A developer from the original Grand Theft Auto game has reportedly had prototype videos hit with a copyright strike from Rockstar Games.

So now they’re trying to block all release of anyone’s work on a game – and any old development footage,” he tweeted yesterday. Read more Source – eurogamer.net All content…
MultiVersus has knocked Elden Ring off the top spot of the month’s best-selling games. NPD Group reports (thanks, NME) that despite being free-to-play – albeit with in-game purchases – MultiVersus is the highest-grossing game of July 2022, due in part to its Founder Packs promotion. It may not sound like a particularly impressive feat but to put it into perspective, since its release in February, Elden Ring has been the best-selling game every month but one.

Frontier has released another instalment of its F1 Manager behind-the-scenes series, this time focussing on how its “cutting-edge motion capture technology has been used to recreate those dramatic moments during a race weekend”. The video also showcases how the team worked alongside the BWT Alpine F1 Team to capture a real F1 pit stop, which you will see “brought to life in the game”. It’s a fascinating glimpse into how games are made, and the lengths developers go to to try and create an authentic sim experience.

It looks like Ubisoft+ – Ubisoft’s own game subscription service – may finally be on the way to Xbox. Up until now, Ubisoft+ has only been available to players on PC, but a service that scrapes Xbox’s backend and spotted by our friends at VGC has reportedly found an Ubisoft+ logo in the system, hinting that Ubisoft+ may be coming soon. A prior announcement confirmed that Ubisoft+ – unlike EA Play – would not be part of Xbox Game Pass, and this is unlikely to have changed, particularly as a cut-down version of the Ubisoft sub, Ubisoft+ Classics, is available…

PUBG’s 19.1 update is finally here, ushering in a shedload of new features, including the Assassin’s Creed limited-time event. It includes a new MP9 weapon – the first fully-automatic SMG that uses 9mm – a new vehicle that will see you unstealthily “zipping down roads with sirens ablaze”, and the Blue Chip Detector tactical gear which uses primary weapon slots but can be used to scan for enemies within a 100m radius; you’ll see the nearest 12 enemies on the map. “It’s time to explore the next chapter of PUBG: Battlegrounds, as Update 19.1 is officially live for PC and…
Women in Games has published a revised guide with 150+ pages of “information, inspiration, resources, first-hand accounts, case studies, recommendations, and more” for companies interested in “engaging with, and advancing, gender equality and wider diversity and inclusion”. The organisation – which is self-described as “activists” that believe “getting more women into games and esports should be a national, international and strategic priority” – says Building A Fair Playing Field “is very specifically focused on gender, it encompasses wider intersectional issues of inclusivity and diversity, and can be used to address them at every level”. Written by Women in Games CEO…

A developer has been banned from its game’s own Steam forum after repeatedly violating the platform’s discussion rules and guidelines. Developer Dolphin Barn Incorporated – which caught our eye when it slipped anti-mask rhetoric into its patch notes earlier this year – shared a screenshot of his ban on Twitter, which said: “This is the second time that one of your posts violates our discussion rules and guidelines, specifically insulting or flaming another user. “We’re also noticing a trend with abusive messages sent when banning players from your hub. When posting any content in the Community or communicating with your…
