GTA Online weekly update adds new car the Declasse Draugur
There’s another new car in the GTA Online weekly update for Grand Theft Auto V’s multiplayer game component, and it’s a solid hunk of metal. The Declasse Draugur is a sizeable four seater off-roader that appears to be GTA’s spin on the Chevrolet Off-Road Concept, matching its distinctive customised body kit with recessed doors. The August 11 weekly update for the open-world game also features a set of ten Cayo Perico races with boosted rewards among its other time-limited bonuses.
The Declasse Draugur (no, sadly it’s not a Skyrim tie-in) has been made available for purchase from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos store, as part of the slow rollout of new vehicles introduced in the recent GTA Online Criminal Enterprises update. It’ll set you back a hefty $1,870,000 in GTA Online bucks to purchase – although they will throw in a lovely Gray Yeti Flat Cap with your purchase as a thank-you.
The other main features of the week are Cayo Perico races and buried stashes. There are now 10 Cayo Perico races that players can take part in, and they’re offering double their standard in-game cash and reputation points rewards for the week to encourage as many players as possible to jump in. The Metal Detector random event will allow players to start collecting buried stashes – something that will be immediately familiar to players of Rockstar’s other online game, Red Dead Redemption II. The CEO Payphone Hit is also back in action, after taking some time off due to a bug.

Spotify Stops Making Dash-Mounted ‘Car Thing’ Just Five Months After Launch
The change was announced as part of Spotify’s latest earnings release for shareholders, which said that developing the Car Thing cost €31 million (approximately $32 million USD) and that its overall gross margin was “negatively impacted by our decision to stop manufacturing Car Thing.” Spotify told TechCrunch:
Based on several factors, including product demand and supply chain issues, we have decided to stop further production of Car Thing units. Existing devices will perform as intended. This initiative has unlocked helpful learnings, and we remain focused on the car as an important place for audio.
Announced in April last year, the short-lived device first went on sale in the United States in February for $89.99. It was designed to be an in-car dash-mounted music and podcast player to provide a more seamless and personalized listening experience, especially in the large number of cars that do not support modern in-car infotainment systems or Apple CarPlay.
Paired with an iOS or Android device for data and connection to the Spotify app, the Car Thing was aimed at Spotify Premium subscribers with these needs and offered a touchscreen, a knob for navigation, voice control features, and four user-configurable buttons for fast access to areas such as favorite music, podcasts, or playlists.
