Heists are coming very, very soon to GTA Online, as Rockstar Games confirms in a new trailer. The four-player cooperative addition to Grand Theft Auto V‘s online mode has been cooking for some time, and after multiple delays it’ll finally be coming to PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in early 2015.

There aren’t too many specifics to share just yet. Here’s what Rockstar had to say:

Today we are happy to present a new trailer for the four-player co-op mode for Grand Theft Auto Online that allows players to plan, prepare and execute multi-tiered Heists across Los Santos and Blaine County. These will require tight communication and coordination, with players taking on specified roles at each point to accomplish multiple objectives on the way to each Heist’s epic finale. Featuring new gameplay, new vehicles, new weapons, new clothing and much more.

The trailer offers some hints as to the scope of things. It looks like heists take a variety of forms, much like they did in the GTA V story mode. Expect to hear more as the launch gets closer.

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.

GameNative just made it dangerously easy to fill your Android phone with PC game mods

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
