GTA Online Los Santos Tuners update is all about the cars

Grand Theft Auto Online has been a mainstay since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Vthanks in large part to its wonderful vehicles. Rockstar is now capitalizing on that with the game’s summer update, Los Santos Tuners. The update, which players can download starting today, adds a ton of new cars for players to cruise around in and a car meet to show off that chrome.

By far the largest part of today’s update for GTA Online is the LS Car Meet, a new social hub for players. Unlike other hubs, like the game’s Diamond Resort and Casino, the Meet is completely centered around cars, how much you can customize them, and how fast they can go. At the LS Car Meet, players will be able to show off their rides, modify vehicles in real-time, take cars for a test drive, or even see whose car is faster on a test track. Don’t worry about anyone blowing your ride up at the LS Car Meet, either; it’s a totally combat-free zone.

Since this update is all about cars, it’s only fitting that an entire fleet of them are being added to the game. A total of 10 new cars can be purchased in GTA Online starting today, including the following:

  • Obey Tailgater S
  • Annis Euros
  • Dinka RT3000
  • Annis ZR350
  • Vulcar Warrener HKR
  • Karin Calico GTF
  • Annis Remus
  • Dinka Jester RR
  • Karin Futo GTX
  • Vapid Dominator GTT

More cars will be added to the game in the coming weeks and later on this year when GTA Online launches on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, the cars arriving alongside the game’s next-gen leap will be exclusive to those consoles, likely leaving last-gen players in the dust.

A number of other new features also are heading to GTA Online today, including the ability to finally customize your radio. Specifically, players will be able to customize their radio wheel and pick which stations appear. Some new tunes are also heading to the game, but you’ll have to find them. Music sticks are scattered across the map, and they add new songs to your rotation when they’re picked up.

All GTA Vice City cheats: PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC
Grand Theft Auto City's main character stands in front of a neon sign.

The past has never looked so good. That applies not only to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City -- Definitive Edition itself, but also the 1980s-inspired style of the titular city. This entry was a blast from the past when it was first released, and it's downright retro today. Thanks to the face-lift this remastering has provided, it has never been easier to go back and relive the story of Tommy Vercetti and his quest for revenge in this visually overwhelming take on an exaggerated version of a crime-infested '80s city.

As much love as this entry received when it came out for its story and characters -- it's still often considered one of the best games released on that entire generation of consoles -- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City pushed open-world games in a whole new direction. In keeping with series tradition, which continues to be the case, this title was jam-packed with cheats that can completely change how the game is played. This game has far more than any other in the recently released trilogy, making it ripe for revisiting to see what crazy antics you can cause. There are even a few new ones not included in the original, so even die-hard fans will want to see our full list of all the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City -- Definitive Edition cheat codes.

The best GTA characters of all-time
The protagonists of GTA V pose for the camera.

Ever since the GTA franchise became what it is today with Grand Theft Auto 3, Rockstar has packed their worlds full of colorful and rich characters. While we've only been able to control male characters up until now (though that is set to change if the GTA 6 rumors are true), they have all had distinct and interesting personalities and stories. That said, sometimes it's the side characters that can steal the show too. Looking back at the entire series, we've come up with our picks for the best GTA characters of all time.
Carl 'CJ' Johnson -- GTA: San Andreas

Good old Carl Johnson, better known as CJ, is way more than just a meme. San Andreas was the second game in the series to really focus on character in a major way, and the team nailed it with their lead. Not only was the entire cast filled with bonafide actors, but CJ's personal story as a gang member whose mother is murdered was far more nuanced and emotional than the media would lead you to believe. The real draw was the relationship CJ had with the main antagonist Officer Tenpenny (who may or may not be mentioned later on). This game set the standard for how Rockstar would reveal more about the characters and world through casual conversation throughout the story.
