After two weeks without DLC, Rockstar released a new content update for Grand Theft Auto Online today, once again keeping themselves to the Tuesday release timeframe we've gotten used to over the years.
While going two weeks without any new content may not seem to be a big issue to outsiders, after going over a year with an unwavering content release every single Tuesday, Rockstar led us all to expect this trend — and now it's back.
Today the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series, a DLC which maxes out alliteration in the title like no other, has been added to GTA Online.
Granted, it's a minor DLC compared to the likes of The Doomsday Heist or Smuggler's Run, but it's more substantial than the single vehicle or odd Adversary Mode we've been getting week over week. The update, "SSASSS", brings a new kind of race as well as 5 new vehicles to the game.
The new racing mode, called the Hotring Circuit, doesn't quite feel like the thing you'd throw all the fanfare of a new DLC for. The mode is locked to the new Declasse Hotring Sabre vehicle and sees 30 players race together on the same track across a multi-lap race.
Currently there are 10 Hotring Circuit maps in the game, though the DLC announcement seems to indicate that players will soon be able to make their own Hotring maps in the Creator.
With an entire new mode dedicated to it, you'd think the Hotring Sabre — which costs $830,000 — is the star of this update, however four other vehicles join this livery-covered ride.
The Cheval Taipan and the Overflod Entity XXR are representing the concept hypercar category which Rockstar loves oh so much, costing GTA$ 1,980,000 and 2,305,000 respectively. The Vapid GB200 is a highly customizable rally car which can be yours for GTA$ 940,000. The most unique offering of this DLC is the Vulcar Fagaloa, a retro station wagon which can be highly customized.
