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 slam-dunk of a game for the talented developers at Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto 5 has been out for several years now, but it’s still an extremely popular title. Grand Theft Auto 6 may be on the way next year, but GTA 5 is still a worthwhile game to dive into.

If you’ve ever played a GTA game, you’ll know the going can get a little tough from time to time. This is why it’s nice to live in a world with cheat codes.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is unaffected by the video game voice actors strike

A lot of games will be affected by the SAG-AFTRA video game actors strike, but one of the most anticipated games of the next few years isn't one of them. In a statement to Kotaku, it was confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 isn't impacted by the strike.

“I can confirm GTA 6 is exempt,” a spokesperson for the publishers named in ongoing conversations said. The publication also learned that any games that were in development before September 2023 are unaffected, since that's when the union voted to authorize the strike.

Will GTA 6 be on PC?

Whenever a new Grand Theft Auto game drops, it instantly becomes the biggest game of the generation. We saw it with 4, 5 and we expect GTA 6 to once again shatter all sales records when it finally comes out. After a lot of rumors, leaks, and even hacks, GTA 6 is officially revealed, but not everything about the game is out in the open just yet. Aside from story and gameplay details, some big questions surrounding where and when we can hope to play GTA 6 when it does come out are swirling around. PC players especially are concerned since Rockstar has yet to release a GTA title on PC at the same time as consoles. Will that be the case once again?
Will GTA 6 be on PC?
Yes, but not at launch. For now, GTA 6 is only confirmed to be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Where does that leave PC players? Well, if history tells us anything, we might be in for a little bit of a wait. GTA 5 took almost a year and a half to get a PC port, while Read Dead Redemption 2 took a year and one month. Who knows if Rockstar plans to speed up the process for GTA 6, but at worst you should plan on waiting about a year for a PC version.

According to a former Rockstar dev who spoke to IGN, the reason Rockstar delays the PC version is twofold. "The reason why a PC port comes later and not the first thing that comes out, is because they want to prioritise what sells. Most of the time, especially in the past, PlayStation was the big seller. PlayStation was the console to have. It sold more than any other console for the most part. Everybody’s playing PlayStation."
