Doubling down on Grand Theft Auto Online‘s push onto PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Rockstar has announced a new subscription service available exclusively to players on those platforms. Called GTA+, the service will provide subscribers with benefits ranging from free in-game cash to free buildings when it launches on March 29.

Introducing GTA+ for GTA Online.

A new membership program exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S — providing easy access to a range of valuable benefits for both new and long-standing players on the latest generation consoles.

According to a post on the Rockstar Newswire announcing the service, GTA+ nets its users some essential resources, regardless of how long they’ve been playing. For starters, GTA+ subscribers will get $500,000 deposited to their in-game accounts monthly, special vehicle upgrades, exclusive discounts, cash and XP reward bonuses, and more. Along with all of that, members will also get access to some of GTA Online’s properties that grant access to more of the game’s content.

For example, to participate in any content from the game’s latest expansion, The Contract, players have to buy an Agency office building. Normally, these properties cost players upwards of $2 million worth of in-game currency, but having GTA+ will significantly cut down or circumvent that grind. Anyone who purchases a $6 monthly membership to GTA+ when it launches next week will get a suite of immediate perks, including an auto shop, a selection of free paint jobs for cars, and much more.

With its launch of GTA+, it’s clear that Rockstar has a favorite child coming into the current generation of consoles. GTA Online recently launched as a stand-alone game alongside the next-gen version of Grand Theft Auto V. All the while, Rockstar’s latest game, Red Dead Redemption 2, is seemingly stuck on last-gen consoles along with its own online counterpart, Red Dead Online.

The new service leaves PC, Xbox One, and PS4 GTA Online players out in the cold. The service is only available for people playing the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Rockstar has made no indication that it intends to extend GTA+ to other platforms.

How to sell cars in GTA 5

There are a lot of ways to make money in the world of Grand Theft Auto V, but none are more apt that stealing and selling cars. Not only is it a pastime befitting its namesake, it's also a fun way to earn a few bucks while roaming the streets of Los Santos. There's just one way to sell cars in GTA 5, but thankfully, offloading your stolen goods is a very straightforward process.
Steal a car
Before you can even think about selling a vehicle, you're going to have to get your hands on one. Common cars will sell for at least $1,000 each, but it's worth your time to seek out expensive luxury and sports cars. Here's a good rule of thumb to follow -- the nicer the car looks, the more valuable it usually is. We've had good luck finding expensive vehicles on the streets around Rockford Hills, but head to any upscale shopping area and you're bound to see a few.

Once you've found your vehicle of interest, simply hijack or hot-wire it and evade the police. Try to do as little damage to it as possible, since cars in better condition fetch a higher price. Most of the time, you can simply speed down the road and find a quiet hiding spot in an alley to shake the low-effort manhunt. As soon as the coast is clear and you have no stars, you're ready to offload your new ride.

It’s time for the age of always-online single-player games to end

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is one of the most anticipated PlayStation 5 games of the year, as it promises that DC Comics fans will get to see their favorite antiheroes wreak havoc in the Batman Arkhamverse. The co-op action game features a storyline straight out of Marvel's What If...? with most members of the Justice League getting brainwashed by Brainiac. And it has the distinction of featuring Kevin Conroy's final voice performance as the Dark Knight. On paper, it has a lot going for it.

There's just one problem, though. You can only play it online, even when you're going solo.

The fastest cars in GTA 5

Half the fun of Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online is cruising around Los Santos in lightning-fast supercars. There's no shortage of incredible vehicles available to players, but trying to figure out which is the fastest isn't as straightforward as you'd think. Some might dominate in a drag race, yet end up in a ditch if you put them on a winding track. Others might excel around hairpin turns, but lack in overall horsepower. The following list is based strictly on each car's top speed, as trying to rate other traits -- such as handling and cornering abilities -- is highly subjective and up to personal preference. While we eagerly await a new fleet of cars to steal and race in Grand Theft Auto 6, here are the 10 fastest cars in Grand Theft Auto V.
