Rockstar Games is set to release the Capture Creator for GTA Online this Friday, April 11. Capture is the game’s unique take on Capture the Flag, with two teams of players competing to bring some kind of target – could be bags of cash, could be city buses – back to their respective bases. With Capture Creator, you’ll be able to build out matches of your own, tweaking everything from base location to pickups to targets. To celebrate the forthcoming release, Rockstar is offering double cash and Reputation Points (GTA Online‘s XP) on all Capture matches for a limited time.

Paving the way for the Capture Creator release is a new title update. In addition to an assortment of fixes, the update also adds an RP reward for every time you Like/Dislike a completed Job, a new Lester ability that you can call in to keep cops from paying attention to you for a short period of time, and boosted payouts for a variety of GTA Online activities. The title update is an automatic add-on; simply fire up your game, and you should be prompted to download it.

This is the first of three planned major enhancements to GTA Online for spring 2014. Rockstar also recently confirmed that the game will receive some free DLC in the form of the High Life update as well as the addition of cooperative Heists. There’s no date set yet for either of the other two add-ons, but we should see them both before summer officially starts on June 21.

It's had plenty of competition over the years, but Grand Theft Auto V remains one of the most popular open-world crime games on the planet. Rockstar has given the game constant updates to keep its thriving community happy, and it even ported the game to PS5 and Xbox Series X. One thing hasn't changed since launch, however, and that's a constant need to fill your virtual pockets with cash. And if you need cash fast, selling a car is a great option.

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.
