'Grand Theft Auto Online' Details Major December Update, New Community Challenges, and More

by Rainier on Nov. 1, 2024 @ 9:39 a.m. PDT

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

First Details on the December Update, New Community Challenges, and More

With Halloween hijinks ongoing in GTA Online, including the first ever trip to chilly North Yankton for the popular new Ludendorff Cemetery Survival, we want to thank our devoted community for another amazing year and look ahead at what’s still to come.

This past year has been filled with action-packed updates: facing off against corrupt LSPD cops and a nefarious drug cartel in The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid, inheriting Maude’s mantle as the state’s top bail enforcement officer in Bottom Dollar Bounties, and battling it out across in the multi-stage military mayhem of Assault on ATT-16.

Alongside new additions to the off-the-books roster of Law Enforcement Vehicles that debuted with The Chop Shop, vigilante Dispatch Work arrived for those looking to clean up the streets of Los Santos along with daily Madrazo Hits for bounty hunters willing to do Martin’s dirty work.

There’s also now a Pizza Delivery gig to deliver piping hot pizzas to hungry residents, and LS Tags spray cans to tag select corporate posters for GTA$, RP, and street cred. Plus, the LS Car Meet’s drift racing scene has new Drift Tuning eligible vehicles, including the Benefactor Vorschlaghammer (Sedan).

And there’s still much more to come…

Exciting New Update Coming in December

The notorious Darnell Bros Garment Factory front is under new management. With the aid of helmsman Pavel and a former FIB officer turned independent contractor, you’ll convert it into a hive for clandestine infiltration operations where you can launch a bevy of thrilling and strategic new robberies. These will be accessible from the computer terminal inside the Garment Factory or remotely via a brand-new app on your iFruit.

December’s update also features additional Dispatch Work missions, new rides, Job Creator updates, and new upgrades for your Benefactor Terrorbyte, including a Collectible Scanner to help pinpoint a wide range of treasures whenever they are in close proximity — including Action Figures, Movie Props, G’s Cache drops, and many more.

Community Challenges

The GTA community continues to amaze us with their ability to take on any challenge put in front of them, whether it’s slinging millions of pizzas around the Greater Los Santos Area, guzzling mass quantities of sugary-caffeinated bliss, or surpassing our expectations by vanquishing nearly a billion undead in one week during the recent North Yankton Nightmare Community Challenge.

We can’t wait to see what the community gets up to with our next challenge in November, that if successfully completed, will unlock special rewards in December’s update.

Experience Improvements

As part of our continued commitment to fair play, respect, and player safety, we recently implemented an additional anti-cheat system to enhance the security of lobbies and players on PC. We encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with our Community Guidelines published earlier this year, and to continue doing their part to ensure that GTA Online remains an enjoyable and fun environment for everyone.

There are many more updates and enhancements on the way, such as Body Armor stock automatically refilling when launching missions, as well as new updates to The Vinewood Club for GTA+ Members, including the ability to access Hao’s Special Works, Benny’s Original Motorworks, and Drift upgrades inside The Vinewood Car Club Garage’s Vehicle Workshop.

There is much more still to come, including ongoing weekly special events and bonuses, festive celebrations, gifts, surprises, as well as plans to bring the much-requested PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S features of GTA Online to the PC platform in the new year.

Grand Theft Auto V is currently available for PS4, PS5 , Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
