It's been over a decade since GTA V dropped, and yep, we're still out here in Los Santos, grinding missions, customizing rides, and causing chaos. While Rockstar's been suspiciously quiet about GTA 6 after dropping Trailer 1, GTA Online's player base refuses to let the hype die. In fact, they're the reason the game's still poppin'. Here's how the GTA fam is keeping the streets of Los Santos buzzing, even in 2025.
1. Roleplay Servers are Basically a Whole Other Game
Let's be real — GTA RP is a different vibe. Forget heists and street races; you can be a cop, a criminal, a CEO, or even a fast-food worker. Servers like NoPixel and Eclipse RP are jam-packed with daily drama, hilarious storylines, and top-tier improv. Some streamers have built entire careers playing characters in GTA RP. It's like GTA meets Netflix — and the community writes the script.
2. Mods, Mods, Mods
The modding community deserves a crown. From realistic graphics to flying cars and Thanos-level chaos, there's a mod for everything. People have recreated full-on GTA 6 leaks using mods. It's giving fan-made DLC, and it's keeping things fresh for those who've seen everything the vanilla game offers.
3. In-Game Events & Player-Created Chaos
Rockstar's updates are cool, but the real party? It's in player-organized events. Car meets, stunt challenges, underground racing circuits, and even music festivals — all planned and executed by fans. These events are streamed, recorded, and shared like virtual block parties, keeping the vibe alive 24/7.

4. TikTok & YouTube = GTA Central
Scroll through TikTok or YouTube, and GTA content is everywhere. From funny skits to insane stunts and RP highlights, creators are constantly feeding the hype beast. Some are even cooking up GTA 6 theories and wishlists that have us more excited than Rockstar's trailers.
5. The GTA Economy is Basically Wall Street
Players are still hustling hard. Businesses, nightclubs, bunker runs — the grind is real. Whether it's stacking cash for that luxury yacht or owning every high-rise in the game, the community stays invested. Literally.
Rockstar might be slow-cooking GTA 6, but GTA Online is aging like fine wine thanks to the players. The creativity, commitment, and chaos of the community are what's keeping the engine running. So yeah, while we wait for the next big thing, Los Santos is still very much alive — and it's all thanks to the fans who never logged out.
Until GTA 6 drops, we'll be in the lobby. Catch us there.

Building the Band: When to watch, what to expect from late singer Liam Payne's final onscreen appearance in Netflix's series
Netflix is set to debut Building the Band on July 9, and while the format is fresh and the talent promising, all eyes will be on one judge in particular — the late Liam Payne. The show now carries emotional weight, offering fans a final look at the beloved One Direction star before his untimely death. A format that hits all the right notes The competition is a blend of The Voice and Love Is Blind, bringing together 50 unknown vocalists who must form bands without ever laying eyes on each other. The only thing they have to rely on? Their voices. Once matched into groups, they will perform live, hoping to win over a formidable judging panel. Meet the judges Guiding the contestants are some of the biggest names in pop history: Liam Payne, Nicole Scherzinger, and Kelly Rowland. Host AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys fame adds a nostalgic twist to the proceedings. From '90s R&B to early-2000s girl power and 2010s boy band mania, these stars bring serious industry pedigree. In the newly released trailer, Payne is seen urging contestants to bond with each other, hinting at the importance of group dynamics — something he knew all too well from his time with One Direction. Nicole, who famously helped assemble 1D on The X Factor, offers sharp critiques, while Kelly lifts spirits with her vocal praise. Goodbye to Liam Payne Payne tragically passed away on October 16, 2024, after a fatal fall in Argentina. Netflix confirmed the series would continue after conversations with his family, who gave their blessing in January 2025. What was originally a judging gig has now become his final performance, making the show a heartfelt tribute. His One Direction bandmates released a statement mourning their 'brother' and celebrating the memories they shared. For long-time fans, Building the Band offers closure, comfort, and one last opportunity to see Liam doing what he loved, supporting new talent. When to watch The first four episodes drop on July 9, with more episodes to follow over the next two weeks. Whether you are a fan of reality competitions or simply want to honour Liam's legacy, this one is worth tuning in for.

ETimes reviewed for the film reads, 'Ajay Devgn and his sunglasses are intense. He portrays the old-school heroism with swag. He has a solid comic timing too. You wish that aspect was explored more here. The film has some clever one-liners too that mock the sycophants and the corrupt as it oscillates between no frills and old school dramatic storytelling. Raid 2 stays true to its theme, but it takes itself a bit too seriously.
