GTA 5 Legacy Edition currently has more Steam players than free Enhanced upgrade

2025 is meant to be the year of GTA 6, but for PC players, it's also the year of the GTA 5 Enhanced Edition. This long-overdue upgrade to the 11-year-old sandbox game, which has already been available for current-gen console players since 2022, has finally arrived, offering PC players an equivalent experience. However, despite the improvements and the fact that this is a completely free update, there's still a surprisingly large amount of players sticking with the old Legacy Edition - on Steam, there are currently more people in the old version of Grand Theft Auto 5 than the Enhanced version.

GTA Online: Oscar Guzman Flies Again Now Available

Reconnect with a notorious arms trafficker to rip off opposing gangs and challenge a multinational military industrial corporation in Oscar Guzman Flies Again, now available in GTA Online. Take over the historic McKenzie Field Hangar in Grapeseed and combine an aviator’s flair with cutting-edge tech to go up against Eberhard Munitions, steal goods in new Arms Trafficking missions, and much more. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/b61b4aa02e55eb04fc69003eaa7be1253f422395.jpg[/img] PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF Inherit Trevor Philips’ legacy as Blaine County’s most infamous smuggler by purchasing the McKenzie Field Hangar, available on Maze Bank Foreclosures’ in-game website or by using the For Sale sign out front of the property in Grapeseed. Your purchase comes with a Duster plane and an unlockable Western Duster 300-H prop plane to sweeten the deal and get you airborne ASAP. Beyond serving as the command post of Oscar Guzman’s comeback, the McKenzie Field Hangar expands your overall aircraft storage capabilities. If you own a Smuggler Hangar (30% off this week at Maze Bank Foreclosures), you’ll get an additional 15 slots at your Smuggler Hangar, plus a menu to request your Personal Aircraft and take off straight from the McKenzie Field Hangar runway. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/7a65dd3a236699555f2f455d02938ba2e0f77e12.jpg[/img] RETURN TRIP It’s hard to stay retired in Southern San Andreas. Oscar Guzman’s been plotting a triumphant return to the smuggling scene, and he’s looking for a partner to haul intercepted gang shipments of ammunition and arms. Unfortunately, Eberhard Munitions — the latest conglomerate making moves — has caught wind of Oscar’s scheme and decided to protect their investments with explosive force. Eberhard’s equipment will be protected by armed guards and backed up by significant air support, so Oscar will need all the help he can get. This latest explosive update to GTA Online will take you from the top of Mount Gordo to the bottom of the ocean as you fight cougars, steal a Mogul or two, hack Eberhard servers using remote-controlled drones, evade heat-seeking missiles, and blow up a submarine while chasing down dangerous and valuable payloads. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/681c99c98e40618c3c5988b4561a7bee3bc93907.jpg[/img] BAGGAGE CLAIM Owning the McKenzie Field Hangar also lets you perform additional resupply runs in four new Arms Trafficking Missions. These operations — accessed using the laptop inside the McKenzie Field Office or by calling and requesting work from Oscar — will require you to swipe deliveries from Oscar’s rival smugglers and drop them off safely to clients. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/071b3bc73ae9de134580c8aab763d450f9599aed.jpg[/img] NEW VEHICLES Today’s update also introduces several new vehicles to GTA Online, including options for taking the road and the sky by storm. Invetero is introducing a versatile new Coquette model to its fleet: the D5. This sports car has a V8 engine, sleek silhouette, and Missile Lock-On Jammer compatibility. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/f5fcec1af9697daf953717fe78aee6983774b80c.jpg[/img] Your accomplices can guard you from attack using the various weapons aboard the formidable new Titan 250 D, while the Buckingham DH-7 Iron Mule can be upgraded with Smoke and Flares to keep it safe as you exfiltrate cargo using its hook. Check out these aircraft on the Warstock Cache & Carry website, or head over to Elitás Travel to purchase the new Western Duster 300-H, a timeless propellor plane with optional machine guns to boot. Completing Arms Trafficking Missions and helping Oscar will also unlock Trade Prices for these aircraft, as well as unlocking a free Western Duster 300-H to use from the McKenzie Field Hangar. You can also now unlock the Trade Price for the Vapid Ratel (Off-Road) by completing the Ratel Run Arms Trafficking Mission. AND MORE TO COME… Look for more action coming down the runway in the months ahead, including a smoked-out version of Hunting Pack coming just in time for 4/20, exciting Community Challenges, and holiday celebrations. Today also includes a free upgrade for GTAV and GTA Online on PC that introduces highly sought-after features from the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, including new vehicles and performance upgrades, and much more.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced launch is going poorly or well depending on how you look at it: It's got a 'mixed' rating on Steam and is one of the most-played games



Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced is out on Steam today, and so far it seems to be going either really well or not great, depending on how you want to look at it. In terms of players, things are rosy: Nearly 115,000 people are playing at the moment, and it hit a 24-hour peak of more than 187,000. That's driven in large part by the fact that the Enhanced edition is free for existing owners of Grand Theft Auto 5, which is why the sharp-eyed among you will notice that it's not among the top-selling games on Steam, but even so that's not bad at all for a fresh coat of paint on a decade-old game. But user reviews? That's a different story... Read more.

GTA V Enhanced is here and PC players finally have the port they deserve

I've jumped straight into Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on PC, and the difference in performance and image quality is huge. GTA V is finally where it needs to be for PC players after waiting years for this update to arrive. The improvements aren't just visual, though, with loading times also improved massively, provided you're using an SSD.

The GTA V system requirements have been adjusted for this new version of the game, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU is now part of the recommended specs. GTA V Legacy will stay live for now, if you're worried your PC can't handle the new version, but certain online features may be inaccessible.

The GTA 5 Enhanced PC edition already has mixed reviews, despite 180,000 players

Somehow, we live in a reality where we've gotten a new version of Grand Theft Auto 5 - a Grand Theft Auto 5: 2, if you will - before GTA 6. It's an unusual world, but then again, it's nice to have an excuse to revisit Los Santos one final time. The GTA 5 Enhanced PC edition is finally here, bringing with it a bundle of visual and audio enhancements, faster loading times, and all the improvements previously reserved for console-based GTA+ players. It sounds good, but despite a huge influx of players in its opening few hours, the new Grand Theft Auto 5 is struggling to attract adulation.

If you're hyped for GTA 5 Enhanced, Rockstar just shared some good news

I'm almost intimidated by GTA 6 - I've been covering games for the best part of 15 years now, but it's hard to remember a launch where there's this much anticipation and expectation. Before Rockstar goes back to Vice City, however, there's one last big change coming to the Grand Theft Auto 5 PC version. Better visuals, improved menus, new vehicles, and updated controls are all part of the impending next-gen update. With the GTA 5 Enhanced Steam page already live, you can get even better prepared for launch by preloading right now.

Pre-Load the Free Grand Theft Auto V PC Upgrade Now

The upcoming upgrade for Grand Theft Auto V on PC is now available to pre-load. This new version — with highly requested features previously only available in the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions including new vehicles and performance upgrades, access to subscribe to GTA+, and much more — arrives on March 4 and is available for free to all players who currently own GTAV on PC. Anyone who already owns GTAV will see GTAV Enhanced available in their library to begin pre-loading. The existing version for PC has been renamed GTAV Legacy — which will continue to be supported. Beginning today, you can also preemptively migrate your Story Mode progress to the new version, directly from the Pause Menu inside GTAV Legacy on PC. Please note, you can update the Story Mode Save Game uploaded to Rockstar Games multiple times — overwriting the previously uploaded Save Game each time — but you can only migrate it to GTAV Enhanced once, and while you will be able to continue playing from where you left off in GTAV Legacy, progress cannot be copied back. On March 4, once the free upgrade is available, you'll be able to migrate your Story Mode progress and GTA Online character progress from within GTAV Enhanced. The GTA Online transfer is also a one-time migration that does not delete your GTAV Legacy progress, but it cannot be reversed, and includes any Characters, GTA$, Progression, Stats, Vehicles, Properties, Weapons, Clothing, and Player-Created Jobs. Players on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One can still only migrate Story Mode and Online progress to PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. Profiles cannot be migrated between PlayStation or Xbox console families and PC. For more info on this free GTAV PC upgrade, including technical enhancement details and recommended specs, please check out our previous announcement.

