How to get Drift Tuning in GTA Online

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

There are a lot of tips and tricks to learn just on the multiplayer side of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 but nothing can compare to how many secrets are tucked away in the Zombies mode. While there are only two maps at launch, they are both packed with Easter eggs to discover. If you've explored Liberty Falls then you've no doubt come across the statue of the supervillain known as Aetherella in the comic book shop, but did you know you can actually play as her? It's just as fun as it sounds, and will earn you a Trophy, but is not easy to do without some help.

How to connect a PS5 controller to an iPhone

Mobile-gaming has taken a huge leap forward in recent years. With hardware accelerated ray tracing, more stable frame rates offered through Game Mode in iOS 18 and an impressive OLED display, gaming on the iPhone can look mighty pretty. The best iPhone games rival their console counterparts in a lot of cases, and there are plenty of free mobile games to dive into as well. As long as you have a good smartphone for gaming, you'll have a blast.

You can’t appreciate the graphics with your thumbs in the way though, and with precious little real estate already on the iPhone screen, touchscreen controls can also negatively impact your gameplay. For some games, like the indie-hit Balatro, on-screen controls make sense. But for most other mobile games, especially ones that require precision like Death Stranding or Call of Duty, playing with a controller is absolutely a must.
