No GTA 6 on Xbox store yet – Is PlayStation taking the lead?
Source: Rockstar Games Rockstar Games announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 will come out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 26, 2026. However, there is a visible disparity that is getting people speculating: GTA 6 is wishlistable on the PlayStation Store, but not the Xbox Store. This discrepancy has got people speculating that Sony might have got a marketing deal with Rockstar, providing PlayStation an early publicity lead. PlayStation gets head-start as Xbox Store is empty As it stands, only PlayStation customers are able to wishlist GTA 6 via their digital store. The fact that it is exclusive from Xbox's marketplace indicates that Sony could have a timed marketing deal with Rockstar Games. Such a deal doesn't influence the games release date or availability of content but does reserve Sony the right to exclusively market the title via its platform, brand, and possible early advertising rights. Backing this up, the second GTA 6 trailer was filmed entirely on a PlayStation 5, a deliberate action to present the game on Sony hardware and align it with the PlayStation brand. Xbox players may not be denied the game itself, but they are left to wait for listings and pre-order opportunities, which can affect fan attitude and momentum on that front. What it does to Xbox players and Rockstar's strategy A lack of an Xbox Store listing does not mean a delay or exclusivity to PlayStation in gameplay. Rockstar has stated that GTA 6 will be released concurrently on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The present state probably indicates Sony's marketing rights that will expire or dwindle as release date nears. Xbox players can look forward to the game showing up in their store in the next few months, most likely just in time for official pre-order dates. Meanwhile, Sony benefits from increased visibility, which may tip fence-sitting gamers toward its console. This pre-marketing lead showcases how promotional partnerships get to make an early impact on public opinion, particularly for a star like GTA 6. Though PlayStation seems to have the early promotional lead with GTA 6, Xbox gamers will not feel left out when the game drops. Rockstar's concurrent release strategy is not affected even as Sony leverages the present promotional highlight. Also Read: 7 micro missions we can expect to see in GTA 6

Upload regulatory approval details for wireless devices, govt. tells e-com platforms
The Union government is notifying regulations to mandate e-commerce platforms to provide copies of regulatory approval documentation for wireless devices like WiFi hotspots and walkie-talkies, the Department of Consumer Affairs indicated on Friday in a press release and a notification uploaded to their website. The primary purpose of the notification, the Guidelines for the Prevention and Regulation of Illegal Listing and Sale of Radio Equipment including Walkie Talkies on E-Commerce Platforms, 2025, dated May 27, is to bolster existing regulations prohibiting the unauthorised sale of wireless electronics — even if they operate in delicensed spectrum, like the airwaves used by WiFi routers. Walkie talkies used by law enforcement in India use spectrum assigned for that purpose in the National Frequency Allocation Plan. 'All e-commerce platforms operating in and outside India but catering to consumers in India' will be subject to the guidelines. Any equipment which supports operations in licensed spectrum, such as in bands used by telecom operators, is prohibited for sale by e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart. In fact, even equipment that is operating on delicensed spectrum cannot be imported unless the user obtains an equipment type authorisation (ETA) from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). The guidelines have further expanded the requirements, requiring e-commerce platforms to make all the paperwork leading up to such authorisations — 'For equipment capable of operating in unlicensed frequency bands only, e.g. Wi-Fi hotspots, Bluetooth devices, etc., the product listing shall mention the relevant ETA details issued by DoT, and make a copy of the ETA available for download by the buyer,' the guidelines say. 'The product listing shall also mention the operating frequency range(s) of the equipment and provide a copy of the relevant Test Report of the product issued by an accredited test laboratory for download by the buyer.' ETAs for each product cost ₹10,000, and are issued by the DoT's Wireless Planning and Coordination wing. They are required for several wireless devices imported into India, from gaming controllers to Bluetooth headsets. Many e-commerce websites were found to have cumulatively thousands of listings of walkie-talkies without an ETA or other requisite permissions.
