It's Official: Big GTA Online Summer Update Landing in June, Details Incoming

Rockstar Games has just sent out emails to community pages confirming what many Grand Theft Auto fans have been hoping for. A brand new update is coming to Grand Theft Auto Online later this month. The email, which was shared by several community members including videotechuk _, contained a brief but exciting message that has players counting down the days.

This isn't just random timing. June has traditionally been when Rockstar drops the big annual DLC for the summer season, usually the biggest content release each year. It's become as predictable as the seasons themselves, and this year appears to be no different.

Tez2 was one of the first to "predict" the incoming update. A few weeks back, the prominent_ GTA _insider pointed out something interesting about the current GTA+ membership cycle. The subscription service is set to end on June 16, 2025.

Historically, Rockstar has timed major content releases to coincide with these membership cycles. Tez2 suggested that June 17 would be the likely release date for new content. Based on this recent email confirmation, that prediction seems spot on.

For those keeping track, last year's summer update arrived on June 25, 2024, bringing with it the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC. That update was particularly well-received, introducing the Bail Office as a new purchasable property and adding fresh mission types like Dispatch Work.

These additions gave players new ways to earn money and experience different gameplay mechanics, which is exactly what the community craves after months of playing the same content.

What makes this announcement particularly interesting is how Rockstar spread the word. Rather than a traditional press release or social media announcement, they reached out directly to community pages first, suggesting more substantial content.

Given that the email mentions "more details to come," players can expect a full reveal very soon, possibly as early as tomorrow or over the weekend.

With_ Grand Theft Auto 6 _coming out on May 26, 2026, these updates keep the current player base engaged and active while the development team puts the finishing touches on the next installment in the franchise.

Despite the game's age, the player base remains robust, and these regular content injections help maintain that momentum. It's also part of the reason why_ Grand Theft Auto V continues to set new sales records, inching closer to the top spot held by Minecraft _as the best-selling video game in history.

And just in case you don't own a copy of_ GTA V yet, it's currently on sale as part of the 2025 Days of Play event. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is also available for a historically low price through the same sales promotion while Grand Theft Auto III _will be available for free to PS Plus subscribers later this month.
