'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds The Karin Boor, License Plate Creator, Upcoming Improvements And More

by Rainier on April 13, 2023 @ 8:19 a.m. PDT

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.

GTA Online players can add a brand-new vehicle to their collection this week as the Karin Boor off-roader is now available for purchase and free for GTA+ Members.

Starting next week, a new web-based License Plate Creator tool will allow players for the first time to create up to 30 custom plates and add more personality to their favorite rides.

We are also planning a few additional changes as part of our ongoing efforts to improve and balance the GTA Online experience: On April 27, the prices of several vehicles, including the Pegassi Oppressor Mk II, will be adjusted to better match their value to players, with more pricing to be re-evaluated in the coming months.

The New License Plate Creator and Upcoming Vehicle Pricing Adjustments
Starting next week, you'll be able to add more personality to your favorite rides with a new web-based License Plate Creator for customizing vanity plates in GTA Online. With this new tool you can create up to 30 custom plates by placing orders via desktop or mobile web browsers — and then pick up and apply your plate in game.

As part of our ongoing improvements to the game — like recent changes to First Dose – Fatal Incursion mission difficulty and adjustments on the amount of GTA$ awarded for The Last Dose missions — we are planning a few more changes soon and will continue to observe and balance the experience over time.

Firstly, we will be updating prices for several current vehicles in GTA Online on April 27 to better reflect their value to players. Certain vehicles will see their cost adjusted down to make them more accessible — including some with fun and unique features and counter-attacking capabilities — like the Imponte Ruiner 2000 and Ocelot Stromberg. Conversely, some vehicles with outsized utility, performance, or powerful weaponry will see their prices increased — such as the Pegassi Oppressor Mk II. Check out the full list of vehicle pricing adjustments below and stay tuned as we will continue re-evaluating vehicle pricing as we move forward.
