GTA VI set for fall 2025 release after long development cycle

Grand Theft Auto fans have been eagerly awaiting the next installment in the iconic open-world action-adventure series, and Rockstar Games has finally announced a release window for GTA 6. The highly anticipated title is confirmed to launch in the fall of 2025, specifically between September and November.

GTA 6 Rumors

Release Date

A trailer for GTA 6, which leaked online in December, has already garnered over 190 million views on YouTube, showcasing the immense anticipation surrounding the game.

Development and Cost

GTA 6 has been in development for an extended period, which could mean that GTA 6, not only took a lot of time but also a massive amount of capital has been injected into the game. Gaming analysts have speculated that GTA 6 might just be “the most expensive game ever made.”

While fans eagerly await the new release, GTA 5 continues to be a major revenue source for Take-Two Interactive. The game has sold an impressive 200 million units worldwide since its release over a decade ago, remaining the second best-selling video game of all time, behind Minecraft.

Market Impact and Gameplay

The fall 2025 release window might be a setback for console platform companies and game retailers who hoped for an earlier release to boost sales. However, the extended development time allows Rockstar to deliver a polished and complete experience.

Morvoer, GTA 6 will feature two playable protagonists, and Rockstar aims to build upon the success of GTA Online, the popular multiplayer mode from GTA 5, while ensuring that the story mode remains a primary focus.

Platforms and Partnerships:

GTA 6 is in development for the PS5 and Xbox Series, with a later release planned for PC. Rockstar Games also has a marketing partnership with Sony, aligning with the rumored release of the PS5 Pro around the end of 2024.

The release of GTA 6 in fall 2025 will coincide with other notable game releases, such as Call of Duty and Battlefield. There are also reports of a potential Red Dead Redemption remaster coming to PC, marking its debut on the platform 14 years after its initial release.

Redmi Note 13R launched and it’s barely an upgrade…

Redmi silently added a new member to its Note series. Even though it is the successor to Redmi Note 12R, there are barely any meaningful updates. Thus, the latest Redmi phone is more or less the repackaging of the same old thing. Anyway, let’s discuss the Redmi Note 13R further in this article including its price in Nepal.

Redmi Note 13R Overview

Design and Display

As I mentioned earlier, the phone has not changed much from its prior generation. This reigns true in terms of design as well. Given that, the overall outlook of the phone is the same. However, it does receive an updated finishing touch. The company website has two different entries for the Redmi Note 13R. One entry includes three colour options, two of which have a monotone finish and the remaining has wavy patterns. Meanwhile, the other entry comprises an additional three options with a shimmery finish and a distinct black camera island.

1 of 2

On the front, the phone dons a 6.79-inch LCD with FHD+ resolution. You get a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz on the Redmi Note 13R. Similarly, the screen also offers full DC dimming with 2047 dimming levels. Additionally, it also comes with a 240Hz touch sampling rate and a peak brightness of 550 nits.

Performance

The Redmi Note 13R does not get any update in terms of the primary processor. This means that this phone still ships with the same Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 under its helm. Software-wise, the phone thankfully ships with Xiaomi’s HyperOS out of the box instead of MIUI.

In the meantime, it is available in six different configurations divided between the two listings. The available memory and storage combo on this phone are 4GB+128GB, 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB.

Moving on to the cameras, the rear camera set remains unchanged with a 50MP primary shooter coupled with a 2MP macro lens. On the other hand, the front-facing camera has been upgraded to an 8MP unit.

The battery on the Redmi Note 13R also gets a slight bump to 5,030 mAh in comparison to 5,000 mAh on the last iteration. Likewise, the charging speed has also been increased from 18W to 33W this time.

The 2024 iteration of the Vivobook 14 lineup with new Intel Core Ultra processors is now available in Nepal. In this article, let’s discuss the latest Asus Vivobook 14 laptops including their features, price in Nepal, and availability.

Asus Vivobook 14 (2024) Overview

Design and Display

Not much has changed in the new Vivobook machines from the outside. You still get the iconic Vivobook cutout on the lid, the textured Enter key, and the same color options housed in the same chassis. That means more colorful choices for the smaller 14-inch and 15-inch while the 16-inch will have to do with just Silver & Black.

