'Grand Theft Auto Online' Update Brings Back The Heist Challenge, Adds More Prizes and Rewards for the Community

by Rainier on Nov. 7, 2024 @ 9:35 a.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.

Score Bonuses on Heists Each Week and Collectively Take Down GTA$20 Trillion to Earn Special Rewards

Embrace stealth, teamwork, and that insatiable hunger for the almighty dollar as you pilfer your way through El Rubio’s exotic Cayo Perico compound, break into The Diamond Casino & Resort's highly secure vault, save San Andreas from total annihilation, and pull off a string of intense robberies at some of Los Santos' most closely guarded institutions during The Heist Challenge.

Successfully smash this target by December 4 and we’ll unlock a vault full of rewards worthy of taking down this audacious objective, including the Pacific Standard Varsity Jacket and a pair of brand-new surprises in December’s new GTA Online update, including a new vehicle.
