Finally earned my 1000th Platinum Trophy on @PlayStationUK & it had to be something good. Couldn't think of anything more special than #GTAV - a game I'm still incredibly proud to have worked on 10 years ago 🤯! @RockstarGames #PlayStation

I've updated today's article with full details of everything that's gone on in the world of GTA 6. It's been busy and things aren't slowing down with plenty more updates to come in the next week! I expect to see:

- A R* newswire article with full details of the different game editions (e.g. standard, premium, collectors edition)
- Any bonuses or goodies attached to each edition, including screenshots or photos of any included merchandise
- Pricing for the different editions
- A new trailer which is likely to end with "Pre-Order Now" (probably won't appear until the 25th if that's the case)
- Potentially another website update with more story details and screenshots

Please give us a follow @iGrandTheftAuto if you enjoy our content!

How Grand Theft Auto is helping to fight crime instead of cause it...

In 2025, researchers from Hanyang University in South Korea published a project called GTA-Crime, which uses GTA V to generate surveillance footage of shootings and stabbings in order to train AI systems that detect violent crime.

The reason they used GTA V is surprisingly practical:

- Real CCTV footage of murders and shootings is relatively rare.
- Privacy laws and ethical concerns make it difficult to collect and share such footage.
- Researchers need thousands of examples to train AI models effectively.
- GTA V allows them to stage incidents repeatedly under different conditions.

They created scenes featuring:
- Shootings
- Stabbings
- Different weather conditions
- Different times of day
- Multiple camera angles
- CCTV-style viewpoints

The resulting videos were then used to train and test violence-detection algorithms.

What makes it even more interesting is that the researchers weren't just using gameplay clips. They actually built a framework that lets them generate new incidents on demand inside GTA V, creating effectively unlimited training data!

So there's your response next time you hear "violent games cause crime"... Because sometimes they can help to prevent it!

I wonder if GTA 6 will provide a whole host of new crimes for their systems to detect...

GTA 6 Countdown: 165 days to go!

Absolute legend and a great person. Hopefully see him back at Anfield in a coaching job!

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

James Milner has announced his retirement from football. Congratulations on an incredible career, James ❤️

Arne Slot Sacked and no Champions League trophy for Arsenal.

Best end to the season we wanted today.

[LB @LBLFC_]

Arsenal only winning the Premier League when it was gifted to them is an absolute failure, by the way. They got piss-easy draws in every competition and still ended up with just one trophy. Embarrassing. Bottlers.

[Simon ‘Psy’ Elliott @Psyware]

Still dunno why they didn’t just do this. It was obvious Arne Slot was going #LFC

[Simon ‘Psy’ Elliott @Psyware]

Surely #LFC announce Slot is leaving at the end of the season in the next few days… That way we can at least thank him for being there as Salah won the league for him with Klopp’s team last season…

[Simon ‘Psy’ Elliott @Psyware]

@_pauljoyce Jeez, looks like he really was asking for more than the £5 a week his performances would justify

[Simon ‘Psy’ Elliott @Psyware]

Absolutely awful season for #LFC (and football in general). Slot should be gone and no one is going to give him very long next season to get it right. Least we got to say a proper goodbye to this legend #MoSalah

[Simon ‘Psy’ Elliott @Psyware]

@premierleague @Arsenal Literally no one cares. You might as well have handed them the title on the first day of the season given how obviously corrupt it’s been to ensure they win.

[Stunner @Stunner_Lfc]

The biggest downgrade in football history.

[Mohamed Salah @MoSalah]

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.

Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.

Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.

Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.

As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

This isn’t “mitigating circumstances”, this isn’t a blip, this shouldn’t still be about “credit in the bank”, this has been consistently shite for a long time. Awful coaching, awful set up and awful standards. Delaying the inevitable and going to end up writing off next season
