Updated: Oct 20, 2026 10:48pm UTCEagle-eyed Rockstar fans have noticed camera crews recording convoys of flashy GTA 6-themed cars in Miami, creating speculation over a new live-action trailer. Rockstar Games has been conquering the city of Miami over the last few weeks as it ramps up to the release of GTA 6, which is set in a fictional version of Miami called Vice City. As a result, Rockstar has plastered all kinds of ads around the area, sent in a Vice City blimp to fly over Florida, and announced unique celebrations like a Vice City-themed NBA game with the Miami Heat in November. It's an unprecedented marketing campaign that has quite literally turned the city into a real-life version of GTA's universe. With that said, there appear to be a variety of things happening right under Miamians' noses without much explanation. Fans have started noticing exotic sports cars driving around the city in convoys, sometimes joined by a camera crew. These aren't just ordinary cars, as they're modified to resemble ones from the GTA series.

Updated: Oct 20, 2026 10:45pm UTCFinnish Counter-Strike 2 pro Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen is facing a possible four-month suspended prison sentence over alleged “aggravated tax fraud” after failing to declare income from in-game sticker sales. In Counter-Strike 2, players can purchase virtual stickers and place them on their weapons. They are an in-game item that can be bought on the Steam Marketplace, the CS2 Store, or in capsules, as well as through third-party websites. It’s not uncommon for professional teams to get a cut of the money earned from sticker sales and other in-game purchases when they compete at major tournaments — and it’s this revenue that prosecutors say Virolainen failed to include on his tax forms. On Friday, October 16, an indictment was read aloud at the Eastern Uusimaa District Court that accused the pro player of failing to declare €53,000 in income (about $59,553.18 USD) from Valve in 2020, the developer of Counter-Strike 2. Prosecutors claimed that he was able to avoid paying an estimated €28,000 ($31,441 USD) in taxes as a result — but he said he wasn’t aware that this income needed to be declared.

With an unmanageably colossal heap of demos on offer, a massive number of which look to be filled with AI-generated garbage, the current Steam Next Fest is a serious bummer. How on earth is any adult with limited free time supposed to muck through the stables of slop to find something worthwhile? Increasingly, people have been creating ad hoc slop-free recommendation lists on social media in addition to sharing browser plugins and other tools that people can use to filter out games that have a genAI disclosure. But even with tools to separate the good game wheat from the slop chaff, that’s still a lot of games to sift through, so I’m gonna throw my own recommendation onto the pile with the only demo I’ve made time for this Next Fest: Fallbearers. I found the game via Bluesky, wooed to its Steam page by the game’s trailer alone. Imagine a game that combines Bennet Foddy’s track-and-field simulator QWOP with the “Coffin Flop” bit from Tim Robinson’s HBO sketch show I Think You Should Leave—that’s Fallbearers. In it, you—by yourself or you with a friend—control two Victorian-era pallbearers as they try to transport the dearly departed from the hearse to the grave.

When the battlefield gets too crowded, sometimes the only answer is to blow the whole thing up In Magic: The Gathering, board wipes (otherwise known as "sweepers") serve as the ultimate reset button. Whether you’re in a pinch with no creatures while your opponents have full armies, or you’re looking to slow the game down by ridding everyone of lands, these are the types of spells designed to clear multiple cards from the battlefield in a single shot. These kinds of big plays have been a pillar of Magic strategy since the game’s debut in 1993, when Alpha introduced Wrath of God and set the standard for mass destruction. Control and midrange decks rely heavily on these cards to erase an opponent's early momentum, using one card from your hand to level an entire battlefield of threats.

The wonderful thing about video games is that they can take something that is, quite frankly, terrible, and turn it into an experience where you can't help but think "just five more minutes. " Incremental games often have that effect, and Selkie's Salvage&Co. is no different in that regard, it's just the funny thing is that it is essentially a game about taking your rubbish out. That is bastardising it. The setting for the world is one where the entire planet is flooded, and you, a robot created by an anthropomorphic rat girl (the titular Selkie) who I can already predict salacious fan art of, have to clean up a whole bunch of trash from it by fishing it out. This starts slow of course, all you have is you, your fishing rod, and a magnetic arm that can't carry all that much. The more trash you collect and feed into a grinder, the more you can steadily increase your capabilities.
