GTA 5’s 10th anniversary update is the next big event for the game as announced by Rockstar Games last week. Much information about the special occasion has been leaked online, revealing a lot of things players can expect when the update goes live this Thursday, September 14, 2023. A brand new vehicle is also going to be released as part of the San Andreas Mercenaries DLC with the update.
The exact release time hasn’t been disclosed yet; however, gamers are inclined to believe that the GTA 5 anniversary update will follow the same release schedule as the normal weekly updates.
GTA 5’s 10th anniversary expected release time for different regions
Rockstar shared information about the upcoming GTA 5 10th anniversary in their last Newswire post. Surprisingly, the developers haven’t shared any trailer yet to celebrate this special event despite the game completing 10 years of its journey.
Rockstar Games rarely discloses the release times for such events in advance, generally to avoid any last-minute unexpected delays on the day. While the developers haven’t given any specific schedule for the upcoming anniversary update, it’s presumable based on every weekly event’s starting time. It is safe to assume that the same pattern will be followed this time as well. It will also kick-start a brand new GTA+ membership period for the next month.
