The Last Dose DLC missions will likely be released in March 2023 in GTA Online

On February 22, 2023, a well-known Rockstar Games insider and data miner, Gaming Detective (Twitter/that1detectiv3) shared a tweet revealing that the Last Dose story missions are set to be released by March 15, 2023, in Grand Theft Auto Online.

This user backed up their claims by sharing a screenshot from Rockstar Games' official Twitter profile, where the gaming studio pinned the Eclipse Blvd 50-car garage announcement tweet. The last paragraph of the pinned tweet reads as follows:

“GTA+ Members can claim theirs for free through March 15.”

According to Gaming Detective, Rockstar's tweet is scheduled to be unpinned on March 15, 2023, following which a new month for the paid subscription will begin. The user claimed that the gaming studio will release the Last Dose missions alongside the new GTA+ subscription benefits.

Additionally, they stated that the final installment of the Los Santos Drug Wars drip-feed content is expected to be released around the same time.

GTA Online Last Dose mission cutscenes were leaked ahead of time

With the Grand Theft Auto Online player base eagerly awaiting the release of the Last Dose missions from Rockstar Games, data miners have recently dug through the game files and revealed several unreleased cutscenes.

While these cutscenes provide a general idea of what the next chapter will be about, fans were surprised to learn about the return of a character from GTA 5's Story Mode who was thought to have died in the game.

One of the cutscenes reveals Dr. Isiah Friedlander, Michael De Santa’s therapist from Grand Theft Auto 5, making his multiplayer debut where he kidnaps Labrat from the Freakshop.

The Last Dose missions are expected to revolve around this character, and Grand Theft Auto Online players may be tasked with rescuing the Acid Lab expert from the therapist.
