GTA Online has showcased a little more of its biggest ever update, The Cayo Perico Heist, which is scheduled to release from 15th December on the PlayStation 4. As the trailer teases, you can expect several new characters – and a few old ones as well – as you attempt to infiltrate an island off the shore of Los Santos, and pillage it for the “score of a lifetime”.
“Anything goes on Cayo Perico, a private paradise that's home to the infamous El Rubio, the world’s preeminent narcotrafficker and supplier to the Madrazo family,” the blurb explains. “Cayo Perico is not only the nerve centre of El Rubio’s drug empire, but the island also plays host to his other great love: marathon dance parties on golden beaches, where everyone from jetsetters and heiresses to legendary music producers gather to rave until the sun comes up.”

Rockstar says this is the largest GTA Online update to date, and in a first for the multiplayer mode, you’ll be able to enjoy it solo if you prefer. Of course, you can also play with three other friends – it’s up to you how you want to enjoy it. And remember, there’s a new underground nightclub opening beneath The Diamond Casino & Resort that you’ll be able to hang out at as well.

Cool story but where’s GTA 6 Rockstar?
I personally am looking forward to this!
@GodOfNothing indeed. It's embarrassing to think they're still updating this 2013 game 7 years later to be honest, especially considering they have only put out one game since and have barely supported that at all post-launch.
@clvr yeah, the unmatched, relentless success of this game that they're sustaining is embarrassinnnnng waaaagh.
@GodOfNothing
Rockstar is massive, they are obviously able to work on both at the same time.
@GodOfNothing
Well considering how long it takes to make open worlds these days at the quality level they do it's not surprising. I mean just look at how long CP2077 was in production haha
Red Dead 2 was in development for 8 years, so hopefully we'll see GTA 6 before the end of the PS5 life cycle!
@BowTiesAreCool no need to mock.
If you're ok with having only 2 games every 10 years, with basically only one receiving post-launch support, I'm genuinely glad for you.
I for one, though, would very much like to be able to play more different games, instead of the same game for 7 years. Everything gets stale after a while.
Also, don't know why feel the need to defend a mega corporation resting on its laurels, when at its peak it was able to put out a game a year while keeping the quality bar pretty high.
Dont like mmorpg but this is gold standard
Not a fan of rockstar. Overrated mediocre storytelling
The most milked out game this decade
@clvr bit of an odd comment, I have loads of games. Odd proposition that someone would stick to playing one or two games for years but hey. I'm not depending anyone, I just can't get my head around a crybaby attitude over something that a company is doing very well. It's an odd concept this, but you don't actually have to play it or spend your time seething. Move on.
@BowTiesAreCool dude maybe don't take everything so personally?
Point is: I'd rather see more than 2 games every 10 years from such a high-profile and once prolific dev/publisher.
I mean, it's not exactly unreasonable to expect such a huge company to put out more than 2 games in a decade, especially looking at their track record.
In any case, why you had to make this about you in particular is beyond me, as if I made knew your gaming habits 😅
@clvr I feel like they need to reduce the size of the map for their next game, like why is part of the first map from RDR1 in RDR 2 only to have nothing to do there because of a plague going on? Why even add it in the first place if you're not going to add anything to it? They probably would have had more development time if they cut that part of the map out entirely.
@Nepp67 I think it’s just fanservice so fans of the first game can say “oh hey! I remember this!”
Had to delete this today to make room for Cyberpunk 2077's patch. A worthy sacrifice.
@Nepp67 agreed!
In general I personally prefer smaller, more dense handcrafted worlds than huge stretches of window dressing interspersed with copied and pasted outposts, like most Ubi games are for example.
RDR 2 took all of Rockstar's studios 8 years to make. What makes people think they could have another game out in 2?
@clvr read your comment and try again. Using the ignore function now, have a decent night, bro! X
Imagine all of the franchises R* could be working on under their illustrious portfolios, now scrap all that imagination for THIS! No way we’re getting anything other than more GTA/ Read Dead online content in foreseeable future
@BowTiesAreCool well if you really ignored for such a little "debate", you must be pretty frail 😯
I had no ill will at all towards, I don't know why you had to blow it out of proportion.
By the way, if you really think I was talking about you in particular enjoying 2 games per decade without understanding I was talking in general, still think so after my explanation and even go on to use ignore for so little, well, I'm glad you did cause I don't want anything to do with such a thin-skinned crybaby who's only good at mocking others instead of getting their points 🤷🏼♂️
Some people really are incredible lol
@clvr at the moment rockstar don't need to release gta6 or any other game for that matter. Yeah it would be nice to see a new Bully or Manhunt but why risk it when gta online makes them so much money. Rockstar are also about to break records when they release the remastered gta5 on the new gen consoles and you can guarantee people will buy it even if just to see the difference in visuals
@Andy653 oh don't get me wrong, I know that and I absolutely agree!
I was not talking about their financial side, I was talking about the players' perspective!
I absolutely don't blame them for shifting to this kind of business as it makes sense financially, but I can't help but feel that they could do more with the resources they have.
Hope it's clearer now 😃
This looks like a cool addition to a game i love and have played a lot since September 2013. However it is GTA 6 that i want.
What is GTA 5 on PS5 going to be? More grass and trees but now in 4K? I want Miami, swamps, islands, new story, and new characters. I want GTA 6.
I just want a nice Single Player expansion or GTA6 now tired of the constant online stuff from Rockstar!
