GTA 5 Online's Mansions update could be Its last
Image via Rockstar Games. Despite being released over a decade ago, GTA 5 is still one of the most popular titles in the world right now. And a fair share of credit goes to its online counterpart, GTA Online. GTA 5 might have never got a DLC update, but Rockstar never left GTA Online behind. That is why GTA 5 Online is slated for yet another major update in the coming winter, which will have accessible Mansions across the game. However, as GTA 6's release is nearing soon, the Mansions update might well be the last for GTA 5 Online. Is the Mansions update going to be the last for GTA 5 Online? It's the unique aspect of each update that makes GTA 5 Online legendary. For example, fans liked the Money Fronts update in the latest summer DLC very much. A Money Front is actually a legally operating business that also plays the role of a decoy against your laundering illicit income. Similarly, the upcoming winter DLC will also feature a unique aspect called Mansions. As the name suggests, players will be able to purchase, interact, and even set up businesses in Mansions. Dataminers came to conclusion when they found uncovered references of interactable Mansions in the Money Fronts update in-game files. Recently, popular GTA leaker Tez2 revealed more details about the update. According to him, the leftover scripts point towards Mansions functionality similar to Casino Penthouse. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How To Reduce Debt Over R100,000 (Without Another Loan) ExpertMoney Learn More Undo That means, players will be able to host parties, install arcade gaming setups, and many more. If all of these rumors come out to be true, then it is going to be the most exciting treat for the GTA 5 Online fans as the Mansions update is slated to be the biggest update of the game. Sadly, this update might well become its last as well. As per the regular GTA Online update schedule, the game generally releases two-three major DLC a year, often spread across spring, summer, and winter. The upcoming Mansions DLC is going to be a winter update, which might release in December 2025. And as the GTA 6 launch is looming over everyone's head on May 26, 2026, the Mansions update is highly likely to be the last one of GTA 5 Online. Also, GTA 6 is rumored to have its own online counterpart , so there are less chances that GTA 5 Online will get further updates after GTA 6 gets released. Rockstar Games is also working on testing multiplayer lobbies with support for up to 64 players, which is much higher than that of GTA 5 Online. So, the upcoming winter update might be the biggest win for the fans, because the Mansion is probably the most requested feature in the game. Also, this update will pose as a fitting send-off to the GTA 5 era.

GTA 6 to shatter records with $7.6 billion revenue in just 60 days? Here's what expert says
Grand Theft Auto VI is anticipated to break all the previous records in the gaming world so far, both in terms of sales and revenue. Analytics is predicting over $7.6 billion in revenue within just two months of its official release date. Moreover, the gaming venture capital firm Konvoy expects Rockstar Games' highly anticipated title to break industry records, potentially generating $7.6 billion in its first 60 days. This forecast has been made by Konvoy managing partner Josh Chapman (as reported by Insider Gaming). The figure includes earnings from standard game sales as well as revenue from GTA+, Rockstar's premium in-game subscription service. GTA 6 is poised to set new industry records According to Konvoy, GTA 6 could sell up to 85 million copies within the first two months, and that is all because of the worldwide audience and fan base. The firm describes the game's launch as potentially the 'biggest video game release ever,' forecasting the record-breaking numbers in sales, player engagement, and streaming viewership. Part of this forecast assumes a higher retail price as compared to the earlier titles. While GTA 5 was launched at $59.99, Konvoy anticipates GTA 6 will be priced around $80, reflecting inflation and the increasing cost of game development. This analysis also hints at a possible rise in the multiplayer scale, with speculation that GTA 6 could feature online lobbies for up to 200 players. According to the report, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar, may break even within 30 days after launch, given the anticipated $2 billion in development expenditures. This would be a remarkable return on investment, demonstrating the Grand Theft Auto franchise's commercial strength. GTA 6 release date update The wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 has been prolonged, despite all the excitement. The official release date of the title has been rescheduled from earlier this year to May 26, 2026. "Delays pain me—how could they not?" said Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, in response to the delay.

