Every seven days we put together an ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) round-up like this one, so you can take a look at the biggest stories happening in tech-land since this time last week – and once again, it’s been another busy week of news and reviews.
We have everything from GTA 6 leaks to a huge deal where Netflix acquires Warner Bros. Discovery for a huge amount of money – with a 360-degree drone review, the launch of Spotify Wrapped 2025 and more stories included along the way too.
Our advice would be to settle in and get ready to digest this roundup of tech news stories that are shaping the industry and almost every part of our lives. There will no doubt be more stories to come over the next seven days as well – see you again this time next week.
7. Another GTA 6 leak got us excited and impatient
No other video game is as eagerly awaited as GTA 6 right now. And although the launch of the game was recently delayed to November 2026, we have a new leak to talk about: a leak that allegedly reveals some of the scenes that may be included in the upcoming title. This apparently comes from an animator who used to work at Rockstar.
The scenes show Lucia, one of the main characters, jumping into the back of a pickup truck and an unidentified character picking up a bike from a rental station – perhaps hinting at a few of the ways players will be able to get around the game. They are interesting, but what we really want to see is another trailer, thanks Rockstar, if you’re reading…
6. The Commodore 64 returned to production after a 30-year hiatus
How strong is your sense of computer nostalgia? The classic Commodore 64 is back in production for the first time in three decades, and while the system is incredibly dated compared to our modern gadgets, there’s something about it that makes it appealing – and it’s been updated with some modern options, including Ethernet and HDMI.
You’ll be able to play your old cartridges and discs on this new version, and in total there’s support for more than 10,000 original games (and you get plenty bundled with the device itself). Pre-orders are open now, and the basic version of the new (but retro) system will set you back $299.99 (around £225 / AU$450) – you can find more details on the updated Commodore website.
5. We reviewed the world’s first 360 drone
Today’s drones are capable of capturing some amazing videos and photos – but what if you mounted a 360-degree camera on one? That’s the idea behind the new Antigravity A1, the first model we’ve seen with a full 360-degree perspective on the world. We’ve thoroughly tested the new drone to see if it’s as good as its premise might suggest.
In short: it’s an appealing kit for drone enthusiasts. Our review talks about “impressive innovation” and an “immersive flight experience” that offers “plenty of creative possibilities” – even if it’s going to cost you a significant amount of money. Click through for our full review and all the details on everything from camera quality to battery life.
4. The annual recaps landed – including Spotify Wrapped 2025
We’ve been hit with a flurry of annual recaps this week – led by Spotify Wrapped 2025, but also including Apple Music Replay 2025 and YouTube Recap 2025, which is the first we’ve seen from the video-sharing platform. If you were wondering where all your screen time went over the past 12 months, then these various round-ups will fill you in.
When it comes to Spotify Wrapped 2025, more data is included than ever before, including a list of your top albums and a fan ranking that compares you to other listeners. There’s an interactive game you can play to compare your listening habits to your friends’, and also an AI-powered deep dive into specific days.
3. Sony launched its best camera ever – and we reviewed it
Also on the review bench at TechRadar this week: the Sony A7 V. As the attached five-star rating will tell you, the successor to the popular Sony A7 IV is a great digital camera, and it’s sure to appeal to a wide range of photographers willing to pay for the best hardware in the business (although it’s probably a bit much for absolute beginners).
With phrases like “another big step forward” and “exceptional image quality”, our detailed Sony A7 V review tells you everything you need to know about this camera – including how it compares to other top models in terms of design, price and performance. If you’re looking for a serious upgrade to your photo kit, you might just have found it.
2. Samsung finally unveiled its Galaxy TriFold
It’s been a long wait for the tri-fold phone from Samsung – remember the device was first teased way back in January – but it’s now official, and it’s called the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold. It’s available in South Korea now, and it’s coming to the US early next year (although we’re still not sure what it’s going to cost in international markets).
It’s your standard foldable, with another hinge and screen section attached – so you really do carry a tablet around in your pocket. It seems that Samsung has tried to make the device as thin and light as possible, and the specifications that have been revealed are very much flagship level. In fact, it sounds like something of a technical marvel.
1. Netflix gasped with its Warner Bros. Discovery Agreement
There is no doubt about the biggest news of the week: Netflix has entered into an agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for a cool $82.7 billion, which will give it access to its very own movie studio, as well as everything produced by HBO and HBO Max. There’s a lot of content and intellectual property included here, and we’re still taking it all in.
While Netflix promises plenty of benefits for consumers, we can’t help but worry about higher prices for streaming services and shorter theatrical runs for movies in actual brick-and-mortar theaters. There are a lot of unanswered questions about what happens next, but we’ve covered everything about the blockbuster deal that’s been announced so far.
