According to new rumors, the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V rework will come packed with a set of new in-game music tracks for the various radio stations available via radio from a car or a player's home.
One of the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto V is called Non Stop Pop FM, and according to Cara Delevingne, a model who has been the host of the in-game radio station, players will be able to experience a set of new tracks when the rework is released, along with new content in between songs.
This update isn't exactly massive, but it's one of the added details that will make the new Grand Theft Auto rework for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the PC worth buying. Even if you already own GTA V on a previous gen console, the range of new changes to the game should even make purchasing GTA for your new console quite tempting.
Rockstar could have easily just put the same game onto new consoles with a slightly better resolution and frame rate, but instead they are really embracing

Grand Theft Auto V was such a big success on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, that it'd almost seem stupid for Rockstar to not release it on next gen consoles. However, ever since it's release, all we've had to hear about a next gen GTA V are rumors, rumors and more rumors.
At this point in time, it would make sense that Rockstar are probably already working on it behind closed curtains.
Recently, an international retailer has put up a product listing for none other than Grand Theft Auto V for PC and Xbox One. The product listing also included details on a release date. Not only is there a product listing up for GTA V next gen, but the retailer in question, SuperGame Czech, is actually taking pre-orders for an Xbox One version and a PC version for Grand Theft Auto V.
Either the Czech retailer has made a very, very big slip up, or they have received information from Rockstar about a release date for a PC and a next gen version of the latest Grand Theft Auto. According

GTA Online had a rocky start, but after all of the bugs and server issues were ironed out, it has been clean sailing for a lot of player since then. However, that all changed over the Christmas period when a huge surge of exploits, hacks, cheats and glitches came in that completely ruined the economy and made getting a shiny new Adder as easy as buying your first new pair of pants.
The newest title update for Grand Theft Auto V, update 1.09, has been release to try and combat all of the recent going-ons and happenings, and with no real content released in the latest update, it's clear that these problems have slowed down content production just a little bit.
The biggest change for any wannabe cheater is that Rockstar have now improved and bolstered up their anti-cheat system. It's so far unknown how effective it will be, but hopefully it will be able to do a good job at catching the culprits, and won't bring up any false negatives.
A lot of the glitches and exploits

A new Grand Theft Auto 5 patch has been released, and it has what might just be the biggest glitch of all-time. Whilst early on in the release of GTA Online, the game was filled with hackers, money was a pretty abundant thing.
Many hackers would infinitely increase their payroll, go into servers and just payout cash to other players in the lobby. This ended up with thousands of players owning the best houses, cars and weapons within a few days.
Fortunately, Rockstar solved this issue, and largely removed everybody's excess cash from their in-game bank accounts, but it looks like we may see another influx of highly valuable items because patch 1.22 has an interesting flaw in it that allows players to receive infinite amounts of money.
To pull off this glitch, you will need two players. One player will need to head to the tuner shop and mod up a car to be as expensive as possible. Once the car has been modded, players can then leave the garage.
Now that your car

The Grand Theft Auto V storyline was one of the most enjoyable single player experience I've had this year, and despite there being some great releases this year such as the Last of Us, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and so many more, there's nothing out there that could replace the GTA experience.
If you've enjoyed Grand Theft Auto V but have run the bloodstream dry out of the current single player offering, you may be happy to hear that Rockstar have some great things planned for the story line in 2014.
Just like with Grand Theft Auto IV, GTA V will have some extended storyline content added through DLC packs. Rockstar has confirmed that the DLC content will be released in 2014 and will continue the story's of Michael, Franklin and Trevor.
On top of this, a lot of work is going into the GTA Online experience, and 2014 will be a great year for the multiplayer portion of the game. In 2014, Rockstar will fully release the content creator, introduce new missions and mission

It has been confirmed by Rockstar that the first GTA Online title update will arrive this week, along with the first stimulus package containing $250,000 for all players that have had to deal with the GTA Online launch problems on the first week.
The 1.05 patch should be out sometime this week, and will fix some issues with character save problems, loss of data, reputation level, and other in-game personal belongings like cash and personal vehicles.
Because of all of the trouble players have had to deal with since the launch of the online portion of the game, Rockstar has previously revealed that they will be gifting $500k in-game money to all players that play the game within the first month of release.
To stop the influx of money from completely ruining the in-game economy and stock trading systems, Rockstar has decided to split the $500k gift into two $250k stimulus packages.
The first Stimulus package was meant to be gifted to players in the first week of

Rockstar has previously teased about the upcoming free DLC pack to GTA Online, but they have now confirmed an actual release date for the extra content.
Rockstar has stated that the Beach Bum DLC pack will be downloadable for free in November. Rockstar also mentioned that the DLC will include "all-new beach themed vehicles and new weaponry that you'll be able to use in both GTA Online and Story Mode".
On top of this, the Beach Bum DLC pack will add new customization options such as new tattoos and hairstyles, brand new jobs and missions including new gang attacks, survivals, deathmatches and races.
Later this autumn, we'll also be given access to the first part of the creator tools Rockstar have explained before the release of GTA Online. This will mean that before the end of the year, we will be able to create and play our own death matches and race jobs online with other players.
Once an event is created, players will be able to like or dislike it just like

After Grand Theft Auto V's amazingly successful launch, Microsoft have finally made a digital version of the game available for download on the Xbox Game's Store.
Like many of the full games available on the Xbox Games Store, the digital version of Grand Theft Auto V will go for $59.99 in the United States, and possibly around £50 in the UK. You will also need a total of 7.63GB free space to download the game onto your hard drive.
Whilst Microsoft have only just stepped up and released a digital copy of the game on their console's game marketplace, it has been available on the PlayStation Network since the game's launch.
Many players have complained that the PlayStation 3 digital version has had problems with textures popping in and out, texture clipping issues, and other strange and unexplainable glitches such as parts of the game spawning late or not spawning at all.
According to reports from officials, this is due to the hard drive not being able to stream

A bit of information found on a Rockstar New England staff's LinkedIn page has given us a little insight into what another development team belonging to Rockstar could be working on at this very moment in time.
Found on the LinkedIn page was the information stating that the Rockstar developer is currently working on "the next version of a famous IP," however other than this, no details are shared on the LinkedIn page.
Luckily though, with a little bit of digging around, we may be able to get more of an idea of what game Rockstar New England could be working on.
The first thing to take notice of is that the LinkedIn page said "next version of a famous IP" meaning it has to be a follow-up to an already released game or game series, and it has to be a popular one too, but seeing as this is Rockstar we're talking about, it's pretty hard to determine what isn't considered a popular Rockstar IP.
Rockstar New England has previously worked on a few different games, but

In a big open world game that allows players to randomly kill each other at will, there has to be some kind of penalty to killing innocent players to stop the game turning into an endless large scale deathmatch.
Rockstar did something a little different to punish continued random killings in GTA Online, and general jerkiness could end up with some terrible consequences.
The first thing that can happen if you continue to be a jerk by quitting games, killing players and ruining other's experiences on GTA Online is that you'll start to be joined with other jerks just like you. If you keep it up, you'll be stuck playing in the time out corner of GTA Online with all the other naughty criminals who can't refrain from messing with other players.
If you decide to start playing nicely, you'll be freed after two real days, and after that point you'll be initiated back into average people society.
You won't be able to play with your friends after you get the 'bad sport'
