Rockstar Games is set to release the Capture Creator for GTA Online this Friday, April 11. Capture is the game’s unique take on Capture the Flag, with two teams of players competing to bring some kind of target – could be bags of cash, could be city buses – back to their respective bases. With Capture Creator, you’ll be able to build out matches of your own, tweaking everything from base location to pickups to targets. To celebrate the forthcoming release, Rockstar is offering double cash and Reputation Points (GTA Online‘s XP) on all Capture matches for a limited time.

Paving the way for the Capture Creator release is a new title update. In addition to an assortment of fixes, the update also adds an RP reward for every time you Like/Dislike a completed Job, a new Lester ability that you can call in to keep cops from paying attention to you for a short period of time, and boosted payouts for a variety of GTA Online activities. The title update is an automatic add-on; simply fire up your game, and you should be prompted to download it.

This is the first of three planned major enhancements to GTA Online for spring 2014. Rockstar also recently confirmed that the game will receive some free DLC in the form of the High Life update as well as the addition of cooperative Heists. There’s no date set yet for either of the other two add-ons, but we should see them both before summer officially starts on June 21.

Grand Theft Auto VI didn’t need The Game Awards

This past week was one of the most crowded for video game news because of two events: The Game Awards 2023 and the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. Initially, I was surprised the two weren’t one and the same. GTA 6’s reveal is the most significant game announcement of the year, after all, and Geoff Keighley always seems to be searching for big Elden Ring- or GTA 6-level moments for his show, even if he doesn’t always get those. After taking a step back and looking at how each performed independently of the other, I think both were better off staying separate.
Taking center stage
When it first teased the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer in November, it said the trailer would be released “in early December.” Like many others, I assumed that this meant it would show up at The Game Awards because that tends to be the case when game developers tease an announcement for that window. For example, Focus Entertainment also said a release date for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 would be confirmed “in early December,” and that ended up happening during The Game Awards.

Ultimately, Rockstar had the GTA 6 trailer slated to release on the morning of December 5, but ended up releasing it on the night of December 4 due to a leak. The game would not go on to make any marketing-related appearance at The Game Awards 2023 on December 7. Although GTA 6 skirted The Game Awards, was leaked, and got posted earlier than intended, it was still a groundbreaking reveal.

Rockstar finally dropped the first trailer for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 on Monday night after it leaked early. In less than 24 hours, it has already amassed over 77 million views. Outside of what's featured in the trailer, Rockstar isn't revealing much more about GTA 6. Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser simply stated in a press release that Rockstar wants to "push the limits of what’s possible in highly immersive, story-driven open-world experiences."
