Rockstar Games is set to expand its GTA Online sandbox on March 4 with the release of the free Business Update DLC pack via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The add-on introduces some new toys for your virtual sociopaths to play with, including new vehicles and weapons. Note that all of the below items are added to your character profile in story mode for free, but you’ve got to buy them from their respective stores in GTA Online.

For those that like speeding out on the open road, the Albany Alpha, Dinka Jester, and Grotti Turismo R form a trio of shiny, new sports cars for you to buy. The more affluent residents of Los Santos can pony up instead to buy the Vestra airplane (pictured above). Of course, this being Grand Theft Auto, you’ll need some firearms to go with your drivables. Ammu-Nation will add the Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine to its shelves once the update goes live.

There’s more, too. GTA Online emphasis on player customization expands even further with the Business Update, thanks to an assortment of new suit jackets, slacks, glasses, heels, and blouses, as well as new “business hairstyles” (huh?) and “currency-themed tattoos.” You’ll also be able to pick up some new masks, which should be fun to play with if the game’s long-promised co-op heists mode ever arrives.

Speaking of future content, Rockstar’s Newswire post promises that more details are coming soon on a variety of topics, including the Capture Creator update, new Assassination and Flight School missions for story mode, and – yes – Online Heists.

The most underrated Final Fantasy game is coming to PS Plus this month

Garland towers over Jack, Ash, Jed, Sophia, and Neon in

Sony unveiled December 2023's new titles for PlayStation Plus Premium and the Extra Game Catalog, and it contains some heavy hitters. While the addition of the PlayStation 4 and PS5 versions of Grand Theft Auto V will probably be the biggest draw for most players, I want to shout out the addition of what might be the most underrated modern Final Fantasy game: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.

Released in March 2022, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is technically a prequel to the original Final Fantasy that reveals the origin story of that game's villain, Garland. In reality, Stranger of Paradise becomes a metacontextual analysis of the cyclical nature of the Final Fantasy series, serving as both a celebration and a biting critique of one of gaming's oldest RPG franchises. It also features one of the most bonkers video game endings I've ever experienced, so going through the adventure is worth it for that alone. Thankfully, it's enjoyable to play along the way as a more approachable class-based Soulslike from Team Ninja, the developer behind NioH and next year's Rise of the Ronin.

Grand Theft Auto VI didn’t need The Game Awards

This past week was one of the most crowded for video game news because of two events: The Game Awards 2023 and the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. Initially, I was surprised the two weren’t one and the same. GTA 6’s reveal is the most significant game announcement of the year, after all, and Geoff Keighley always seems to be searching for big Elden Ring- or GTA 6-level moments for his show, even if he doesn’t always get those. After taking a step back and looking at how each performed independently of the other, I think both were better off staying separate.
Taking center stage
When it first teased the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer in November, it said the trailer would be released “in early December.” Like many others, I assumed that this meant it would show up at The Game Awards because that tends to be the case when game developers tease an announcement for that window. For example, Focus Entertainment also said a release date for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 would be confirmed “in early December,” and that ended up happening during The Game Awards.

Ultimately, Rockstar had the GTA 6 trailer slated to release on the morning of December 5, but ended up releasing it on the night of December 4 due to a leak. The game would not go on to make any marketing-related appearance at The Game Awards 2023 on December 7. Although GTA 6 skirted The Game Awards, was leaked, and got posted earlier than intended, it was still a groundbreaking reveal.

5 key details we noticed in the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer

Rockstar finally dropped the first trailer for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 on Monday night after it leaked early. In less than 24 hours, it has already amassed over 77 million views. Outside of what's featured in the trailer, Rockstar isn't revealing much more about GTA 6. Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser simply stated in a press release that Rockstar wants to "push the limits of what’s possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences."
