Hao's Special Works is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online initially released alongside the Expanded and Enhanced versions on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X that was later released on supported PCs following the launch of Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced.
The update focuses on next‑gen performance tuning and racing at the LS Car Meet, adding an HSW shop with new conversions, expanded customization options, extra Time Trials, and the ability to buy exact copies of other players’ cars shown at the meet.
Overview / Description
Hao's Special Works expands the underground LS Car Meet space introduced with Los Santos Tuners update. On current‑gen consoles, the HSW shop replaces the regular mod shop at the meet while matching its prior functionality and adding brand‑new conversions and performance modifications.
Beyond tuning, the update bolsters race‑focused play with more Time Trials and additional racing‑adjacent activities. It also streamlines sharing builds within the community by letting players directly purchase exact copies of other players’ showcased vehicles via the Interaction Menu.
Finally, HSW also brings a sub‑line of weekly changing bonuses and discounts tailored to current‑gen players.
