Rockstar Games has given GTA 6 (Grand Theft Auto VI) another delay, as it prepares for what's tipped to be one of the biggest game launches of all time.

Previously pushed from 2025 to 26 May 2026, GTA 6 now has an advertised release date of 19 November 2026. Rockstar Games apologised for the delay via a brief blog post on its website, with the high-profile game now more than a year away.

"We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realise has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve," the blog post read.

The latest delay follows "union busting" accusations levelled at the developer after firing more than 30 workers, which it claimed was due to employees leaking information.

A data breach impacting the age assurance component of social messaging platform Discord has affected more than 68,000 Australians, according to The Guardian.

A third-party organisation Discord partnered with was compromised in October, resulting in approximately 70,000 users' information being exposed. Some government IDs were among the compromised data, in addition to email addresses and billing information.

At the time, Discord did not confirm which regions were affected. As reported by The Guardian, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner confirmed that 68,122 of the impacted users were Australian.

Discord began rolling out age verification checks for Australian users in September, which was met with criticism at the time. "Images of your identity documents and ID match selfies are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed," was Discord's official line at the time.

With how much every phone brand has rushed to promote AI features as the next big thing, you'd think that meant lots of people really cared about it, wouldn't you? Not so, according to Oppo research, which found that a mere four per cent of Australians rank AI as an important phone feature.

That tasty morsel comes from Alex Choros' reporting at WhistleOut Australia, who quizzed Oppo Australia's Managing Director, Michael Tran, on local preferences when buying phones. Tran said that "consumers are saturated with so much AI stuff", which likely contributes towards widespread apathy towards the technology.

Instead, Oppo's research found that Australians consider battery life to be the most important deciding factor, followed by value for money, camera quality, and device quality. That's probably why the new Oppo Find X9 phones include massive batteries up to 7,500mAh in capacity.

Google has announced that claims of a major Gmail data breach are "false", in the wake of reports citing 183 million impacted accounts.

In a thread of posts to the official News From Google account on X, Google claims that the "inaccurate reports are stemming from a misunderstanding of infostealer databases", and not the result of a Gmail data breach.

As reported by IT security site Bleeping Computer, the 183 million figure stems from a recent update to Have I Been Pwned, a site that publishes information about publicly known data breaches. It's not referring to a recent breach attributed to a single company. Instead, 183 million is the number of unique email addresses connected to a range of accounts that have been impacted by data breaches over the years.

Still, it's a good idea to check Have I Been Pwned and update any impacted accounts to stay secure.

Samsung has revealed the Australian price of its first ever 115” Micro RGB R95 television. It will roll out nationwide from December 10th at major retailers, with a price tag of $42,990 AUD.

The Samsung Micro RGB R95 features a new backlight technology that brings “beyond cinema standards” of picture quality and colour to Australian living rooms.

The TV uses individually-controlled red, green and blue “micro RGB LEDs”, that comprise the backlight that drives light through the TV’s screen. These micro LEDs are now less than 100 micrometers in size, or about half that of the “mini LEDs” used in Samsung’s premium “Neo QLED” mini LED TV models.

The Samsung Micro RGB R95 is also its first ultra-large TV to use 81 bit processing (27 bitX3), and has been awarded VDE’s new certification for Micro RGB Precision Colour.
