Live The High Life in upcoming GTA Online update

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

Earlier today, Santa Monica Studio announced that it’s delaying the game, which is now expected to land on May 20 next year.

The studio didn’t give a reason for the delay, but says it will use the extra time to further polish and optimize the game, so it offers players the best experience possible. Below is the full statement released by the studio:

Xbox just made the most Florida gaming console imaginable
Xbox Series X-Bite

A new special edition console from Microsoft isn't something new. Over the years, Xbox consoles have been a part of plenty of limited-edition collaborations, including a controller modeled after Deadpool's backside. But its latest creation just takes the cake.

Microsoft has stuffed an entire Xbox Series X inside a giant alligator, and the fun part is that you could take this monstrosity home. Meet the new Xbox Series X-BITE, a one-of-a-kind console that looks like an alligator swallowed Microsoft's gaming hardware whole. According to Xbox's official announcement, the bizarre creation is part of a special giveaway celebrating the company's upcoming trip to Florida.

Steam is drowning in new games, and Valve is dropping tougher restrictions
Steam has so many AI games to review that Valve is changing the rules
Steam website open on MacBook

Steam has apparently been struggling to keep up with new game submissions. Developers have been forced to wait longer to get their games approved, which has caused Valve to step in to fix things. The company is putting stricter release requirements in place, including one which is absolutely hilarious. Valve needs developers to play their games through Steam before submitting them for review.

In an official Steamworks announcement, Valve acknowledged that a significant increase in game and store page submissions has overwhelmed its review process. The company typically aims to complete game build reviews within three to five days. However, some are now taking up to 12 business days, with repeated reviews contributing heavily to the backlog.