From Saiyaara To Aashiqui: 6 Bollywood Movies Based On Musical Dramas
photoDetails english 2933312 Whether it's the slow heartbreak of Aashiqui 2, or the urban lives of Metro... In Dino, these musical dramas prove that in Bollywood, sometimes music doesn't follow the story; it is the story. Updated:Jul 17, 2025, 07:25 PM IST 7 Bollywood Movies Based On Musical Dramas 1 / 7 In Bollywood, music is often used to elevate a scene, but in musical dramas, it's the heart of the story. These films don't just feature songs; their plots revolve around music, love, and the emotional connection that melodies create. Here are 6 Bollywood musical dramas where the soundtrack is the story: Saiyaara 2 / 7 Saiyaara is a romantic drama that delves into the passionate love story of two individuals, portrayed by Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film traces their emotional journey as they fall in love while working together professionally. Aashiqui 2 3 / 7 In this film, the protagonist is a singer battling alcoholism, and the woman he loves becomes a rising star. Their relationship unfolds through soulful tracks like 'Tum Hi Ho' and 'Sun Raha Hai.' Every major turning point in the story is defined by a song, making it one of Bollywood's most iconic music-based love stories. Life in a Metro 4 / 7 This multi-narrative drama uses music as a storytelling tool. Instead of being used just in the background, a live band (featuring singer KK and composer Pritam) performs during transitions. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil 5 / 7 A film where every emotion, love, longing, and loss is tied to a song. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is essentially a story of unrequited love and self-discovery told through its music. The characters often use singing and lyrics as an emotional release. Metro In Dino 6 / 7 A spiritual sequel to Life In A... Metro, this film is a music-driven narrative. With Pritam returning for the score and a fresh cast navigating urban love and conflict, it follows the same formula: stories of love and pain, told through deeply emotive music. Rockstar 7 / 7 In Rockstar, Ranbir Kapoor plays a boy whose heartbreak turns him into a rock legend. A.R. Rahman's electrifying album isn't just a soundtrack; it's the emotional arc of the character. Music is both the source of his pain and his escape, making this a raw, powerful musical drama. (All Images: IMDb)

Huge PS5 Pro update tipped to arrive in May 2026 — just in time for GTA 6
We've learned that Sony is gearing up to deliver a major PS5 Pro upgrade in 2026, but now we may know specific timing of when it may arrive — and it sets up nicely for one of the biggest upcoming game launches. Leaker DetectiveSeeds on X suggests the upcoming PS5 Pro update in 2026 is set to arrive in May, according to a PlayStation engineer. That's just in time for another major release, as the highly anticipated GTA 6 is confirmed to release on May 26. With the timing, many now speculate that GTA 6 will run at 60 FPS on PS5 Pro thanks to the software update. This would be a major upgrade over other games from developers Rockstar on PlayStation consoles, with titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V and more only ever reaching 30 FPS. Sounds like the PS5 Pro 2026 update target date is in May right now. (Per Playstation Engineer)July 13, 2025 While official specs of GTA 6 have yet to be released, a tech breakdown from Digital Foundry revealed that the second GTA 6 trailer ran on a base PS5, with 1440p resolution at 30 FPS. Notably, this wasn't on PS5 Pro, which uses PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upscaling tech. While PSSR offers an uplift in image clarity at increased resolutions in supported PS5 games, it's the upcoming advanced graphics upscaling algorithm for PS5 Pro that Sony's lead architect Mark Cerny told Tom's Guide about that would push the performance of titles like GTA 6. This "drop-in replacement for the current PSSR" will arrive in 2026, as per Cerny's comments, but only for PS5 Pro users. It's expected to deliver even further improvements in framerate and image quality, with FSR 4 (FidelityFX Super Resolution) potentially leading the charge thanks to AMD and Sony's partnership in Project Amethyst. Now that this update is tipped to arrive next May, there's a strong indication that Sony is preparing the upgrade just in time for GTA 6, which is already the most highly anticipated game to arrive in 2026 (originally set to arrive in fall 2025). If the update brings 60 FPS and improvements, this could drive further sales for the PS5 Pro. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The PS5 Pro update is set to deliver improvements to many upcoming PS5 titles that developers can implement, but having it timed for a GTA 6 release would make PlayStation's latest powerful console all the more interesting. It could even indicate what's to come in a potential PS6. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds. Make sure to click the Follow button.
