Rockstar Games' latest update, The Contract, will have many exciting features and a few characters from the storyline of GTA 5 will return. Rockstar Games is collaborating with hip-hop legend Dr Dre for the same. He will feature in the game as an NPC and plans on releasing new music within GTA Online.

Such a collaboration has never been seen in any GTA game. The update will also bring back characters like Franklin, Lamar Davis and Chop. Many fans are eager to see how Franklin has grown ever since the story arc ended.

The introduction of storied characters will recall many players who stopped playing the game when story mode ended. Although GTA Online has always been popular, the arrival of musicians in the game will bring in more players who are hip-hop fans and new to the GTA title.

The addition of many more features, such as the Agency, new cars and weapons, will also attract more players to try the game.

The Contract update in GTA Online will bring players many new experiences, in the hopes of attracting new fans after the controversial release of GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition.
