Last week, Rockstar Games surprised everyone by announcing that a new update for GTA Online is coming in December. They shared a lot of details and some screenshots. They also said that the "Expanded and Enhanced" features for the next-gen consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, will be available on PC in 2025.
Rockstar's latest community update was released just days before Take-Two Interactive’s earnings report for investors. Many fans thought a second trailer for GTA 6 might be coming soon because of the developer's past patterns and the timing of the report. However, there’s no news about GTA 6—only some big updates for GTA Online.

GTA Online Community Update
Now, let’s see what Rockstar said in their Newswire post about GTA Online and the upcoming update. They started by thanking players for being such a loyal community over another great year. Then, they summarized all the key content and updates they provided in 2024.
Kicking things off with a hint that “there’s still much more to come,” Rockstar announced that the next GTA Online DLC will arrive in December. This is typical, as they’ve released content updates during the holiday month for the past few years. The screenshots in this article are also from the December update.
New Business
In the update, the Darnell Bros Garment Factory will become a front for your new business. An ex-FIB officer and Pavel will help you turn it into a hub for secret missions, where you can carry out exciting and strategic new robberies. Rockstar says you can access these missions either through a computer inside the factory or with a new app on your in-game device.
New Content
The December update will include new vehicles and upgrades for your Benefactor Terrorbyte, like a Collectible Scanner that helps you find nearby treasures. There will also be updates to the Job Creator and more Dispatch Work missions.
Community Challenges will keep going, with the next one happening this month, according to Rockstar. While no specific date has been announced yet, we’ll share it on our site once it’s confirmed. If the GTA Online community succeeds as they usually do, rewards will be handed out during the December update.
Gameplay Enhancements
GTA Online will not only get new content but also general improvements. Rockstar mentioned that there will be “many more updates and enhancements on the way.” One example is that Armor stock will automatically refill when you start missions. Additionally, GTA+ members will see more updates for The Vinewood Club, including access to Hao’s Special Works, Benny’s Original Motorworks, and Drift upgrades in The Vinewood Car Club Garage’s Vehicle Workshop.
PC Improvement
Rockstar ended their Newswire post by hinting that there’s always more to come for GTA Online before GTA 6 is released. In addition to the usual event weeks, holiday celebrations, and gifts, they promised some surprises as well.
GTA V PC version will finally get the current-gen features that are only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. To recap, these new console versions include Hao’s Special Works Auto Shop, GTA+, special vehicles, ray tracing, a career builder, and more. This update is expected to arrive in early 2025. Rockstar mentioned that more details will be shared on their Newswire.
