GTA Online players should keep themselves updated with winter DLC rumors

A potential release date

Most players are marking their calendars for December 13, 2022. This is because GTA+ membership rewards will be renewed after December 12, which could potentially hint at the next big update. Of course, Rockstar would likely advertise the big event a week earlier.

Rockstar hints at Michael's return?

Ever since GTA Online reintroduced Franklin Clinton back in the Contract DLC update, players have been wanting to see the other GTA 5 protagonists make a comeback. Rockstar might be teasing a Michael update, considering all the film references in the Vespucci Job Remix.

During the GTA Online mission "On Course," it was revealed that Michael is currently working on Vinewood movies. A potential DLC update could tie into that. Michael always held a deep appreciation for cinema.

With that said, Michael's voice actor denied any reports that he was going to be involved with future updates. Ned Luke tweeted the following statement after responding to the video game website VG247:

"What does this dude really know? Or any other dude? #nada Just add "might be" and say whatever the hell you want. Does #mightbe make #******** reality? It's a mystery. Or it isn't. The answer is not the answer. Or is it? #Unknowing is #Knowing"

Of course, it remains to be seen if he's being serious or just playing around. It should be noted that Luke does stay in touch with the rumors. He previously debunked a false death claim over a year ago.

Players could potentially make their own music

Reliable leaker @Tez2Funz suggested that Rockstar might give players the chance to mix their own music. Take-Two Interactive has previously registered a website domain with the title "rapponator.com."

It was filed all the way back on October 22, 2020, so they have been working on it for a while now. The GTA Online insider also reported the possibility that Dr. Dre might reappear in the next update. However, this is only speculation for the time being, so take it with a grain of salt.

Miscellaneous info

GTA Online's source code has been leaked very recently by hackers. Whether or not they were also responsible for the GTA 6 leaks is unclear at the moment. Either way, the following names can be found in the game files:

• Acid

• Acid Lab
• Dax Overlay
• Dead Drop Package
• Downtown Cab
• Gun Van
• Stash House
• Tractor
• Warehouse Juggalo
• Warehouse Juggalo Dax

These are blip names that should appear on the map radar. Based on the "Warehouse Juggalo" title, it's very likely that Wade is going to show up in GTA Online. "Downtown Cab" might also refer to a potential fast travel feature for GTA+ members, since @TezFunz2 reported it earlier.
