GTA Online introduces a new class of races with a week of special rewards

GTA Online introduces a new class of races with a week of special rewards, along with discounts on cars and properties.

If something has kept GTA 5 as the best-selling game week after week, it’s GTA Online. Even though the base game is incredible, what has given it its exceptional longevity is the popularity of GTA Online. Both for all the people who use it to play role-playing games and those who focus on what the experience curated by Rockstar itself offers. Because this week, in addition, Rockstar has decided to enhance one of the parts of the game experience with a new inclusion.

Rockstar has just introduced Drag Races and, until January 31st, they will give double rewards in GTA Online, both in RP and GTA$. In these races, timing is important, as you will have to dodge traffic while trying to outperform your competitors, always with a limited amount of nitro. To start, you will need a Mimi Membership at the LS Car Meet, and if you don’t have one yet, you’re in luck. During this week, the membership will cost 50% less, making it much easier to join these crazy urban races.

If racing is not your thing, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on better rewards. Auto Shop heist contracts also have double rewards throughout the week, just like in the Rhino Hunt competition, which will allow you to have motorized action without the need to compete in speed races if that’s not your thing. Although you better enjoy theft or senseless destruction. Two very GTA-like things, by the way.

In addition, during this week, there are juicy discounts on everything related to cars. The properties, modifications, and improvements of Auto Shop have a 30% discount, and there are also several showrooms that will allow you not only to acquire exclusive vehicles only during this week but also to get some of them with a juicy discount.

All of this will remain in effect until January 31st. So if you like cars and their possibilities, you should take advantage of burning GTA Online and getting more rewards and benefits while they are still active. Because even though Rockstar surely have something new in mind, not every week they give so much love to car lovers.

The source code of GTA V seems to have been leaked: canceled DLCs, new modes, and much more

This poses significant security issues for GTA Online, as the game could quickly become a high-risk environment for players.

The offices of Sam Houser must be really angry this end of the year. After a worker’s son leaked 20 seconds of the GTA 6 trailer ahead of time, a hacker uploaded the entire video on social media the day before the worldwide premiere of the trailer. This forced Rockstar to take action and release the video about 16 hours earlier.

And now, after two leaks in a month, the source code of GTA 5 seems to have been leaked as well, with all that it implies. And it’s not insignificant, especially considering that the game is still Rockstar’s cash cow.

Rumors have emerged suggesting that the source code for Grand Theft Auto 5, along with a wide range of other confidential materials from Rockstar Games, has been leaked online on Christmas Day.

This incident occurred after initial reports last year hinted at a partial leak of GTA 5 source code.

A year to forget and a problem to investigate

Rockstar Games has faced a tumultuous year, dealing with a series of security breaches that have tarnished their operations. Last year, the company was shaken by a breach in its network that led to the unauthorized release of nearly an hour of gameplay from the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6.

The situation became complicated again due to another leak that forced the developers to officially release the trailer ahead of time. And now, it seems that Rockstar Games is facing an even greater challenge with this latest leak.

A recent tweet from GTA Focal reveals that the source code of GTA 5 has been leaked on the Internet, following its previous exchange among individuals. It has been reported that today’s leak affected a 4 GB file mainly composed of code, although a complete version covering the entire source code has not been observed.

This extensive source file, which includes assets and 3D models, would likely allow for the construction and execution of the game. Given the considerable size of the complete source code, which is rumored to be around 200 GB, its leakage seems less straightforward.

Although the original link has been removed, the source code has already started circulating widely on various social media platforms. Apparently, Take-Two Interactive is actively working to remove online links to the source code of Grand Theft Auto 5.

Despite these efforts, reports are emerging of hackers deliberating on the possible release of this extensive 200 GB source file. It is believed that this incident originates from the same security breach that occurred last year, with the key difference being that the files have not been made public until now.

This leak also affects GTA 6

The situation worsens with the revelation that the leak not only affects GTA 5, but also includes files from the long-awaited Bully 2, which has not yet been released, and parts of the GTA 6 code.

In addition, the leak exposes several unreleased files from GTA 5. For example, several unreleased DLCs have been leaked, including the Trevor expansion for GTA 5, which had already appeared in previous reports.

They have also unearthed a development map for a project known as “Agent”, a canceled project that was rumored to be inspired by the James Bond franchise.

The implications of this leak are particularly serious, as it opens up the possibility for hackers to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in the source code, allowing them to remotely execute code on players’ systems.

This poses significant security problems for GTA Online, as the game could quickly become a high-risk environment for players. In addition, fans have noticed that the date coincides with the holiday season, a period in which many developers are likely on vacation, which could worsen the situation for both Rockstar Games and its development team.

Bully 2 could be a reality if we pay attention to the GTA 5 database

Bully 2 could be a reality, if we pay attention to the GTA 5 database, although we fear that it is a reality that was in the past

Although we’re all waiting for GTA 6, there’s life beyond GTA. The good folks at Rockstar Games have taken care of other highly popular franchises that we shouldn’t overlook either. And we’re not just talking about Red Dead Redemption. Because, even though we sometimes seem to forget, they have one cult game that, unfortunately for its many fans, has gone more unnoticed in recent years. We’re not talking about any other game but the legendary Bully.

Now, there are indications that Bully 2 might have been a reality at some point. This discovery stems from a person who found several references to the game within the code of GTA 5.

To explain this, it’s crucial to understand that video game databases often contain unused information—abandoned concepts, bits of code from other projects, and various types of data. Recently, a file from the GTA 5 database was leaked, and a Twitter user named @billsyliamgta found a line of code referencing GTA 4, Midnight Club Los Angeles, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Bully 2.

This confirms that, at the very least, work has been done on the game at some point. As @billsyliamgta himself points out, the file contains content that was discarded and later repurposed for GTA Online, such as the use of jetpacks.

We know that initially, Rockstar’s co-founder Dan Houser wrote a script for a Bully sequel back in 2008. Additionally, during 2019, there was development on the game, but after 18 months, it was canceled. While this sequel was never officially announced, this seems to confirm that indeed, at least at one time, Bully 2 did exist.

GTA fans are trying to figure out its release date by studying the phases of the Moon

GTA 6 is the most anticipated game for a long time and that is why fans are looking to find out when it will be announced… in the phases of the moon?!

We never tire of repeating that few games are as anticipated as GTA 6. Probably none. GTA 5 continues to break records, selling as if it were new, with GTA Online not only refusing to die but proving to have more life than ever with each passing month. At Rockstar Games, they have few or no reasons to hasten the process, but that doesn’t make their fans any less restless. They’ve reached the point of speculating about things that seem closer to divination than anything else.

Grand Theft Auto V DOWNLOAD

That’s what happened on September 29th. Rockstar Games announced that to celebrate the Happy Moon Festival, they would distribute special shirts to all users who logged into their servers during that week. Something completely innocuous until a Twitter user, named Dirty_Worka, decided to read into it further.

According to this person, the Moon depicted in the screenshot they shared was a Waxing Gibbous Moon. The next time the Moon would be in this phase was on Monday, October 2nd, which could mean that it was a spoiler that not only a GTA 6 teaser would be released that day but also a major new game announcement. As it’s now October 4th, we know that divination through Moon phases didn’t work out. Except for one obvious detail. Moon phases are regular.

As Dirty_Worka pointed out in their tweet, the next Waxing Gibbous Moon phase is on Wednesday, November 1st, 2023. That means they could still be right, and in a little less than a month, we might learn more about the new GTA. However, it’s also possible that Moon phases don’t mean anything, and we might all just be losing our minds a little. And if that’s the case, who’s to say we didn’t have fun along the way?
