GTA Online soars into the danger zone with San Andreas Flight School

By Adam Rosenberg Published April 24, 2023

San Andreas Flight School, the latest free update for GTA Online, takes to the skies with a pile-on of new content designed to make the skies above Los Santos and Blaine County just a little bit less friendly. In addition to an assortment of new vehicles — two jets (including a 16-seater), two helicopters, and a new sports car (just because) — the add-on also includes a fresh batch of 10 aerial challenge missions, flight suits for male and female characters, customizable parachutes, and a new reserve chute option.

GTA Online continues to grow as Rockstar quietly works on getting the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions of the game ready for its previously announced fall 2014 launch. The spruced up port was announced at E3 2014, but we’ve heard nothing more concrete than the vague “fall” window for its arrival. We’re also still waiting for an update on when the promised co-op Heists mode will be released for GTA Online.

You can nab the update by firing up GTA Online and downloading it directly from the in-game store. You get a peek at what’s new in the screenshots up top, and you can get a better sense of how San Andreas Flight School works in the new trailer, below.

Valve’s Steam Machine price may scare off console buyers

Things are looking rough for Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine

Steam Machine Angled Shot

Valve has made the Steam Deck much more expensive, and that is a worrying signal for anyone waiting on the upcoming Steam Machine.

The 512GB Steam Deck OLED now costs $789, rising from its previous $549 price, while the 1TB OLED model has moved from $649 to $949. Valve has linked the increase to higher memory and storage costs, which are being driven by the ongoing AI boom. Now, a well-known Valve leaker has shared a disappointing update for gamers waiting for the Steam Machine.

Valve has officially raised the prices of the Steam Deck OLED in the US and several other global markets, and the increases are substantial. The move makes the company the latest major gaming platform holder to hike hardware pricing amid rising component costs and ongoing global economic pressures.

The biggest shock comes from the higher-end models. The 1TB Steam Deck OLED now costs $950 in the US, up from its original $650 launch price. Meanwhile, the 512GB OLED version has jumped from $550 to $790.
