Rockstar Games posted a new crop of 10 Verified Jobs created with GTA Online‘s Creator tools, and the race-heavy selection – eight out of the 10 – is loose in its definition of what qualifies as a “road.” The 11-mile “Riding the Tracks” isn’t just the longest Verified race yet, it’s also a full circuit of Los Santos’ and Blaine County’s rail line. No auto traffic, but speeding trains to contend with in both directions.

There’s also GTA Online‘s first Verified air race, “Final Destination,” three different motorbike races, and the cleverly titled “White Cars Can’t Jump,” which sees racers hitting jump ramps and sailing through open train cars. The whole collection is rounded out by a new pair of Team Deathmatch maps, one in the heart of the city and the other outside it.

GTA Online‘s Verified Jobs are entered into the “official” queue, meaning they’ll pop up among the Jobs that originally shipped with or were later added to GTA V‘s online mode. They’re available in both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game (unlike non-Verified player creations, which are restricted by platform), though Rockstar occasionally makes slight tweaks – to everything from a job’s title to individual spawn points/checkpoints – aimed at improving the experience.

Head over to Rockstar Games’ Newswire blog for a peek at the new Verified Jobs and a direct Social Club link for each one that lets you add it to your game from your browser (after you’ve signed into your Social Club account, of course).

We need to see these 3 things in Grand Theft Auto 6’s first trailer

gta 6 first trailer speculation v

It’s almost time. After over a decade of waiting, we’ll finally get our first look at the next Grand Theft Auto game sometime this December. When it arrives, the Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal will be one of the biggest video game industry announcements of the year, regardless of what Rockstar Games shows. Despite that, there are specific things that the GTA 6 reveal trailer needs to tell us to live up to its hype.

Although Rockstar has said little about the project before now, GTA 6 might be one of the most anticipated games ever, and it’s following up one of the most successful individual video games of all time. Speculation on where this game will be set, what it will be about, and what innovations it will bring to the medium have been rampant for years. I know this because I’ve played a part in this hype cycle myself -- and this very article is adding to it right now.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is getting its first trailer sooner than you think

After a decades-long wait, Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally making its formal debut. Rockstar announced that the first trailer for the anticipated open-world game will drop in early December.

It's no stretch to call Grand Theft Auto 6 the most anticipated video game of all time. It's been 10 years since the mega-successful Grand Theft Auto 5 launched and fans have been itching for news on a sequel since. That impatience boiled over last year when Rockstar suffered a major security breach that saw early footage from the game leaking. Now the studio is finally ready to reveal the game on its own terms.

The best GTA characters of all-time

The protagonists of GTA V pose for the camera.

Ever since the GTA franchise became what it is today with Grand Theft Auto 3, Rockstar has packed their worlds full of colorful and rich characters. While we've only been able to control male characters up until now (though that is set to change if the GTA 6 rumors are true), they have all had distinct and interesting personalities and stories. That said, sometimes it's the side characters that can steal the show too. Looking back at the entire series, we've come up with our picks for the best GTA characters of all time.
Carl 'CJ' Johnson -- GTA: San Andreas

Good old Carl Johnson, better known as CJ, is way more than just a meme. San Andreas was the second game in the series to really focus on character in a major way, and the team nailed it with their lead. Not only was the entire cast filled with bonafide actors, but CJ's personal story as a gang member whose mother is murdered was far more nuanced and emotional than the media would lead you to believe. The real draw was the relationship CJ had with the main antagonist Officer Tenpenny (who may or may not be mentioned later on). This game set the standard for how Rockstar would reveal more about the characters and world through casual conversation throughout the story.
