I modded GTA 5 into a life-sim RPG with mining, foraging, a mini-economy, and the ability to fall asleep in the middle of the road

Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to offer an immersive gaming experience that closely resembles reality. In contrast, Grand Theft Auto 5 seems less immersive by current standards. To enhance the experience, the Roleplay Alone mod was used, allowing players to engage in various activities like mining and cannabis distribution with characters such as Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. The mod introduces tasks that include using a two-handed mattock for mining, with an energy meter that adds realism. Players can assign blue-collar tasks to iconic characters, providing a unique and entertaining twist to the gameplay. Although the mining efforts yielded minimal in-game currency, the experience was enjoyable and highlighted the game's potential for exploration, including new activities like fishing.

Microsoft Starts Offering Free PC Versions of Your Ubisoft Games on Xbox

Microsoft and Ubisoft have launched a "console-to-PC" promotion that allows digital owners of select Ubisoft titles on Xbox to transition their gaming experience to PC. Eligible games include Assassin's Creed Mirage, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Far Cry 6, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Riders Republic, Skull and Bones, The Crew 2, The Crew Motorfest, Rainbow Six Extraction, Rainbow Six Siege, and Watch Dogs Legion. Players need to link their Ubisoft and Xbox accounts to access the promotion, and new purchases on Xbox will be available on PC via Ubisoft Connect. Downloadable content (DLC) is included, but purchased consumables are restricted to the original platform. Only selected games that support cross-progression allow save file transfers. The promotion does not include the latest Assassin's Creed entries, Shadows and Black Flag Resynced, and it operates in one direction, meaning purchases on Ubisoft Connect do not unlock games in the Xbox store.

Xbox Owners Get Free PC Copies Of Select Ubisoft Games

Ubisoft is offering Xbox players free PC versions of thirteen select games they own digitally on their consoles, accessible through the Ubisoft Connect app on PC. Most editions and downloadable content (DLC) purchased on console will transfer to PC, but in-game currency and one-time-use content may not be included. Customers purchasing digital versions of these titles will receive both Xbox console and PC versions immediately, while existing owners will have the PC versions rolled out progressively until August 4. The initiative is part of a collaboration between Xbox and Ubisoft to expand the publisher's catalog across platforms. The offer does not apply in reverse; owning the PC version does not grant access to the console version.

Xbox players can soon access 13 Ubisoft PC games without buying them again

Microsoft and Ubisoft are enhancing their collaboration with a console-to-PC entitlement program, allowing players who own eligible Ubisoft games on Xbox to access the corresponding PC versions through Ubisoft Connect at no extra cost. This feature will be gradually rolled out, with access expected by August 4. The initial wave includes 13 games such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Far Cry 6. Ubisoft has also expanded its catalog in the Xbox PC app, offering more premium editions and downloadable content. However, the program only works one way; PC owners will not receive Xbox versions of games, and consumable items typically do not transfer unless the game supports cross-progression. Players need to update their Ubisoft Connect client to ensure the entitlement is detected.
