GTA 5 Online's Mansions update could be Its last

Despite being released over a decade ago, GTA 5 is still one of the most popular titles in the world right now. And a fair share of credit goes to its online counterpart, GTA Online. GTA 5 might have never got a DLC update, but Rockstar never left GTA Online behind.That is why GTA 5 Online is slated for yet another major update in the coming winter, which will have accessible Mansions across the game. However, as GTA 6’s release is nearing soon, the Mansions update might well be the last for GTA 5 Online.

Is the Mansions update going to be the last for GTA 5 Online?

It’s the unique aspect of each update that makes GTA 5 Online legendary. For example, fans liked the Money Fronts update in the latest summer DLC very much. A Money Front is actually a legally operating business that also plays the role of a decoy against your laundering illicit income. Similarly, the upcoming winter DLC will also feature a unique aspect called Mansions. As the name suggests, players will be able to purchase, interact, and even set up businesses in Mansions. Dataminers came to conclusion when they found uncovered references of interactable Mansions in the Money Fronts update in-game files.Recently, popular GTA leaker Tez2 revealed more details about the update. According to him, the leftover scripts point towards Mansions functionality similar to Casino Penthouse.

That means, players will be able to host parties, install arcade gaming setups, and many more.

If all of these rumors come out to be true, then it is going to be the most exciting treat for the GTA 5 Online fans as the Mansions update is slated to be the biggest update of the game. Sadly, this update might well become its last as well. As per the regular GTA Online update schedule, the game generally releases two-three major DLC a year, often spread across spring, summer, and winter.

The upcoming Mansions DLC is going to be a winter update, which might release in December 2025. And as the GTA 6 launch is looming over everyone’s head on May 26, 2026, the Mansions update is highly likely to be the last one of GTA 5 Online. Also, GTA 6 is rumored to have its own online counterpart, so there are less chances that GTA 5 Online will get further updates after GTA 6 gets released. Rockstar Games is also working on testing multiplayer lobbies with support for up to 64 players, which is much higher than that of GTA 5 Online. So, the upcoming winter update might be the biggest win for the fans, because the Mansion is probably the most requested feature in the game. Also, this update will pose as a fitting send-off to the GTA 5 era.Read More: Ex-Rockstar technical lead Obbe Vermeij predicts AI will lower GTA 7’s dev cost, but “higher-level creati
