From high-stakes heists with Pavel to cruising the streets in new vehicles, GTA Online's winter update is shaping up to be a can't miss.
It looks like Christmas is coming early to Los Santos this year as Rockstar Games has already confirmed what's in store for Grand Theft Auto Online a month ahead of the Yuletide month. There's a whole lot of new content coming in the holiday season, and not only of the festive kind.
In the same announcement where they confirmed Grand Theft Auto 5: Expanded and Enhanced is finally headed to PC early next year (or in the "new year" if you go with the exact words they said), Rockstar revealed its plans for GTA Online before the year ends and they're huge.
Fresh off a record-breaking month that saw millions of players enjoy the limited edition zombies mode and a return trip to North Yankton, Rockstar is preparing to release an action-packed update that promises to deliver thrilling new content.
A big part of the upcoming GTA Online update revolves around the iconic Darnell Bros Garment Factory, a location familiar to fans of GTA V's story mode.
In a surprising twist, players will have the opportunity to purchase the Darnell Bros Garment Factory through the Foreclosures website. This acquisition isn't just for show – it serves as the foundation for a series of high-stakes robbery missions.
The update brings back a fan-favorite character, Pavel, who will play a crucial role in these new heists. Known for his wit and elaborate schemes, Pavel's involvement hints at the scale and complexity of the upcoming robbery missions, suggesting that players will need to bring their A-game to succeed.
Accessibility is a key focus of this update, with Rockstar introducing multiple ways to launch these new robbery missions. Players can initiate heists either through their in-game iFruit phone or via a computer terminal within the Garment Factory. Additionally, the December update is set to introduce a fleet of new vehicles to the streets of Los Santos.
For those who enjoy creating custom content, the update brings welcome news in the form of Job Creator updates. This will empower players to craft even more diverse and engaging missions, further expanding the already vast array of user-generated content available in GTA Online.
The popular Dispatch Work missions are also getting a boost with this update. New scenarios and challenges are coming to the existing roster, providing players with fresh objectives and keeping the gameplay experience varied and exciting. These missions have been a hit since their introduction, and we can expect players to flock to the new ones all the same.
As with any major GTA Online update, players can expect a host of smaller tweaks, improvements, and surprises that Rockstar has yet to reveal. The developer has a history of including unexpected features and Easter eggs in their updates, so the more keen-eyed players may want to keep on the lookout for hidden gems once the content goes live.
Speaking of keeping an eye out, we're only days away from the next Take-Two Interactive earnings call. Ahead of this, a former Rockstar developer just delivered exciting news about Grand Theft Auto 6.
