Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto Online will finally be getting one of its most anticipated updates, the heists game mode will finally be arriving, coming to both last generation and current generation consoles shortly after Grand Theft Auto V re-launches on the Xbox One and Playstation 4.
Rockstar doesn't say exactly when the update is coming but promises to provide further details “very soon”, following the November 18th re-release of GTA V. Heists was originally due to come out before the summer of this year but it ended up suffering a lengthy delay. The game mode will presumably be available by the time the PC version of GTA V releases at the end of January next year.
Rockstar apologized for the Heists delay back in June but it looks like the wait is finally almost over, with Heists expected to arrive before the end of the year. In addition to the small update on online game mode, Rockstar also published some numbers detailing player interactivity in GTA Online.
According to the developer, 33.8 million people over the past year have played Grand Theft Auto Online, making up for more than 2.3 billion collective hours of gameplay.

KitGuru Says: I was kind of hoping that Rockstar would do a surprise reveal of the Heists game mode on the day Grand Theft Auto V re-releases on the new consoles. However, this is still good news nonetheless, hopefully this means that PC gamers will be able to jump straight in and play all of the big updates Rockstar has brought to GTA Online over the past year. Are you guys glad Heists is coming out? Will you be trying it out on a console before the PC version releases? Are you even planning on getting the PC version following the lengthy delay?
oh god yes
ofcourse they release this after my ps3 dies
I’ll believe it when I’m actually playing a heist, I’ve been lied to about heists too many times before by R*
agreed
Yep. All one time!
Took them long enough ?
This does not say much more than “it’s coming soon”, no details at all. We’ve been hearing that since october of last year.
Hey atleast it might be released sometime near the launch of the PC version…I hope they don’t have it as a downloaded update though.
I forgot to say YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
haha get ps4 version
Way to go Rockstar! Releasing something that was intentionally supposed to be released a year and a month ago! Good job! While you’re at it, why not make people PAY for the update! *Don’t actually, it was sarcasm*
What I’m eagerly awaiting, albeit perhaps in vain, is for San Ferraro to be tacked onto the north of the state. Gives us more of a reason to drive up north then, doesn’t it…
pc version for me1
Fuck you Ubisoft
Huh? What does Ubisoft have to do with GTA? Lol it’s Rockstar…
kneegrow please, more hype to try to up sales…how about this, i wait on a steam sale *BOOM* mind blowing! I’ll wait a year or so like you’re doing for your “heists”.
Might just have to go PC. Not too excited about either next-gens. 😛
