GTA V Online: Biker DLC - 10 Things You Need To Know

We always knew The Lost & Damned was GTA's best DLC.

That's right folks, we've got yet another GTA update to talk about today, and boy, is it a big one.

Bikes are to GTA what space battles are to Battlefront; they're great, everyone loves them, and they take an absolute p*ss take to actually make it into the game itself. To the vast majority of players however, the limitless protestations, complaints and fanfare regarding bikes that were mounted by GTA's most vociferous fans seemed to amount to little more than the white noise that so commonly accompanies franchises of this stature. Rockstar were clearly listening however, as they only went and announced that the title's latest update would in fact feature motorcycles, leather pants, and bad facial hair. Yippee.

But how will this all factor into the wanton carnage so synonymous with Los Santos' online counterpart? Of course, the usual additions of clothing items, weapons and cosmetic changes are all a given (and were even teased in the accompanying images of Rockstar's announcement), but perhaps the most intriguing question to broach is this: just how much life does GTA V have left to give?

By all means, Take-Two's monstrous moneymaking monolith has had its moments over the years - from Heists, to CEOs and more - but things are starting to get a little stale. We've had three, lovely (if not mildly disappointing) years with it now, and it's about time it went out with a bang. Biker style.

10. Motorcycle Clubs Will Allow Up To Eight Members

For those of you who were left a little miffed that you could only take along just three of your amigos into the world of Finance and Felony, fret not, because this time, Rockstar have your back well and truly covered.

If biker fashion happens to be your aesthetic (hey, I won't judge) then you'll be able to join up to eight of your buddies in a club of your choosing. That means eight times the fun, eight times the carnage, and eight times the arguing over just how much of a cut your underlings are entitled to as you ride along the Pacific Highway. Oh, and eight times the manpower if things get a little lairy as drugs are dealt and people are shot, so that's neat too I guess.

Speaking of payment, I'm curious to see just how Rockstar tweak it this time around. It's fair to say that executive employees were given the short stick when it came to raking in the moolah in Finance and Felony, and while it's obvious executives have massive upfront costs to deal with (and so should receive the vast bulk of their earnings), Rockstar really need to provide greater incentive for the non-management inclined to wet their appetite with some biker-themed activities.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
