'GTA 5: Online' new multiplayer update now available for Xbox One and PC

Rockstar has released its first multiplayer update for the year for ‘GTA 5: Online’, and the update brings a new bike, bonuses and a new game mode. The new vehicle is the Pegassi FCR 1000, and is now available to buy in GTA Online and “treads the fine line between old-school, no-frills engineering and a tight-trousered hipster’s delight.
