The wait for GTA 6 rumbles on and on, but Rockstar will keep you occupied with yet another major GTA Online update. This is a big’un, bringing another new business to the shadowy backdrop of Los Santos. You’ll be teaming up once more with Maude Eccles, as she looks for a new recruit to take command of her Bottom Dollar Bail Enforcement bounty hunting corporation.
According to the press materials, you’ll be working with Ms Eccles’ daughter Jenette, as you look to run down “all manner of reprobate scum”. The official announcement adds: “As you clean up the streets of Southern San Andreas, utilize a range of new Law Enforcement Vehicles in off-the-books Dispatch Work for LSPD Officer Vincent Effenburger.”
As with any GTA Online update, you can also look forward to a bunch of new vehicles, some major quality of life updates, and much more. You can get a taste of what to expect courtesy of the trailer embedded above. Remember, most content in Rockstar’s online sandbox can now be played solo, and we’d expect this latest update to be much the same.

GTA VI will come out in 2025, December 31, 11:59:59:99 o’clock, at GMT+23.
Let’s hope they add some voice acting for online players instead of all being mutes in GTAV 😁
@Mikey856 😂😂😂 what? It’s your voice? That’s why your mouth moves when you speak in game chat. Problem is many play in party chat.
I'm hoping that they rerelease GTAIV before then, even if it's a bare bones effort like Red Dead.
@Mikey856 Probably not. Voice acting would create narrative and could create disliked response styles etc. It is easier to keep protagonist quiet to not brake immersion.
I have played and completed every GTA game, I have never played online.
I understand as a business why Rockstar canned the GTAV expansions, but that doesn't make it easier to swallow.
@REALAIS well I’d prefer it. They could of easily added voice acting when the player was talking with lester setting up heists or whatever
@Mikey856 I agree. I'd take a voiced protagonist with limited dialogue options and choices than a mute with a bounty of them. Fallout 4's soul survivor over Fallout New Vegas' courier, for example.
@AdamNovice Rockstar/Take Two have show their colors in regards to re-releases: bare minimum effort and a ridiculous price tag because people will buy it regardless.
If it doesn't serve their bottom line, they could not care less.
GTA 5 still looks so nice, the world is just so beautiful.
@ApostateMage yeah it doesn’t need narrative changing dialogue just a few words now and again instead of the head nodding 😂. The heists themselves were the narratives anyway for example
I'm actually concerned VI is going to be the last single-player GTA that we see, and they're going to devote full time resources to GTA Online after that. It's where the money is sadly.
@aj21009 , The online play is the expansion of GTAV. The new playable character is us the players, the story is our story. No it is not like the expansions and dlc of GTAIV and other single player games, but the depth of the online play easily replaces traditional expansions/dlc.
Also the online has always had solo and invite only lobbies, except for some features, however there were tricks to play solo in an open public lobby and now all can be played solo or private.
@NoCode23 "No it is not like the expansions and dlc of GTAIV and other single player games"
Exactly, I'm not interested in creating my own story, I don't want to have to do tricks, like you mentioned to play solo, just the point of having to use a trick means it is not meant to be a single player story mission.
my time of ever playing gta again is at least a year away too then
@Mikey856 guessing that you don't know that online does have mouth animations for when you use your mic. You just have to be in game chat for it to work.
@aj21009 they didn't say "expansion and dlc of GTA IV" they said the expansion of GTA V. As in the continuation of your own character's story in San Andres. And in GTAO you get to occasionally interact with the main characters from story mode. Though Michael doesn't show up, because it's after the events from the story, and the cannon is that Michael is dead. (it's also why the forever "under construction" casino, is finished and interactive in Online). There's also missions for you to get into business with both Trevor and Franklin. If you buy the hanger, Ron is your business manager. And if you buy the nightclub, Tony (aka Gay Tony from GTA IV), is your business partner. R* has put a ton of effort into GTAO, you should at least check it out, even if you only do invite only sessions to avoid the chaos of the trolls and tryhards in public... Lamar is your first contact when you start.
@tangyzesty R* did say it's the future of the franchise, however, I can't see them abandoning single player story mode. That's the main thing that introduces players to GTAO. + years ago when they said GTAO is the future of the franchise, they said it would be included with every future release of the game moving forward. And that every new game will bring massive new updates to online. The question is, will they create new locations, or simply reintroduce the established locations. Currently were in San Andres and gonna be getting Vice city with GTA6. So I fully expect 7 to be based around an updated Liberty City. Meaning that by 7 GTAO players will be able to travel between and explore all 3 locations.
@okwhatever yes I do know that .
