๐ธ $9.6 billion for the Seahawks
The NFL has approved the sale of the Seattle Seahawks โ reigning Super Bowl champions โ for $9.612 billion. A record for American football, and the second-largest franchise sale in North American sports history.
The team belonged to the estate of Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder who bought the club in 1997 and died in 2018. His instructions: sell and donate the proceeds to charity. The buyer is venture billionaire Vinod Khosla, who had to give up his minority stake in the 49ers to close the deal.
Only the Lakers fetched more โ $10bn earlier in 2025, per BBC Sport. And they're already changing hands again.

๐ธ The GTA 6 leaks were a crypto scheme โ and a profitable one
An account called Cyberleek spent days releasing GTA 6 footage under the cover of protesting physical media's decline. Every post pointed to a site where fans voted on future leaks using Cyberleek's own token.
Crypto analyst Vice Cit had called it a money scheme from the start โ and overnight it concluded. Fee revenues moved into multiple wallets and were withdrawn. Total: ~$270,000, against a $29,000 setup cost. Multiple withdrawal routes suggest a group rather than one person. Identifying anyone now depends on Rockstar's lawyers pressuring exchanges and platforms to hand over data.
The leaks are likely done: the token was falling, interest cooling, and Rockstar's official gameplay hits Netflix today. Full breakdown via IGN.

๐ฟ Xbox figured out how to make discs and digital get along
While Sony announced the end of disc-based PS5 games after January 2028 and caused a minor uproar, Microsoft went the other direction. Starting August 31, Xbox Insiders test a long-wanted feature: insert a disc into an Xbox One or Series X, claim a permanent digital copy, leave the disc in a drawer.
The disc stays bonded to your account โ lend it and the license travels with it, so you can't keep both. Trading in still works. "Thousands" of Xbox One and Series X titles supported at launch; Xbox 360 stays out for now, as The Verge first reported this summer.
The quiet logic: Project Helix, the next Xbox, likely ships without a disc drive. A disc that works once as an activation key โ physical media's most dignified exit yet.
