The most dangerous game: Hunt your fellow man in GTA Online’s Adversary Modes

Alongside GTA Online’s long-anticipated cooperative heists, Rockstar Games has announced three new player-vs-player modes to keep things spicy. These Adversary Modes unlock as players complete heists.

If Evolve piqued your interest for hunting down your fellow players, Come Out To Play is the mode for you. A team of three runners, heavily armed but limited to movement on foot, tries to make it home while a team of shotgun-wielding, motorbike/ATV-riding hunters tries to run them down. Hunters have unlimited lives, but runners are limited to one each.

Hasta La Vista continues the theme of players hunting players, but this time with a vehicular twist. A team of cyclists wins if one of their members reaches a designated checkpoint. However, a team of truckers is simultaneously trying to run the cyclists down, using no weapons other than their hulking, big rig trucks to crush the nimble cyclists.

Siege Mentality pits up to four players holding a single location against an assault of up to six other players attempting to take them out. The defending players have access to a full arsenal. The attackers are limited to sawn-off shotguns, but also have unlimited lives.

In addition to Heists and the new Adversary Modes, players also get three new Daily Objectives, a rotating set of challenges with cash rewards up to $500,000. There are also new Freemode activities for even greater variety and rewards, delivered via new phone calls from Lester, Lamar, Trevor, or Ron who may need your assistance and are willing to pay for it.

All of these features are coming to GTA Online along with Heists on March 10. The PC edition of Grand Theft Auto V follows shortly thereafter on April 14.

Grand Theft Auto Trilogy developer is not happy about this change in latest update

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.

Oh hey, GTA 5 is back on PlayStation Plus this month

November's PlayStation Plus lineup is packed with games this month, both in terms of quality and quantity. However, with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon (hopefully sometime next year), arguably the biggest addition is Grand Theft Auto 5, which is back on the subscription service after leaving earlier this year.

There's not much to say about GTA 5 that hasn't already been said. It's one of the bestselling games of all time and still holds up more than 10 years after release. It's likely you already own it on some platform, but if you somehow don't or just want to play it on the PlayStation 5 or 4, you can play it for free with an Extra or Premium subscription.
