Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to search for races on GTA Online , I think it may interest you to know more about this possibility.

Well, you should know that the online mode of GTA 5 allows you to play different types of races : those made directly by Rockstar and those created by fans . The former, in general, represent fun and quality activities, while for the latter you have to go a little bit by luck.

Despite this, as indeed happens for any self-respecting video game, among the many competitions made by the community there are also some “pearls”. In addition, fans can also keep a title “alive” for a long time following its publication, just think of the huge world of mods that revolves around video games like Minecraft and Fallout 4 , just to name two.

GTA Online, however, in some ways distances itself from the world of mods, given that it is a title in which you constantly play in contact with other players and therefore the use of content created by the community could potentially create some “headaches. “. As I explained to you in my guide dedicated to how to drift in GTA , if you really want to make use of mods, you should only consider the Story mode.

Despite this, Rockstar has been very skilled over the years at adding official content and implementing community- made content properly . On the other hand, GTA 5 was released back in 2013, but GTA Online is still on the “crest of the wave”. The reason is certainly to be found also in the large amount of content available.

GTA Online is therefore a virtuous example for the gaming industry, which demonstrates how it is possible to create a quality online video game capable of “accompanying” players for many years, keeping up with the times and without letting “go” too much in terms. of content created by the community.

About amount of content, the races that you can perform on GTA Online are the most diverse, ranging from racing on two wheels to water race , passing through those land , those stunt and so on and so forth. In short, the variety in terms of gameplay is guaranteed.

In any case, I remind you that to access the online mode of GTA 5 it is necessary to have an internet connection and, in the case of consoles, an active subscription to play online . In fact, on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 it is necessary to have the PlayStation Plus , while on the Xbox platform it is necessary to have an Xbox Live Gold subscription .

How to search for races in GTA Online

After explaining the general situation, I would say that it is time to actually explain how to find the races of your interest in GTA Online. In case you were wondering, the directions in this chapter apply to all platforms for which the Rockstar title is released. Put simply, if you’re going to learn, for example, how to search for races in GTA 5 Online for PS4 , this is the part of the guide for you.

To find and take a look at the available races made directly by Rockstar , once you enter GTA Online , just go to the settings , go to the ONLINE tab and follow the path Activities> Start activity> Created by Rockstar , then choosing between the Races option and the Stunt Races option .

By doing so, the list of available activities will appear on the screen . From here you can scroll through the various official races made by Rockstar, as well as get a variety of information about each of them (you will also find a rating on the quality of the race, provided by fans). In any case, if you are interested in this type of activity, I suggest you consult my guide on the best races of GTA Online , in which I have gone down further in detail.

You have surely noticed that there is no “classic” search functionality in the game : it is not possible to type the name of a race to find it quickly. Unfortunately this is a lack of GTA Online. However, since in reality there are not too many official activities created by Rockstar, following the tutorial I proposed above and the various indications you should not have problems finding what is right for you.

The discourse becomes a little more complex as regards the activities created by enthusiasts . In fact, as you can guess, in this case the number of available races is disproportionate and therefore it may not be exactly easy, if not almost impossible, to find a certain in-game activity.

This is where the Rockstar Social Club comes into play . In fact, just connect via browser to the official portal and possibly enter your date of birth in order to access the “much sought after” search bar , which peeks out at the top.

By pressing on the icon of the three lines present at the top right you can select the filters to be used for the search, choosing between type of activity , platform , number of players , type of content (if created by Rockstar or not) and date of publication . You can also choose to sort the activities by popularity , number of games and date .

In any case, once you have found the race that’s right for you, just click on the activity box , take a look at the rating and comments left by other users and click on the Add activity button to your favorites . You will be prompted to login to your Social Club account : just press the Login button , type your e-mail address and password and press the Login button . I remind you that you can also log in with PSN , Xbox Live , Facebook , Google accountsand Twitter .

Then, press the Add activity to favorites button again and press the Ok button . In case you already have GTA Online running, you will need to restart the game for the race you have chosen to be available.

In any case, once you are in GTA Online , you just need to open the settings , go to the ONLINE tab , follow the path Activities> Start activity and select the Favorite option (then choosing between Races and Stunt Races ). Here you will find all the races you have added via the official Social Club portal and can start them quickly.

In short, although there is no real search option of the races integrated within the Rockstar title, it is still possible to find all the activities of the case simply by passing through the browser . Among other things, in case you usually play from console and do not want to use another device, I remind you that both PlayStation and Xbox have a built-in browser .

For example, if your gaming platform is PlayStation 4, I recommend that you consult my tutorial on how to go on the Internet with PS4 , in which I have explained a little bit everything there is to know about the ability to browse the Web via Sony’s popular console.

For the rest, you will surely have noticed the fact that on the Rockstar portal a subdivision by platform is carried out with regard to the various races available. So be careful to choose an activity compatible with the platform you usually play from, so as not to have too many problems.

In short, the use of filters is important , but the developers have thought of everything and therefore you should not have particular problems in finding what is right for you.

How to create races in GTA Online

You can find the editor by opening the game settings, going to the ONLINE tab and pressing first on the Creator option and then on the Ok one . In any case, this tool allows you to “give life” to various activities. To reach your goal, simply click on Create a race and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
