Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

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.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

Kart Krash: Full Auto Now Available

Go-karts are wonderful inventions: like cars, but smaller, and with less stringent safety regulations. For example, there’s nothing in the legal rulebook prohibiting you from mounting a machine-gun to the front of a Dinka Veto and letting it loose on your rivals, is there? Didn’t think so. Our ancestors could not fathom such a glorious idea, let alone forbid it.

Kart Krash: Full Auto introduces a new flavor of carnage to GTA Online. Players fight to be the last one surviving in teams or chaotic free-for-alls, using the weapons attached to their go-karts and assorted power-ups scattered about the map to take their opponents out.

All competitors will enjoy 2X GTA$ and RP in Kart Krash: Full Auto this week, so get out there and give them hell on four tiny wheels.

Available Now: The Pfister Growler

Have you spotted it yet? There’s something exceptional prowling round Los Santos. They say it sprints like a cheetah and purrs like an African bush elephant in heat. It must be the indomitable Pfister Growler, available now from Legendary Motorsport.

2X GTA$ and RP for Returning Cars on the Exotic Exports List

Auto Shop owners who return cars on the Exotic Exports List will receive 2X GTA$ and RP in return for their services, including on bonus payments for completing the entire list. Visit the blackboard by the Office upstairs in your Auto Shop to see which vehicles need to be re-possessed.

2X GTA$ and RP on Convenience Store Robberies

Pixelated surveillance camera footage recently revealed a robber sticking up cashiers of local businesses from behind the wheel of a go-kart. To celebrate their ingenuity and criminal ambition, thieves who complete Convenience Store Robberies will walk away with double the usual GTA$ and RP. The go-kart part is optional, though encouraged.

Car Meet Prize Ride and Challenge

Members who place in the Top 5 in 10 LS Car Meet Series Races (either Pursuit or Street) this week will drive away with the Vapid Dominator GTT, an archetypical muscle car unafraid to dabble in performance enhancement.

Before you pull the trigger on your next impulse buy, give it a whirl around the columns of the LS Car Meet’s very own test track. This week, Members can test out the yet-to-be released Karin Sultan RS Classic, the brand-new Pfister Growler, and the Vulcar Warrener HKR, all at no personal cost. Challenge your friends (or foes) to a Scramble or race against the clock in a Time Trial to see what these babies can really do.
