Don’t shoot your courier in Grand Theft Auto Online’s latest game mode

Add as a preferred source on Google

Grand Theft Auto V has been a huge success since day one, and its online component, Grand Theft Auto Online, is still actively played by the online community. This is due in large part to Rockstar Games’ continuing support of the title, which was first released in October 2013. And now, the developer has announced that the multiplayer game’s next update will be available April 12.

In GTA Online’s coming update, Rockstar is including a new multiplayer mode called “Inch By Inch.” Players are meant to pick up a package somewhere on the map and then head home toward the team’s end zone. Once the package has reached the end zone, the team scores and a new package spawns somewhere on the map. Since the courier can’t use a weapon, they have to rely on the support of their teammates to keep any rockets, grenades, and bullets at bay. You’ll find Inch By Inch in the Adversary Mode playlist.

To celebrate the new update, players can get double the GTA$ and RP when they enter the Adversary Mode playlist, which will be available until and throughout April 14. The playlist will be available directly from the GTA V launch screens, so anyone looking to earn some extra cash or level up their character will be able to do so with minimal effort. Adversary Modes 1 have already passed, but starting now will get you access to Adversary Modes 2 from today through Monday. Starting Tuesday, players will have access to the Inch By Inch 1 playlist.

Unfortunately, there’s not much more to it than the new game mode. Rockstar will also include the Vapid Minivan. Fast transport vehicles for your squad are good, but many players would likely have been glad to hear their concerns for online frauds could be put to rest.

Criminals looking to invest in new weaponry should take the opportunity to also do so before April 14. Ammu-Nation, the in-game gunstore, will offer some pretty hefty sales until then. Sniper rifles will be 25 percent cheaper, and their attachments will be half price. Shotguns will go for 40 percent less, but their attachments will just get a 30 percent discount. Finally the body armor will be 50 percent off.

Xbox may be about to test a surprisingly clever way to digitize game discs
A delayed Insider update has fueled speculation that Microsoft could soon reveal Positron, a system that reportedly turns physical games into transferable digital licenses

Microsoft may be preparing to bring Positron to Xbox Insiders as early as next week. The company hasn’t announced the feature or confirmed when players might see it, but a delayed Insider build has given the rumor somewhere to land.

Xbox Insider lead Brad Rossetti teased that the postponed update would be worth the wait. Windows Central executive editor Jez Corden then suggested Positron may be involved. Corden had previously reported the codename after references to the project appeared in Xbox software.

Black Ops multiplayer is a mess on PlayStation and Activision is rushing to fix it
Activision starts fixing hacked Black Ops lobbies that can lock players out of multiplayer
Adult, Male, Man

It has only been a few days since Activision brought Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2 to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and hackers are already ruining the experience for returning players.

Modded lobbies have started appearing in the original Black Ops, allowing some players to farm huge amounts of XP while others are being hit with negative XP that can drop their prestige below level 1 and lock them out of multiplayer. Activision has now deployed the first phase of a fix and says more protections are on the way.

AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game
AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.
AMD RX 7800

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.
