As can be seen in the aforementioned X post, Grand Theft Auto community member @videotechuk_ has shared that Rockstar Games sent them an email confirming that there will be a major GTA 5 Online update this month. Here’s what the supposed email reads:

"Keep an eye out for information about a new update coming to GTA Online later this month — more details to come."

The statement suggests that Rockstar is likely to release the information very soon, possibly as soon as tomorrow (with the weekly GTA 5 Online update newswire post) or this weekend.

Rockstar Games typically shares GTA Online DLC news between Thursday and Saturday. Furthermore, for those unaware, the game always receives a new DLC this time of the year, dubbed by fans as the Summer DLC.

Last year, the developers released a GTA Online update on June 25, 2024, adding the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC to the popular multiplayer game. The main attraction was a new purchasable property called Bail Office, and new missions like Dispatch Work.

Gamers can expect something similar in scope this year as well, most likely a new set of missions to enjoy while waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6.
