: some would walk away, while others would confront the player. A criminal profile, ranging from "Professional" to "Irrecoverable," would influence the story of Jason and Lucia, according to Rockstar Games. According to Aigoin, Rob Nelson presented the couple's motivations as more complex than those of characters from previous GTAs. Jason and Lucia would first want to stay together and give their relationship a new chance, but the player could contribute to either preserving or ruining it. Aigoin added that buses would allow players to move around the game world and that Rockstar wanted to let players choose their playstyle. He mentioned the possibility of having an immersive experience by buying cigarettes and beer, taking the train, or going to a nightclub. He also reported that the San Diego studio had worked on immersive and interactive events, with each team developing its own vision. According to his summary, each vehicle would have a fuel gauge and an engine condition indicator. Cars could cover long distances, but refueling would be necessary when the fuel ran low. Finally, Aigoin reported that Aaron Garbut expressed particular satisfaction with the work done on GTA VI, stating that the team had made no compromises on scope, details, interactivity, storyline, or open world. Rob Nelson reportedly stated that the game was ready to pass from the hands of its creators to those of the public. Aigoin concluded that its release was imminent. #GTA6 #RockstarGames #JeuxVidéo (translated)

The author wrote that immersive and interactive experiences combining the freedom of movement of video games with the visual realism of cinema would soon come to fruition.

Romain Molina wrote that Kylian Mbappé's statement, published by Interconnected Ventures, his holding company chaired by his mother, did not ease tensions in China. He indicated that the text was rather perceived as an attempt to preserve economic interests, and that the absence of any mention of Mao Zedong as well as the use of the term "clumsiness" had sparked criticism. According to him, many messages referred to "betrayal" and reprisals were expected to continue: Mbappé's accounts on Chinese social networks, including Weibo, could no longer post due to a "violation of community rules." Molina added that at Real Madrid, they did not understand why the statement had been issued by the holding company rather than by the club, which would have likely had more experience in handling this situation. #Mbappé #Chine #RealMadrid (translated)

Congratulations to Pip Adam for winning the Ursula Le Guin Prize 2026 with "Audition"! Audition by Pip Adam A spaceship called Audition is hurtling through the cosmos. Squashed immobile into its largest room are three giants: Alba, Stanley and Drew. If they talk, the spaceship keeps moving; if they are silent, they resume growing. Talk they must, and as they do, Alba, Stanley and Drew recover their shared memory of what has been done to their former selves – experiences of imprisonment, violence and misrecognition, of disempowerment and underprivilege. Pip Adam’s uncategorisable new novel, part science fiction, part social realism, asks what happens when systems of power decide someone takes up too much room – about how we imagine new forms of justice, and how we transcend the bodies and selves we are given.
