GTA 6 to release soon: Is your PC setup ready for the game?

Rockstar Games is releasing Grand Theft Auto VI, which will have significantly higher hardware demands compared to GTA V, requiring two to three times the processing power. The game will feature advanced visuals, real-time ray tracing, and complex environments. For 1080p gameplay, players will need at least an RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6800 XT. Minimum system requirements are expected to include an Intel Core i5-6600K processor, NVIDIA GTX 1660 graphics card, 12 GB of RAM, and 150 GB of SSD storage. Recommended specs for high-resolution gameplay include an Intel Core i7-10700 CPU, NVIDIA RTX 3060 or RTX 2080 SUPER, and 16 GB of RAM, preferably with NVMe SSDs. Gaming laptops will require at least an RTX 4050 for low settings at 1080p, while an RTX 5070 is recommended for better performance. Multi-core CPUs with at least eight physical cores are necessary to avoid frame drops during intense gameplay. SSDs are mandatory for the game to ensure fast loading and asset streaming, with a total game size of 150 GB.

Windows 11’s Game Bar gets a fresh coat of paint, plus a tweak to work better on handhelds – and I like the direction Microsoft’s heading in here

Microsoft has rolled out updates for Xbox consoles and Windows 11 users, particularly enhancing the Game Bar. The Game Bar has received a graphical overhaul, including redesigned widgets such as Capture, Performance, Resource widgets, and the Widget Store. Improvements have also been made to navigation within the Widget Store for controller users, especially in Compact Mode, which optimizes the display for gaming handhelds. The updates aim to create a cleaner and more organized user interface. There is anticipation for a potential 'handheld mode' for Windows 11, which has been rumored.

Florida’s Mike Waltz and Marco Rubio on text chain that included journalist. What we know

A Florida politician, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, was involved in a national security breach after inadvertently including a journalist in a group chat on the Signal messaging app. The chat contained sensitive discussions about U.S. airstrikes against Iranian-backed militants in Yemen, specifically targeting Houthi sites, with critical details shared by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just hours before the strikes on March 15. President Trump claimed no classified information was shared despite the seriousness of the situation. The National Security Council is investigating the breach, and Waltz has taken responsibility for the error. The incident raises questions about the use of Signal, an app designed for secure communications, for sensitive government discussions and potential violations of the Presidential Records Act.

Minecraft’s never going free-to-play because as it stands it’s ‘the best deal in the world’

Mojang introduced new sophisticated shaders for Minecraft, set to enhance the visual experience in 2025. The standard "Java and Bedrock" edition of Minecraft is priced at £20, with various deluxe editions, skins, and texture packs available. Two optional subscriptions, Marketplace Pass and Realms Plus, offer additional customization and multiplayer experiences, but the base purchase provides a complete gaming experience. Mojang emphasizes accessibility and a commitment to maintaining the game's core experience without aggressive monetization. A parent noted that Minecraft became the sole game played on their child's Switch after purchasing it for £20. Mojang's representatives confirmed that there is no pressure from Microsoft to explore new monetization strategies. Game director Agnes Larsson highlighted the cultural significance and community ethos of Minecraft. The latest update, "Spring to Life," is available for free and introduces new ambient features, mob variants, and minigames inspired by an upcoming movie adaptation.

Google may soon give you more control over how your Calendar data is shared (APK teardown)

Android has long enforced permissions for applications accessing calendar data, and Google Calendar is enhancing user control over data sharing. A recent APK teardown indicates that Google is developing a new toggle in Calendar settings to allow users to control whether their Google Calendar data is shared with other applications. When this option is disabled, third-party calendar apps cannot access Google Calendar entries. Additionally, Google Calendar is experimenting with a new font called Google Sans Flex, which features heavier lines with rounded ends.

‘I think only the shotguns are the same,’ says Doom: The Dark Ages director, otherwise the guns are brand-new or significantly transformed

Hugo Martin, the game director of Doom: The Dark Ages, and producer Marty Stratton revealed that most weapons in the game are new creations, with only shotguns remaining from previous titles. The game features a diverse lineup of weapons, including a familiar shotgun, a super shotgun with a new shield charge, a close-range weapon called the Skullcrusher, a Railspike that pins enemies to walls, a rocket launcher similar to its predecessor, and a new plasma-based SMG called the Accelerator. The game will also introduce new gameplay dynamics with a shield, three melee weapons, and vehicles, including a flying dragon for aerial combat and a mech named "the Atlan." Martin emphasized the importance of providing players with a new toolkit for a balanced experience, moving away from familiar weapons like Doom Eternal's Heavy Cannon. The release date is set for March 15.
