Over the entire existence of GTA Online, from October 1, 2013 to the present, 27 updates have been added, half of them are global. Most likely, most of you started playing GTA Online from the very beginning of the game's release on PS3 and XBOX 360, and, one might say, went through all these updates, but there are also those who started playing much later, for example, when NextGen was released GTA version 5 on PC. In this article we will tell you what updates have been released over the years and how much the releases have changed from 2013 to the present.
Beach Bun Update
It all started on November 19, 2013. GTA 5 was released on September 17, and Multiplayer GTA Online was launched on October 1, and the first Beach Bum update appeared a month and a half later.At the time, this update generated a lot of excitement, although it was minor compared to the updates that are coming out now. Here's what was added and fixed in this DLC:
The Valentine's Day Massacre Special
On February 4, 2014, another thematic update for Valentine's Day was released. This update was also small, but illuminating in its theme of the old years.
Fix the following bugs:
The number one task of all players at that time was to get that same Roosevelt, because after the end of the holiday the car ceased to be available for purchase, and a lot of cool clothes and quite revealing clothes appeared for female character. At that time, Rockstar added a lot of new missions, as they do now, but at the moment much more confrontation.
The Business Update
Exactly a month later, a major, by those standards, update called “The Business Update” was released in GTA Online; it was from this DLC that, one might say, the theme of business in the game was born, which continues to this day.
In this DLC, the following awaited players of that time:
3 new supercars Albany Alpha, Dinka Jester and Grotti Turismo R. New weapons Heavy Pistol and Special Carbine, as well as customization items - haircuts, tattoos, clothes. New Vestra business class aircraft
The High Life Uptade
The next level of updates came within two months, and on May 13, 2014, the DLC was released " Social life", which showcased the chic new lifestyle in GTA Online. In this update, players of that time expected a lot of new things. New real estate has appeared, as well as the opportunity to purchase several premises at once. As many as 4 new cars, a new bullpup rifle, 15 new missions and much more.
4 new vehicles have appeared in Legendary Motorsport: Zentorno (Supercar), Massacro (Sports Car), Thrust (Bike), Huntley S (Crossover).
The photo shows a gorgeous view from the new apartments and all of the above cars. There is no bike in the photo.
There is also a new bullpup rifle (similar to FAMAS) with regular dialing tuning - muffler, sight, and so on. A scale has appeared mental state player. This scale will help you get to know the player you are playing with. It may be passive or anesthetized.
New bullpup rifle
Five new apartments also appeared, and most importantly, the player was able to own from that moment not just one apartment, but two, which meant that it was possible to store not 10 vehicles, but as many as 20, due to the possibility of owning two garages. It’s hard to imagine that at that time two apartments was already cool, compare with our capabilities at the moment; now you can own almost a hundred cars due to the huge number of available apartments and garages, as well as offices that can reach up to three levels. It was also in this DLC that the first motorcycle was added, and of course, work is in full swing to improve the gameplay of GTA Online so that Multiplayer is ready for NextGen on PS4 and Xbox One, though at that time none of the players knew about it.
"I'm Not a Hipster" Uptade
The next summer update is "I'm not a hipster", which added a lot of new clothes, masks, hairstyles and paint jobs in the workshop. And of course, a new large portion of cars, compared to the previous DLC, where 3-4 pieces were added, as many as 16 pieces appeared in the “I'm not a hipster” update.
6 new cars that can be bought on southernsanandreassuperautos.com:
Dubsta 6x6
The Dubsta 6x6 jeep has been added - you can buy it in the store military equipment. Only for players above level 100.
The photo shows new clothes, as well as the Panto car
2 new weapons:
And much more.
The San Andreas Flight School Uptade
The next update had a flight theme. In August, a flight school was added to GTA Online, accessible from level six, and 10 lessons were added to the airport as part of a course that helped players improve their piloting skills and participate in interesting missions.
This was the first update that added interactive missions to GTA Online, and of course, the Flight School DLC added new planes and helicopters, as well as parachutes with 25 types of flags different countries, including Russia. By the way, it was the Flight School update that became the first DLC, announced by Rockstar in the form of a trailer, which they still release in the most important DLCs.
Last Team Standing Uptade
Then an insignificant Last Team update came out with the theme of weapons and chaos; in fact, there was nothing interesting in it. A couple of new cars, weapons and gunplay.
HeistsUptade | GTA 5 PC edition
But then it started completely new story for GTA Online. It was on November 18, 2014 that it was released on NextGen consoles and exactly 4 months later the same update was released that changed the idea of Multiplayer GTA Online. If earlier it was such a formality to add a couple of cars to the game and fix bugs, then this DLC made it clear that life after single player there again. We are, of course, talking about the Heists DLC in GTA Online.

