Rockstar Games is set to expand its GTA Online sandbox on March 4 with the release of the free Business Update DLC pack via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The add-on introduces some new toys for your virtual sociopaths to play with, including new vehicles and weapons. Note that all of the below items are added to your character profile in story mode for free, but you’ve got to buy them from their respective stores in GTA Online.

For those that like speeding out on the open road, the Albany Alpha, Dinka Jester, and Grotti Turismo R form a trio of shiny, new sports cars for you to buy. The more affluent residents of Los Santos can pony up instead to buy the Vestra airplane (pictured above). Of course, this being Grand Theft Auto, you’ll need some firearms to go with your drivables. Ammu-Nation will add the Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine to its shelves once the update goes live.

There’s more, too. GTA Online emphasis on player customization expands even further with the Business Update, thanks to an assortment of new suit jackets, slacks, glasses, heels, and blouses, as well as new “business hairstyles” (huh?) and “currency-themed tattoos.” You’ll also be able to pick up some new masks, which should be fun to play with if the game’s long-promised co-op heists mode ever arrives.

Speaking of future content, Rockstar’s Newswire post promises that more details are coming soon on a variety of topics, including the Capture Creator update, new Assassination and Flight School missions for story mode,  and – yes – Online Heists.

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.

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.
