Aspiring Los Santos moguls should get excited for the next update to Grand Theft Auto Online, rolling out Tuesday, May 13. The High Life update adds five new luxury options to the Los Santos real estate market, such as the stately Eclipse Towers or the Richards Majestic. You needn’t worry if you’ve grown too attached to your current pad though, because this update also brings the ability to own two distinct properties simultaneously. 

To fill out all that new garage space that comes with more property, the folks at Rockstar have also added three new cars and a motorcycle, all available for purchase in GTA Online from Legendary Motorsport and accessible from any garage in Story Mode. The High Life also adds “Non Contact” as an option for racing, which turns of collisions between players’ vehicles (though still of course allowing you to hit non-player traffic, structures, pedestrians, etc).

The more aggressive among you will be eager to pick up Ammu-Nation’s powerful new Bullpup Rifle. You’ll want to have it ready and keep an eye on the new Mental State meter, which tells you “just how passive or psychotically unhinged fellow players in your session really are.” The High Life also includes a bevy of new wardrobe options, vehicle horns, player toasts/celebrations, and 15 new jobs, including five new Contact Missions.

#RedDeadFuneral is trending on Twitter as fans memorialize Red Dead Online, the multiplayer online expansion of Red Dead Redemption 2.

On July 13, 2021, Rockstar Games gave Red Dead Online fans new content with the Blood Money update. Since then, the community has waited patiently for more substantial updates, but received next to nothing. On Wednesday, fans declared the game deceased, inviting each other to log into the game to drink at Valentine and Blackwater Graveyard and post screenshots of their characters dressed in black and paying their respects to the game on social media.

ESO players exploring High Isle.

The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle is officially live on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. This time around, ZeniMax is taking players to a stunning archipelago filled with gorgeous scenery, deadly monsters, and enough political intrigue to make Game of Thrones jealous. However, in order to access all this fancy new content, you’ll need to purchase the High Isle Chapter.

If you’re on the fence about purchasing High Isle -- or it's already in your library and you want to make sure you don’t miss out on anything -- here’s everything new to ESO that’s included with the chapter. Also keep in mind that this chapter launched alongside Update 34, which offers a bunch of new content for all players even if they don’t buy into High Isle.

Grand Theft Auto Online is in need of a serious cleanup
A CEO sits surrounded by piles of cash in GTA Online.

I've played Grand Theft Auto Online a lot since the game originally came out in 2013. I played it back then on my Xbox 360, then on my PS4, and now I'm playing it on my PC. I've invested hundreds of hours in the game and seen everything it has to offer. So believe that it's true when I say that as it is right now, GTA Online may be the most broken it's ever been due to a number of long-standing issues.

If you've been playing the game as long as I have, you're well-acquainted with these problems already. Since its launch, GTA Online has been far from perfect. But that hasn't stopped players (myself included) from flocking to it. The game is flat-out good and developer Rockstar knows that. That's why the game is now stand-alone and why the company is investing in it even further with a $6 monthly subscription service.
