GTA Online

Rockstar Games announced that GTA Online will be receiving a huge update on Dec. 15 with a new heist on a brand new island.

The Cayo Perico Heist offers players to infiltrate an entirely new island to steal as much art, gold, and drug money from the “world’s most notorious drug dealer.”

The Cayo Perico is a remote island compound with heavily armed security forces, and is the first new landmass since GTA online originally launched for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2013.

A team of up to four players can take on the heist or can be done completely solo. Past heists have required at least two players to start a heist, but Rockstar said the new heist will feature “a brand-new approach to Heist design” so it is unknown what the difference will be between team and solo if any.

The update will also add new social spaces, an armed submarine headquarters shown in the trailer below, more radio stations, and 100 new songs. The studio had added one new radio station featuring rapper Danny Brown and 27 new songs last year.

GTA Online, the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V, is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and through backwards compatibility for the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