This update allowed players to experience interesting co-op missions under the control of the character Lester from story game. New voice acting, new cut scenes and completely diverse missions. It was a breakthrough and it also gave a big impetus to the popularity of GTA Online. The Heist update was the largest in GTA Online, and now it can only be compared with one of the latest updates, Judgment Day, which players had to wait for several years. The robberies themselves, in addition to the story-based joint missions, were added huge amount cool transport, the opportunity to buy which opened only after completing a robbery with this transport, this idea is also used in the current updates. The robberies were cool. And it was with this update that a new story for GTA Online began, which continues to this day.
Then there were minor and rather monotonous updates - two parts “Dirty Money”, “Lowriders” and on June 7, 2016, the update “The Adventure of Bandits and Scammers” launched a new concept in GTA Online.
Offices, warehouses, a yacht appeared, and this very trade in boxes began, which is still ongoing. For example, the Bikers update. New enterprises appeared in it, new pursuits for boxes. DLC “Import - Export”, where new offices and warehouses for cars appeared. Next was the “Arms Trade” DLC, with all the same elements, but with pretty good story missions.
After that there was the Smugglers DLC, another import-export, but with the theme of airplanes and with Ron in the title role.
All of these listed updates are very similar to each other in one concept. Offices, warehouses, clubhouse, enterprises, hangars, bunkers and so on. We can say that with these updates Rockstar completely went to pieces, and they no longer thought about the balance in the game, because flying motorcycles, neon bikes, ramp cars, millions of supercars and so on appeared. Everything can be explained by the commercial success of GTA Online.
Summary of updates
It all started with simple cars, motorcycles, weapons, but at the moment we can say that in recent updates a lot of unbalanced and fantastic vehicles have been added, but this is not so bad, the game must somehow develop, and, you see, GTA Online would not be so interesting if nothing had changed after the first robberies, and new clothes and a couple of new cars simply appeared in the game.Here it is interesting story updates from the very beginning and the latest update, except for “After Hours”, of course, because we already wrote about it. The game is already 4.5 years old, and Rockstar is not even going to stop.

When can we expect a new major update for GTA Online? We believe that the announcement could take place as early as this week. Of course, these are just our assumptions, but the experience of previous updates has shown that there really is a pattern in the release of updates and they are not announced in a chaotic manner. This means that we can at least roughly predict the release date of the new DLC for GTA Online.
Or maybe there is no update at all?
There is definitely an update. This is evidenced by the beta branch "qabeta2" on the Steamdb.info website, which is always updated several weeks before the announcement of the update. The first change to the branch was on February 23, then we were absolutely sure that the update would see the light in early March. But then a second unexpected branch change occurred on March 2nd. Does this mean that the developers have decided to postpone the update to a later date? late date for the purpose of finalizing and polishing it? We don't know for sure. This outcome is possible, because Rockstar has seven Fridays a week. However, if this is indeed the case, the gap between the last car unlocked and the announcement of the new update will be at an all-time high.
A new update was usually announced a week after the last car added with the previous update was unlocked.
Rockstar always adds a lot of initially unavailable for purchase cars and various confrontations to the new Rockstar update. Then, for many months, once a week, they open access to blocked content and delight players with various discounts. The last car unlocked from the Doomsday Heist update was the Pfister Comet SR, on February 27. Tomorrow should be another “week in GTA Online”, in which Rocksar announce discounts and new cars with confrontations. But there are no more cars or confrontations left .
Rockstar has favorite days of the week to announce updates.
Based on the experience of previous updates, developers like to announce new updates in certain days weeks.
"The Arms Trade" was released on Wednesday. "Smugglers" and "The Doomsday Heist" are on Thursday. Thursday is the most likely day for the announcement of a new update. But then again, Rockstar has seven Fridays in a week and the update could come out completely unexpectedly on any other day.
What do insiders say?
This is the first time that all known insiders are sharing virtually no information regarding the upcoming update. As they themselves claim, their sources are silent and do not give out any news. But instead of trusted insiders, “pseudo-insiders” cast their votes, who use unreliable sources of information or invent it themselves.
For example, one of the GTAForums users predicted the announcement on March 6th, and the trailer on the 13th. He received a barrage of criticism because in the entire history of GTA Online there has never been such a practice of announcing updates. The update is announced with the release of a trailer, then, 5 days later, it becomes available in GTA Online.
What will the new update be like?
Again, no one has this information. Definitely, the update will be major. After such a sensational update as the Doomsday Heist, Rockstar will definitely not lower the temperature. We expect even more large-scale changes in the game, new futuristic vehicles and weapons, crazy missions, and, of course, huge expenses on new content. We will share details of the update as soon as it is announced by the developers. Stay tuned!