Performing Hamlet in GTA Online felt like going back in time to the Globe Theatre where 'people would just throw apples at you, or there were prostitutes coming and going,' say award-winning filmmakers



In 2021, actors Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen were whiling away the Covid lockdowns in GTA Online when they had an idea: "Why not stage Hamlet inside the game?" They recorded hundreds of hours of in-game attempts to perform Shakespeare amid the chaos of GTA 5 and put together a feature-length documentary, Grand Theft Hamlet, which has now won multiple awards, earned a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, and will premiere in US theaters on January 17...

GTA Online: Agents of Sabotage

[previewyoutube=4I2DHMlCGsE;full][/previewyoutube] Go underground with a disgruntled ex-operative and an excitable submariner to steal military secrets, uncover IAA corruption, retrieve stolen art, and bust a billion-dollar enterprise in GTA Online: Agents of Sabotage. Own a piece of Los Santos history by taking over the Darnell Bros Garment Factory, and employ the latest clandestine technology alongside your criminal know-how to take on The FIB Files — a series of new multi-part scores. Plus, clean up the streets in new vigilante Dispatch Work, and much more. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/a95f7b991f027e4c0705138f1610a35f444d6ce2.jpg[/img] DARNELL BROS GARMENT FACTORY Once upon a time, Darnell Bros Garment Factory was home to the greatest heist Los Santos had ever known. Now, this legendary HQ is prepped for a brand-new shadow operation. Former FIB agent Jodi Marshall, armed with a grudge against her former employers and backdoor access to their data network, is ready to hit every major authority in the state. Jodi’s dragged Helmsman Pavel out of the depths and is looking to combine her access and technical skills with his smuggling proficiency and your criminal acumen to execute a series of high-stakes, high-tech scores targeting the city’s super-rich and the military-industrial complex. Answer Pavel’s call, then visit the Garment Factory in East Los Santos (or use the Maze Bank Foreclosures in-game website) to get started. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/90ecad33e0f94261a4b2c7448807c7adfeb540fa.jpg[/img] The Garment Factory also comes equipped with a Mk II Weapon Workshop, Personal Quarters, a passive income safe, 10 Personal Vehicle storage slots, and more. The Garment Factory Basement Garage also provides access to the city’s underground pathways, allowing you to quickly travel to and from Burton Station, Del Perro Station, La Mesa Subway, LSIA Parking Station, and the Tataviam Truckstop. These off-radar spots are only marked on your map if you get close, so dropping a Point of Interest on them could help you move around efficiently. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/98c578362645b191a3ee6e5e8cafa26eadaa0029.jpg[/img] THE FIB FILES Once you’ve made introductions, toured the factory space, and have the Darnell Inc. app installed on your iFruit, you’ll have access to The FIB Files. Jodi requires your expertise to snatch up some valuables to sell to interested buyers around Los Santos. Master your hacking, infiltrating, and technical sabotage skills in four new multi-stage endeavors as you bring down an IAA-protected aircraft, steal military tech from under Fort Zancudo, execute a stealth break-in to recover missing artwork, and penetrate Maze Bank’s secret slush fund. TIP: Downloading the Darnell Inc. app will add a new icon to your iFruit home screen. If you’re looking for Quick Join or Settings, flip to the second page of your apps. A select assignment will be designated a Priority File with an increased GTA$ payout that can only be completed once weekly. Prep for these scores and then complete the Finale to earn GTA$ and trinkets to adorn your desk inside the Garment Factory. Complete optional mission challenges that test your ability to perform under pressure for bonus GTA$ and new Career Progress rewards. