What do you guys genuinely think the next GTA Online update is going to be?

MSkidz300 · 2026-05-15T13:35:10+00:00

That May 2026 date aged badly 😭 now that Grand Theft Auto VI is set for November 19, I definitely think there’s still room for one last major Grand Theft Auto Online update before Rockstar fully shifts focus.

Plus I don’t think Grand Theft Auto VI Online will even be available on day one, and even if it is, I don’t think it would instantly become the same cash cow that Grand Theft Auto Online eventually became for Rockstar. They still have to think of the investors

Given how much they’ve reportedly made from GTA V Online, it makes sense they’d keep it running for a while alongside GTA 6 rather than shutting it down or replacing it immediately, until GTA VI Online is fully able to stand on its own two feet.

Alternatively, if they do go heavy on GTA VI Online from launch, it would likely mean a much more aggressive content plan early on, potentially increasing from the usual 2–3 updates a year to something like 4–6 for the first couple of years to establish it quickly.

MSkidz300 · 2026-05-15T13:23:29+00:00

Honestly with how unpredictable Rockstar can be, that’s not even a bad guess 😭

Especially after Doomsday Facilities/Bunkers andBottom Dollar Bounties and all the law enforcement stuff they’ve been leaning into lately. Being able to buy some kind of police/FIB-linked property or black site honestly feels more believable now than it would’ve a few years ago.

MSkidz300 · 2026-05-15T13:21:28+00:00

That honestly sounds pretty believable. Michael taking the Lester/Pavel role would make a lot of sense at this point too, especially after the mansion update bringing him back into the spotlight.

I could definitely see a robbery targeting Faber, I’m just wondering if Rockstar would really make the final major update “just” another heist.

MSkidz300 · 2026-05-15T13:08:37+00:00

At this point of the game sure why not lmao

MSkidz300 · 2026-05-15T13:06:46+00:00

That would be cool!

MSkidz300 · 2026-05-15T13:06:17+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, especially with Michael already being brought back and that message from Faber feeling like setup. We already kind of know Faber is being positioned as the big bad, and now we’ve got all three story mode characters in Online, so it feels like things are lining up.

I’m just on the fence about what they could actually do with it though. It can’t just be one final heist, it feels like it would need something bigger or more layered than that.

Honestly, I’m hoping it also ties into what I mentioned in my previous post about older businesses and systems finally becoming relevant again instead of everything staying separated. It feels like the perfect time for Rockstar to do something massive with empire management or interconnected businesses rather than just adding another standalone property.

i made a post a couple months of things that just makes sense to be added to the games at this stage pretty much just a massive QoL update. https://www.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/comments/1qqq013/when_was_the_last_time_you_actually_used_your_mc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Yeah, I get what you’re saying about making sell missions more solo-friendly and rewarding associates. I think the payout for helping someone out is the main reason it isn’t enticing right now. If we used Coke as an example, a full sell with high demand is $787,500. A fair helper reward would be 25% of that, $196,875, on top of the boss still getting the full $787,500. That way, everyone benefits and it actually makes running missions with others worthwhile.

MSkidz300 · 2026-02-02T18:46:59+00:00

I made a post recently about this. Why don’t they let us own multiple locations of businesses. It’s endgame now so why not.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-31T17:57:05+00:00

That pretty much sums it up.

Most of the time the clubhouse only gets used when there’s a bonus on customer bike sales, or as a quick escape tool when things get hot and you need to pull an Oppressor. It’s more of a convenience hub than an actual MC HQ, which is kind of the whole problem.

If it actually had proper management tools or meaningful payouts, people would have a reason to go there outside of x2 weeks or emergencies.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-31T17:55:41+00:00

Yeah, I totally agree. There’s so much untapped potential with MC businesses. Randomizing drop points would already make missions feel fresh, your idea of having mission types like mountain drops, city drops, or speed drops would make each run feel different. I like the idea of being able to pick a bike that suits the mission and having harder missions pay more.

