GTA Online Winter Update 2023 will add a brand new business, along with other content

As can be seen in the post above, Rockstar Games announced the brand new GTA Online Winter Update for December and offered some exciting details about it. As expected, the developers are going to add one more brand new business linked to vehicle robberies and Red’s Auto Parts, a brand new purchasable yard.

Yusuf Amir is set to return to the series with this DLC and is going to help players in this new high-stakes venture. This character was last seen in Grand Theft Auto 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony. This is how Rockstar described his return and role in the upcoming Winter Update:

“Yusuf still lusts after the finer things in life — chief among them adding to his collection of luxury import vehicles by any means necessary. With the help of his cousin Jamal, you’ll be charged with planning and executing intricate, high-stakes robberies under the cover of Red’s Auto Parts, a new purchasable salvage yard where you’ll call the shots. Sell the best of the best to Yusuf or salvage your boosted vehicles for parts — the choice, and the cash, is yours.”
