Crack open a PBR and forget everything your English teacher taught you about what irony actually means for Grand Theft Auto Online‘s “I’m Not a Hipster” update. In addition to over 100 general fixes and gameplay tweaks, the free update features an assortment of “Hipster” themed content like retro print t-shirts, tattoos, skinny jeans, and animal masks (if you want to live out that fan fiction you wrote where Animal Collective robs banks together).

Seven new vehicles are available, from the environmentally-conscious, Smart Car-like Panto to the ostentatious 6-seat/3-axel Dubsta. Ammu-Nation is also cashing in on carefully-curated nostalgia with the Antique Cavalry Dagger and Vintage Pistol. 12 new jobs are also available across various game modes, including new Races, a Deathmatch in Puerta Del Sol, and two new Captures. There are also three new Gang Attacks in Chumash, East Vinewood, and Mirror Park.

The “I’m Not a Hipster” Update is available now when you boot up GTA V with an Internet connection.

Grand Theft Auto Online’s new update teases metaverse ambitions
Dr. Dre showing a player character a new song in GTA Online.

The Grand Theft Auto franchise has always made a point to separate itself from the real world. This helps players buy into the idea that the GTA world is a caricature of the U.S. There's no FBI -- it's the FIB, and they really are always listening in. Pop stars are airheaded, tech bros are annoying, and CEOs and executives are just plain evil. And while some of those things mirror our own reality, the rest is over-the-top satire. Grand Theft Auto was built upon that cartoon world.

But Grand Theft Auto Online's latest expansion, The Contract, continues a trend that flies against that foundation. It prominently features Dr. Dre, whom players interact with and talk to regularly over the course of the update's content. There's a full cutscene where players hang out with Dre as he records a track with Anderson .Paak. At the expansion's end, Dre sits in a luxury car with the player, tells them how important they are to him, and debuts a brand-new song.

GTA 5 cross-platform support: Everything we know
is gta 5 cross platform featured

Grand Theft Auto 5 is the longest-running game in the series. Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design) has maintained a consistent development cadence for the series since its inception, but with next-gen consoles on the horizon, we still haven't heard anything about the sixth entry. GTA 5 is here to stay, with next-gen versions of the game launching soon.

Cross-platform support was an issue when Rockstar brought GTA 5 from Xbox 360 and PS3 to current generation consoles. Now, with games like Minecraft and Rocket League popularizing cross-platform play, hopefully Rockstar will add some sort of multi-system integration. Here's everything we know about GTA 5 cross-platform support.
