RememberThe Blair Witch Project, that viral horror sensation that made waves before social media was even a thing? Well, it’s back. And it’s an Xbox game.
Microsoft debuted a first look trailer forBlair Witchduring its annual E3 press conference, and it’s coming fromLayers of Feardeveloper Bloober. We don’t know much. It returns you to the Black Hills Forest, the site of the movie. There’s a camcorder. Also, a dog.
I fear for that dog. My heart already worries for what’s going to happen there. Here’s what Bloober has to say about the game:
It’s 1996. A young boy disappears in the Black Hills Forest near Burkittsville, Maryland. As Ellis, a former police officer with a troubled past, you join the search. What starts as an ordinary investigation soon turns into an endless nightmare as you confront your fears and the Blair Witch, a mysterious force that haunts the woods…

UPDATE AUGUST 24, 2026: The GTA 6 leaker has continued to release new gameplay clips, and is even running a poll to decide which video to leak next despite Rockstar parent company Take-Two’s ongoing hunt for people responsible.
A tenth leaked GTA 6 video was released last night, this time showing plane at night gameplay. There is no cutscene footage this time.
The watermarks are the same as those on the previous video, advertising the ‘CyberLeek’ token at the heart of the cryptocurrency scheme that is believed to be the motivating factor behind all this. Another watermark doubles down on the anti-all-digital future manifesto that formed part of the initial CyberLeek website. It reads: “They want to take your right to resell. The peaceful route got us nowhere. This was plotted by them for years. It is time to fight now or never.”
Meanwhile, CyberLeek has a new poll available on its website with a number of gameplay video choices people can vote on by sending tokens. People are currently spending hundreds of dollars’ worth of the token to vote.
This poll ends today, August 24, which suggests the leaker or leakers intend to continue to release gameplay videos even in the face of Take-Two’s subpoenas of Microsoft, Discord, and X / Twitter as part of the company’s hunt for identifying information.
We are now into the sixth consecutive day of CyberLeek releases in what has been one of the most remarkable video game leaks of all time. It is now just a few days until Rockstar’s official GTA 6 reveal, exclusive to Netflix for six hours.
UPDATE AUGUST 23, 2026: The GTA 6 leaks have stretched into a sixth consecutive day, as the person or group responsible shows no sign of slowing down even in the face of court action from Rockstar parent company Take-Two.
The latest leak is the ninth GTA 6 gameplay video to emerge this week from the ‘CyberLeek’ persona. It shows one of the two protagonists, Jason, driving to a gas station to cause havoc. There he steals a pickup truck from a conspiracy theorist. The video ends with another brief look at the same cutscene shown in the gameplay videos that were leaked yesterday.
And, as with all the leaked GTA 6 videos, this “gas” clip advertises the ‘CyberLeek’ token at the heart of the cryptocurrency scheme that is believed to be the motivating factor behind all this. A new watermark doubles down on the anti-all-digital future manifesto that formed part of the initial CyberLeek website. It reads: “They want to take your right to resell. The peaceful route got us nowhere. This was plotted by them for years. It is time to fight now or never.”
In other related news. Take-Two lawyers have issued a subpoena to X / Twitter to identify the person or persons behind three accounts that contain ‘CyberLeak’ within them. This subpoena follows two filed earlier this week requesting information from Microsoft and Discord.
ORIGINAL STORY AUGUST 22, 2026: The alleged GTA 6 leaker has released two further gameplay videos despite Rockstar owner Take-Two’s subpoenas requesting identifying information from Microsoft and Discord.
The ‘CyberLeek’ person or group released two new videos today, August 22, one showing more supercar gameplay and an armed robbery, the other strip club gameplay. The latter appears to taunt Take-Two and Rockstar by showing a snippet of a cutscene in which a character says they need to take “a leak.” This is the second cutscene to emerge this week, and there is growing concern that the leaker has access to a build of the game and may post significant story spoilers.
These new videos are the seventh and eighth to leak this week. And, like all the others, they advertise the ‘CyberLeek’ memecoin as part of what is widely considered to be a crypto scheme.

On August 20, Take-Two issued Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) subpoenas in a federal court requesting information from both Microsoft and Discord as part of its hunt for the leaker or leakers behind the recent spate of GTA 6 gameplay videos. Take-Two wants identifying information associated with user accounts that were members of a number of Discord servers, including one relating to Australian GTA content cr

Microsoft needs to solve a nagging problem: It has various Copilot AI assistants throughout its portfolio of products, irking customers who seek a single destination. The company is planning to solve that by creating a super app for its most popular AI tools.

The software giant is working on a one-stop shop that would connect its GitHub Copilot coding assistant, Copilot chat function, Copilot Cowork tool, and a new agentic workflow capability internally named Autopilot into a single app, according to two sources familiar with the project, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a platform that hasn’t yet been released. The project is being spearheaded by Jacob Andreou, Microsoft’s recently appointed head of Copilot. One of Andreou’s primary tasks has been to unite the consumer and enterprise sides of Copilot into a cohesive product.
Some elements of the app, which is being developed internally with the slogan “Delivering one Copilot,” could be referenced at Microsoft’s Build developer conference next week in San Francisco, though there are no plans to showcase the app itself. The company plans to launch the super app by the end of summer. The plans for the super app could evolve and are not yet final, the sources said, but the idea is to be able to combine a user’s Copilots into one central interface, including accounts from the productivity-focused Microsoft 365 Copilot.
There may also be a toggle function for a user to go back and forth between their personal and enterprise 365 Copilots. A user will still be able to access their Copilots outside of the super app. Microsoft declined to comment.
Microsoft isn’t alone in attempting to create a super app. Its partner-rival OpenAI has had plans to combine its ChatGPT app and its Codex coding tool with its web browser into a single destination. Elon Musk has long held an ambition to make the X social media app into a super app for communication, media, and commerce. Uber and Meta have also increasingly put services under a single app.
Microsoft has found that customers dislike shifting between its Copilot tools, and the company also seeks for people to see more value from Copilot, the sources familiar with the plans said.
The stakes are high for Microsoft, which was one of the first tech companies to make a big bet on AI, through a $13 billion partnership with OpenAI, but then lost its early lead as various rivals joined the race. The Copilot brand has struggled as a result of several issues. It has had a historic reliance on OpenAI’s AI models, which have at times lagged behind rivals in benchmarks and made Microsoft late to create its own models. Microsoft also launched several versions of Copilot, confusing customers. Until recently, Microsoft employees were split into distinct consumer and commercial Copilot teams, which made it difficult to have a unified AI vision.
The various Copilots have existed as both free consumer versions, as well as paid enterprise options. Less than 4.5% of the 450 million customers of its Microsoft 365 office suite currently pay for Copilot features. GitHub Copilot, which uses AI f