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/ea5db7bedd86dd36f6380d20ed549de2983d73d1.jpg[/img] NEW TERRORBYTE UPGRADES Thanks to a creative blend of espionage and blackmail, Jodi can add several new upgrades to the Benefactor Terrorbyte — which is also now storable inside the Garment Factory. Bureau Tech gives you exclusive mods that will introduce new features such as managing businesses, easily finding certain collectibles, and staying undetectable. Owning the Garment Factory unlocks these new upgrades for the Terrorbyte so make sure you’ve got your own command truck — available from Warstock Cache & Carry for anyone yet to procure this menacing rolling tech fortress. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/254a1d81e7d33ed7e90f945631a41130295b4f25.jpg[/img] NEW VEHICLES: BRAVADO BANSHEE GTS AND MORE There is a convoy of new vehicles arriving in Agents of Sabotage, including a new addition to Bravado’s storied Banshee line — the Banshee GTS. Also available at Southern San Andreas Super Autos is the Chavos V6, a new Sedan addition to Dinka’s reliable fleet. Missile Lock-On Jammer compatibility has been added to 50 popular vehicles, including select Law Enforcement Vehicles, the Pegassi Zentorno (Super), and the select rides returning to Legendary Motorsport’s inventory — the Annis RE-7B (Super), Annis S80RR (Super), and Ocelot XA-21 (Super). Apply this Imani Tech at your Agency Vehicle Workshop. Several vehicles are returning to the available inventory at Legendary Motorsport and Southern San Andreas Super Autos, including the Benefactor Stirling GT (Sports Classic). [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/3e6672960b622803168e16b954075efd38c06b32.jpg[/img] NEW CUSTOM JESTER RR WIDEBODY Those in the market for a new custom ride with stunning looks won’t want to miss the new Dinka Jester RR Widebody (Sports), pre-stocked by Dinka’s sports modification team with custom mods, upgrades, wheels, and more. Now on sale in the Luxury Autos showroom and the Legendary Motorsport website, the Dinka Jester RR Widebody is a reimagining of a classic, reupholstered from the tires up. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/161c49ca9e0dc35c76a55ed9950b5d985da40502.jpg[/img] NEW LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES Run crime off the road with law enforcement versions of the brawny Canis Terminus Patrol and muscular Vapid Caracara Pursuit. As with the other off-the-grid LSPD vehicles, you’ll need to speak to Vincent to complete Slush Fund as part of The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid as leader to unlock these rides. Completing the new Dispatch Work missions will unlock their Trade Prices. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/99da3cae34925efd757bfbdf578a21980aa39156.jpg[/img] NEW DISPATCH WORK Cleaning up the streets requires the right equipment. Vincent’s got two new Dispatch Work missions he needs help with, including rescuing an undercover informant and repossessing a drug operation running out of the back of a food truck. In addition to curbing local crime, completing these missions will unlock Trade Price discounts for upcoming Law Enforcement Vehicles. You might notice LSPD officers leading a new community outreach initiative, showing off their sparkling lowrider and supercar variants of patrol cars in at-risk neighborhoods as part of an effort to drum up recruitment. Successfully stealing and outmaneuvering the pursuing officers is a great way of trying out these new Law Enforcement Vehicles before they’re made available for purchase in the coming weeks. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/34af0cc7714db56d53b48e154c35598887aa4c71.jpg[/img] THE HEIST CHALLENGE REWARDS As reward for successfully hitting the GTA$20 TRILLION target in The Heist Challenge, anyone who completed an eligible Heist Finale between November 7 and December 4 will receive the NOOSE Outfit, while the Police Predator (Boat) is now free to claim for all players from Warstock through December 15. AND MORE TO COME… Look out for lots more, including festive gifts for the holiday season, the arrival of new Stunt Races with a Lunar New Year twist, new Drift Races, additional Transform Race tools coming to the Rockstar Creator, and much more. As part of this update, we’re implementing another round of experience improvements, including permanently boosting payouts for Drift and Drag Races, and automatically granting Body Armor when launching (and relaunching) missions. Players driving Law Enforcement Vehicles can also now toggle through siren options. Check out these and other update notes at Rockstar Support, and stay up to date with everything going on in GTA Online at the Newswire.

