Rockstar has confirmed that GTA Online is getting a major new update in July called The Kortz Center Heist, letting players rob Los Santos' most prestigious art gallery. The building has been sitting in GTA 5 since launch — it appeared in a story mode standoff — but has never had an accessible interior or any meaningful content attached to it.
Like previous GTA Online heists, this one will likely come packed with new vehicles, weapons, and clothing, and could introduce new gameplay mechanics too. Prior heists have strong replay value thanks to multiple approaches, letting crews tackle the same job in very different ways. To take part, players will need to own one of the mansions added in the last major GTA Online update — the mansion's art studio gets converted into a heist planning room. Players who don't own a mansion yet or are short on cash will have ways to earn bonus GTA$ in the coming weeks, and GTA+ members are getting a $2 million discount on mansions soon. Full details on everything the update includes beyond the heist are still thin — Rockstar will likely drop a proper breakdown a few days before launch.
Rockstar is also giving Xbox One and PS4 players a free upgrade to the current-gen versions of GTA Online alongside the update.
With GTA 6 targeting a November release, this heist looks like Rockstar's way of keeping the GTA Online crowd busy through the final stretch — and giving lapsed players a solid reason to jump back in.
