Rockstar Games is gearing up for its next major update to GTA Online, and all signs suggest that the Summer 2025 DLC is arriving sooner than many players might expect. With patterns from previous years, subtle in-game clues, and leaked content finally ready to debut, fans have plenty of reasons to get excited. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming DLC, including Rockstar’s usual teaser strategies, past update timelines, and what the community is hoping to see.

Summer DLC Patterns Suggest an Early June Reveal
Looking at the timeline for the last two years, Rockstar tends to announce its summer DLC in the first week of June, with the full release coming about 11 to 20 days later. In 2023, San Andreas Mercenaries was announced on June 2 and released on June 13. In 2024, Bottom Dollar Bounties was announced on June 5 and launched on June 25. If Rockstar follows the same trend in 2025, we should expect the announcement within the first week of June and the release in mid-to-late June.

May 30 GTA+ Event Could Contain Teasers
Rockstar often uses its GTA+ membership perks to tease upcoming content. Last year, the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC was subtly hinted at just one day after its leak, via in-game perks and Newswire posts tied to GTA+. This year, the next GTA+ update drops on May 30, 2025, and fans are anticipating another round of clues in the form of exclusive perks, new liveries, or even small visual teasers in the promotional material.

In addition, the current GTA+ Classics Collection wraps up on May 28. This clears a perfect window for Rockstar to introduce either a Part 2 of the collection or entirely new themed content tied to the upcoming update.

Unreleased Police Outfits Could Finally Debut
During the Agents of Sabotage DLC, data miners discovered nine police-style uniforms in the game files. Four of them were labeled as next-gen exclusive, meant for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and enhanced PC. These were marked for a “Winter” release that never happened.

There's growing speculation that these outfits could finally be added in the upcoming DLC—either as part of GTA+ rewards or as unlockables through new missions or events. Rockstar has a history of storing unreleased content in game files for months before officially activating it, so this fits a familiar pattern.

Rockstar’s Teaser Tactics: Watch for the Clues
Rockstar rarely drops full details all at once. Instead, they tend to tease upcoming DLCs with a single vehicle showcase, subtle mentions in Newswire footnotes, or hidden clues in GTA+ previews. Before Agents of Sabotage, they showed off the Bravado Banshee GTS. Before Bottom Dollar Bounties, the Overflöd Pipistello made its debut. Expect similar teasers—likely a new vehicle or image—before the end of May or in early June.

What Players Want (and Don’t Want) from This Update
The GTA Online community has made its wishlist clear. Players are asking for more engaging business systems similar to Bottom Dollar Bounties and Agents of Sabotage, including interactive finale missions with big payouts and replayable content. Passive income businesses—such as wall safes and automated production—are also in demand.

There’s also a strong desire to revamp outdated systems like CEO crate grinding, MC Clubhouse features, and the vehicle cargo business, which currently follows an old, rigid structure. Players want modernized additions that expand gameplay options—not just tweaks to existing mechanics.

Meanwhile, the community is hoping Rockstar avoids repeating mistakes made with San Andreas Mercenaries, which was criticized for removing vehicles and offering a thin story with low replayability.

Final Thoughts: Summer DLC Reveal Is Right Around the Corner
All indicators suggest Rockstar is preparing to reveal the GTA Online Summer 2025 DLC in early June. The May 30 GTA+ update, the end of the Classics Collection, and the unusually open Rockstar content schedule all point toward a big announcement coming very soon.

Fans should keep an eye on GTA+ perks, Newswire posts, and vehicle showcases—because if history is any guide, Rockstar is about to start dropping hints.

Expect the official announcement in early June and a release before the end of the month. Stay tuned—Los Santos might be getting a big summer shake-up. Be ready—because once Rockstar drops the trailer, demand for GTA 5 modded accounts for sale will likely skyrocket.