Weight-wise, the Vivobook 14 weighs 1.4kg, while the 15 and 16-inch variants are a couple of hundred grams heavier at 1.7 and 1.88 kg respectively. They all feature Asus’ micro-bacterial Guard and boast military-grade endurance.

On the display side, you are getting Full HD screens on the Vivobook 14 with 60Hz IPS screen and modest 250 nits of brightness and varying color accuracy. Variants include 45% NTSC displays, 100% sRGB ones, and a special 100% Adobe colors one but only the former has arrived in Nepal thus far.

Performance and Memory

Powering the new Vivobook 14 laptops is the Intel Core Series 1 processors. You get a pick between the Core 3 100U, Core 5 120U, and the Core 7 150U. Unlike the Meteor Lake Core Ultra processors, these are based on Raptor Lake architecture much like last year’s 13th Gen Intel Core CPUs. Hence, these do not get the upgraded Arc graphics and are based on less-efficient Intel 7 architecture.

Also Read:

As for the memory, the Vivobooks feature soldered memory with an additional SO-DIMM slot for future upgrades. There’s a single M.2 slot housing an NVME SSD.

Battery and Connectivity

Despite the difference in size, all Vivobook notebooks (2024) ship with 42Wh batteries with a 45W charger in the box. They feature single-stream WiFi 6 alongside Bluetooth 5.2.

Asus ROG Strix G18 (2023) with RTX 4070 available for purchase in Nepal

In a bid to strengthen its hold in the premium gaming laptop segment, Asus has unveiled the new Strix G18 in Nepal. This gaming laptop features the latest processors for Intel and NVIDIA, as well as other gaming technology from Asus itself.

Asus ROG Strix G18 (2023) Overview:

Performance

The new ROG Strix G18 packs the latest gaming components from Intel and NVIDIA. On the CPU front, you basically have the option to choose between two 13th-gen “Raptor Lake” processors. The base variant features the Core i7-13650HX, whereas you can get the i9-13980HX by spending a little extra.

New Tri-Fan Cooling Solution

While most gaming laptops feature a dual-fan setup, the ROG Strix G18 adds a third one solely for GPU and VRAM. This Tri-Fan technology was first introduced on the Flow X16 (2022) but Asus has scaled it for the new 16-inch and 18-inch ROG Gaming laptops. Likewise, Asus has also remodeled the full-width heatsink of the Flow X16 for the Strix G18. As a result, the new model has a 92.23% larger heat sink compared to its predecessor. This is paired with seven heat pipes and Asus also includes Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the models with RTX 4080 graphics.

Design and Display

Moving on, the Asus ROG Strix G18 comes with an 18-inch QHD “Nebula Display” that refreshes at 240Hz. It boasts a 3ms response rate and is compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync.

In terms of performance, the AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S relies on the Ryzen 8000HS series APU. To be more specific, this thing packs either a Ryzen 7 8845HS or a Ryzen 9 8945HS processor. Both these silicon are built on Zen 4 architecture, rely on AMD Radeon 780M for graphics, and come with AMD Ryzen AI. While there are a lot of similarities between the two processors, they are set apart by a slight difference in their clock speeds.

Additionally, the Chinese manufacturer has pushed the TDP of these chips by 20W and as a result, achieves a 65W TDP. In the meantime, AYANEO has also equipped the Retro Mini PC AM01S with a dual-fan cooling system to keep the thermals steady. Besides that, there is no information on the additional hardware of the device. Regardless, it will likely be available in various configurations as well as a barebone option similar to its previous iteration.

AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S Price in Nepal and Availability

The product was announced on 18 May 2024 through the company’s official portal. However, the company has neither revealed the launch date nor its pricing so far. The previous model went for anywhere between USD 199 to USD 499. Therefore, considering the upgrades, the AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S might go for upwards of USD 299, which translates to its price in Nepal being around NPR 47,599.

[The price I mentioned for this product is merely my speculation, hence, the official price will most definitely be different. And the chances of this mini PC making its way to Nepal is quite unlikely too.]
