Rockstar Games always had big ambitions for GTA Online – the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V – but the addition of content creation tools for gamers to take advantage of opened up a whole new realm of possibility. Now, in addition to whatever DLC Rockstar pumps out, there’s a never-ending supply of user-created activities to participate in. Every once in awhile, Rockstar selects a handful of these to be labeled as Verified Jobs, at which point they become available in both versions of the game, regardless of whether the original was created on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

The latest crop of 10 Rockstar Verified Jobs goes heavy on the racing, with eight of the selections focused on beating everyone else to the finish line. The remaining two are just about beating people… with guns, with melee weapons, with fists, whatever you prefer, really. This is Grand Theft Auto. No one’s judging you. Just be wary when you bring a virtual knife to a virtual gunfight.

The easiest way to access these jobs is through Rockstar’s Social Club website. You create an account, link it with your console profile, and then shuttle to the desired job and click the “Add To Game” tab. You can find more info about the 10 new jobs and their creators on Rockstar’s Newswire blog.

Xbox Game Pass kicks off 2024 by adding an all-time great remake
Mr.X pulling open a door in Resident Evil 2.

The new year has just begun, and Microsoft has announced the first group of games coming to Xbox Game Pass this year. Throughout the first half of January, Microsoft's game subscription service is set to receive eight new games. Most notably, Capcom's excellent Resident Evil 2 remake from 2019 joins Xbox Game Pass on January 16.

First released nearly five years ago on January 25, 2019, Resident Evil 2 set a new standard for horror remakes. It completely reimagined the original fixed-camera PlayStation 1 horror game as a tense third-person shooter with an intimate over-the-shoulder camera, while still retaining the core elements that made the original great. The influence of Resident Evil 2's remake can be felt not just in subsequent Resident Evil games, but in titles from other developers, like Alan Wake 2, Dead Space, and the upcoming Alone in the Dark remake.

The biggest gaming news of 2023: Insomniac leak, GTA 6 reveal, and more
Lucia and her partner rob a store in GTA 6.

2023 was a roller coaster for the video games industry. On the software side, it was a historic year for new releases. We got everything from big success stories like Baldur's Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to memorable indies in Venba and Chants of Sennaar. But from the business side, 2023 was a lot more tumultuous. While some notable studio acquisitions and game announcements happened, thousands of developers were laid off, entire studios were shut down or hacked, and the provider of one of the most popular game engines landed in hot water after trying to roll out a controversial change.

The most notable gaming news stories of 2023 run the gamut from genuinely exciting to thoroughly disappointed. That speaks to a video game industry bound to head into an odd 2024 that lacks the known quantity bombshells of this year and continues to reel from layoffs. In last year's iteration of this article, my editor said that the 2020s are shaping up to be "the most pivotal decade in gaming history when all is said and done." If this year is anything to go by, that will almost certainly be true. These were the gaming stories that defined 2023, for better and much worse.
