Rockstar Games has announced a new GTA Online update called The Contract, bringing back Dr. Dre with a new business venture for players to get involved in.
The GTA community has been busy in the second half of 2021, following the release of the GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition.
Whether it’s typing in cheat codes for the first time in over a decade, or being hard at work reporting the multiple bugs that have been spoiling gameplay since its launch, there’s been a lot to do.
Circling back to GTA Online, players will have a load of new activities to engage with soon enough, as a new patch – furst codenamed the “Fixers update” – was touted to drop. Days later, Rockstar confirmed it was coming and it’s called The Contract.
So, let’s take a look at everything we know so far.
When is GTA Online The Contract coming out?
Rockstar Games has confirmed that The Contract update will roll out on December 15, 2021.
This news comes after a major leak from the ever-reliable Tez2.

New Contracts
A new business is expected to feature in the GTA Online Fixers update, according to Tez2’s sources, which will likely include new contracts.
#GTAOnline next update is codenamed Fixers, as per sources.
The codename suggests the return of more Tuner-alike Contracts. Since Dr.Dre is involved, the legit business, Rockstar hinted at, is likely music-centered and expandable with new Contracts.
