'Grand Theft Auto Online' Update Adds Summer Heist Event: Original Heist Bonuses, Panther Statue Returns, and More

by Rainier on July 30, 2026 @ 9:47 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.

The Summer Heist Event begins today, bringing double GTA$ payouts on the first completion of two of GTA Online's original Heists alongside a guaranteed chance at one of the game’s most elusive Primary Targets – The Cayo Perico Heist's Panther Statue.

Plus, two new weekly sets of Primary Target Paintings will enter the Kortz Center Heist’s rotating lineup of hand-crafted masterworks, offering even more high-value art to steal for sale or display.

Lastly, players will receive a number of gifts for playing in the next two weeks, including a free GTA$1,000,000 and several seasonally themed accessories.
