The holiday season officially kicked off with a generous surprise for GTA Online enthusiasts. Most recently, the Declasse Tahoma Coupe was made available to gamers once they completed the GTA Trillion heist task.
The devs had previously implemented Halloween-themed map tweaks and an extraterrestrial scavenger quest.
Recent Rockstar Games events have included new aesthetic goods and limited-time events, but traditionally, winter upgrades make significant modifications to the game’s core mechanics. Each year, GTA Online receives significant upgrades in response to player feedback, and this year is no different.
When is GTA Online Winter update coming?
Rockstar Games will release the Los Santos Drug Wars update on December 13 for all platforms.
Quality of life improvements
Improved features can be found throughout the Winter update. Players can now order bicycles from their Personal Garage, new vehicle purchases will arrive at players’ garages more quickly, and users of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will be able to see ray-traced reflections.
Starting on December 6, the value of all Shark Cards was increased to bring them in line with other business operations, and Vehicle Cargo Sell Mission payments were increased to reflect this.
Some of the updates that will be implemented in the Winter release are listed below.

- The Benefactor Terrorbyte can be used to launch Business Sell Missions in all Session types, including Invite-only Sessions.
- Take on Agatha’s Casino Story Missions as a solo operator by visiting the Management Office of The Diamond Casino & Resort (these missions previously required at least 2 players).

Vehicle Updates
- New vehicle purchases will arrive in your Garage faster than before.
- Select Custom Weaponized Vehicles can now be used in Races, where appropriate — weapons will be disabled outside of GTA Races.

Economy Updates

Get more of what you want faster with an across-the-board increase in the GTA$ value of all Shark Cards. Starting today, all Shark Card denominations have been boosted by 20–25% when purchased directly in GTA Online or via any of the platform stores. For special GTA+ Member Shark Cards, this is on top of the current 15% bonus GTA$.
The December update is “the first installment of a massive multi-part update taking you all across the expanse of Southern San Andreas, featuring some familiar faces and a new troupe of entrepreneurial misfits on a mission to expand the minds of the citizens of Los Santos, one trip at a time,” as stated by Rockstar.
