    Look, all I can say is I bought it on sale last December and my friends and I have had an absolute blast playing it.

    We've robbed banks, planned private island heists and saved the world.

    We're doing the races at the minute and we were crying with laughter last night.

    Before that, I stole a plane, jumped out of it, then parachuted onto my personal submarine.

    Anyhoo, those of us still enjoying the game there are some updates coming.



    Details on New Updates to GTA Online and Red Dead Online
    Plus Grand Theft Auto V Coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 11th, and More

    "An assortment of new updates to both GTA Online and Red Dead Online are on the way throughout May and the summer months, bringing some of the most frequently fan-requested additions to each game along with a host of new items, quality of life updates, and much more.

    Deadline, Stunt Racing and Survival
    GTA Online

    In Los Santos, car culture is back on the streets in a big way, with new opportunities for fans of performance and customization upgrades to get together with like-minded gearheads to test and show off their rides free from interference from authorities and other troublemakers. The renewed interest is bringing a new underground car meet into the area, along with new additions to the local racing scene — and demand for stolen vehicles has never been higher.

    Expect high stakes and high action as crews hit the streets to get hold of the latest vehicles on the hot list, challenge each other in new race types, or take part in a series of multi-part robbery missions, where a precisely modified getaway vehicle will be your best weapon — all later this summer.

    To help gear up for GTA Online’s summer update, eight new Stunt Races are right around the corner, coming to the GTA Online Stunt Series on May 27th. These new tracks will introduce an array of white-knuckle thrills for stunt racers in an assortment of vehicle classes.

    Shortly thereafter, fans of the futuristic Deadline mode will get seven new arenas in which to obliterate opponents with their Shotaro bike’s explosive light trail. If eradicating waves of armed resistance is more your appetite, Survival mode will also expand to new locations throughout Los Santos and Blaine County.

    The expanded and enhanced versions of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online are arriving on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S with new features and more, on November 11th, 2021. As an added bonus — this summer's updates to GTA Online will include special benefits for players to take advantage of in these expanded and enhanced versions when they drop. Plus, in honor of the upcoming 20th anniversary of the genre defining Grand Theft Auto III, we’ll have even more fun surprises to share — including some specifically for GTA Online players.

    While the standalone version of GTA Online will be available to players on both platforms, this new standalone version of GTA Online will be available for free exclusively to PlayStation 5 players during the first three months. And PlayStation Plus members on PlayStation 4, make sure to claim your GTA$1,000,000 by visiting the PlayStation Store at the start of each month — every month until the launch of GTA Online on PlayStation 5.

    With much more to be revealed, stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for details on future updates, weekly bonus-filled events and more in the weeks and months ahead."

      GTA online I played with a bunch of people from work back on the ps3 and ill easily say its the most chaotic fun I've ever had. It's was just a sea of helicopter crashes, explosions, police shootouts, ice cream vans and madness. I never laughed so much.
      But...lets move on now. Give me a new playground.

        If they're going to release two generation old GTA games, I wish they'd do it with GTAIV which I felt was a superior game in almost every way.

          I'd be happy to have GTA4 rereleased... completely retooled to play like V. I'm in the opposite camp - 4 being the worst of the 3D era GTAs

            The long-lived Grand Theft Auto Online will finally shut down its PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 servers on 16th December 2…

            The servers for Grand Theft Auto Online on PS3 and X360 will end later this year bringing a finale to support for the only generation the damned game should have been focused on.

              GTA Online Adding PS5 Exclusive Car Speed Tune-Ups This Year
              Los Santos Tuners update coming on 20th July

              "GTA Online players will be able to unleash their inner petrol head this summer, as Rockstar readies the release of the game’s next major expansion: Los Santos Tuners. Due out on 20th July, this digs deeply into car culture, and promises a “gigantic, shared social space” where you can mingle with other drivers, show off your favourite whips, and compete.

              You’ll find the “good vibes only” space on the outskirts of the Cypress Flats, just listen for the roar of engines inside a graffitied warehouse. Drop GTA$50,000 to get a membership, which will give you access to the Test Track, a “large underground space inside the Car Meet warehouse where you and your friends can drive, drift, and race vehicles freely, without interference”.

              There’ll also be a variety of Test Rides for members to drive, in addition to rotating Prize Rides which you’ll be able to unlock by completing challenges. A new set of races will round out the package, all contributing to a new progress bar named Rep, which will unlock a variety of bonuses, including gear and car customisations.

              A total of 10 new cars will be added day one as part of the update, with a further seven rotated in throughout the summer. And here’s the headline tidbit: “When GTA Online launches on the PS5 later this year, select vehicles will be upgradable with all new speed improvements and more.” So, you’re going to be able to drive through Los Santos faster than ever before on Sony’s next-gen console."

              If you can’t wait that long, then login any time between now and 20th July to get the Los Santos Customs Tee for free, and hit up any Impromptu Race for the Los Santos Tour Jacket. If you manage to sell a vehicle to Los Santos Customs during the same time period, you’ll get some bonus coveralls to boot.

                Definitely excited by the look of this. It's car culture without the toxic tweenies blowing everything up.

                          Is the fun GTA3 surprise some kind of new takedown notice of fan-created content on a modding site?

                            Don't forget to buy those shark dollars.

                              After QC's campaigning on behalf of this, I am actually in for giving it a try with some friends. I'm going to wait for the PS5 version, though. I feel dirty just writing this.

                              The casino heist, the Cayo Perico heist, and this street racing stuff all sound like a lot of fun tbh.

                                If you can get away without the microtransactions, go for it. Given how much money this is still raking in year-on-year, there seem to be a lot of people happy to buy funny money tho. I think I very briefly tried the online part of it at a LAN party, so I've really no idea how embedded the MTs are within the in-game economy.
