GTA Online’s Next Major Update Lets You Set Up Your Own Bounty Hunting Business
GTA Online is getting its own take on Dog the Bounty Hunter with the game’s next major update.
Developer Rockstar Games announced this summer’s update to the hugely popular GTA Online lets players set up their own bail enforcement and bounty hunting business. There’s very little to go on at this point, not even a release date, but already fans are getting excited by the prospect of living out their Dog the Bounty Hunter fantasy within the virtual world of GTA Online.
Elsewhere, players will get to “conduct a range of off-the-books enforcement activities” across Los Santon for Vincent. There are new tools and props to create custom Drift and Drag Races in the Creator, and “much more” later this month.
Here’s the official blurb, per Rockstar:
This summer’s action-packed GTA Online update also delivers a collection of new rides to covet and collect, boosts to payouts across a number of existing modes and missions, including Taxi Work, Open Wheel Races, Operation Paper Trail, and more.
Creator upgrades include the aforementioned expansion of custom Drift Race tracks and Drag Race circuits, and new units in all tracks — from drivers doing donuts and bouncing lowriders, to crowd animations, and more.
The summer update also makes various improvements to GTA Online, including an increased Sell Mission timer to make it easier for solo players taking on Biker and Gunrunning sales, snacks automatically replenishing when launching most missions, and buffing defensive and armor capabilities for the Sparrow and Bombushka.
“As we continue to monitor and balance payouts to ensure all mission types are fun and rewarding, we will be increasing base payouts for players taking part in Open Wheel Races, Taxi Work, and many Contact Missions,” Rockstar said.
The GTA Online summer 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.
