The latest free update to Grand Theft Auto Online is available for both Xbox 360 and PS3 users, you'll be prompted to update next time you start the game. The High Life update offers a whole load of new features and bug fixes. We mentioned these in last week's news post but in case you've forgotten, below is a brief summary of the changes. You can also head over to the Rockstar Newswire if you'd like to read what Rockstar themselves have to say about this new update. Also, if you are absolutely insane, or just love reading stuff, you can check out the full massive list of changes in patch 1.13. 5 brand new high-end apartments Ability to own two apartments simultaneously 4 new vehicles - Enus Huntley S (SUV), Dewbauchee Massacro (Sports), Pegassi Zentorno (Super) and Dinka Thrust (Motorcycle) - these will also be available in Story mode 1 new weapon - Bullpup Rifle Non-contact option for racing! New mental state stat for your character. New wardrobe options, vehicle horns and player toasts/celebrations as well as 15 new Jobs - including 5 new Contact Missions

As promised, Rockstar have just given details on the next free update for GTA Online - The High Life. It'll be arriving on your console next week on Tuesday the 13th of May. Full details from the Newswire post below, but here are the highlights: 5 brand new high-end apartments Ability to own two apartments simultaneously 4 new vehicles - Enus Huntley S (SUV), Dewbauchee Massacro (Sports), Pegassi Zentorno (Super) and Dinka Thrust (Motorcycle) - these will also be available in Story mode 1 new weapon - Bullpup Rifle Non-contact option for racing! New mental state stat for your character. New wardrobe options, vehicle horns and player toasts/celebrations as well as 15 new Jobs - including 5 new Contact Missions

As you may have heard, unfortunately GameSpy is due to close its servers on the 31st May. In case you're not aware, GameSpy has been around for a very long time, since 1996 in fact, and was a well established server host used by a large amount of games to provide online services such as multiplayer, leaderboards, and other stat tracking features. The closure of these services means that many games must transition their use of GameSpy's servers to an alternative solution by patching their existing code. While many newer games won't be affected (as of January 2013 the software wasn't available for license), many older ones will, and this includes some Rockstar titles (listed at the end of this article). If you're interested in the history of GameSpy and just why this is happening, our friends at Rockstar Nexus have a nice little write up about it, you may not know that Rockstar actually experimented with using it as far back as GTA III. If you're only interested in how this affects your Rockstar titles, see below. Most changes will only be in the form of stats or leaderboards. As pointed out by Rockstar Nexus, one title Rockstar Games did not mention here is Midnight Club II, which we believe makes use of GameSpy for its multiplayer. Due to the age of that game, we can assume Rockstar will simply discontinue multiplayer features due to (presumed) lack of activity.

The Capture Creator update for GTA Online we mentioned earlier this week is now available. With over 4 million player-created deathmatches and races already available, the addition of Capture Creator gives the community even more freedom to create their own customised jobs. As they've done in the past with deathmatches and races, Rockstar will be periodically reviewing your creations and deeming the best ones R* Verified. To kickstart the creatives among you, Rockstar is holding a little contest. Here's the details if you're up for a challenge:

Pretty big update for GTAV/GTA Online today with Rockstar releasing title update 1.12 for both PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. There is an absolute ton of changes, fixes, updates etc. which we'll list at the end of this post. Rockstar have also announced that from now until Friday - when Capture Creator arrives - you can get double RP and GTA$ from any of the official Capture jobs currently available. Title Update 1.12 The title update, available today, has a massive change log. Highlights include: The full change log is far too big to list here, so if you're interested in seeing all the things that have changed, take a look at the Rockstar Support page.

What we could do with is less anti-GTAF topics... Seriously though, I skimmed through what you just wrote and yeah I'm not sure why a mod would remove it and yeah the section mods have been known to be extremely anal and/or selective about what/who they actually moderate, but complaining about it here won't do any good. Forums aren't really as democratic as they sometimes pretend to be, at the end of the day what goes is whatever the mods say. If you've been unfairly warned or had your comments deleted there's not really anything you can do about it, if it happens frequently then just accept that someone for some reason has a personal vendetta against you, and either deal with it and move on or just leave. It's most likely not worth fighting, it's just a videogame forum after all, this isn't real politics. That said, appreciate the sentiment about us being more lenient. I'm a big fan of free speech and aside from obvious spam/porn/piracy etc. we're happy with letting most stuff go here, we realise in the majority of cases it's not causing problems for anyone so there's no reason to delete it. And being such a small and inactive forum now, nothing really has any far reaching effects we need to be worried about anyway.

Rockstar have just announced their plans for Spring updates to GTA Online, including (finally) the addition you've all been waiting for: Heists! Below is a full summary of what to expect from forthcoming updates, but first, some highlights: Heists Creator updates (ability to create Capture maps) Ability to own two different properties, giving you extra storage space for more vehicles Rollback of previous title update which changed bike handling in the air (this has already been done, stunting is now better again) Non-contact option for races. Since so many twats seem to have no idea that "Race" and "GTA Race" are two different game types, R* have finally added an option to turn off collisions (with other players) meaning we can actually have fun and go racing for real now! Some new weapons and vehicles Other general fixes and refinements Full Summary

Thanks I will look into this and if true it'll be fixed for the next update. I personally tested all GTA V cheats myself on PS3 though so I'm surprised this is being reported, perhaps I made an error copying and pasting something... UPDATE: Just went and tested this. Turns out both codes work for that cheat, I'm not sure why it has two working codes but it does. both Xbox 360 codes work too.

Hey guys, Within the next week we'll have a nice update out for our GTA Cheats app, which has become somewhat of a worldwide success thanks in part to the release of GTA V back in September spurring mass downloading of the app. Because of this success, we now fairly frequently get requests and/or even negative feedback from users (many of whom are younger folks) who perhaps don't like, or simply are unable to understand English well enough to comfortably use the app. We've analysed the stats, and while we can see the majority are using English, we can also see that approximately one third of users are on devices with their language set to something other than English. One third may not sound a lot, but when you take into account the several million downloads the app has seen, you realise this is a massive amount of people. So to remedy this, we felt the best way would be to crowdsource translations from anyone and everyone who would like to help us out. There's over 400 phrases to translate (yeah, there's a LOT of cheats when you cater to EVERY GTA game!), so we don't expect anyone to translate everything themselves, we're hoping to find a handful of users for each language. So you can translate as much or as little as you like... The more people who help out the quicker we can release updates with the translated files. If you'd like to help us out we'd greatly appreciate it, we're using a site called OneSky to handle everything. To get started take a look at the quick instructions listed at http://on.tgtap.com/TranslateCheats Any questions just post them here, also if you don't see your language listed there let me know what it is and I'll have a look if we have enough users to warrant it. If it's supported we'll probably add it in for you to help with.
