GTA Online suddenly receives an update

While the whole world holds its breath waiting for the release of the sixth Grand Theft Auto, scheduled for November 19, 2026, Rockstar has unexpectedly presented a major patch for the multiplayer of the fifth installment. Although the online component of the action game is already more than ten years old, the developers still ensure that fans don't get bored. This time, gamers are in for a meeting with a character familiar from the story campaign, as well as the purchase of a luxurious mansion and even participation in uncovering a conspiracy. The update, titled «A Safehouse in the Hills», will be available to all users on December 10.

In the main story of Grand Theft Auto, Michael de Santa experienced a personal drama worthy of a TV series like «The Sopranos». On the one hand, he tried to build a family life, and on the other, he couldn't break away from his criminal past. In «A Safehouse in the Hills», we will meet this character again and receive several assignments from him. Gamers will be pleased to learn that Ned Luke, who can also be seen in TV shows «Boardwalk Empire» and «Law & Order», has returned to the role of Michael after 15 years. The plot of the expansion revolves around the development of a new neural network capable of observing people: gamers will need to stop this project, while simultaneously acquiring elite property and tricked-out supercars.

The residence in the prestigious district of Los Santos is not only conveniently located, but also contains many useful modules — from an expanded garage and trophy displays to pet houses. The mansion is equipped with an advanced AI assistant that will help with organizing missions and household tasks, and in addition, the assistant increases profits from business if you have one. Along with the patch comes another batch of bonuses for subscribers, as well as a large set of cars and appearance customization options, available both within missions and outside of them.
