GTA Online Summer Special patch notes: 15 new cars, Yacht missions, more

Bill Cooney

Rockstar Games is adding a shed load of content with the GTA Online Summer Update and we’ve got everything you need to know about it. 

The game developers have been building up the hype for the latest Summer Update in GTA Online for quite some time now. New heists have been mentioned, fresh vehicles, and a ton of never-before-seen missions were expected. Rockstar previously confirmed a few of these things with an announcement full of hints.

Now, way before official patch notes have been revealed, Grand Theftt Auto’s most prominent leaker has beat them to the punch. TezFunz2, who reveals almost everything before it happens in-game, has also spilled the beans on the next content update.

And it’s a big one.

GTA Online Summer Special update patch notes

Summer Update size

The update will reportedly be around 2GB for Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PC players.

There’s a lot packed into the patch as well, so let’s run through the patch notes we know about so far.

New Super Yacht co-op missions

Yacht in GTA
If you own a Super Yacht in GTA Online, you’re going to have a great summer.

An all-new set of missions will be available, but only if you own a Galaxy Super Yacht. The missions will launch from your floating apartment complex and can be done solo or with up to three friends.

Everything from deep-sea diving to “high-speed hijinks on the high seas” has been teased by Rockstar, and we can’t wait to jump in and see what they’re all about.

Business Battles & Adversary Modes

A new crop of Adversary Modes will be available at the Diamond Casino with the Summer Update.

Several new Business Battles are being added as well, offering some serious rewards in “surprising places.” Exactly what is being added remains to be seen, but at least we’ll have a way to make some money and save up for a Super Yacht of our own now.

There will also be a jackpot of new Adversary Modes for players to face off against one another in at Diamond Casino following the update, in case you need a break from all the new missions.

New Vehicles & Open Wheel races

Rides for Benny to customize, off-roaders, tunable sports cars, and a pair of new Open Wheel models like in the image above were all previously confirmed. Now, following several leaks, we know that there will be 15 new cars headed to the game.

These include the following:
