Rockstar has confirmed that GTA Online will be receiving two major updates this year! The first being the summer update.
It’s going to be an exciting time indeed, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us, but what do we know so far?
Keep reading to find out.
GTA Online Summer Update Release Date
After Red Dead Online’s summer update arrived in place of the weekly update, we thought that GTA’s summer update might arrive as soon as Thursday, 30 July 2020.
However, Rockstar has released the weekly update for 30 July, and there’s still no sign of a summer update.

Nevertheless, the latest update gives away more about a summer update release date than you might think.
Twitter user, TezFunz2, has spotted that the current update runs until Tuesday, 11 August.
This is unusual for a GTA Online weekly update, so would suggest that this is when the summer update may be dropping!
Content
Rockstar has not yet provided details surrounding what content we can expect, however, the mention of a ‘fun mix of diverse new content’, certainly sounds exciting.
We’re hoping that this means we’ll be seeing an even broader variety of content than ever before!
Biggest GTA Online Update EVER
Rockstar also mentioned that later this year we can expect the biggest GTA Online update ever!
This update will feature the ‘latest take on Heists in an entirely new location.’

Naturally, this is creating various theories and predictions surrounding where the new location will be.
Speculations range from revisiting old maps in the series, such as Vice City, or San Andreas, or even places within GTA 5 itself like North Yankton.
With the mention of heists we can understandably assume that new heists are likely to feature in the update. Could these be tied in with the new location? With no more clues from Rockstar, we can only speculate for now.

How can they make GTA Online even better?
As with many online games, there are some players who choose to use various exploits to gain an unfair advantage. Thankfully, Rockstar appears to be continuing their action against this in the world of GTA Online.
In the Summer Update announcement post, Rockstar stated – “We are also committed to ensuring that our games are fun for everyone and as safe as possible from modders, cheaters, hackers and those who seek to harass other players. So far this year, we have taken action on hundreds of thousands of players caught violating community rules across both games.”
This could mean we may see new tools coming in the Summer Update to fight these issues, or possibly a new wave of bans.
