What can players expect from the GTA Online The Criminal Enterprises update?

GTA Online has always been a beloved multiplayer experience, especially as Rockstar keeps adding new content. Over the past few years, players have witnessed major DLCs for the game, including the iconic Doomsday Heist update and the most recent Los Santos Car Meet update.

The trailer for the update beautifully showcased what players can expect this summer. Rockstar has evidently taken some inspiration from real life as the world of GTA Online is going to be chaotic. With temperatures rising and gas prices soaring, big business tycoons are making more profit than ever before.

Players will need to help the International Affairs Agency (IAA) in the new Operation Paper Trail and investigate the Duggans, who are suspected to be behind all this.

Every entrepreneur in the game will be able to earn more profits as the update will increase payouts throughout the game. Whether players hustle like Bikers or run Nightclubs, everybody will be able to take advantage of the situation.

Players will also get a new set of missions, new vehicles, new customization options, and more. The update will bring a new set of wheels to the game, including new Tuner vehicles. Finally, Rockstar will nerf the overpowered Oppressor Mk2.

The game is set to receive a lot of content as Rockstar is committed to bringing new experiences with regular updates.
