You’ll be able to run your own nightclub in ‘Grand Theft Auto Online’

Coming to GTA Online this July

Grand Theft Auto V’s online multiplayer component gives you plenty of ways to earn money — many of which involve robbing or shooting someone — but if you’re hoping to go legitimate in Grand Theft Auto Online, you will soon be able to run your own nightclub.

Starting in July, players will be able to establish their nightclubs from the ground-up, staffing them with employees and promoting the club to draw in more partying Los Santos residents. Clubs that become popular will earn more revenue in their building’s wall safe, and you’ll be able to have artists like The Black Madonna, Solumun, Dixon, and Tale of Us keep the party going.

“Nightclubs are the perfect cover for any operation you might have going, so get in on the ground level as a business partner to open up a brand new establishment, and help the DJs make their the shows the best ever,” Rockstar Games said.

Rockstar will be rewarding devoted Grand Theft Auto Online players through “The Guest List.” Log into the game from now until July 2 and you will automatically be added. From July 3 through July 9, you will then be given an exclusive “Orange Wireframe Bodysuit” as well as $300,000 of in-game cash. Later in July, you will receive weekly cash bonuses, discounts on vehicles, special nightclub T-shirts, and more.

If you’re on Xbox One and are looking to play some of Rockstar’s older games, several were recently added to the console’s backward compatibility library. These include the excellent Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the racing game Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and the underrated Table Tennis.

Grand Theft Auto V is the most profitable piece of media of all time — dwarfing even the largest movies — but all eyes will be on Rockstar’s next big game, Red Dead Redemption 2, when it launches this October. The game is a prequel to 2010’s Red Dead Redemption and looks to deliver a gritty Western tale just as influential and impactful as its predecessor. Though you play as a different character this time around, John Marston, the original game’s protagonist, returns, as do some other characters. It will release for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 26.

A lot of long-awaited video games will finally release in 2025. But don’t let them be the only ones to grab your attention this year.

If all goes according to plan, 2025 will contain the launches of Nintendo’s Switch successor, Metroid Prime 4:Beyond, and Grand Theft Auto VI. Other high-profile games like Elden Ring: Neightreign, Doom: The Dark Ages, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and Ghost of Yotei flesh out Digital Trends’ most anticipated games of 2025 list. It’s likely that these AAA adventures, and whatever Nintendo decides to deliver with its new console, will dominate gaming conversations throughout the year.

The best Jokers in Balatro: 16 Jokers you’ll need for a Gold Stake run
A list of Jokers stacked together from Balatro.

Balatro, during the early stakes — the game’s version of difficulty settings — is an addictive, immaculately designed roguelike experience. 

Once you start runs on Purple Stake and higher though, Balatro can become a frustrating struggle to keep up with the ridiculously high score requirements. Adding to the challenge are the Jokers that can arrive in the Shop debuffed, immortal, or with a rental sticker that requires players to spend extra money in order to keep them. It’s no wonder many Balatro players can feel like their Gold Stake attempts run out of steam without an absolutely perfect start.

The poorly received Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy -- The Definitive Edition got a surprise and much-needed update earlier this week, but not everybody is happy with the results. After the update went live on PC and consoles, fans noticed quickly that Grove Street Games, the studio that developed Definitive Edition with Rockstar Games, had been removed from the splash screen ahead of the start menu. Now Grove Street CEO Thomas Williamson has spoken out on X about the situation.

"Speaking entire hypothetically: It's a [jerk] move to remove primary developers from credits in an update, especially when an update includes hundreds of fixes that were provided by those developers that stayed out of players' hands for years," Williamson wrote.
