Feature Updates & Improvements

Calls such as those from LJT have been reduced to messages. Bryony continues to annoy the fuck out of us, though.
An additional two garage slots ~~has~~ have been added as well, so yay!
Christ – They added a timer to the Lucky Wheel! Anytime you get near it seems you will see how much time you have left to wait until you can spin it again.
Looks like it’s now possible to return ANY personal vehicle back to storage. Rockstar is killing it!
The colors in the MCT for MC businesses regarding stock and supplies have been fixed, so good luck getting used to that change now!
The MkII’s 5 minute cooldown is now applied to the regular mechanic as well.
~~Vehicles with missiles show a counter with how many missiles are left if their capacity is limited.~~
Staying stationary or going in the wrong direction in Open Wheel Races makes you non-contact.
Snacks can be bought from Wendy ~~and the interaction menu~~!!!
~~Unconfirmed:~~ The Casino Heist Gold Glitch seems to have been patched.
During Open Wheel races you are now able to change your tire compound (soft/medium/hard) when stationary in the pits by pressing right on the D-Pad or right-arrow key on PC. (Credits /u/Final-Atonement)

FAQ

When will the DLC drop?

Soon. Rockstar usually pushes updates around 3:30AM EST or 9:30AM UTC. Check this helpful map showing all the timezones.

Does the DLC cost money, how can I get the DLC?

The DLC will be made automatically available through whatever launcher/store you have the game on. Those using the Rockstar Launcher can expect to see their games updated first, so be ready for that.

What can we expect?

Judging by Rockstar’s announcements and timelines, this DLC won’t be massive. They’ve confirmed new business battles and yacht missions, probably comparable to the previous client jobs we’ve gotten with the Terrorbyte.
Additionally they’ve teased some cars, of which we’ve gotten images of a new supercar, a musclecar and an F-1 car. Some new race modes have been mentioned as well. It’s safe to assume that the content will be dripfed in stages, especially the more interesting items might be left for later.

Have the Acura NSX and new Toyota Supra been added?

Some images of the Toyota Supra and Acura NSX being converted at Benny’s have been floating around – these are fake and have been put into circulation by a clickbaity asshole who shall not be named.

Are weekly updates on Tuesdays starting now?

Probably not. Rockstar always goes a little off their usual schedule with DLC drops and this is probably the same thing. It’s hard to say if the sales will already change this Thursday, but I’d recommend y’all reek the benefits of the sales before you regret it.

Rockstar has been keeping GTA Online afloat for quite some time now. The game released way back in 2013 and it still has a pretty strong community. The developers have been in the news the last couple of weeks, as there were reports of a Rockstar VR game in development, clues about GTA 6, and much more.
