Top 5 things to know about GTA Online's Summer Update 2021

GTA Online fans have been anxious to learn about the 2021 summer update ever since Rockstar announced it. Most of them had predicted some of the features that would be included, but they are still looking forward to its debut.

The previous summer update that came out in 2020 was seen as a letdown. This is why many players anticipated a huge summer update this year. They've been asking for a few additions to the game, such as a car meet zone where players don't have to worry about griefers.

Rockstar has granted their request with the LS Car Meet and a whole new update centered around underground car culture.

The LS Car Meet, a gathering place for users to contest or exhibit their vehicles in GTA Online, is the main highlight of the Tuners update. It will have a "good vibes only" policy, making it impossible to enter with an armed vehicle.

There will be membership privileges, a test track to try out driving skills, and new stores selling merch, tattoos, and car mods.

2) New Missions