Rockstar wants its games to run better on Steam Deck despite GTA Online debacle

In a fresh update for the Rockstar launcher, the studio behind the iconic Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption franchises is trying to make its games run better on Steam Deck. This is despite recently willfully removing compatibility for the online portion of GTA 5.

The Steam Deck is still the best handheld gaming PC on the market as an all-around package, and Rockstar will be aware of this situation given the popularity of its games, particularly Grand Theft Auto 5, on the handheld. It frequently features in the most-played games each month, but a recent update made GTA 5 Unsupported on Steam Deck.

Over a million players have flooded back into GTA Online to check out a new Call of Duty-like zombie mode



Last week, Rockstar Games announced a new limited-time zombie mode for GTA Online that would see hordes of the undead let loose around North Yankton.

GTA 5 and Shakespeare together at last thanks to new documentary movie

Something is rotten in the state of Los Santos. No, not the normal amount of violence, robbery, and bad driving, but the fact that people won't leave some poor filmmakers alone to perform Shakespeare's Hamlet. Grand Theft Hamlet is a documentary all about the attempt to bring a little culture to GTA 5, and if you're in the US you might be able to go to a theater to watch it for yourself.

GTA 5 just became 'Unsupported' on Steam Deck

In a rather remarkable move, Rockstar has added BattlEye anti-cheat to GTA Online, more than a decade since it was first released, and it's had a major impact on GTA 5's Steam Deck compatibility. The hugely popular game is now classed as 'Unsupported' on Valve's handheld, a move that doesn't quite tell the whole story.

We consider the Steam Deck to be the best handheld gaming PC, but its Linux-based SteamOS sometimes negatively impacts game compatibility. This has now happened with Grand Theft Auto 5, but there's more to this story than meets the eye, and Rockstar want people to know the game still works on the handheld, technically.

Rockstar adds GTA 5 BattlEye anti-cheat to combat the hacker problem

Both Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online now appear to have BattlEye anti-cheat. Players are reporting the software on start-up, and it looks as though Rockstar has added the tool to the Steam backend. Rampant cheating has been a problem in GTA Online for years, but BattlEye should make it harder for most. Rockstar has also already had to deal with a major remote hacker problem in GTA last year, so implementing BattlEye should help with the issue.

Battle It Out Across the Ground, Sea, and Skies in Assault on ATT-16

What do you call a black ops team staging an all-out assault on Fort Zancudo? Answer: Stage One. Stage Two is where it really gets interesting: a full-scale offensive dismantling of an aircraft carrier’s defenses, opening the door of its hangar, and commandeering the F-160 Raiju jet inside. Assault on ATT-16 is the explosive new high-stakes GTA Online Adversary Mode that pits two teams against each other across five different stages in the air, on the ground, and at sea. Reaching each new stage escalates the conflict. Attackers can increase their cash reward by stealing hard drives from servers set up at each stage, while Defenders get a boost if these remain untouched. Finding and delivering a supply truck can upgrade the Attacking team’s Rogue plane that’s available on respawn with extra armor, speed, and weapon modifications — and both teams can utilize the cataclysmic Orbital Cannon Terminal to rain fire down from above. Enter the fray by heading over to the blip outside of Fort Zancudo or by opening your iFruit > Quick Join > Series Modes > Assault on ATT-16. During its inaugural week, Assault on ATT-16 will award 2X GTA$ and RP, while winning two times will complete the Weekly Challenge and result in a GTA$100,000 bonus. You can also measure your success with dedicated Pause Menu Awards. 2X GTA$ AND RP ON LSA OPERATIONS Join up with the Los Santos Angels in high-flying LSA Operations to board an aircraft carrier under the cover of darkness, call in an airstrike, and use an EMP to force a blackout on a government outpost. Use the Operations Terminal inside your Avenger or contact Charlie Reed from your iFruit to launch LSA Operations and reap 2X GTA$ and RP through August 28. 2X GTA$ AND RP ON BUSINESS BATTLES Compete against your fellow aspiring corporate criminals in Freemode to steal and deliver cargo in Business Battles, paying out Double Rewards through August 28.

