GTA Online Update and Content

How GTA 5 Online will be updated going forward wasn’t discussed. At this point in the game’s life cycle it seems unlikely the game will be getting anything too revolutionary.

Major GTA updates in the past included the introduction of new game modes, additional heists and the hugely popular content creator update. These, along with other updates along the way, have combined to make GTA 5 one of the most successful games ever.

Further updates from a content perspective will likely be of a similar format to the last update, Grand Theft Auto Online: Arena War. This update included new battle modes and an array of new vehicles.
