What to Expect
This update brings luxury mansions to GTA Online with full exterior and interior spaces. You’ll choose from three locations, including East Vinewood Hills (overlooking the casino) and West Vinewood (near Miguel Madrazo’s place).
Each mansion comes with an AI assistant that boosts your business production, plus trophy cabinets, a private salon, animal kennels, and an elegant garage. Optional upgrades include a car podium, armory, vehicle workshop, and private security.
Michael De Santa is back from GTA 5’s story, with Ned Luke returning as his voice. You’ll team up with him in new missions focused on real estate. The update also adds the new Mission Creator, which lets you build and share your own missions using custom objectives, NPCs, and gameplay features.
New vehicles include the Vapid FMJ MK V supercar (early access for GTA+ members), more Hao’s Special Works compatible cars, law enforcement vehicles, and drift variants. Several aircraft will now support missile lock-on jammers to help you avoid griefers. Plus, there are new Freemode events and story missions that anyone can play without owning a mansion.
