Rockstar Games has said it is ‘extremely disappointed’ with the way details of the upcoming GTA 6 title were leaked online.

A hacker shared gameplay footage to an online message board, showing robberies, open-world driving, and gunplay.

It said it’s continuing work on the title as planned, and it will share the game publicly ‘when it is ready’.

Elon Musk has announced on Twitter that he’s going to try and provide broadband to Iran using his Starlink satellite network.

To do so he’ll have to apply for an exemption to sanctions. In Iran access to the internet is heavily restricted, as the government tries to control dissent.

Twitter has just announced a new feature making the platform more accessible for visually impaired readers.

It’s introduced ‘Alt text reminders’ which prompt users to add a description of their images when uploading. That description can then be picked up by screen reader software, which reads it out loud to the user.

Nasa has released a new audio recording of a space rock hitting Mars.

Its InSight lander recorded the noise, last September when a meteoroid crashed into the martian atmosphere.

Plus research shows climate change is putting our ‘urban forests’ at risk, extra-terrestrial water has been found for the first time in a meteorite that landed in UK, satellite images show the huge scale of Queen’s funeral, rumours of a detachable disc-drive for the PS5, and AI image generator DALL-E can now edit human faces.
