Technically, there are hundreds of ways to get around in GTA Online besides driving, but they don’t call it Grand Theft Auto for nothing. This game is all about cars, whether that be stealing, buying, racing, crashing, or modifying them. You’ve always been able to outfit and customize your car in dozens of ways, but The Chop Shop update added a new Drift Tuning mechanic alongside a new set of vehicles. Not all cars are eligible for this upgrade, and your usual mechanic isn’t up for the job. Here are the blueprints on how Drift Tuning works.

Drift Tuning is a new upgrade only available for select cars in GTA Online that lets you do more precise drifting maneuvers, makes the car all-wheel drive, and improves engine power. If you’re a drifting fan, this upgrade is a must.

The only place you can install a Drift Tuning Kit in GTA Online is at the Los Santos Car Meet, which you need to purchase a membership to for $50,000. Once you’re a member, you can bring in an eligible car and install Drift Tune for $200,000. It will be the first option when you pull in above Armor. If you don’t like the way your car handles, you can have it removed for $50,000.

Note that installing Drift Tune will override any existing modifications you may have on your car, but they will be reapplied if you remove Drift Tune.

Unfortunately, at least for now, only eight cars can take advantage of Drift Tuning. They are:

  • Annis Euros
  • Annis Remus
  • Annis ZR350
  • Declasse Drift Tampa
  • Declasse Drift Yosemite
  • Dinka Jester RR
  • Fathom FR36
  • Karin Futo GTX

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
