Rockstar Games has officially announced "Money Fronts," the next major update for Grand Theft Auto Online, set to arrive on June 17, 2025. The update introduces a sophisticated layer to the criminal underworld of San Andreas, allowing players to establish seemingly legitimate businesses as covers for their illicit activities, reminiscent of the popular series Breaking Bad. At the heart of the "Money Fronts" update is the ability for players to acquire and manage a range of storefronts that operate as fronts for money laundering. The entry point into this new venture is the iconic Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry.

GTA 5 Online update: New money laundering fronts

At the core of the update is the Hands On Car Wash, a low-profile but cash-intensive business that allows players to launder dirty money. With support from Martin Madrazo, players will connect with new advisors who help them manage operations, unlock additional fronts, and expand their laundering empire.Players will be able to expand their legitimate portfolio to include other businesses like the "Smoke on the Water" dispensary and "Higgins Helitours." These additional fronts will not only help launder ill-gotten gains but also boost the earnings from existing criminal enterprises, such as weed farms and air freight cargo.Owning the car wash will also provide access to other businesses, including the Smoke on the Water dispensary and Higgins Helitours, which enhance earnings from Weed Farms and Air Freight Cargo networks.

Illegal activities tied to these operations will generate Heat, attracting unwanted attention. Players must balance criminal dealings with legitimate business management to keep their passive income flowing while avoiding law enforcement scrutiny.
