If you want the GTA 5 news highlights of the past week without having to scour through previous posts, our weekly news roundup posts are for you. Published every Friday just before (or after) City of the Week, we'll collect everything worth knowing that happened in the past seven days in one neat post.
The main headline-stealer this week was none other than Red Dead Redemption 2, the recently announced follow-up and presumable prequel to 2010's hit game Grand Theft Horse Red Dead Redemption. However, the hints that the new game is about to be announced weren't dropped until monday, and the weekend saw some interesting posts too.
With the season to get spooky being upon us, many players have been clamoring for a Halloween Surprise-like DLC for GTA Online this year as well. While in most likelihood we're going to see a rerun of last year's Halloween DLC, a few neat ideas for new content had floated about the community. We collected a few of these and added our own in a post exploring what an all new update would be like.
Following this light-hearted Halloween post, we tackled one of the most controversial topics related to GTA Online: the prices on in-game items. The idea that things in the game cost so much just to boost Shark Card sales in a greedy cash-grab has become widespread — however as a matter of fact, that isn't the case. We elaborate on the relationship of prices and endgame content in GTA Online in our post here.
Finally, we topped off the weekend with a public service post giving new and returning players a guideline as to what items are necessary or good to have in GTA Online. While it isn't a guide per-se, the post is intended to help players gain more enjoyment from playing the game, while also getting better at it by saving cash that they would have wasted otherwise.
