GTA Online Los Santos Tuners update is all about the cars

By

Grand Theft Auto Online has been a mainstay since the launch of Grand Theft Auto V, thanks in large part to its wonderful vehicles. Rockstar is now capitalizing on that with the game’s summer update, Los Santos Tuners. The update, which players can download starting today, adds a ton of new cars for players to cruise around in and a car meet to show off that chrome.

By far the largest part of today’s update for GTA Online is the LS Car Meet, a new social hub for players. Unlike other hubs, like the game’s Diamond Resort and Casino, the Meet is completely centered around cars, how much you can customize them, and how fast they can go. At the LS Car Meet, players will be able to show off their rides, modify vehicles in real-time, take cars for a test drive, or even see whose car is faster on a test track. Don’t worry about anyone blowing your ride up at the LS Car Meet, either; it’s a totally combat-free zone.

Since this update is all about cars, it’s only fitting that an entire fleet of them are being added to the game. A total of 10 new cars can be purchased in GTA Online starting today, including the following:

  • Obey Tailgater S
  • Annis Euros
  • Dinka RT3000
  • Annis ZR350
  • Vulcar Warrener HKR
  • Karin Calico GTF
  • Annis Remus
  • Dinka Jester RR
  • Karin Futo GTX
  • Vapid Dominator GTT

More cars will be added to the game in the coming weeks and later on this year when GTA Online launches on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, the cars arriving alongside the game’s next-gen leap will be exclusive to those consoles, likely leaving last-gen players in the dust.

A number of other new features also are heading to GTA Online today, including the ability to finally customize your radio. Specifically, players will be able to customize their radio wheel and pick which stations appear. Some new tunes are also heading to the game, but you’ll have to find them. Music sticks are scattered across the map, and they add new songs to your rotation when they’re picked up.

The best GTA characters of all-time
The protagonists of GTA V pose for the camera.

Ever since the GTA franchise became what it is today with Grand Theft Auto 3, Rockstar has packed their worlds full of colorful and rich characters. While we've only been able to control male characters up until now (though that is set to change if the GTA 6 rumors are true), they have all had distinct and interesting personalities and stories. That said, sometimes it's the side characters that can steal the show too. Looking back at the entire series, we've come up with our picks for the best GTA characters of all time.
Carl 'CJ' Johnson -- GTA: San Andreas

Good old Carl Johnson, better known as CJ, is way more than just a meme. San Andreas was the second game in the series to really focus on character in a major way, and the team nailed it with their lead. Not only was the entire cast filled with bonafide actors, but CJ's personal story as a gang member whose mother is murdered was far more nuanced and emotional than the media would lead you to believe. The real draw was the relationship CJ had with the main antagonist Officer Tenpenny (who may or may not be mentioned later on). This game set the standard for how Rockstar would reveal more about the characters and world through casual conversation throughout the story.
Tommy Vercetti -- GTA: Vice City

How to get the Eclipse 50-car garage in GTA Online
GTA Online two cars driving.

For years, players have been limited in how many cars they were able to store and showcase in their garages in GTA Online. After dozens of updates introduced a host of new properties, vehicles, weapons, and other features, Rockstar has finally given the players a larger garage to show off their collection. This new garage, the Eclipse Blvd 50-car garage, is a massive, five-story-tall garage that is, as you can guess, located on the pristine Eclipse Blvd. However, just having the cash and knowing where this swanky garage is isn't quite enough to actually purchase it. GTA Online has a host of ways to buy properties and items, so here's how you can become the proud owner of the Eclipse Blvd 50-car garage.
How to buy the Eclipse Blvd 50-car garage

Before getting into the actual process of purchasing the Eclipse Blvd 50-car garage, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that there are no requirements in terms of progression, level, or anything else of that sort that you need to meet before you have the option to buy it. The bad news, which is the case with all properties in GTA Online is that it is expensive. In this case, you will need to make sure you have a healthy bank account with at least $2,740,000 ready to drop. Once you've got the cash, here's how to buy your new garage.

All GTA games, ranked from worst to best

Few video game series are as legendary as Grand Theft Auto, which made a name for itself thanks to developer Rockstar Games. GTA has been around since 1997, spanning numerous console generations, and taking place during versions of the 1960s to the 2020s. It's a controversial series that has been featured in the news for its violence and adult themes, but this has led to even more sales, increasing its allure and popularity.

Beyond its controversies, the Grand Theft Auto series is comprised of fantastic games -- some of which have completely revolutionized the medium as a whole. Many modern hits owe a lot to the Grand Theft Auto series, proving just how important these games are, even decades later.