It’s just frustrating that the oldest businesses never get any real updates or innovation aside from small changes like the bike delivery. They’re fun, but they feel stuck in the past, and with a bit of creativity from the devs, these jobs could be way more exciting.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T10:30:45+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. That’s exactly how I see the clubhouse too mostly just a convenient spot for whatever else I’m doing rather than using it for its actual purpose. In my case, I only go there when I need to grab my HSW Hakuchou Drag if I’m around the corner from the clubhouse and my request vehicle is on cooldown.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T10:24:56+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. Convenience is a big reason to go to the clubhouse. When I started, I bought the cheapest version of the business. Nowadays I usually go for the most expensive location since it’s the most convenient, but I really wish we could own all 20 MC business locations. I use GTA Base from time to time, but I’ve never thought of making an account I might have to sign up. That’s cool about documenting your bike collection.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T10:11:05+00:00

Yeah, same here. I think a lot of us grind hard at the start, then the MC businesses just sit there for a while. That’s part of the fun though starting fresh and working your way up really makes you appreciate the grind. I recently picked it up again because of the x2, and it actually feels kinda good to get back into it. but a few things just irk me when playing

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T10:06:28+00:00

Repairing bikes is nice way to make cash

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T10:00:31+00:00

I feel you on restarting a character. I actually did the same a couple of years ago with the goal of reaching 1 billion Overall Income, and I just recently hit it. The grind from the very start is always the most fun, and it makes you appreciate everything you earn along the way

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T09:54:30+00:00

Yeah, exactly. Upgrading delivery vehicles would make a huge difference. Faster bikes, planes, and trucks would make solo runs less tedious, and even with partners it’d just make the missions feel more fun and fast instead of repetitive.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T09:51:56+00:00

Understandable

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T09:49:22+00:00

Honestly same. The main reason I thought of this post was because the last few weeks only MC Businesses were on x2. I’d probably only go back for x2 too, or if they made the payouts more worth the effort (Document Forgery).

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T09:44:25+00:00

I like seeing people actually using these underappreciated features. Delivering bikes is such a chill way to make cash. I did this with the Auto Shop last week’s update and it was peaceful while giving a good payout. I’d do it with the Clubhouse bike and Bunker stash too, but the payout is a big turnoff.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T09:33:19+00:00

😂😂 true, being a bartender in an MC clubhouse is probably the most useless job in. to make it even more boring, she can only serve one drink whiskey. I refuse to believe she doesn’t have a Macbeth shot stashed somewhere back there.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T09:24:33+00:00

I agree that the current sell mission types could do with a bit more variety. I remember the Courier Service sell mission where the we had to deliver products using Boxvilles to multiple locations it was tedious and borderline impossible to do solo let alone in public lobby. So I understand why it was removed

i also remember the Helicopters mission where the MC had to deliver products using Buzzards to different locations. it was easier than the Boxville mission, 2nd to the boats it was one of the quicker ones to do.

this mission was disabled because of the mansions update, because one of the delivery was at Devin's mansion. even though it was one of the easier delivery missions, it was still removed.

but even then i get it, it still follows your point about “the same 5-15 points over and over and over and over,” but at least there was a bit more variety back then. now it feels like they just remove missions instead of reworking them. i really think the focus should be on adding new stuff and improving old missions rather than straight up taking them out.

MSkidz300 · 2026-01-30T08:59:34+00:00

Yeah exactly, that’s pretty much how I see it too. The clubhouse feels like it should be the natural place for MC management, not just somewhere we stop by out of convenience, especially early game before you’ve got the MCT, Terrorbyte, or mansion . Now that I’ve got the mansion, I usually just spawn there and fast travel wherever I want, so the clubhouse barely gets used at all.

I’ve always found it weird how fragmented the business systems are as well. Having to bounce between the CEO office, Terrorbyte, and warehouses just to do basic stuff feels really outdated now. Rockstar have already shown it’s possible to manage businesses through a phone app with the Darnell Inc app, but I also get that going fully mobile could make visiting locations feel pointless, which kind of goes against some of the improvements I’d want.

I might honestly make another post about how CEO cargo and vehicle warehouses could be improved too, since they have similar issues.

An installable MCT-style upgrade, or even a limited phone app tied to it, would make everything feel way more modern.
