Master GTA V with this incredible fan-made map

You may think you’ve already seen everything there is to see in GTA V, but with a recently updated map from Redditor The_Mighty_Tspoon, you can know for sure. The map shows the island of Los Santos in a Google Maps-level of detail, and you can find everything from clothes shops to Easter eggs through the interface.

Available on the Web, on iOS, and Android, the map puts Rockstar’s own in-game efforts to shame. You can fire it up on your smartphone or your laptop while playing the game and track down all of the collectibles you haven’t picked up and the side missions you’ve yet to complete. The app has actually been in development for a couple of years and the version available today feels polished enough to be official.

Recent updates to the app mean you can now add your own personal notes and track your progress in tracking down collectibles. There are 50 different sets of markers to play around with, covering mysterious alien glyphs, places to catch the metro, golf courses and just about everything else you can find within the GTA V universe. You can opt for the traditional in-game design, a satellite view, or a conventional map view.

And there’s more to come: The developer has just started adding street names to the map and promises you’ll be able to search through them soon. It’s just the sort of tool you need if you’ve worked your way through most of the game and need some motivation to finish it off — it’s also worth a look if you haven’t played GTA V for a while, as it’s a fascinating look at everything Rockstar managed to include.

The launch of GTA V‘s online multiplayer mode and its arrival on PC have breathed new life into a game that originally launched in September 2013. It’s now possible to film your own movies inside the GTA world and a fully realized recreation of Vice City is just one of many mods on the way.

You were probably bored during Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, but were you "film an entire documentary in Grand Theft Auto Online" bored? Grand Theft Hamlet is just that sort of project, and after winning the documentary feature jury award at SXSW this year, it's going to get a theatrical and streaming release.

As reported in The Hollywood Reporter, independent and art house streaming service Mubi has acquired the rights to distribute Grand Theft Hamlet, a documentary that follows two actors who want to stage a production of William Shakespeare's Hamlet in GTA Online's world. If the clip below is any indication, they run into some issues, as is expected for a game where provoking violence against others is part of the fun.

One of the most popular games on Steam has hit a snag for Steam Deck players. Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online are no longer supported for Valve's PC handheld.

Rockstar Games explains in a post for Update 1.69 (and spotted by The Verge), that its game won't be supported by Steam Deck due to the integration of BattlEye Anti-Cheat for Grand Theft Auto Online. The goal was to put a limit on cheating in its open-world MMO, but that came at the cost of Steam Deck support.

If you were hoping Grand Theft Auto 6 would launch day one on Xbox Game Pass, you're out of luck. Take-Two Interactive execs have been hesitant to launch the company's games on subscription services on Xbox Game Pass, and that will continue to be the case, according to the CEO's recent comments.

In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz ahead of the company's latest financial report, CEO Strauss Zelnick candidly said that while he believes the addition of the Call of Duty franchise will push players to the service for a bit, it won't affect Take-Two's release strategy.
