'GTA 5' online update news: updates coming this year will be rich in features

Rockstar Games website

The online mode for "Grand Theft Auto V" is getting even more updates before the end of the year. Rockstar Games has announced via their official Newswire page that they will be offering "massive, feature-rich" updates this year and some of these will include a new feature for stunts and a successor to "Executives and Other Criminals."

According to the report, one of the upcoming updates will involve players and their Organization in the act of contraband trafficking. Players will be given a new real estate property which will serve as both their Organization's main headquarters and warehouse where they can buy, sell and manage contraband such as narcotics and jewelry.

Players will have to take a risk each time they head out for a delivery or for pick-up and there will always be the possibility of some other group raiding their warehouse while they are out during shipments. This is likely that while one team is out for shipment, other Organizations will be notified that the warehouse is open for a raid.

The post also confirms that one of the other upcoming updates includes the addition of stunt-ready vehicles. "GTA Online" may then feature stunt-focused competitions, races and missions. The Creator feature will also be optimized in order to take full advantage of the upcoming stunt features.

According to the post, the "In and Out" adversary mode is getting several new locations and that Rockstar Games is going to make weekly bonuses and weekly events more frequent. Some of the past weekly events include the "Versus Missions Week" and the "Friends in High Places Week."

Fans also speculate that with some of these updates and additions there may be new weapons, vehicles, and slight fixes to some of the bugs and glitches that may pop up as the game continues to grow.
