It looks like GTA 5's Michael might be coming to GTA Online

A new mysterious NPC has been added to GTA Online, which might not sound too exciting on its own, but it may just point towards some future content for the massively popular action adventure game.

But before we talk about this NPC, we need to lay some groundwork. Data Miner rollschuh2282 discovered a new scenario spawn point in GTA online. This spawn point, located in front of the Record A studios.

This spawn point, found with a “movie_set” pedestrian model set, was dug up from Xbox Series X/S and PS5 game files. This bit of code sleuthing, paired with the recent Vespucci Job remix featuring numerous references to movies and cinema, has led some to speculate that a future content update focused on the movies is on the way.

When it comes to flying in GTA Online, I’m only good at heading in one direction –down. I’d consider it an achievement to land a plane without overshooting the runway, or set down a helicopter without catching the rotors in the world geometry and turning the vehicle into a giant frag grenade...

GTA Online weekly update boosts VIP work and the Vespucci Job

Another Thursday means another GTA Online weekly update is upon us. The official patch notes from Rockstar Games will appear later today, but the crime game's multiplayer update is live and so we have all the important information for you right here, right now.

This week boosts a whole range of activities, most notably doubling the rewards for VIP work, which can be undertaken while acting as a VIP or CEO of an organisation. Players can earn double the usual in-game cash prize and reputation point boost for taking part in these events. Bodyguards and associates will also receive double the normal salary for signing up to help out a VIP/CEO.

The in-game cash and reputation point rewards are also doubled on a new remix of 'the Vespucci Job,' an Italian Job-inspired adversary mode which pits a player in a compact Issi Classic against a team of police interceptors. The doubled rewards this week also apply to truck off, mobile operations, motorcycle club work and contracts, and the missile base, diamond, and bunker adversary modes.

GTA 5 just sold another 5 million copies as GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition fails to stay relevant

Only a few months ago, we heard that the Grand Theft Auto series overall continued to sell like hotcakes: as of February 2022, unit sales for the series topped 370 million, with the latest mainline release – GTA 5 – sales sitting pretty at over 160 million units.

Fast-forward three months, and the game has – somehow – sold even more. During Take-Two Interactive's conference call for Q4 2022, the publisher noted that GTA 5 sold yet another 5 million units over the last three months.

This means that the Grand Theft Auto Series, combined, has now sold 375 million copies across the globe since the last count. When you think about it, doesn't sound too good for the GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition, which didn't even make it to 1 million units sold over the last quarter. Chalk that one up to delayed physical editions, horrendous bugs, and missing files.
