Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

The new generation upgrades also extend to Grand Theft Auto Online, an ever-evolving Grand Theft Auto universe. Rise through the criminal ranks by banding together to complete Jobs for cash, purchase properties, vehicles and character upgrades, compete in traditional competitive modes, or create your own content to play and share with the Grand Theft Auto community.

All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customization will also be available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PS4, Xbox One or PC.

In addition to an extra seven new RC Bandito tracks across locations such as Fort Zancudo, Paleto Forest and Vespucci Pier, this week in GTA Online brings the Arena War Creator, allowing players to design their own Arena Vehicle Deathmatches and select Arena Races using any of the Arena Contender vehicles.

Several enhancements are also now available in the Race Creator, along with the addition of After Hours vehicles, including the Pegassi Oppresssor Mk II and Declasse Scramjet, along with many others.

New RC Bandito Races

The pint size pandemonium of RC Bandito Races expands out across Los Santos and Blaine County, with seven additional tracks across new and diverse locations including Fort Zancudo, Paleto Forest and Vespucci Pier:

• RC - Cargo Chaos: In Los Santos, the glass is always half full. Take Elysian Island, for instance. Look beyond the poorly secured machinery and the routine workplace fatalities, and see a glorious opportunity for some remote-controlled mayhem.
• RC – Arena Tour: What happens in the arena, stays in the arena. But if you really need to settle a score, you do it the old-fashioned way: fast laps around the building in an RC Bandito.
• RC – Pierless: Vespucci Pier feels like a low-level acid trip at the calmest of times. See it from the perspective of a twitchy RC car clocking in 30mph past the candy floss stand, and get ready to loosen that mental grip...
• RC – Water Pressure: The filtration system at the Land Act Reservoir was designed to cope with silt, trash, roadkill, light aircraft and human remains. How about remote-control cars, you say? Only one way to find out.
• RC - Tourist Trail: Paleto forest is home to more invasive species than anywhere else in the state. Top of the list: morons with RC cars tearing up the undergrowth one irreplaceable habitat at a time.
• RC - Tour of Duty: If you want to get under the radar at Fort Zancudo, you have two choices. One involves getting pretty friendly with the boys in C Company, and the other involves hopping the fence and supercharged RC cars too small to show up on the scanners. Your call...
• RC – Mirror Image: What does end phase hipsterism look like? Well, racing around Mirror Park in a car so small you can't actually get inside it is definitely a contender.

And now all 15 RC Bandito Races will be awarding Double GTA$ and RP through March 6.

Arena War Creator & Other Creator Tools

Become an architect of mass destruction and mass entertainment in one fell swoop with the Arena War Creator, now available in GTA Online. 

Using any of the Arena Contender vehicles, create your own Arena Vehicle Deathmatches and Arena Races using the Future Shock, Apocalypse and Nightmare styles. Set special lighting rigs and arena props and practice your maniacal laughter for when your friends say they have what it takes. 

Additionally, After Hours vehicles - including the Pegassi Oppressor Mk II and the Declasse Scramjet, along with many others - are now available to use in other Creator modes.

We’ve also added the ability to remove a number of fixtures in the Race Creator. After placing a checkpoint in a race, use the Fixture Removal tool in the Placement Menu to remove up to 25 items from the map including road signs, lamp posts and more.  

And look for a new Creator Guide for Arena War to be posted later today on Social Club.
