Grand Theft Auto V‘s Windows release date has been pushed back to April 14, 2015, just three weeks later than its previous release date, according to an update from developer Rockstar Games. The long-anticipated cooperative heists for GTA Online also have a confirmed release date now, arriving on March 10.

The upcoming Windows version comes with all of the enhancements and additional content added in the recent PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions of the game, released in November 2014. In addition to expected graphical improvements and an injection of new missions and items, the re-release also includes the new first-person gameplay mode, a brand new addition to the series. The Windows edition also features more powerful, in-depth graphical options than any previous version of the game, allowing for a wide range of hardware configurations, including support for Ultra HD displays

The new Rockstar Editor is included, providing a powerful set of tools for staging, recording, and editing videos within the game. Aspiring machinima artists will be more empowered than ever to create films with GTA as an engine, such as this recreation of the Star Wars Episode 7 trailer.

Cooperative heists will allow up to four players in GTA Online to team up for an elaborate, multi-step mission. The cinematic heists during the single player campaign of GTA V were one of its most thrilling innovations for the long-running open world series, and fans have been eager to share that experience with friends online.

Check out the Windows system requirements here to see if you rig is ready to handle Grand Theft Auto V when it hits computers on April 14.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
