The GTA Online Summer Update 2024 is approaching fast, and the Grand Theft Auto community is seemingly gearing up for it. While players are excited to check out the new additions to the multiplayer game, they should also keep an eye on their in-game bank balance.

Why you should save money for the GTA Online Summer Update 2024

1) To buy new vehicles

The GTA Online Summer Update 2024 is expected to bring some new vehicles to the multiplayer game. While Rockstar Games is already comfortable charging exorbitant rates for simple things, it has started to push cars’ values up to the $5 million mark. The Bravado Police Gauntlet Interceptor, which was released in March 2024, costs $5,420,000 standard.

The upcoming Summer Update 2024 is also expected to include such expensive vehicles. Therefore, saving money is a smart move.

2) Upgrade costs are expensive

With the GTA Online Summer Update 2024, Rockstar Games will add new upgrades to the Bombushka Sparrow, which is one of the best helicopters in the game. The last time the developer added new upgrades to old vehicles (Mammoth Avenger) it cost players a hefty amount of money.

Therefore, if you have these vehicles and are planning to upgrade them after the Summer Update 2024, you should start saving money as soon as possible. New buyers should also start making money as the vehicles are not cheap.

3) To try out the new clothes on day one

The GTA Online Summer Update 2024 is expected to bring new outfits to the game. Many players are looking forward to acquiring cop outfits in Grand Theft Auto Online as Rockstar Games has been constantly adding police-related things to the multiplayer title.

Unfortunately, the clothes in the game are rather expensive and can drain your money quickly if not careful. Therefore, every Grand Theft Auto Online player must save money so that they can balance their budget among new vehicles, upgrades, and clothing items.

4) New missions may not offer double money rewards

Rockstar Games is notorious for offering low payouts for most missions. While the new missions in the GTA Online Summer Update 2024 will leave players excited, they may not offer the desired payouts.

Therefore, you should grind regularly this week and be prepared for when the Summer 2024 DLC drops. Having enough money in your in-game bank account will be helpful if the upcoming jobs and missions turn out to be low-paying.

Side note: The latest Grand Theft Auto Online weekly update is offering double money on some of the best jobs.

5) To maintain the general quality of life

Even if you are not interested in the GTA Online Summer Update 2024, you should have money in your in-game account to maintain a general quality of life. As mentioned before, things in the multiplayer game are expensive, and snacks, armor, and weapons are also no exception. Without enough money, you may struggle to afford these things.

Fortunately, there are also many great ways to make money in GTA Online. Players should try them out regularly to earn cash in the game.
