GTA Online Summer Update 2024, announced details so far
According to Rockstar, the upcoming GTA Online Summer Update 2024 will let players drive a “souped-up Cruiser” to help Vincent, who had a major role in the previous Clucklin Bell Farm Raid heist.
The latest newswire post also confirms new vehicles, including the previously announced Overflod Pipistrello, which will be added to the game later in 2024.
The update is also set to permanently boost the payouts of Taxi Work, Operation Paper Trail, Open Wheel Races, and more.
Apart from that, the Summer DLC is also bringing new Creator Upgrades to the game, including the expansion of custom Drag Race circuits, Drift Race tracks, and new units in all tracks such as bouncing lowriders, crowd animations, and more.
Moreover, both Sparrow and Bombushka are set to receive buffs in terms of their armor and defensive capabilities. Biker and Gunrunning Sell Mission timers will be increased in the upcoming update as well, making them more suitable jobs for solo players in 2024.
All this and more will be released later this month (June). Fans can expect an official trailer of the update very soon.
