GTA Online grows with a new crop of Rockstar Verified Jobs

Add as a preferred source on Google

Rockstar Games always had big ambitions for GTA Online – the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V – but the addition of content creation tools for gamers to take advantage of opened up a whole new realm of possibility. Now, in addition to whatever DLC Rockstar pumps out, there’s a never-ending supply of user-created activities to participate in. Every once in awhile, Rockstar selects a handful of these to be labeled as Verified Jobs, at which point they become available in both versions of the game, regardless of whether the original was created on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

The latest crop of 10 Rockstar Verified Jobs goes heavy on the racing, with eight of the selections focused on beating everyone else to the finish line. The remaining two are just about beating people… with guns, with melee weapons, with fists, whatever you prefer, really. This is Grand Theft Auto. No one’s judging you. Just be wary when you bring a virtual knife to a virtual gunfight.

The easiest way to access these jobs is through Rockstar’s Social Club website. You create an account, link it with your console profile, and then shuttle to the desired job and click the “Add To Game” tab. You can find more info about the 10 new jobs and their creators on Rockstar’s Newswire blog.

Sony is preparing to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, ending new purchases globally by July 2027. Less than two weeks after that announcement, the team behind RPCS3 revealed a very different milestone.

The open-source PS3 emulator now lists 75% of the console’s tracked library as playable on PC. That covers 2,681 of 3,559 games, and the rating means they can be completed with acceptable performance and no game-breaking glitches.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention. 

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.
