GTA 6 release date slips, new Microsoft tablet and Lithuanian PORTAL ambitions

From the delay of the most anticipated game of the decade, Microsoft's battle with Apple in the tablet market, to the painful lessons of Lithuanian portals.

The introduction of GTA 6 back in January sent the gaming market into a tizzy. The return of the fan-favorite Vice City was scheduled for the first half of 2025, but things are looking a little different now.

According to the latest sources, during Take-Two Interactive's last budget call, it was announced that the most anticipated game of the decade would not be released until autumn 2025. This means that the game will be out on PC even later.

"The release date depends on the number of bugs we find. We want all bugs to be fixed before the launch of the game itself to make the user experience smoother", said Straus Zelnik, CEO of Take-Two.

It is not clear at this point whether the release date will change. As it seems, the entire Take-Two company is working hard to not only ensure a successful launch but to do so as soon as possible.

On the other side of the opera, the new Apple iPad Pro, just a couple of weeks old, already has a competitor. "Microsoft" has released its new Microsoft Surface Pro 11 tablet, which is up to 90 percent more powerful than its previous generation.

The computer itself has a 13-inch OLED screen, 16 or 32 GB of RAM, up to 1TB of internal storage, and a 1440p camera. What's more, it's equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor, which easily outperforms the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro M3 processors.

And while the new computer looks good, it still can't catch up with Apple's latest creations. Microsoft's new creation has 2 hours less battery life than Apple's iPad Pro and is slightly heavier.

The interesting thing is that the price ratio is similar - both Microsoft and Apple's creation with all the accessories will cost you similarly, around €2,000. So here's the choice - which side of the barricade are you on?

On the local front, there's some really juicy news. For some time now, the portal that has been standing by the train station in Vilnius, connecting Vilnius and Lublin, was supposed to become a bridge to bring people together.

Benediktas Gylis's project "Portal" was a huge success in Lithuania, and so the project was attempted between New York and Dublin. However, there has been little success here.

Within the first few moments, OnlyFans model Ava Lousie appeared on camera, showing her bare breasts. Others were on camera taking drugs, showing pictures of the events of September 11th, or mocking the dead. The portal was then shut down.

It is not clear what will happen next. The initial idea is that these portals should appear in more countries around the world. Whether these new lessons will help to better prepare for possible challenges remains to be seen.
