Cyberleek has been vocal about the leak and has actually spelled out their motivations for doing it. In a statement, they said: “A digital copy cannot sell out. Yet publishers kept the preorder system and stripped away its only consumer benefit. Now gamers pay early and receive nothing in return except a countdown timer and a cosmetic skin."

This is in the wake of Take-Two announcing there would be no physical copies of GTA VI for consoles. Purchasing a box copy would contain nothing more than a code. The move is adjacent to Sony announcing it would produce no more physical games in 2028, but Rockstar’s move starts this year, which will net it a better return on its $80 game, on that will sell tens of millions of copies.

There may be alternative motivations here, as many of the releases contain watermarks promoting a specific cryptocurrency for purchase, suggesting the leaker is trying to get something out of this besides internet infamy.

Some are criticizing the footage for its quality; one clip shows Jason getting out of a car and beating to death a driver with a wrench, and the movement and visuals seem underwhelming to some. However, Cyberleek themselves have confirmed that the leaked footage is from 2023, and a whole lot of work has happened between now and this late-2026 release.

The leak has also produced new, previously unknown information like a fuel gauge on cars, and within the last few hours, a claim that GTA VI will feature a currency that can be traded for real-life money, similar to Roblox. Cyberleek promises more releases and screenshots are coming today. (Update: shortly after publication, another trove of leaks of gameplay footage, including a cutscene, have been uploaded).

The leaks hardly seem devastating to the game’s prospects, but it is sure to infuriate Rockstar, which has an extensive reveal of GTA VI gameplay and systems on Netflix and YouTube in just over a week. Everyone spreading and debating three-year-old clips with no context is certainly not what it wants to see.

There is an uneven history of leakers in all types of media getting caught or slipping away. One of the most famous cases is a man who uploaded an unfinished version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine online. He was eventually caught and sentenced to a year in federal prison.

This story is ongoing, and we will see what happens next with what may hit the internet soon. Reportedly a new leak has just been released within the last half hour. Rockstar has not yet issued a public s

The man, a trained scuba diver who prosecutors allege was directly involved in the explosions, was arrested in the Croatian seaside town of Pula on Wednesday. Berlin will seek his extradition to face trial at the federal court in Karlsruhe, in Germany.

The German prosecutor’s office said the suspect “belonged to a group of people, including the separately prosecuted Serhiy K, who planted explosives near the island of Bornholm in September 2022 on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines.

“The accused participated in the necessary dives,” it added.

Prosecutors identified the suspect only as Vladimir Z, but he is understood to be the same man arrested by Poland last year – and released after a Polish court ruled against executing a European arrest warrant issued by Germany. He was identified in that court as Volodymyr Zhuravlev.

In a landmark ruling that caused friction in Polish-German relations, the Polish court argued that Germany had no jurisdiction in the case, and that the destruction of Nord Stream could be seen as a justified action by Ukraine as part of a defensive war.

The ruling aligned with Poland’s longstanding opposition to the pipeline project, seen as a symbol of Berlin’s close relations with Russia, with the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, publicly saying that “the problem with Nord Stream 2 is not that it was blown up; the problem is that it was built”.

Polish and German media reported that the suspect had evaded arrest in Poland in 2024, fleeing back to Ukraine. Polish authorities blamed Germany for administrative errors when logging him into the international wanted database, which allowed him to cross the border despite an active arrest warrant.

The German magazine Der Spiegel alleged the suspect was helped to escape by a Ukrainian military attache stationed in Warsaw.

The man’s second arrest – this time in Croatia – highlights Berlin’s determination to bring him in front of German courts, despite awkwardness given Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and Germany’s longstanding help for Kyiv.

The other suspect, Serhiy K, was arrested in Italy last August and extradited to Germany in November, after unsuccessful appeals in Italian courts. %!s()

Gaby Lewis again captains the squad with Orla Prendergast, fresh from representing Welsh Fire in The Hundred, serving as her deputy.

Aimee Maguire, Sarah Forbes and Ava Canning will all miss out through injury.

Ireland will play a warm-up fixture against an ECB Development XI on 29 August, while three of their squad will feature in an Emerging Ireland side that will play in the ECB Super 4s preceding the series from August 24-28.