Here's how and why GTA Online hacks are still ruining Red Dead 2

You've probably seen the videos. Since Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on PC late last year, hackers have been griefing Red Dead Online players. Some have had their characters burnt alive, while others have been framed for murders they didn't commit. Reddit is also stuffed with oddities such as one player being turned into a moving ball of animal carcasses - think Katamari Damacy meets Dark Souls. More recent exploits have revolved around money.

Last month a forum post went up warning players that modders can now drain their in-game cash. Several players I spoke to explain that the reported exploit works by increasing the frequency of your camp upkeep fee from every hour to every second. As you can see in the video below from Zerdical, the fee on the mid-right keeps ticking up.

Red Dead Online has two forms of currency, though - cash, which is earned in-game, and gold bars that can be bought for real money. I ask Zerdical if the exploit could be used to drain gold as well as your in-game money. "Only cash that you have earned," they explain. "What these modders have done is loop your in-game daily fees, which only takes away cash. I can't say for certain, but from my knowledge of Red Dead Online gold cannot be drained."

Former GTA developer Lazlow Jones thinks real-life believers in its parody of Scientology not only might exist, but once called him to say Kifflom

You remember the Epsilon Program? It's basically the GTA series' parody of Scientology and other religions with rather out there beliefs which, at least to the cynic like you or I, can often sound a bit like cults or pyramid schemes. Well, during GTA 5's development, ex-Rockstar developer and everyone's favourite in-game radio host Lazlow Jones reckons he recieved a real life phone call from some folks who actually believe in the ways of Kifflom.

This comes from an interview with IGN which largely saw Jones discuss what he's currently doing with Absurd Ventures, the studio he co-founded with Dan Houser after leaving the studio that's now starting to near the end of the road to bringing us GTA 6.

Back when he was still at Rockstar and working on GTA 5, Jones says he recieved a phone call from a woman claiming to represent a group of real-life Epsilon Program followers, who told him they were "dying to know more" about the clearly not real religion first developed for GTA San Andreas.

Hoping GTA 6 will be "wildly different" to GTA 5? Well, a GTA 4 technical director reckons Rockstar will have had a tough time making a big jump

The hype train for GTA 6 is already well and truly chugging along at this point. However, if you're hoping it'll offer an experience that's "wildly different" to GTA 5 in terms of being a huge step forward from a technical standpoint, a long-time Rockstar developer reckons you might want to keep your expectations in check a bit.

In an interview with YouTube channel SanInPlay, Obbe Vermeij, who served as a techincal director at Rockstar from 1995 to 2009, touched on the topic of expectations for this next entry in the series. He offered some interesting perspective as to why he thinks Rockstar may well have faced a big challenge - at least in comparison to previous titles in the series - when it comes to the idea of making a huge leap forwards with GTA 6.

"I don't think it's going to be wildly different to GTA 5," said Vermeij, who worked on GTAs 3 through 4 before leaving the studio in 2009, "I think people might be a little disappointed on the first day, but it's still gonna be the best game out there."

GTA Online adds a quality-of-life feature players have wanted for years then upsets everyone by paywalling it: 'One of the slimiest things they've done in a while'



There's one quality-of-life feature that GTA Online players have wanted pretty much since the game came out, and Rockstar's just got around to implementing it—behind a paywall. GTA Online's latest event is called Bottom Dollar Bounties and focuses on letting players live that Dog the Bounty Hunter life in Los Santos, but it also adds the new Vinewood Club app to in-game phones...

GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties Out Now

[previewyoutube=JJec5UOmg2Q;full][/previewyoutube] After a dedicated career tracking down the state’s most wanted, notorious bounty hunter Maude Eccles is hanging up her cuffs and offering a golden opportunity to those with a burning passion for justice in GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties, now available. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/4ac4e3fe60b0a6ae6319e50d5ca78bb2b982fc85.jpg[/img] As the new lead dog for Bottom Dollar Bail Enforcement, link up with the Junior Assistant Bounty Hunter in training — Maude’s daughter Jenette — to run this clean-up crew, taking down an assortment of valuable targets, including some of Southern San Andreas’ Most Wanted. Become just the type of agent of justice the state needs by tracking down and hauling in these dangerous miscreants — utilizing everything from ruthless intimidation tactics to thwarting further criminal activity — in the latest action-packed addition to GTA Online. In this summer’s update, LSPD officer Vincent Effenburger also needs your help in new off-the-books Dispatch Work. Plus, enjoy a wide assortment of new rides including new Law Enforcement Vehicles, new Drift Tuning upgrades for select vehicles, as well as new tools and props in the Creator. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/e6feb84d680c6b8317dba09edf43b1a6275f5ce8.jpg[/img] SET UP SHOP The Bottom Dollar Bail Enforcement Office provides everything you need to start hauling in bounties and earning a hero’s wage. After Maude makes contact, visit Maze Bank Foreclosures to choose from an assortment of available locations. Each one includes a Bail Enforcement System computer that lists available targets to choose from: three Standard Targets and one Most Wanted Target. There’s also a holding cell for those you’ve apprehended, CCTV access, a safe, and a garage space with room for two Personal Vehicles and the Bottom Dollar-branded Bail Enforcement van used for shepherding captured criminals. Customize your office by choosing one of three different styles, up to two additional staff members for boosting efficiency, a gun locker, and armor plating for your van. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/00e7455a9c5141bcc30c4207a7c4a5dbc89ade13.jpg[/img] LOS SANTOS MOST WANTED While Standard Targets are more likely to be your garden variety lowlifes, the Most Wanted Targets are the upper echelon of criminal scum: CEOs, movie stars, legendary street racers, and the like. Most Wanted Targets can be completed once per day, while ambitious bounty hunters can wrangle as many Standard Targets as they want. It also pays to remember this ain’t the Wild West — both Standard and Most Wanted Targets are considerably more valuable alive than dead, so be cautious when doling out lethal force, even when dealing with the most intense stand-offs. Non-lethal equipment like the Stun Gun can prove useful when attempting to subdue targets. You can use the Bail Enforcement van to safely haul live Bounties back to your holding cell, or if need be, deliver their remains to LS County Coroners. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/a4e53f0cc2ead11c5a8ffb8517b98929307461e5.jpg[/img] STREET JUSTICE The Eccles family aren’t the only ones trying to clean up Los Santos. Vincent’s become frustrated recently by the LSPD’s corruption, and he’s not above asking for help. To take part in new Dispatch Work in Freemode, meet with Vincent and make sure you’ve completed the Slush Fund mission in The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid to unlock any of the three new Law Enforcement Vehicles available today at Warstock Cache & Carry, or use previously unlocked Law Enforcement Vehicles like the Stanier LE Cruiser and Unmarked Cruiser from The Chop Shop, or the Bravado Gauntlet Interceptor from The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid. Once inside an eligible vehicle, you can request Dispatch Work or accept Vincent’s invitation. Moonlighting as an off-the-books enforcer does require you to keep a low profile — so retire your CEO, VIP, or MC President status before taking on Dispatch Work. NEW LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES This update also adds a trio of Law Enforcement Vehicles requisitioned from local authorities that are useful for aspiring vigilantes, and also allow you to take part in Dispatch Work for Vincent: • Declasse Impaler SZ Cruiser • Bravado Greenwood Cruiser • Bravado Dorado Cruiser Available now to purchase from Warstock Cache & Carry if you've completed the Slush Fund mission in The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid. NEW VEHICLES GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties features a collection of versatile new vehicles across an assortment of classes. The luxurious Enus Paragon S (Sports) and the stunning Bollokan Envisage (Sports) are both tremendously capable off the lot, and made even more powerful with Imani Tech modifications available at your Agency. The Übermacht Niobe (Sports) is the best of both worlds: gas-guzzling speed and power with a hybrid’s superiority complex, while the Annis Euros X32 (Coupe) is a new spin on a glorious classic. Today’s update also introduces the curvaceous Invetero Coquette D1 (Sports Classic) and the rugged Declasse Yosemite 1500 (Off-Road). [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/a90db0e143de28daa87137b84f88a27a5005df9d.jpg[/img] DRIFT TUNING UPDATES Take on the city’s drift racing scene by installing Drift Tuning in three newly eligible vehicles — the Vulcar Nebula Turbo (Sports Classic), Übermacht Cypher (Sports), and Übermacht Sentinel Classic Widebody (Sports). Plus, drift fanatics can get seen on the scene with an assortment of bold new liveries only available for vehicles with Drift Tuning. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/6144970/08c2c093aa0c36c7fe8f5adf0863e6437f8ead1e.jpg[/img] AND MORE... Today’s update also brings increased base GTA$ payouts for many activities — including Open Wheel Races, Taxi Work, A Superyacht Life, Lowriders Missions, Operation Paper Trail, Casino Story Missions, Gerald’s Last Play, Madrazo’s Dispatch Services, Premium Deluxe Repo Work, and Project Overthrow. Solo players will also benefit from an increased timer when taking on Gunrunning and Biker Sell Missions. Creators are also now able to construct their own Drift and Drag Races from scratch using new tools, props, and placeable Actors including drivers doing donuts, lowriders using hydraulics, animated crowds, and more. Testing Races is also easier now that creators can launch tests from any checkpoint of their choosing. Improvements have also been made to Assault on Cayo Perico, including balancing changes. For the full list of all of today’s updates and changes to GTA Online, see the full update notes here. STILL TO COME… If you enjoy hunting down targets, Martin Madrazo will also need help later this summer tracking down and taking out Daily Bounties. You’ll also be able to hop on a Pegassi Pizza Boy scooter and help Pizza This... deliver piping hot pies around Los Santos. And look forward to more explosive gameplay and events, including Independence Day, a Halloween trip to North Yankton’s Ludendorff Cemetery, an exciting new multi-stage head-to-head mode, a new community Heist Challenge, and more. Stay tuned to the Newswire in the weeks ahead for more information on what’s in store for GTA Online all throughout the summer and beyond.

