Other
- Two new Arcade Games have been added to Pixel Emporium:
- A new Drug Vehicle "ambient" random event has been added.
- 15 new sets of Off-Road Wheels have been added and can be purchased at any modification garage.
- 30 new sets of new class of Street Wheels have been added and can be purchased at any modification garage.
Character Customization
- Over 320 clothing items, as well as 24 new masks, have been added.
Vehicles
This update includes 15 vehicles, all of which are immediately accessible to the players on the appropriate websites, including 6 Benny's Original Motor Works upgrades to existing vehicle stock:
Two of the Benny's vehicles, the Manana and Peyote, provide the first opportunity to purchase the stock vehicles legitimately, and the description of the Peyote on the Benny's site makes clear reference to the fact that it could previously only be obtained by stealing one off the street. There are now only eight vehicles in GTA Online that are allowed to be stolen and stored that cannot be purchased legitimately: Baller (1st gen), Blista, Dubsta, Duneloader, Emperor, Mesa (stock), Phoenix and Speedo.
Quality of Life Updates
See the full update notes for more information.
- Players now have an increased cap on how many standard properties they can own. This has been raised to eight.
- When a player enters The Diamond Casino & Resort, they are now told how long they have remaining before they can spin the Lucky Wheel again.

- Updates have been made to the frequency that players receive the help text “The Terrorbyte is parked nearby.”
- Updates have been made to the frequency that players receive the calls from LJT about their Businesses.
- These "calls" are now received via SMS, not phone call interruptions.
- The vehicles in Simeon’s Export Requests have been updated to increase the reward for successful delivery.
- Sourced vehicles can now only be resprayed, but the respray is free, increasing profit.
- Several updates have been made to Open Wheel Races:
- Pits:

- New particle effects now appear when healed
- Players are now always Passive when in the pits
- Players can now change tire type mid-Race while stationary when in the pits

- Vehicle Damage:
- New UI has been added that indicates when players have broken their front/rear wings and main vehicle body.
- Red screen effects now appear when losing a part of vehicle or if a tire bursts.
- Camera Shake effect has been added for when losing part of vehicle.
- All tire types now wear down faster and Hard and Medium tires now have noticeably less grip.
- Anti-Grief:
- If players do not collect a checkpoint within 12 seconds or if the player is given a wrong way shard, they will be made passive/ghosted until collecting another checkpoint. This only applies to Rockstar Created Open Wheel Races.
- Vehicles:
- The two new Open Wheel vehicles can be used in all Rockstar Created Open Wheel Races.
- Music:
- Ambient music is now off by default in Rockstar Created Open Wheel Races. Players can choose this to be on in UGC Open Wheel Races.
- UI:

- A new Start Countdown has been added.
- Pits:
- Players can no longer rapidly tap accelerate and always get the boost at the start of the Race. Players must now only accelerate once “Go” is shown to get the boost. For Open Wheel Races, you need to only accelerate after the countdown lights are removed.
