During the latest financial earnings call, Take Two said that “additional content exclusive to the new consoles and PC” is planned for Grand Theft Auto Online. This new content will arrive in 2021, but Take Two offered no more details on what form the content will take.
Take Two’s president, Karl Slatoff, also promised that the next-generation versions of Grand Theft Auto 5 – which also includes a standalone version of GTA Online, as revealed as part of Sony’s PS5 reveal stream – will have a variety of technical improvements that will make it “more responsive”.

A press release from Rockstar in June explained that the next-generation versions of GTA 5 will be released in the second half of 2021, so it will be at least next July before we see it. As for that new content, it’s unrevealed as to if it will be available simultaneously with the next-gen version’s launch, or deployed in a staggered release schedule.