GTA Online's big summer update will let you live out your reality TV bounty hunting dreams, via a new business

Good news, people who're still playing GTA Online, Rockstar's just revealed the new thing its next major update - which is coming this summer - will let your protagonist add to their ever-growing CV. It's professional bounty hunting, in case you were wondering.

After all, what better way to get ready for GTA 6 in fall 2025 and the array of sweaty Florida men it'll use to shape its unique experience, than by taking on the guise of a sweaty, gun-toting vigilante who's basically allowed to use whatever means necessary to enforce the rules of a justice system, right? Ok, so maybe the only thing it'll adequately prep you for is wearing aviators 24/7.

As noted in Rockstar's latest newswire post, this "next major update" to GTA 5's huge online bit will let you found "your very own bail enforcement and bounty hunting business" - expanding your investment portfolio into yet another scummy corner of the market. While it'll let you "clean up the roving reprobates of Southern San Andreas", it's unclear whether this update'll include any changes to the exciting system that exists for putting collectable bounties on other players.

GTA 5 set to depart PlayStation Plus after six months, in terrible news for the three people who're still yet to play it

If you've somehow yet to play GTA 5 (first of all, this is a gaming site, how did you get here?) here's some sad news. It's set to depart PlayStation Plus' Extra tier next month, having only joined the serive back in December 2023.

Yup, your plan to desperately burn through the series for the first time and become a GTA expert before GTA 6 drops in fall 2025 without paying retail price for at least one entry in it is in tatters. My condolences. You'll just have to watch last year's first GTA 6 trailer over and over again until the time comes.

The journeying of Michael, Franklin and Trevor's adventure into the PS Plus sunset has been confirmed thanks to the PlayStation Store's 'last chance to play' page (thanks, PushSquare). June 18 is the fateful date when you'll have to kiss goodbye to the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game, probably with tears in your eyes.
