Rockstar has recently teased a 'big' summer update for its Grand Theft Auto series, surprising fans with the unexpected announcement. Amidst the ongoing speculation surrounding GTA 6, including release dates, development delays, and alleged gameplay leaks, Rockstar has shifted focus to enhancing the immensely popular GTA Online experience with the teased summer update.
The original GTA 5 was launched in 2013 for PS3 and Xbox 360, with GTA Online introduced as a post-launch update just two weeks later. Subsequent releases followed in 2014 for PS4 and Xbox One, in 2015 for PC, and most recently in 2022 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Despite the anticipation building for GTA 6, scheduled for a 2025 release, Rockstar continues to prioritize updates for GTA Online.
With the re-release of GTA 5 for current-gen consoles, the introduction of GTA+ accompanied it, offering players exclusive benefits through a premium membership subscription. As part of a promotional campaign for GTA+, Rockstar has hinted at a significant summer update for GTA Online.
While specific details regarding the update remain undisclosed, GTA+ members can already access 'The Vinewood Club', an exclusive in-game club. Further enhancements for 'The Vinewood Club' are expected later this year, including the addition of a vehicle workshop at 'The Vinewood Club Garage' and a new in-game phone app for members to access special advantages more conveniently.
The most recent update to GTA Online, the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid story content, was released at the beginning of March. Fans eagerly await further announcements and details about the upcoming summer update, as Rockstar continues to engage and excite the GTA community with new content and features.
