Here are some of the best ways in which GTA Online players can start 2025

1) Sell the vehicles that you don't use anymore

Rockstar Games has added a multitude of vehicles in GTA Online over the years. If you've been playing for a long time, chances are that you may have a sprawling collection of them. It is also possible that a few of them might have been collecting dust of late.

If that is the case, you could sell them off and get a bit of extra cash in your Maze Bank account. Needless to say, this would help in buying something that seems more useful at the moment, or you could just save for any new content that might be added in the future.

2) Check out the FIB Files

The FIB Files debuted on December 10, 2024, with the Agents of Sabotage update and can be accessed by purchasing the Darnell Bros Garment Factory. They make up for the latest content in the game as of this writing, and while not extremely unique, they are very fun to play.

The payout is decent, and the Garment Factory business comes with useful benefits, such as a 10-vehicle storage space and access to multiple fast travel points across the city. Furthermore, there is a neat GTA Vice City Easter Egg in one of the FIB Files.

3) Start from scratch

This tip only concerns veterans, who, by now, likely have millions of dollars in their Maze Bank accounts, lots of businesses, and an endless collection of vehicles. Starting from scratch with a brand new character can be quite the experience in 2025.

A lot of new content may have also been added since your original beginning in GTA Online, so a new journey can take you down different paths and, in turn, be quite refreshing.

4) Beginners should grind the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid

The Cluckin Bell Farm Raid, added on March 7, 2024, is like a heist, as it features a few setup missions that lead up to a finale. While most other heists in GTA Online need an initial investment, this one doesn't have any prerequisites, which makes it perfect for beginners.

Therefore, if you've just started playing or are going to start playing in 2025, grinding the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid would be a good move. It will stock your in-game account very quickly ($500,000 payout) and open up other avenues in the process.

5) Change your usual playing style

Although GTA Online is multiplayer, there are many who like playing solo in Invite Only sessions. This has also been aided by the addition of solo-friendly content in recent years. However, those who have been playing this way for a while may find switching things up a bit refreshing in 2025.

They should try out activities with other players and participate in races or Adversary Modes in the new year. On the other hand, those who have been enjoying multiplayer elements until now may find attempting heists and missions alone an intriguing challenge.
