Rockstar releases background fixes for GTA Online Money Fronts DLC issues
Source: Rockstar Games Following the launch of the summer-themed Money Fronts DLC, Rockstar Games quietly deployed a background update to GTA Online to address various gameplay bugs and progression issues without requiring a visible download. The server-side fixes don't require players to download a manual update. The changes are in reaction to the feedback from the community and are made for smoothing out the experience following the substantial content update. Silent update addresses broken progression and mission crashes As per community insider Tez2, Rockstar's background update dated June 19 is particularly aimed at bugs added with the Money Fronts DLC. Fixing one of the most important issues solves a problem in the "Current Liabilities" mission, in which players were not getting progress credit for completing the Tier 4 challenge despite reaching the maximum bonus. Aside from the progression bug, Rockstar also fixed a crashing bug when starting Mr. Faber missions. Another was a glitch where players couldn't access the Cayo Perico Beach Party after ordering an RC Tank. All these were server-side fixes, which means that these were done without interrupting gameplay through a downloadable patch. For those still experiencing the Tier 4 challenge problem, it's recommended to redo the Current Liabilities mission and gain the best bonus once more, as the solution will now properly monitor progress. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Cardiologist Says This Food Can Do Wonders For Your Health Gundry MD Learn More Undo Background patches stabilize post-DLC gameplay Such server-side updates are standard procedure after large GTA Online content releases.

Rockstar removes PS Plus requirement for GTA Online on PS4 & PS5
Source: Rockstar Games PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players can temporarily play GTA Online without an active PlayStation Plus subscription for a short time. Rockstar and Sony have lifted the PS Plus requirement temporarily as part of the new Money Fronts update celebration, granting more players entry into Los Santos and a taste of the latest features. The free period will expire on July 1. Free GTA Online access now open to everybody on PlayStation — TezFunz2 (@TezFunz2) The PS Plus paywall for GTA Online has been dropped on both PS4 and PS5, so that everybody, whether subscribed to PS Plus or not, can play the game's online universe. This offer coincides with the release of Money Fronts , a new update that brings new criminal businesses, cars, and missions designed to further enrich the player's money-generating opportunities in the game. Rockstar has employed the same access events before, on the occasions of big content drops, to bring back lapsed players or bring in new players. While some of these events have run for a weekend, this one is running for two weeks until July 1. Throughout these two weeks, non-PS Plus players can experience GTA Online in its entirety, purchase new vehicles, engage in jobs, and enjoy community events taking place throughout Los Santos. Why Rockstar is doing this and what players will be getting This type of move is in line with Rockstar and Sony's wider strategy to promote player interest whenever a new update drops. GTA V keeps selling millions of copies each quarter, and for numerous new or casual gamers, the PS Plus subscription can act as a barrier to getting a taste of GTA Online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo By lowering that barrier temporarily, Rockstar makes more people experience the latest updates and maybe stay engaged in the long run. Next week, an additional six vehicles will be included in the game as part of the Money Fronts update, and everyone, subscribed and non-subscribed alike, will have access to them if they play inside this timeframe. Meanwhile, existing PS Plus subscribers also have access to GTA III via the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog under the Extra and Premium plans. With Money Fronts rolling out and free access now available, there's never been a better time to revisit or try GTA Online on PlayStation. Whether you're a returning criminal or just getting started, the streets of Los Santos are open, no subscription required.

GTA Online player kicked by Rockstar for streaming leaked DLC on jailbroken PS5
Source: Rockstar Games A GTA Online gamer was hit with immediate repercussions after trying to livestream unreleased material from the Money Fronts update, set to roll out shortly, using a jailbroken PS5 console. The player was suddenly ejected from the session by a Rockstar Games admin while in the middle of the livestream, explicitly sending a message that the company is actively enforcing unauthorized access before official releases. Rockstar admin bans leaker for early access to Money Fronts update During a livestream of early content from the new Money Fronts DLC, the player was abruptly greeted with a message of: "You have been kicked from this session by a Rockstar Games administrator." The ban was streamed in real time and soon shared on social media, where users remarked upon the streamer playing with an altered PS5 system to view unreleased content. The Money Fronts DLC, which officially comes out on June 17, had previously been preloaded onto Rockstar's servers ahead of time, a routine measure to decongest launch-day traffic. Yet some modders on jailbroken consoles were able to burrow into these preloaded files and trigger aspects of the update early. Not only did the player in question illicitly access the content but also broadcast it to the public at large, which most likely attracted Rockstar's quick reaction. Rockstar's zero tolerance for leaks and unauthorized access Rockstar Games has had a strict policy against cheaters, modders, and leakers for a long time, particularly when it pertains to unreleased material. The studio has upped the ante in the last few years in its efforts to avoid leaks, especially after high-profile ones related to GTA VI and previous GTA Online patches. The ban is disciplinary but also a warning to others who would seek to take advantage of preloaded content. Take-Two, Rockstar's parent company, has also been similarly aggressive in seeking legal and platform-level enforcement against those who break terms of service or leak proprietary content. This recent incident highlights the publisher's larger initiative to maintain control over how and when its material is revealed. The mid-stream banning of a GTA Online player for leaking the Money Fronts DLC on a jailbroken PS5 is a clear message to the community. Rockstar isn't merely observing, it's acting. With the official release of the update just around the corner, the studio has sent word that early access via unofficial channels will not be allowed.

GTA Online winter update could finally introduce purchasable mansions
Image Via Reddit Rockstar Games might be preparing to deliver one of the most requested features in GTA Online: Mansions. Though not officially confirmed, strong evidence from datamined files following the Money Fronts update hints at a winter DLC that will allow players to purchase luxurious homes through a new real estate business. This long-anticipated feature could become a reality just as the game nears the end of its decade-long run. Mansions hinted by new property firm and in-game assignments The most significant tip comes from dataminer Floorball , who dug up text strings mentioning a company called Prix Luxury Real Estate . One of the strings states: "You have earned an exclusive discount on a future property purchase," directly pointing to purchasable properties in the future. These strings were discovered not long after Rockstar rolled out the summer Money Fronts update, further supporting the idea that Rockstar is gearing up for an expansion in real estate. The players can apparently gain this discount now, perhaps as a reward for engaging in the ongoing event. There are also a number of mission prompts in the files referencing helping Mr. Faber's client with luxury property development. These tasks have phases such as "New Listings Due Diligence," "Fixes & Fittings," and "Hard Deadlines," indicating that players may engage in a property-building narrative prior to gaining access to purchase their own mansion. Seeds of a slow-burning construction event and decade-long fan request Rockstar can finally introduce a gradual construction event, which has long been a fan request since the never-done Mile High Club project. Dataminer @HeySlickThatsMe discovered props at two points in the game, which reinforce the notion that an in-game mansion development process is underway. This would be a significant step forward in GTA Online's real estate systems, which have been fairly stagnant since the addition of high-end penthouses and apartments. Fans have repeatedly asked for mansions as an exclusive item since the 2013 release of the game. There were even people who created rumors throughout the years because they wanted it so badly. Though Rockstar hasn't directly announced mansions, the leaked game files provide the strongest indication yet that they're on the way in the winter update. Assuming that's the case, it would be a suitable addition as GTA Online raps up leading into GTA 6, finally providing players with the high life they've fantasized about for more than a decade.
