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.

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.

I know this because I’ve played a part in this hype cycle myself -- and this very article is adding to it right now.

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.

Xbox Game Pass is kicking off July with a major surprise, as Grand Theft Auto V has returned to the service. Rockstar's sales juggernaut leads an otherwise light month for Game Pass, which brings Capcom's Exoprimal as a day-one launch.

This isn't the first time that Grand Theft Auto V has been on Game Pass. It was previously on the service circa 2021 but removed from it that August. Rockstar has a history of putting its games on Game Pass for a brief window before pulling it, as it also did with Red Dead Redemption 2.
