GTA Online's weekly update introduces seven new Deadline modes

After a two week absence, GTA Online's weekly update has brought some new goodies for us to mull through. Rockstar Games typically reveals the full rundown in a blogpost on its Newswire later on in the day, but players dip into Los Santos beforehand to see what's new - it goes live on the weekly update, so why wait?

This week we're getting seven new Deadline modes to bring some freshness to our playing routines. We had an idea these were coming, though we didn't know when. Earlier in May, Rockstar revealed that GTA Online's summer update plans included new Deadline modes alongside more races. You're also getting triple the usual rewards on Deadline adversary modes if you needed a wee bit of extra incentive to try the new content out.

If you're looking to make your money elsewhere, though, you've also got triple the usual rewards on A Superyacht Life, which is a series of missions for your, well, yacht. There's plenty of discounts on boats if you fancy joining the club - it's okay, no one will judge you here.

GTA Online players won't let this guy perform Hamlet

GTA Online isn't the most hospitable of places. The public servers tend to be unruly, with every step you take from your apartment inching you closer to a rocket from someone else, which is why plenty flock to GTA RP to live out their performance fantasies. However, one player decided to go against the trend by bringing some live art to the public servers, and it cost the poor lad dearly.

Content creator Rustic Mascara had several goes at performing Hamlet in GTA Online's public servers (thanks, Kotaku). Why? To reappropriate "the world of GTA as a space for meditative existentialism through performance and poetry". It mostly doesn't go well, and he dies a bunch.

He starts by performing Hamlet's To Be Or Not To Be while standing in a lake sporting an undercut and a tank top. It goes pretty well, and he carries out the monologue in the lake free from passers' eyes. Once he takes to the beach, though - the issues begin. He tries to perform another of Hamlet's monologues but is interrupted by several rockets from other players. He does get there eventually, though not to a great deal of fanfare.

GTA Online players respond poorly to an in-game performance of Hamlet

Grand Theft Auto 5's world is one of crude pastiche. Whining DJs and phallic puns plastered against buildings, backdropping the sleaziest excesses of American culture. In an attempt to bring some culture to this world, one YouTuber tried to stage a one-man performance of Hamlet—but quickly found Los Santos to be a city hostile to a bit of Shakespearian flair...

The fastest bikes in GTA 5

Are you struggling to pick up podium placements in Grand Theft Auto 5 motorcycle races? You're not alone. Learning what to pick in the vehicle selection screen of a GTA Online race is difficult enough, especially if custom vehicles are enabled.

But it doesn't have to be hard. We all know that one wrong selection can lead to a pretty rough race, so if you're clever enough to do your research to find out what the fastest bikes in GTA 5 actually are, you're more likely to have more successful races.

There's a lot to think about, though. While you might be tempted to opt for a bike based on its in-game stats or how quickly you think it can do 0-60mph, it's worth considering other factors, like handling and traction too. So with all of that in mind, here are the fastest bikes in GTA 5, based on their top speed, lap times, and price.
