3) New vehicles

Rockstar Games is yet to announce the next lineup of vehicles that will be released alongside the DLC. However, they revealed that players would receive the brand-new Declasse Tahoma Coupe for a limited time.

Players previously stole over $4 trillion while completing a community heist challenge set by Rockstar. Announcing the staggering amount from the challenge, Rockstar Games posted the following message about players receiving the free vehicle:

"As a result of that absolutely staggering take in The Heists Challenge, a new vehicle in the upcoming GTA Online update - the retro-styled Declasse Tahoma Coupe - will be made available to all GTA Online players for a limited period later this month."

4) Ray-tracing visual improvements

Players on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will also be getting an additional update that adds ray-tracing reflections and shadows to the game. This will massively enhance the visual quality, as the update aims to render real-time reflections using the Fidelity Mode graphics settings.

5) Holiday treats

Rockstar Games did not explain what they meant when they mentioned on their Newswire page that there would be some "jolly holiday hijinks." They did not reveal any specific plans, but it might be related to the weekly updates.

"Caution: Los Santos Drug Wars contains a range of wild side effects, including a new business enterprise to operate, new vehicles and missions, and experiential upgrades."

Players can expect additional changes later on:

"And this is just the first dose — be prepared for lots more exciting events, including some jolly holiday hijinks, significant story and gameplay updates, and much more to come."

Rockstar Games hinted at a new business enterprise, vehicles, and missions. They also mentioned that players could expect to see some new upgrades along the way. GTA Online fans won't have to wait much longer to find out what's in store since the Winter DLC goes live in two days.
