GTA Online Heists, Capture creator, and High Life add-on coming soon

gta online the high life update

Rockstar Games continues to grow GTA Online, the multiplayer portion of Grand Theft Auto V, and now we’ve got a sense of what to expect over the next few months. The timetable isn’t any more specific than “spring,” and it’s not clear what order these are due to arrive in, but they’re all expected to arrive before summer descends on June 21. Expected. Things can change, don’t forget.

The new Capture Creator joins the previously released Deathmatch and Race Creators, with this one allowing players to craft their own – wait for it! – Capture mode matches (think CTF). You’ll be able to “place pick-ups, define weaponry, set location, and tweak tons of other variables,” according to Rockstar, and all content will be reviewed for potential inclusion as Rockstar Verified Jobs.

The High Life Update, much like the recent Business Update, adds a range of free themed content to GTA Online. This includes new high-end apartments, new Jobs, a Bullpup Rifle, four new vehicles (one motorcycle, three super-cars), and new wardrobe options. The update also adds the ability for players to own as many as two properties with their own garages and a “Mental State” player statistic that helps others get a sense of how nuts the other people in their lobby are.

Finally, the long-awaited cooperative Heists will be coming sometime in the spring. There’s no details at all on how this will work in GTA Online, but you might already have a sense if you’ve cruised through GTA V‘s story mode. Rockstar has more DLC planned for later in the year as well, including holiday-themed updates and a mysterious story DLC.

You can read more about all of this as well as what’s going to be added in forthcoming title updates in Rockstar’s latest Newswire post.

How to sell cars in GTA 5

Grand Theft Auto 5 Screenshot_361

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.

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.
