'Grand Theft Auto Online' Update Adds Heist Challenge Final Week, Double Rewards, Black Friday Discounts, and More

by Rainier on Nov. 29, 2024 @ 1:42 p.m. PST

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.

The Heist Challenge Enters Its Final Week

It’s the last week of The Heist Challenge, and what better way to hit that daunting GTA$20 TRILLION goal than going for broke at The Diamond Casino & Resort. Hatch an elaborate scheme to relocate the contents of The Diamond Casino’s subterranean vault — it’s guaranteed to contain diamonds during The Diamond Casino Heist through December 4.

Plus, completing The Diamond Casino Heist once this week will accomplish the Weekly Challenge and get you The Diamond Strike Vest in addition to a GTA$100,000 prize. Those yet to case The Diamond Casino & Resort can get started by speaking to Lester Crest in Mirror Park. From there, you and your accomplices will need a base of operations and a safe haven to evade detection. Luckily, Arcades and their Upgrades and Modifications are 30% off through December 4.

The Heist Challenge Final Stretch

This week marks the finale of The Heist Challenge and the stakes have never been higher as the community is currently at GTA$12 TRILLION — 60% of the GTA$20 TRILLION target and running short on time.

If the community surpasses the combined take of GTA$20 TRILLION before December 4, we’ll award participants the Pacific Standard Varsity Jacket next week, and they’ll get the NOOSE Outfit in the upcoming December GTA Online update. All players will also receive the brand-new Predator Police Boat as a reward in the December update for completing The Heist Challenge.

Track the progress on the GTA Online site as we enter the home stretch. Complete any of the Heist Finales listed below to do your part.

The Fleeca Job | Prison Break | The Humane Labs Raid | Series A Funding | Pacific Standard | Doomsday Scenario (Act III) | The Diamond Casino Heist | The Cayo Perico Heist
