On March 9, 2023, Rockstar Games shared a tweet announcing the Grand Theft Auto Online: Los Santos Drug Wars - The Last Dose DLC update. The tweet also included a newswire and a teaser video for the DLC episode.

Rockstar's newswire defined the update as follows:

“The saga of GTA Online: Los Santos Drug Wars reaches its eye-popping conclusion with an explosion of hallucinations, kidnapping, and revenge in The Last Dose. Dax always knew the Powers That Be were gonna push back, and now the Fooliganz will need all the help they can get.”

The aforementioned update will include five new story-based missions that bring the Los Santos Drug Wars saga to a climax. The update's theme has been teased as revolving around the connections between drug dealers and the pharmaceutical industry.

“Reach the bottom of the rabbit hole in five new story missions that reveal the mysterious connection between Los Santos’ illicit drug trade and the pharmaceutical industry, as Dr. Isiah Friedlander returns to the fray to wreak havoc in this mind-bending and twisted finale.”

While several cutscenes from the unreleased DLC were already leaked in December 2022, unaware fans were surprised to see Dr. Isiah Friedlander, GTA 5's protagonist Michael De Santa's therapist, reappear in the multiplayer game.

Dr. Friedlander was originally thought to be dead in Story Mode, but the recent teaser confirmed that he is alive and has begun illicit trading in the pharmaceutical business.

The update will be available next Thursday on the following gaming platforms:
