New Content
As this is the biggest GTA Online update ever, as you'd imagine there's a ton of new content on the way.
Private Island
The most significant addition is the arrival of the new map expansion, which comes in the form of a private island.
Unfortunately, the island will not be available in Free Mode.
The Heist
Of course, with the addition of this island comes a new Heist.
In the Cayo Perico Heist, we'll have to steal treasures from one of the deadliest drug traffickers in Los Santos - El Rubio.
New Radio Stations
Rockstar has revealed that alongside the grand opening of The Music Locker, and the new resident DJs, there will also be three new radio stations coming to GTA Online:
- Still Slipping Los Santos - UK DJ Joy Orbison's pirate radio station
- Kult FM 99.1 - hosted by Julian Casablancas of The Strokes and The Voidz
- The Music Locker - the new club will debut its own radio station
There will also be 250 new tracks arriving across hit stations FlyLo FM and Worldwide FM.
New Vehicles & Weapons
The expansion was expected to include a large number of vehicles, weapons, and other items.
Among the vehicles will be a submarine, which has featured in the trailers. The sub will act as an HQ, as well as a vehicle, so it looks to play a vital role in the new Heist.
The submarine will cost you over $2 million but it looks epic!
