What a wordy headline.

Rockstar Games is doing something nice for fans. Starting on June 18, those that own Grand Theft Auto 5 on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade to the current-gen versions of the game for free. Rockstar specifically says that these upgrades will apply only to the digital version of Xbox One and to "any" copy on PlayStation 4. It probably also stands to reason that you won't be able to hop between console families with this, so only PS4...

Maybe they should ask how paid mods worked out for Bethesda.

Rockstar Games just launched the Cfx Marketplace. This is a new digital storefront where Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 players can download multiplayer mods specific to FiveM and RedM.

The driver update is a rather minor one.

Nvidia released a new driver update today, 580.97, for their PC GPUs. Coming rather quickly on the heels of the 580.88 driver that came out, this new driver update actually includes no fixes for any specific games. It does, however offer support for DLSS 4 in games like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 Enhanced and Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced.

The DLSS 4 support in these games also includes Multi Frame Generation support for those with...

Let's hope it takes less time for GTA6 to release on PC than it took for this update to come out.

Rockstar Games is finally releasing the "next-gen" update of Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC players of the game. This is roughly the same content that came out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S almost two years ago, or back on March 15, 2022 to be exact. This particular update for PC players won't be out until March 4th, so there's still a few more weeks left to wait.

Those on older hardware will no longer be able to create and edit clips.

For those still playing Grand Theft Auto 5 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, a feature you may not even be aware about will soon be removed. Rockstar Games will be removing the video editing tool, known simply as the Rockstar Editor, from Grand Theft Auto 5 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The other versions of the game will still retain access to the Rockstar Editor, at least for now.

For those unfamiliar,...

The shared content also includes files for Bully 2 and Grand Theft Auto 6.

It's still Christmas Eve here in the States, but in some parts of the world it's already Christmas Day. Perhaps it's that "spirit of giving" that pushed one "random British guy in the 360 modding community" to publicly release the full Grand Theft Auto 5 source code.

News of this public release started to trickle out late in the day on December 24. It was first mentioned by...

Contrary to popular belief, not everything was delayed in 2021.

Once again, Valve employees have poured through the data over the course of hundreds of hours to produce a list of the biggest and best-selling games available through Steam in 2021. It's either that, or they just had a program compile all of the data for them, but the alternative sounds more thrilling.

Valve has broken down Steam's "Best of 2021" into several categories. They have listings for the...

Rockstar is feeling particularly giving. Tis the season.

Though it has been updated with at least one major patch, the current state of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition still isn't particularly great. As a way of apologizing to fans, at least those on the PC, Rockstar Games offered up free copies of the older, non-definitive editions for each game to those that purchased The Trilogy.

I guess that wasn't enough because Rockstar is now offering all...
