GTA 5 bolsters online mode ahead of PC launch

Features
By Phil Savage published 4 March 2015

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an commission. Here’s how it works.

Heists are coming to GTA 5's online mode—or GTA Online—on March 10. That's nice, of course, but GTA 5 itself isn't coming to PC until April 14. Nevertheless, Rockstar has announced a series of improvements and extras planned for the Heists update, and all of them are planned for PC at launch.

As players advance through Heists—detailed in this trailer—they'll unlock new "Adversary Modes". These act as additional competitive challenges. Among the new modes is the Warriors-inspired Come Out To Play, in which a team of 'runners' must survive against hunter teams riding ATVs and motorbikes.

In siege mentality, four players must defend a location from six attackers, and in Hasta La Vista a team of big rigs tries to run down a team of cyclists for god only knows what reason.

The update also brings an MMO-style daily system to the game. "Whether you tend towards Jobs or free-form activities, Daily Objectives will give you a rotating series of challenges to take on for GTA$ rewards," explains the Rockstar Newswire.

We'll get all of this, and the rest of the game, on April 14. You can the remaining six weeks by perusing modding GTA 4, or just by generally getting on with your life.
