🎮 GTA 6's Game Informer Cover Story Is Out — Map Twice GTA 5's Size, Hurricanes, 170+ Animal Species

Game Informer's 14-page GTA 6 cover story went live September 29, and it's the biggest wave of official detail Rockstar has allowed out since the game's reveal. Written by South Florida native Marcus Stewart off interviews with Rockstar's lead designers, it's free to read in the Game Informer app. The headline number: Leonida is roughly twice the size of GTA 5's map, with more enterable interiors, and a boundary at Mount Kalaga that serves as the game's stand-in for the Florida-Georgia line.

The Florida-ness goes deep. Rockstar rebuilt its weather system to be localized and persistent — puddles that linger, rainbows, tropical storms, and full hurricanes, with a new wind system on top. Wildlife is just as dense: more than 170 animal species across land, air, and sea, including Leonida-native creatures never seen in a Rockstar game before.

On the gameplay side, Jason and Lucia can be controlled separately or together, with switching available almost any time, and robbing places together strengthens their relationship — tying the crime and relationship systems together. The story also details a new Heat system and a returning Snapmatic for in-game social media. The most telling part is where Rockstar's attention sits: as much on what happens between jobs — a storm rolling through another part of Leonida, wildlife worth tracking, time spent with Jason and Lucia — as on the jobs themselves. GTA 6 launches November 19. 👉 👉 Check out the article!

🎮 Meta Unveils $1,300 VR Glasses — Right Behind Valve's Steam Frame

Meta used its Connect event on September 23 to announce the Meta VR Glasses: a strapless, controller-free headset that weighs about 100 grams, runs on hand and eye tracking, and goes on sale in spring 2027 for $1,299.99. The catch behind the weight figure: the glasses have no onboard computing at all. Compute, storage, and battery live in a separate puck tethered to the frame, so the 100 grams describes what sits on your face, not everything you have to carry.

Meta is pitching it as much more than a games device — a multi-screen private workspace, a personal cinema (it's the first IMAX Enhanced-certified VR device), and a window into live U.S. sports, with micro-OLED displays and Dolby Vision support. Games are almost an afterthought by comparison: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies VR, Tetris Effect: Mixed Realities, and Beat Saber: Flux are all slated for 2027, and none are exclusive, since all three also launch on Quest.

The pricing context is the real story. It lands right behind Valve's Steam Frame, which starts at $1,059, and far under Apple Vision Pro's $3,500-plus price. It also comes from a company whose Reality Labs division has reportedly lost around $83.6 billion over six years and shut down several internal VR studios. If you read our Steam Frame piece a couple of issues back, this is the other half of the same story: premium VR is suddenly a two-horse race, and both horses are priced like laptops. 👉 👉 Check out the article!

🎮 Minecraft Reveals Its First New Dimension in 15 Years

Mojang revealed The Sift at Minecraft Live on September 26, the game's first new dimension since The End in 2011. It debuted in Minecraft Dungeons II, which launched September 29, and arrives in Minecraft Java and Bedrock in 2027, with pastel landscapes and a new passive, bunny-like mob called the blub. Fans immediately started comparing it to The Aether, the long-running fan mod that added a heaven-like dimension — one Reddit reply called it "basically just a canon Aether." 👉 👉 Check out the article!

🎮 Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture Splits From NetEase

Goichi "Suda51" Suda announced Wednesday that Grasshopper Manufacture is leaving NetEase and going wholly independent again, five years after NetEase bought the No More Heroes studio in 2021. The split comes right after Romeo Is A Dead Man, the only game Grasshopper released under NetEase, and Suda thanked NetEase for helping make it. DualShockers' read is the sharper one: Grasshopper is the latest studio touched by NetEase's pullback, and leaving now may have been a smart way to get out while the getting was good — another flavor of the consolidation wave we covered with Xbox last issue. 👉 👉 Check out the article!

📺 WWE's Main Event Leaves YouTube for Rumble Starting October 14

WWE announced on September 24 that its weekly Main Event series is leaving YouTube, where it has aired since the start of 2026, for Rumble in a long-term distribution deal. It debuts there Wednesday, October 14 at 8PM ET — a new slot that puts it head-to-head with AEW Dynamite — with episodes at Rumble.com/WWE and in Rumble's mobile and connected-TV apps. Rumble's Chief Content Officer, Claudio Ramolo, called it a "key pillar" of the platform's expanding sports lineup, while WWE's Alex Varga framed the move as serving a "digital-first audience."

The numbers are the open question. Main Event has been pulling nearly 300,000 views on YouTube, and Rumble's overall audience is considerably smaller. Financial terms weren't disclosed. Fan reaction has been mixed, with plenty of grumbling about yet another platform needed to follow WWE programming, which is now spread across a growing list of services.

The bigger question for creators: a mainstream, name-brand property is willing to trade YouTube's reach for a smaller platform's deal. Whether Main Event holds its audience after it leaves will say a lot about how far Rumble can stretch beyond its core creator base, and the week-by-week numbers after October 14 will be the first real answer. 👉 👉 Check out the article!

🎬 YouTube's Made on YouTube Event: AI Editing, Face Protection, and Live "Showdowns"

At its annual Made on YouTube event on September 23, YouTube announced a batch of AI-heavy creator tools. The headline feature is a Gemini-powered conversational editing assistant inside Shorts and the standalone YouTube Create app: instead of scrubbing a timeline, creators describe what they want in plain language — trim dialogue, sync clips to music, drop in text hooks, reorder frames. YouTube is also rolling out a homepage that adapts to a viewer's mood.

The pieces most relevant to streamers: live auto-dubbing for streams, and multi-creator "showdowns" for live broadcasts. On the protection side, YouTube is expanding its likeness-detection system, which already flagged unauthorized use of a creator's voice, to cover their face too — a direct response to the wave of AI deepfakes and voice clones imitating creators without consent. 👉 👉 Check out the article!

💸 Kick Admits a Partner Program Payout Error, Issues Backpay

Kick Director Ethan Wright publicly admitted in late September that a manual error in earnings calculations shorted a number of Kick Partner Program creators that month. Kick says it corrected the calculations and issued manual payments to everyone affected — the backpay shows up in creators' Stripe accounts but not in their on-platform earnings. The bigger change is structural: Kick is moving the Partner Program away from stream-by-stream payout rates, so earnings build over time instead of resetting every session. 👉 👉 Check out the article!

💰 Twitch Reportedly Offering Higher Cameo Revenue Splits

Twitch is reportedly offering select creators higher revenue splits on Cameo fees — 80% for Partners and 75% for Affiliates, according to a September 24 post from Zach Bussey on X and a Streams Charts writeup published September 30. Offers are going out by email to eligible creators, so not everyone is seeing it yet. Worth stressing what this isn't: it's not a change to subscription splits, and it's based on creator reports rather than an official Twitch announcement. 👉 👉 Check out the article!
