The game runs much faster: far away people and cars rest, shadows only cover what you see. New Graphics option in the menu (Auto, High, Low)
Fixed memory leaks from explosions, the mod shop and the character preview, so long sessions stay smooth
Cops are fairer at 1 and 2 stars, and they can now bust you: lose the product you carry and pay a small fine
Dumpsters only work when no cop is close. Spray-N-Go now costs money and has a cooldown
Grenades and molotovs land where you aim
Your own gang no longer attacks you. Armored truck guards fight back
Street heat cools down while you play, your hired dealer gets paid properly, and better weed now pays more
Fixed: cloning cars at the chop shop and garage, endless haggling, dying in a dumpster, wrecks that never got towed and traffic thinning out
Your progress now saves to the server every few seconds while you play
Cheat protection: the server now keeps its own record of your cash, and PvP hits are checked
Gangs drop their guns
Gang members carry real weapons you can see: pistols, SMGs, shotguns, rifles and bats, in their gang colours
Take one down and it drops the weapon it carried, with ammo. Walk or drive over it to grab it
Corner crews pull their guns when they turn on you and put them away when they calm down
Cops now hold their guns too
Dropped guns are easier to spot on the street

Every car was rebuilt with a real shape: hood, cabin and trunk, wheel arches, bumpers, grilles, mirrors, door lines and plates
Proper wheels with spoked rims, and real headlights and taillights that light up the road at night

A cinematic colour grade: deeper shadows, harder light, long shadows from a low sun, film grain and vignette
Moodier nights with sodium orange streetlights against blue shadows
Real world car colours (black, gunmetal, silver, maroon, rusty beaters). Bright paint is for rare supercars and your mods
Dry, patchy parks and cracked lots instead of bright green squares
New look for the whole interface: heavy condensed type, hard edges, line icons instead of emoji, a punchier money counter
The premium currency is now called GTX
Every update is now on its own page too, linked from the start screen
The rough side of town
REDBRICK and the docks got rough: graffiti everywhere, burnt out cars, trash, potholes, dead streetlights and burning barrels

Live 3D preview before you pay. Other players see your mods on the street
Underglow lights up at night
Street life, invites and linked accounts
The streets talk: people shout, argue, shove and brawl, and scream and run at gunfire
Gang crews hold their corners in gang colours. Walk through rival turf and they will warn you, then fight
Invite friends with your own link (menu, Accounts & invites). You both get cash and GTX once they really play
Link your X account (coming as soon as the X app is live) and your fomo username
Linked X handles show under player names
