'GTA Online' News: Game's Latest Update Adds New Mode and Other Perks
Fans of "Grand Theft Auto Online" can now enjoy the game's latest offerings, thanks to its update.
Game developer Rockstar announced last Tuesday the new Motor Wars mode where players can more cash, as well as RP. From Tuesday until Sept. 11, gamers playing the new Adversary mode may earn double the money and RP, Gamespot reported.
The mode pits four teams composed of up to 28 players max into a battle zone, fighting for control over a weaponized vehicle. The mode's key feature is that the battleground slowly but surely shrinks. The matches only last for 10 minutes, according to a PC Gamer report.

Last month, Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two explained that "GTA V" and the delayed "Red Dead Redemption 2" will not be competing in terms of sales. Speaking in an earnings call, as reported by Gamespot, CEO Strauss Zelnick said that "when there's more than one title in the marketplace that compels people, the market also expands to take advantage of it."
Zelnick stressed, however, that the market can be competitive, regardless of whether the games come from the same developers or not. "The marketplace can be competitive, but it's rarely directly competitive title-to-title, whether that's a title that comes out under the Take-Two umbrella or any of our competitors or anything else for that matter," he explained.
Despite this, he said that they are "excited and enthusiastic" for the arrival of "Red Dead Redemption 2."