Tector will captain what is an under-19 side, while Christina Coulter Reilly and Lara McBride will also feature for that team before joining the senior group for three matches which form part of the ICC Women's Championship 2025-29 cycle.

Ireland selector Lauren Rowles believes the regular exposure offered to the world's top sides afforded by the competition will be of benefit to Ireland.

"To have genuine competition for places within a senior squad is important as it drives standards and raises the desire of players to achieve more with every opportunity they get," she said.

"That's why the ICC Women's Championship is so important. It provides a regular programme of fixtures against the world's best sides, which in turn benefits the development and competitiveness of our players."

Squad: ⁠Gaby Lewis (captain), Christina Coulter Reilly, Georgina Dempsey, Amy Hunter, Arlene Kelly, Louise Little, Jane Maguire, Lara McBride, Kia McCartney, Cara Murray, Leah Paul, Orla Prendergast, Rebecca Stokell, Alice Tector.

Having grown up between multiple cultures and countries, travel awakens a part of my identity that stays dormant at my home base in New Jersey.

My love of travel has brought me to over 70 countries during my 33 years of life, and some places have really stuck with me. Here are five of my favorite cities around the world that I always tell my friends and family to visit.

Valletta, Malta, transported me to a fairy tale.

I visited Malta without knowing much about the country, and left with a new favorite European destination. Nestled between North Africa's coast and Italy's southern islands, I've found that Malta too often gets overlooked by tourists.

The capital, Valletta, is an enchanting seaside maze of cobblestone streets that transported me to the Baroque period. It was a great city to explore on foot.

I loved starting my mornings here with a coffee from Coffee Circus, a cozy café that looks like a cave. At the end of the day, I spent time watching the sunset from windswept clifftops in St. Elmo Bay.

Taipei, Taiwan, really comes alive at night.

As a former New Yorker, I thought I'd lived in the ultimate 24-hour city — until I visited Taipei. After the sun sets over the humid subtropical capital city of Taiwan, Taipei really comes alive.

The Ximending Walking District's bustling neon-lit pedestrian-only streets are lined with restaurants, street performers, and stores. Strolling through Ximending, sipping on bubble tea, and grabbing street food became my nightly routine.

I loved spending time in beautiful Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Almaty's walkable city center allowed me to hit multiple cultural landmarks with a single stroll around beautiful tree-lined streets.

The most memorable sites I visited were Ascension Cathedral, a colorful Russian Orthodox Church primarily built out of wood, and the Memorial of Glory, a powerful sculpture commemorating World War II (known locally as the Great Patriotic War).

But in my opinion, the best part about Almaty lies about an hour outside the city center at Shymbulak Mountain Resort. I visited in October and was blown away by the fall colors during the 20-minute scenic cable car ride to the resort base.

Ilulissat, Greenland, is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

"Ilulissat" means "icebergs" in Greenlandic, and as soon as I arrived and saw the massive iceberg-filled Disko Bay, I understood where the city gets its name.

On my first day in town, I ventured down three hiking trails, all of which were a short walk from the city center. On them, I found some of the most spectacular views of my life.

As I hiked, the Ilulissat Icefjord slowly revealed itself, until I reached the cliff edge where it felt like I witnessed two worlds meet — one a sheet of ice across the bay, and the other a lush moss vegetation that I stood on.

After my hike, I enjoyed local halibut and mussels at Inuit Café, a cute family-run restaurant.

In my opinion, Helsinki is the perfect summer destination.

If you're looking to visit a place that just feels like vacation, summer in Helsinki is for you.

I may be biased, having spent my childhood summers in Finland, but in my opinion, nothing beats cycling under the near-constant sun, eating fresh berries, and enjoying a sauna.

After enduring the cold and dark winter months, Finns often take several weeks off work in the summer to make the most of the extra daylight.

My favorite part about about the city is how urban life exists in harmony with nature. In the same day, you can catch me hiking in Nuuksio National Park, located about 40 minutes outside Helsinki by car, and attending Helsinki Festival, an arts festival typically held between mid-August and early September.
