GTA Online Los Santos Tuners update is all about the cars

By Otto Kratky July 20, 2021

Grand Theft Auto Online has been a mainstay since the launch of Grand Theft Auto V, thanks 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.

The Elder Scrolls Online’s 2023 updates bring players back to Morrowind

the elder scrolls online shadow over morrowind 2023 updates

Following Xbox and Bethesda's Developer_Direct and a dedicated livestream for The Elder Scrolls Online, we learned that the MMO's 2023 updates are all set in Morrowind. Falling under 2023's Shadow Over Morrowind banner, the first two pieces of DLC in March and June will see the addition of new PvE dungeons and the first new playable class since 2019.
While Morrowind is most famous for being the titular location of the third Elder Scrolls game and 2017's The Elder Scrolls Online expansion, ZeniMax Online Studios teased that some of the areas featured in this expansion haven't been seen since the first game in the series. The player's first taste of this new Shadow Over Morrowind content will come with the Scribes of Fate DLC in March. Scribes of Fate adds two four-player PvE dungeons to the MMO. One sees players fight the Scribes of More in Scrivener's Hall, while the other will have them take on Bal Sunnar.
Scribes of Fate launches on March 13 for PC and Mac players and on March 28 for those on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The more significant update will be The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom chapter, releasing on June 5 for PC and Mac and June 20 for consoles. The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom will add 30 hours of new story content set in eastern Morrowind, two new companions, and a new Arcanist class. Arcanists utilized a variety of offensive and support magic, most of which is based on the powers of a Daedric Prince in Oblivion. For fans of Morrowind and this MMO, it's clear there will be quite a lot to sink your teeth into this year.
The Elder Scrolls Online is available now across PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Grand Theft Auto 3 cheat codes: all weapons, money, cars, and more

The main character from GTA 3 walking with a gun.

The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most influential in all of gaming. The game design, specifically starting with Grand Theft Auto 3, sent ripples not only through how other games were made but even pop culture at large. Even though this was technically the third game in the series, it was such a massive departure that it almost stands as the true beginning for what this open-world crime series would become. Now, thanks to the Grand Theft Auto 3 -- Definitive Edition being released stand-alone or as part of a package, we can relive those early days with a fresh coat of paint and more modern controls.

While the plot and story missions are plenty fun even in this early game, we all know most of the fun in a GTA title comes from messing around in the open world. The level of chaos and interactions you can create is a little limited now, but still worth hours of fun. Anyone who played this game back in the day will tell you, though, that it was the cheats that turned a fun game into a never-ending riot of excitement. Not all the old cheats have come back, unfortunately, so if your memory is a little hazy, there's no need to worry. Here's a full list of all the cheats in Grand Theft Auto 3 -- Definitive Edition and how to activate them on each system.

Rockstar Games hacker reportedly arrested following GTA 6 leak

Lester plans a heist in GTA V key art.

Last weekend, someone hacked Rockstar Games and leaked over 90 videos of the still-in-development Grand Theft Auto 6. Now, the City of London Police in the United Kingdom reportedly arrested the 17-year-old individual responsible for the hack.

BBC and the City of London Police's Twitter account confirmed the arrest took place in Oxfordshire earlier today. The official statement only says that this 17-year-old individual was arrested "on suspicion of hacking, as part of an investigation supported by the NCA UK's National Cyber Crime Unit," but journalist Matthew Keys reports that this is the person who leaked Grand Theft Auto 6 after they hacked Rockstar Games (and possibly hacked Uber as well).
