Countdown to the San Andreas Summer update

Note: The above countdown assumes Rockstar Games releases the update around the usual time. A delay of an hour or two can occur, but that won't be reflected in the embed since it only counts down to 9 am BST on June 13, 2023.

At the very least, gamers should know how long they must wait for the big summer DLC to come out finally. San Andreas Mercenaries will be one of the few significant updates released this year, so there should be plenty of content for gamers to watch once it comes out.

Remember that many of the upcoming features could be drip-fed throughout a few months.
