Grand Theft Auto V may have first debuted in 2013 but a new update will allow players to own and operate their own virtual nightclub. Starting in July, the new gameplay feature will give players the ability to establish nightclubs in the game and build them from the ground-up. This includes staffing them with employees, promoting the club and managing the revenue garnered from club goers.
The virtual nightclub created by players will be judged based on the number of NPCs attending it, with funds being automatically deposited into a wall safe. This money can be used to hire artists to perform at the virtual nightclub and will include real recording artists including The Black Madonna, Solumun, Dixon and Tale of Us.
