The GTA Online update will enable you to track your criminal progress through the ranks on PS5

There’s so much to do in GTA Online these days that it can be impossible for new players to wrap their heads around – unless they’re our GTA Online Guide, of course. Fortunately, a new update coming next week will streamline your criminal career, allowing you to see your progress at a glance from the pause screen. It will, curiously, only be available on the PS5 version – if you’re still playing on PS4, you’re out of luck.

Rockstar has been making efforts of late to listen to its community and streamline its online experience. This includes the recent announcement of a new sprint control option, which will remove the need to mash the X button to sprint. Other improvements include the merger of SecuroServ and Motorcycle Clubs, so you only need to “register as a boss” from now on. And you’ll be able to give your garages custom names, so you can remember which cars you’ve stored in them.

All of this is coming with the new Top Gun-inspired San Andreas Mercenaries expansion starting June 13, and we’re definitely looking forward to getting stuck into it. Are you interested in returning to Los Santos, or are you just waiting patiently for GTA? 6 at this point?
