GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties Update Out Now — Here’s What It Does
GTA Online’s big summer 2024 update, called Bottom Dollar Bounties, is out now across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC alongside the release of patch 1.69 for Grand Theft Auto 5.
Players assume the role of “the new lead dog” for Bottom Dollar Bail Enforcement, and work with notorious bounty hunter Maude Eccles’ daughter, junior assistant bounty hunter Jenette, to take down targets.
Elsewhere, LSPD officer Vincent Effenburger provides new off-the-books Dispatch Work. New rides include three new Law Enforcement vehicles, below, new Drift Tuning upgrades for select vehicles, as well as new tools and props in the Creator.

The other new vehicles are the Enus Paragon S (Sports), the Bollokan Envisage (Sports), the Übermacht Niobe (Sports), the Annis Euros X32 (Coupe), the Invetero Coquette D1 (Sports Classic) and the Declasse Yosemite 1500 (Off-Road).
Today’s update also brings increased base GTA$ payouts for many activities, including Open Wheel Races, Taxi Work, A Superyacht Life, Lowriders Missions, Operation Paper Trail, Casino Story Missions, Gerald’s Last Play, Madrazo’s Dispatch Services, Premium Deluxe Repo Work, and Project Overthrow. Solo players also benefit from an increased timer when taking on Gunrunning and Biker Sell Missions.
Rockstar teased further updates coming later this summer, including Martin Madrazo providing daily bounties. You’ll also be able to ride a Pegassi Pizza Boy scooter and help Pizza This… deliver pizzas around Los Santos. Expect an Independence Day event, a Halloween trip to North Yankton’s Ludendorff Cemetery, an “exciting new multi-stage head-to-head mode”, a new community Heist Challenge, and more coming to the game.
The GTA Online summer 2024 update comes amid increased excitement around GTA 6. So far Rockstar has dropped a solitary, record-breaking trailer for the game, due out fall 2025 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Rockstar is yet to detail its plan for GTA 6’s version of GTA Online, or say what becomes of the existing GTA Online once GTA 6 comes out. Until then, however, GTA Online remains hugely popular, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars for parent company Take-Two each quarter.
